New announcement from 0xmgb in Discord:

Hi @everyone! We’re going to start sharing biweekly updates here to keep everyone updated on our progress.

**Product**
* The Omni Private Beta has officially been live for 3 weeks
* The most recent Mainnet releases were v0.076 (https://discord.com/channels/1196857788220067943/1338537927365492818/1338538093216796723) and v.0.079 (https://discord.com/channels/1196857788220067943/1338537927365492818/1339694988648382485).
* Dev work has been focused on improving stability/reliability. We are working to move many data feeds from external providers to in-house infrastructure.
* Many behind-the-scenes improvements were made to OLP, tightening quoting and making hedging processes more efficient.
* Improved the speed of the listing process, with more optimizations coming to help Omni be the first to list perps on new assets.
* We’ve been receiving lots of very useful feedback from private beta users, and will begin focusing on user requests (largely UX improvements) after stability work is finished. Some of the UX features in development include quantity input in USDC, improvements to the “transfers” page, and increased leverage on majors.
* Audit with Spearbit is ongoing, powered by a grant from Arbitrum.

**Community**
* We’ve whitelisted all users that hold Variational NFTs, and will now start moving on to whitelisting people from the waitlist.
* Lucas had his first-ever podcast appearance with Jack Niewold last week: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NSWrIOEzVU>
* We hosted a Twitter Space with Lucas last Friday to discuss how the private beta has gone so far and what inspired him and Ed to create Variational: <https://x.com/i/spaces/1YqKDZvPLLOJV>
* Added support ticketing within Discord (<#1332419182473642107>) for more streamlined community support.
* We improved the <#1338598360688365720> and <#1342214005669756929> channels to be forums to allow for better community to team communication.
* We’re sending 2 members of our team to ETH Denver. If you’ll be there, let us know so we can meet up and chat!

**Metrics**
* # of tokens listed in past 2 weeks: 506
* Total volume traded: $8,856,803
* Total trades placed: 3,947
* Total OLP PnL: $23,654

Hi Variants!
