A few things we will cover in this update: Our cumulative fundraise between Copperlaunch, IDO, and private rounds raised $2.5 million in value, which gives us runway to rapidly expand and accelerate our roadmap. The operational load has been heavier in April than any other month for good reason. Fundraising is just the beginning of our journey to becoming the premiere P2P and Limit Order platform in DeFi, and our team has been busy making sure that the legal, recruiting, training, marketing, and product delivery aspects of Dexpools are 100% ready for us to achieve our goals for 2022.

Dexpools moves IDO to February 2022 — Dexpools It seems like we were just here recently, and want to sincerely apologize to our community for the uncertainty around our IDO timing. Everyone has been amazing, and we have had great success with the closed beta, multiple AMAs across chains, and collaboration with new teams. Our partners including Solarbeam, the core team, and advisors decided to move our IDO back to February for several reasons — but 99% of our reasoning had to do with supporting the feedback from our ecosystem partners and product roadmap. After our awesome closed beta early December, we quickly gathered feedback from the community and our partners. That feedback incubated into a healthy backlog and immediate items we wanted to include in both the official platform launch and the upcoming open beta in mid-January. While we made significant progress on the product, the proximity of our open beta with the IDO made us increasingly nervous about the logistics around a h
