We'll always be here. Deso is an amazing idea. It may be ahead of its time, but time can catch up.

We've met so many people here who we will have lifelong relationships with. Just wanted to say that.

**Openfund Update**

We're very excited to announce that we'll be releasing Openfund 2.0 this week. Openfund will be down for maintenance starting tomorrow Wednesday September 27th at 10am ET. I'll provide an update when the maintenance is completed.

Openfund 2.0 brings support for trading all tokens with USDC and brings support for trading, purchasing, and sending BTC, ETH, and SOL.

A few months ago, a close friend and I set up a fitness challenge we called our "Ubermensch Challenge." The idea was to create a challenge that would encourage us to get both stronger and better at cardio.

We came up with the following criteria:
* Upper body: Bench press 5x5x185lb
* Lower body: Deadlift 5x5x275lb and/or Squat 5x5x225lb
* Cardio: Erg a 2k under 7m. If you're a runner you could maybe equate this with running a 6m mile. It's like a reasonably fast "freshman in high school" time.

Before the challenge, my bench, squat, and deadlift were all pretty much there because I'd been lifting. I was actually at 5x5x225lb for bench and 5x5x325lb for squat. So the tricky part was picking up the 2k without sacrificing strength.

Today I'm proud to say I've completed the hardest part of the Ubermensch challenge (for me) by rowing a sub-7m 2k!

I wouldn't say I'm especially proud of this time. In high school my PR was 6:25 as a 155lb lightweight, and now I weigh 190lbs.

But it's the first 2k I've done in maybe a decade, after a couple months of mostly "easy" steady-state conditioning. And I have to say it still feels good to break 7m.

I'm going to keep training and see where I get. The trick is I'm also lifting now, which I wasn't doing in high school (squatting, bench press, overhead press, deadlift, rows, etc...).

On the one hand lifting makes it harder to prioritize erg training. But on the other hand, it means more strength on the erg, and it's probably better for overall health.

Let's see where I am a year from now. And if you think you can complete the Ubermensch challenge, post and let me know!

Wanted to provide an update on this annoying wallet issue. If you've seen an error like this, know that we are hoping to have it fixed in the next week or so.

We are able to reproduce the error reliably now and @LazyNina has made it her top priority to fix it.

DeSo's Full-Stack Advantage

Announcing a few exciting updates this week

Been working for the past several weeks straight refining our next app concepts, and excited to share the latest with you all soon.

It's looking like we will be launching two or three apps simultaneously after Revolution PoS ships, each with their own token that will be listed on Openfund, which leverages the DeSo DEX, our fully on-chain order-book exchange. These apps will take some time, not shipping within the next couple months as we're focused on nailing them, but I'm excited to see what you guys think of the latest proposals.

In the meantime our new block explorer and some really cool Openfund updates are dropping shortly as well. These will allow you to trade DESO itself and Bitcoin directly on the DeSo DEX.

Most don't realize DeSo is one of the most advanced platforms in crypto, capable of so much nothing else even comes close to achieving, but we'll be reminding them soon. We show, we don't tell. Innovate, focus on what matters, and be so good they can't ignore you.

It’s my DeSo birthday!

It’s been an absolute pleasure getting to know so many of you. This platform has been one of the best things to happen to me and I can’t wait to see where we are another year down the road. Thanks for everyone’s support!

@LazyNina Still planning on selling these?

BitClout just made us happy men.
