They also mention that the telegram bot will be finished after the trading engine. The speaker concludes by thanking th our thread of yesterday, providing like an update on the situation. Let me start with apologizing that we had to move our TG from like week 39 to like week 41, but it's like after the situation with like banana gun we decided it would be good to get like a peer review and at the same time when we use those extra two weeks to ramp up like our marketing activities. Wait, let me mute. Let me mute this person. Here, perfect. I'm muted now. So, where was I? So, we will use those extra two weeks to get the momentum going again. Like we are in chats with like some KOLs making sure we can amplify our own marketing efforts. Also, as we wrote in our thread, we will provide more educational content. This will be about the telegram bot, like some more details on the futures that a telegram bot will have. We will also provide like some additional information on the trading engine because I know we've mentioned it like multiple times in different threads, but we haven't provided like a document with a more like eLife explain like M5 explanation of the trading engine. So, we will do that as well. Aside from that, I can also tell that we are working and talking with some interested parties who are potentially joining us as backers. Like I cannot disclose yet who those people are because we're still having the conversation. But as soon as we can confirm anything, we will definitely do it. And I also spoke in the thread about having our first partnership. Like I can provide like some details on it. It will be with a project which is based like Arbitrum. We will become their official OTC partner. As previously already mentioned, we will be supporting like multi-chain OTC trades. But we first will start with Arbitrum. Like the backend already supports it, only we need like a UI to make sure everything is working smoothly. And we expect this to have this finished on like Friday or Saturday. And as soon as we have done, we can announce the partnership. Aside from that, let me... Yeah, also we provided like we shared our roadmap. Those are items for like Q4 2023 and for Q1 next year. Basically, these items we hope, we expect them to be finished within like the next 6 months. But if everything goes as planned, we will be able to finish it sooner. But for now, the main focus would be TGE trading engine and Telegram bot. And the only thing that I need to say is we... Like the Telegram bot is basically good to go. But we first need to finish the trading engine before we can implement it in the Telegram bot as well. And then we can finish it off and do end-to-end testing. It's a bit unfortunate Adrian isn't here. Like otherwise, could have explained some more on the technical updates. Are there any like burning questions from the community side that you guys want to know? Because I can imagine you guys have some. No? Literally no one is having any questions. That's hard to believe. Don't be shy, please. Somebody is writing. No questions. Well, what I also can tell is that with our advisory board, we also spoke about like a content plan leading up to the coming 4 weeks. We have also been debating about doing like a Zilliq campaign like we did for our Mint as well. But we will probably step away from it because we believe it's... Check the message on general chat. This is an overreaction you've been building for quite a long time and still decided to decided to postpone for 2 weeks while assuring that launch will definitely happen at the end of September. If you didn't have strong utility and great potential, the price would be much lower of such an announcement. I'm selling because I realize it's stupid at this price, but I won't hide it. I'm disappointed with the pace of development. Well, I'm sorry to say, but if you look at the time we have been developing, this is not that long, to be honest with you. If you look at some projects we're building for like years or even like a year, we haven't been building that long. And on top of that, we already have a product live and working. It's just like an additional feature set that we're building out. And the thing is, what would you rather have us rushing into like the launch or taking additional 2 weeks, make sure everything is working smoothly? And that's like the trade-off that we made. And we decided to go for the latter. So make sure everything is going smoothly. So, yeah, I'm sorry if you're disappointed, but it's unfortunately the way it will happen. Oh, I just see Adrian hopped on as well. Yo, yo, sir. Benny, so marketing will start with TGE. And we will start basically like today, you can expect like today, tomorrow, you can expect the post with the first new content. And this is, yeah, we will be pushing content till and afterwards to the TGE to get like more exposure. We're also looking to do some AMAs and Twitter spaces. So we get like some more exposure as well, try to onboard new people. Also, Adrian, someone just, I think you can see the question in the general chat. He is about, with regard of the pace of development, that he finds it a bit disappointing. But I just mentioned, like, if you look at the total time we have been building, not that long, and we already go for safety, then rush into things. Maybe you can provide like some additional information on this as well. Well, I think we're kind of like, we have a backlog right now of things we haven't released yet that we've been working on. So yeah, definitely looking forward to some releases coming up soon. It's kind of changing everything at TGE as our goal. But some of the work is pretty intensive. So definitely take some time. But we should see some releases coming up on week 41. Perfect. When can we expect marketing to kick off? What will this entail? Well, the marketing in this case, well, marketing, you can do like different kind of marketing. And what we want to push on is like the educational side is making people aware of what we are building at Pineswap. And this will be the focus. Like, we are not so much into shilling for simply like a pump and dump. We are ready to raise awareness via original content and explanations about what we're building, our products. And then we have the Twitter spaces where we want to tap into some of the Unchained communities. So yeah, I hope. Does this answer your question? And what channels will the content come via? So it will be mostly focused on Twitter. And we will also use Medium as a push, like some longer form content. But it's like mostly these two. And yes, we will also be being more present, like in the Discord for any additional questions the community might have. What about the bot, the Telegram bot? As previously mentioned, we first need to finish the trading engine and then we can finish off the Telegram bot. The trading engine is coming along. We basically had to mock every part of the system for us to be able to do end-to-end testing. So that took some time. But now we have everything running locally for our test suite and mocked in a way where we can fully replicate the behavior that we'll see in production. So things have moved a lot faster since we got the mock set up. So right now we have a complete order match working. It'll match opposing orders on Pineswap. So that's all good to go. We're just kind of still working on the sub-world with also the deck aggregators in this space. We want to also merge that. Thank you everyone for tuning in. And well, thanks for your time and patience and the trust that you guys have in us. We won't disappoint you guys. Thanks again. Have a nice weekend already. Bye-bye. Take care, everyone.
