‼️‼️Announcement ‼️‼️ Today we had planned to release the MELD testnet to the first 500 early beta testers. Due to several frontend GUI bugs and issues we are delaying the release by three more days in order to give the engineers a little more time to address the more egregious of the bugs. The new date for release is the 19th. The current status is that the backend and smart contracts are complete and working correctly. But the frontend is not quiet there. The reason for this is due to our lead frontend engineer having surgery a month ago and then while recovering catching the flu and has been out of work since. We brought in a temporary replacement but he has not been able to work at the same pace. As of Thursday last week we were on track, but over the weekend several issues were not resolved meaning we will push it a few days in order give the team time to fix them. They are not major issues in the protocol, but they are major issues in the frontend GUI. Over the course of the next few hours we will be releasing wallet addresses and Tx showing the protocol is working, we have supplying and borrowing and it’s working as expected. You will be able to dig around and see these activities on the blockchain. While it sucks that we needed to delay this, it’s only a two day delay, issues like illness cannot not be accounted for always.
