**Partnership Progress** Alien Base has made significant progress on liquidity pool partnerships, declining one of three proposals while advancing the remaining two. The team needs to send updated terms for one partnership and review a received proposal for the other, targeting final decisions next week. **Security Infrastructure** After multiple evaluation calls, the team has identified a preferred security monitoring tool and is scheduling a demo to validate compatibility before implementation. **System Status** Current systems remain operational with vaults entering beta phase. The Base ecosystem continues expanding with new strategic alliances forming across the network.
