Update: Week Of 16 March 2020

Dear Tezos community, As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread around the globe, our hearts go out to the many people all across the world who have been affected in one way or another. We are monitoring the situation closely, particularly as it pertains to global asset deterioration, and we can assure you that the Foundation is well-prepared with sufficient funds to continue executing on its priorities despite the global downturn.

To the entire Tezos community – please stay safe and take every precaution as directed by your local authorities. We are in this together, and we are sure that the ingenuity and initiative of the Tezos community will shine in these trying times.

In other news, we are excited to release the second edition of the Tezos Foundation Biannual Update. A lot of hard work went into pulling this together and we hope you enjoy reading. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Best regards,

Ryan
