Minter’s Month in Review — September 2020

Minter
3 min readOct 2, 2020

We’ve entered the final phase of Minter network 1.2 upgrade testing: validators, developers, and all interested members of the community took part in private and public trials. Minter Hub (DAO), a long-awaited governing body comprised of developers, is moving full steam ahead with its launch plans. Almost 300 million BIPs that have been amassed since May last year will soon be channeled toward voting on community proposals. We expect thousands of addresses — those of Minter developers, managers, evangelists, validators, and delegators — to be engaged right from the start. Such decentralization may be envied by almost every blockchain!
