Sasha Ivanov, founder of the public chain project Waves and Vires Finance, said on Twitter: "It's time to clarify some things about the Waves ecosystem and my participation in it. Waves has become a decentralized ecosystem composed of independent projects. Own roadmap. I'm not a beneficiary of any projects on Waves, just an advisor to some of them. My sole goal and motivation is to make the ecosystem work. That's why I'm also responsible for issues that affect the entire ecosystem, and Committed to addressing these issues.”

Additionally, Ivanov announced that Waves.exchange is effectively relaunching (already announced last October) via a new decentralized bridge on the WX.network domain. Current gateways will continue to operate for the foreseeable future, and their liquidity issues will be resolved in about a month. There will be a new version of the lending protocol, support for new bridges, and other major improvements. Vires holders will receive protocol profits as before. The new version is expected to be around mid-March.
