Hey everyone,
Last week felt like a real clarity week. Thanks to everyone for working together to get aligned and pushing ahead.
Let's keep the progress going this week and stay focused on our 2 tracks as a company:
- SDK
- Dev Site & Documentation
Staying focused and getting to a working V1 alpha is everything right now. Please keep speaking up, calling out blockers, and working together to push us forward.
It was so clear after talking with Sid from Coinbase Wallet that we are sitting on one of the biggest opportunities in the entire industry right now. People have real problems and need to communicate. If we stay focused on producing an SDK, working with developers, and getting the adoption of top DAppS that the wallets will want to integrate XMTP. This was so motivating to hear from Sid. Please read and comment on Sid's feedback from our meeting here.
Let's have a great week.

What we are reading/listening to
