ACTUAL DELIVERABLES FOR 2024👇
(don't read if you get triggered by lots of stuff)

👉 Comms Tower Structure (Outposts)
📅 Mar 20th
Allows holders to deposit DD to decrease fortification requirements at each outpost.
👉 ADA distribution system and first ADA claim
📅 April 15th
Exactly on time, exactly when we said we would. 4 months after we ordered mining hardware. 3 months of compounding, and then 1 month to the first distribution.
144,964 ADA distributed on this day, and 16,849 ADA injected to $derp LP.
(We've done these ADA distributions and LP injections every month on the 15th, despite work travel, Rare Evo, etc)
👉 World Mobile Earthnode Integration
📅 May 8th
Launched the Shrine Satellite feature for every outpost, letting the community opt-in for a chance to win $WMT every ten days.
👉 Energy Compound (Outposts)
📅 July 15th
Allows holders to earn DD by predicting the energy use at their outpost in a fun, immersive, gamified mini-game.
👉 Adventures + PLATFORM
📅 August 26th
Our largest deliverable ever. Not just the game experience, which is dope, but the platform we built behind it that allows us to accelerate our rate of NEW deliverables massively (we MIGHT already have our first new content layer coming next week 👀)

These are actual, functional deliverables that the community is interacting with and being rewarded by today.
There's much to say about every one of them, and no single thread (even from me) could do them justice.
Some are immersive and interactive, most were introduced with voice-acted cinematic/videos, some increase rewards holders receive every single epoch.
For the August distribution (which occurs on Sep 15th, though I'll be in Hawaii on my honeymoon,) I think we will have passed 400k ADA distributed to holders, with somewhere around 40k ADA injected into the $derp LP.

And guess what?
It worked.
Throughout this year, we have continued to see an uptick in ecosystem users almost every month.
More and more NFT enjoyers are finding their way into Derpetonia... in large part because we just did what we said we would do.
NFTs are actually fun again in Derpetonia.
You're owed transparency.
You're owed accountability.
You're owed communication and updates.
You're owed what's been promised to you.
(We consider these just the table stakes)
We still have 1/3 of 2024 to go, and we've got a lot more in store for it.
It's too early to talk about 2025, but scroll up, read about what we've done in the first eight months of this year, consider that we just launched PLATFORM, and dream of what is possible for next year.
Early.
