Cedar Token Space 1/11/25

Claim-Pad updates:
•    Sam went into details of the challenges of building the claim-pad after the exploit of the staking platform.  Example: The database issues of tokens that were staked (EGC and Lucro) that were unclaimed in the staking platform.
•    Working with Brewlabs and calculating what the airdrops would have been for the EverGrow Man giveaway. (137,000 wallets)
•    Working to ensure the token allocation database was correct/accurate in advance before the token could go live – this required building (which has been live for everyone to see).
•    CTO has been in charge of the claim-pad.
•    Reiterated that first round of team testing of the claim-pad was a success (from mid-December). No issues were found with exception of a minor typo on the site. Sam talked about how everything worked as it should and this was the first time in our project that we had a product made that worked as intended the first time. A reflection of the technical knowledge and hard work of our CTO. Sam shared the deep frustration he and the team had over the last few years of dealing with devs and the constant issues/delays. Again, a positive reflection of our CTO.
•    Our CTO works part-time and has a full-time job/family etc. so it takes time.
•    Sam and the team understand that while it may take longer for that reason, it gets done right and time is saved on fixing issues which would have been made by other devs.

Token Launch updates:
•    Team testing and retesting issues with liquidity.
•    Team have launched several test tokens to make sure when we do launch Cedar Token, we ensure we get it right.
•    Team (specifically Rocket) working with liquidity specialist(s) in order to help guide decisions related to how liquidity is distributed (Rocket covered V3 liquidity on previous Spaces).

Atlas Wallet Updates:
•    Cody has been working hard on the Atlas account (X), and Sam praised his work on building the account and developing a following.
•    Sam spoke about the compliance expert that was hired to deal with the challenges of getting approved on the Apple app store.
•    Sam said the main obstacle of launching on the Apple app store is because Atlas integrates four DEX’s.  Apple asked those DEX’s be removed and they would approve Atlas. Sam made it clear that that wasn’t happening because it is an apparent double standard, as other wallets integrate DEX’s just like Atlas, yet they have been approved. 
•    Sam discussed law related to DEX’s and them not being crypto exchanges. Instead, they are considered software (not regulated). Apple disagrees.
•    Sam believes this issue with Apple may need to be taken to court to be resolved.
•    Atlas working on final build. In the meantime, up to 10,000 downloads will be made available through test flight until approved by Apple app store.
•    Sam reiterated that Certik has audited Atlas, as well as Kudelski having audited and made recommendations, which were addressed.
•    Full marketing of Atlas will be after approved on Apple app store.
•    Atlas will essentially have a soft launch when ready.
