Know about what we have up to

Founders

“Businesses are built by networking” is a phrase in a Forbes article that explains the importance of constructing long-lasting and meaningful relationships with people both inside and outside of a specific industry. That is what the founder team was up to, of course, besides their daily time-consuming product development agenda. Some examples of the latter are Aggre joining the Chinese New Year's party for investors and Mayumi attending the other post-conference meeting on the METAWATER release day.

Business team

As many of you may know, METAWATER’s joint venture was a big deal secured by Kaoru, our senior business developer. The latter experience has opened a door for many public and private enterprises looking for similar collaborations, which strengthened our B2B channel. Kaoru and the team are working on assessing the potential of these proposals. As always, Kaoru’s work can not be disclosed yet! BUT we have as a target a very BIG entertainment company on the roadmap!

Governance team

The governance team continued its task of developing the Web3 report series. So far, Mariko and the team have developed:

"4 Fundamental Models of DAO Governance".

The team is preparing the two following parts, which will explain how DEV envisions the future of governance for Clubs and what is the regulatory framework in Japan and worldwide. Do not you dare to miss the next parts of our Web3 Report!

Discover what is new in Clubs

The developer team finished some very expected features like private admin areas and free memberships. The prior will allow creators to restrict the admin settings of the Clubs. Safety-oriented features for creators come first as always! The latter, free memberships, is being tested on the pre-release environment. We can expect to be on the creators’ hands in a matter of days

Also, Stu, Yash, and Shubham started to work on the invitation feature. It will allow creators to send DM to potential members of their Clubs. The team finished the endpoint to claim invitations and added an ID duplication check.

Finally, some updates for our partnership with Metawater were on the plate this month. This includes working on the SBT contracts.
