"I’d like to break the silence for a moment and take some time to reflect on our past month of building Meridian. Here’s a brief summary of what we’ve accomplished, what’s currently in progress, and our plans for the future.

First and foremost, we are working to onboard strategic investors and partners to bolster various aspects of Meridian. We are currently in talks with a few individuals and companies who will play a crucial role in expanding our network and securing additional funding down the line. The funds we raise will be primarily directed towards bolstering USDM liquidity and further stabilizing the stability pool to mitigate MST inflation, especially during the developmental stage. In the future, these funds may support other ventures within the Meridian ecosystem.

Secondly, we’ve reached a consensus regarding the features and unique selling points we intend to develop. Progress has commenced on developing such features which will differentiate Meridian from other vanilla GMX forks and help secure our spot as the preferred trading platform on Base. Further details on this initiative will be released in the coming months.

Thirdly, we are engaged in discussions with other protocols within the Base ecosystem to explore potential asset integrations. Although we can’t make any guarantees at this stage, we are continuing to make progress on this front and have built important connections with protocols which will help with future integrations and partnerships once our own protocol has matured.

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone that has supported the protocol up to this stage. As we continue to navigate the complexities of the industry and work towards achieving our goals, we encourage you to stay engaged, share your insights, and join us in shaping the future of Meridian 🙏"
