**Platform Development** - Created promotional assets for $MONSTRO token listing - Continuing improvements to Vaults functionality - Began designing new swap interface and order management system for Epsilon **Community & Partnerships** - Hosted pre-launch [X Space discussion](https://x.com/AlienBaseDEX/status/2015839455312056374?s=20) for $MONSTRO to answer community questions - Exploring cross-promotion opportunity with r/BASE subreddit - Reviewing participation in beta program that tracks on-chain activity and rewards active users **Background**: $MONSTRO launched on Alien Base on January 27 with dual rewards (MONSTRO + ALB) and high-APR farming options.

The Mothership development team has begun code review of their APR and TVL indexer while making significant progress on strategy improvements. **Key Updates:** - Code review initiated for APR and TVL indexer contracts - Strategies are being parameterized to enable more flexible testing - Implementation of volatility-adjusted strategies now underway - New strategies cover both buy/accumulate and sell scenarios - Position strategies now factor in recent market volatility These enhancements build on previous work that included comprehensive testing of the vault creation flow and backtesting infrastructure development.

**Development Progress** - Design work has begun on a new trade page, focusing on improved swaps and order management systems - Comprehensive test suite now complete, including: - Fuzz tests - Unit tests - Foundry fork tests **Technical Milestone** The completion of the testing infrastructure marks a significant step forward in ensuring platform reliability and security. The test suite provides thorough coverage for auditors and public review. **What's Next** The team continues refining the user interface for the upcoming trade page redesign, building on previous work that included vault UI improvements and promotional materials.

The development team is wrapping up a comprehensive vault redesign, targeting completion next week. Multiple critical issues have been resolved: **Key Fixes:** - Staking flow for locked LP tokens now works without requiring unlock/wait cycles - Approval step visibility corrected throughout transaction flows - LP removal step display issues resolved - Harvest all functionality restored - esALB APR breakdown calculations fixed - Data refresh after transactions (positions, liquidity, fees) now working properly These improvements build on previous work switching to Codex API for more accurate data and creating unified vault position displays. The fixes address fundamental user experience issues that were blocking core vault operations.

**Volume Data Issues Under Investigation** The team is addressing discrepancies in volume and fee data, primarily stemming from The Graph. They're evaluating alternative data sources including DefiLlama and CoinGecko to improve consistency. **Binance Wallet Integration Progress** - Fixed multiple issues during Binance Wallet SDK testing - Switched to Rainbow Kit to resolve integration problems - Development continues into next week **$MONSTRO Pool Launch** Successfully deployed the $MONSTRO pool, marking another milestone for the platform.

Alien Base is finalizing its Vaults product after resolving major bugs and improving user experience. The platform is now highlighting **Epsilon**, a feature bringing advanced order types to Base. **Key developments:** - Vaults approaching completion with most critical issues resolved - **Epsilon introduces stop loss, take profit, and trailing stops** - advanced order types not yet available from other Base platforms - These trading tools position Alien Base as the first to offer institutional-grade order management on Base The team is fine-tuning final details before launch, with Epsilon emerging as a significant competitive differentiator in the Base ecosystem.

The team completed comprehensive testing of the Mothership flow, examining vault creation, modules, factory operations, and liquidity management for potential edge cases. Test scenarios are being documented while specifications are being prepared for frontend implementation. **Key Progress:** - Mothership contracts tested end-to-end - Search initiated for official audit partners - Backtesting infrastructure established, pending refinement - Translator interface in development for cross-strategy data handling The focus now shifts to documentation and preparing technical specifications to enable frontend integration of the new vault system.

**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.
