How is it already mid-July? As we at RARI Foundation are setting goals for the third quarter of 2023, we are looking back at the last (awesome!) three months and what we achieved.

First quarter of 2023 was in many ways defining for the RARI Foundation. With an active participation of our community and core contributors, we were able to shape important initiatives, consolidate channels of communication, build and expand delegation program and more.

Today is the day! After weeks of public discussions and refinement, the new proposal for $RARI listing and bidding incentives (RRC-7) is up for voting!
