• Internally, we've been working hard at our automation tools. We're currently working on preparing the onboarding of our 1400 Scholars and around 8000 Discord members to our upcoming toolkit. In time, this tooling will be linked across all BP verticals and users will utilise these on a daily basis.

• CyBall is growing at an amazing pace, with number of signups now floating around 35,000, a whopping 50% more than last week. DAU numbers are at 8,000+ players, with 900,000+ PVP matches already finished,
• The Mentoring push has been moved for a week until March 22 to allow for CyLoans updates, with new art for Genesis/Season 1 Mentoring already created,
