Hello Protonians,
Welcome to Newsletter #22
With the release of Global KYC and fiat on-ramp, the current roadmap is complete. We expect to see the announcement of a new roadmap, perhaps the team will touch upon that on the upcoming Twitter space this week. We hear about Metal Pay Europe since the middle of the last year, and now the time may have come to see it coming to life.
Thank you for reading another issue of the ProtonUK Newsletter!

We created a fund (@protonuk.xpr) where we deposited part of our block producer rewards, plus short staking rewards but also topped up the fund further. The fund will be used for development or marketing purposes:
We also topped up the protonuk.xpr fund with a further 48k XPR bringing it to a total of 150k XPR. Your suggestions and feedback on how to best use the funds are more than welcome 👍⚛️ https://t.co/UXVu64Qc4w pic.twitter.com/rmcOENozqH
