Curious about what the Pi Core Team has developed behind the scenes before Mainnet? Look no further — we’re releasing this tech and product update that will be posted around the beginning of each month with an overview of the previous month’s work. These updates will focus on Pi’s technology updates and product highlights to show the Pi Core Team’s completed and ongoing efforts in developing our product, but this will not be a complete list of all work done by the Core Team during that period (e.g. minor or routine tech updates, community, operations or general business work).
