Greeting, numans! Thank you to everyone who helped us with our successful launch on SushiSwap last Saturday. We are so grateful for all of your support. Now that the token is trading, it’s time to keep building! Our goal is transparency and regular communication with our community, and we want to update everyone on our progress.

Development update

Our development effort has three main parts—frontend UI, backend, and partnership integrations. Prior to token launch, we began working on the frontend aspects of the dApp, and we’ve shared some of these screens on X. We’re in a good place with the UI right now and are going to focus more on the backend over the coming months. In light of our partnerships with Transfer and our fintech partner, the frontend design will probably require some tweaking, so we are waiting until the requirements become a little clearer before getting back to design.

Backend development began on Monday, October 16th, and we are expecting the complete process to take about five months. We will be releasing our development schedule next Friday, October 27th, so everyone can follow along with our progress. In preparation for protocol launch, we are actively working with our fintech partner to determine the requirements for integration. However, that development schedule and the resources required still need some determination. As such, we are expecting two phases of development: phase 1 is our development of the numa protocol, and phase 2 is our partnership integration. We are expecting to have more information on phase 2 over the next few weeks.

Last week, we announced our partnership with Transfer.xyz, and we met with them this week to discuss coming developments. In the first phase, Transfer is building us a custom widget that will allow users to buy the $NUMA token from our site, using any of their supported EVM chains. The widget will have $NUMA loaded into the UI, and users will connect their wallet and bridge/buy in a single transaction. We are expecting this widget to be ready in a couple of weeks. When the site has been updated and the widget added, Transfer will have a press release, and we will do a community call with their founder to discuss our relationship and the benefits of Transfer for the numa protocol. The second phase of our Transfer integration will involve the ability to mint nu money in a single transaction from any supported EVM chain. This will be ready when the protocol launches, and more information will be given regarding this at a later date.

Public relations efforts - what can you expect from us?

Now that the token has launched and development is under way, we are formalizing our PR schedule and expectations. We will always be active in our Telegram and on X to discuss the protocol, but our formal schedule will involve a monthly AMA on YouTube and a monthly development update on our blog. The first AMA will be on November 22nd, and you can expect a development update prior to each AMA. Our community will have the opportunity to submit questions to be answered in the AMA, and we will award some $NUMA tokens to the best question of the month.

Also, we are in talks with Under the Radar to appear on their Spaces show in a few weeks. We want to align this with our fintech partnership announcement, which is undergoing some exciting new developments, so we will have more information about when this when we can get both of these opportunities aligned.

We’re excited about everything we have coming up, and we thank everyone again for taking this journey with us. As always, feel free to jump in our Telegram if you have any questions.
