Hello Goons,

This morning you may have heard about the news. If not, it is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that I share the news of a tremendous loss within our team. Earlier this week, we lost our co-founder, CTO, and dear friend Eugene. We are devastated and still in deep shock.

I want to thank you for the outpouring love and support following the loss of Eugene.

Eugene, alongside the tech team are the brilliant architects behind Plume's technology. He was a beloved friend, and a tireless advocate for our mission. His spirit lives on in every line of code, every vault, and every connection this community has built together. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

I acknowledge that many of you have concerns regarding Plume. I want to reassure you that despite this devastating loss, Plume is built on solid foundations with a robust, dedicated team. Chris, our CEO, remains firmly committed to leading Plume forward.

While our immediate priority is to allow our team the space and time needed to grieve, our dedication to delivering on our commitments has not wavered. Some team members continue to tirelessly work behind the scenes to ensure continuity. I appreciate your patience, compassion, and understanding as the team navigates this difficult period.

The community that Eugene helped build is resilient and deeply valued. Your support, patience, and empathy now mean more than ever. We will keep you updated regularly and transparently as we navigate our next steps.

Thank you sincerely for your continued belief and support in Plume.
