#52: A year of Grin News 🎂
Covering Jun 03 - Jun 09 2019
As the first year of the newsletter comes to an end, it’s easy to forget how much has happened since that first issue was published. The first London Meetup had just been wrapped up, we were on Testnet 3, and it felt as if Mainnet was at least a year away. Now, a year later, we are already preparing for our first scheduled hard fork. Yet it feels as if Grin is the youngest of toddlers still, and work has barely begun. Let’s see what the next year brings us. Thank you as always for reading. /Daniel
