Dear community members, today, we launch a regular weekly report on the status of our tasks. We hear your request for more transparent communication and understand your worries about delays. So from now on, on Fridays, we will share progress, details, explanation, and changes to plans with you.

I start by briefly talking about our plan for the next three months. At the beginning of the summer, we are planning a big marketing launch, codenamed "Make Ducks Great Again", for which we need to achieve several goals:

• Trust: pay critical debts that affect trust (yes, I'm talking about items)
• User Experience: simplify the most robust barriers in the UX (choosing, buying, and staking a duck, buying an EGG, onboarding, navigation, etc.)
• Games: rework Duck Wars, design the procedures for expanding the available games in Metaverse
• Economy: design and implement additional tools for economic sustainability

Nobody likes delays, but despite the experience and professionalism of our team, we always will meet unplanned difficulties. We are working hard to achieve the goals and give the project back the growth it deserves.

Now about our current tasks.

In Development

• Integration with Opensea.io. Delay was caused due to additional testing and research was required. But it pays off since it will allow sending not only Jackpot Ducks but, for example, 100% Obstinate. It will help to make the collection at Opensea looks rich and attractive. Thanks to Aram and Vova, who solved almost all the difficulties. Expected release — Tuesday, April 19.
• Personal achievements. Due to the delay with Opensea, the deadline for this task has also shifted. At the current stage, the achievements themselves were a way to give a little joy to the audience, but in the future, they will be an essential part of balancing the game and the economy. Today we decided to postpone achievements for a few weeks to return to more critical tasks. Expected release — will be announced next week.
• Items. Bram has done an incredible job and finished developing all (!) smart contracts for items. There are a few backend and frontend tasks left for the release. Expected release — before the end of April.
• New UX for duck staking. Another important task on which there is great progress. Together with our frontend department, we are finishing revising the experience for sending a duck to farming or to the game. Expected release — before the end of April.
• Notifications. Working on the first iteration of the internal notifications system. Now it will allow us to deliver essential product updates and expand to more personal triggers in the future. Expected release — before the end of April.

In Design

• Buying EGG. Redesigning the experience of buying EGG with different cryptocurrencies. Complex process from all points of view, but we try to make it as clear for users as possible.
• Marketplace. Figuring out how the interface can help choose the right duck depending on user goals.
• New marketing video. Working on a brand new video about us. Looks very promising, but can't tell the details yet.
