2. Biggest news item for May is we raised $800K in our initial funding round! This round of funding will be used for the development of Qilin V2. We thank the various institutions for getting our vision and backing us at the very beginning.
3. We held our first ever Qilin Community Call in May. This gives the team an opportunity to update our progress and communicate issues with the community every week. We want the community to eventually own the Qilin Protocol. Going forward, we’ll continue to make weekly community calls and you can find call minutes on our Medium.
Quick summary of the calls:
Call #1: team explained why we had this kind community call and what made us to build Qilin and why we believe the timing is right.
Call #2: we discussed our innovative Rebase Funding Rate and also took time out to reflect on recent industry issues.
Call #3: we discussed use-cases for inverse perps with respect to Altcoins, we also took time out to explain why layer 2 is not a priority for Qilin at the moment.
4. On May 22nd, Qilin celebrated the 11th Bitcoin Pizza Day with the community, to commemorate the first commercial transaction using Bitcoin.
5. The team also shared some insights on Uniswap's TWAP and DeFi liquidation mechanisms.
