Finally, the news that everyone has been looking forward to, when will SORA card registration begin… 🗓 💳 Well, there have been a few delays, however, building innovative and safe Substrate-based fintech, which is also a self-custodial and decentralized solution regularly requires more work and there are more unexpected challenges than can arise at any point. SORA Card registration and launch will of only go live with the highest quality standards, as you have come to expect from any SORA product or service. Therefore, phase 1 (pre-registration) and phase 2 (card, wallet and exchange operational) have been moved further ahead in the calendar than initially scheduled. Early December for Phase 1 and January for Phase 2 are the new release timeframes. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this causes and we look forward to your ongoing support 🙏 🌈 Learn more — Medium

The Substrate 4 integration brought with it many improvements, one of them being the implementation of charts in Polkaswap. After much duress, this functionality was released in the latest runtime upgrade, however, the data is still undergoing indexing, so there is currently information for October and November 2022, and it is consistently expanding, so please bear with us. Another improvement being worked on is the ability to view SORA network assets within Fearless Wallet (and other #DOTSAMA wallets too), this progress also goes hand in hand with the Fearless Wallet browser extension and desktop app, which will be available for everyone to try out very soon! 🦅

Work on the #SORA Kusama parachain has some great progress, with integrated testing beginning this month. More information for community testing of this exciting milestone will be available soon. Along with the bridge, work on #BEEFY proofs is also progressing smoothly. We continue to monitor the work being carried out by the team at Parity, as well as our ongoing support and solidarity toward their development team ⚙️ While $XSTUSD base pairs for liquidity provision are complete, there are still some details that are being worked on in collaboration with the Ceres team, in order to provide a better experience with liquidity provision on the SORA network. Along with this significant milestone, plenty of work is being put into concreting XST tokenomics. Please look forward to this exciting upgrade to the overall SORA tokenomics that will bring us a step closer to the goal of Many Worlds, One Economy 🌐 🏛
