* There are new guidelines for posting a proposal, follow them for best results.

## Project Development Status
* Staking Contract for use in Agave governance is in development
* We've recruited a new frontend developer, Nolan, who has begun restructuring the UX flow
* Boris has come up with a visual theme for the frontend
* Zed has finished converting the frontend to TypeScript and Typechain, and is now working on the Subgraph
* Security Module - For improved robustness and better integration with the Agave DAO, we've decided to develop a stronger Security Module. This will be new contract source, audited separately from the main codebase. Until such a module is developed and approved, a proposal is up for 500 AGVE (0.5% of total supply) to be dispersed over a period of 6 months, matching the model currently in use by Aave.
* [Agave drip function](https://forum.1hive.org/t/informational-only-proposal-for-an-agve-lp-contract-drip/3328?u=monstrosity) is in its final development stages with an anticipated execution late next week.
