user-friendly is key! would you be willing to make a forum post for this initiative for us to follow along–updates, etc?

personally i’d love to see what you have in mind, and how it compares with the experience of existing explorers. there’s another new one in development here: https://namada.world

ZecHub Research: Privacy Best Practices

Intro ZecHub would like to formally take the leading role in privacy best practice research. While centering on Namada, this research could apply to many areas in the cosmos ecosystem and beyond. Background ZecHub provides easy to understand education resources, a weekly newsletter, Wallet Demos, and video explainers on Zcash / Namada / Penumbra.

fyi @deNodes, i updated the Namada links in Discord to include deNodes app. i couldn’t find the link to your app on your website or https://www.denodes.app

Hey @Gavin! Correct, the deNodes app is still under active development. We believe both the app and the website will be updated when we roll out the full features. Thanks for updating the Namada links to include it.

Hey Gavin! Apologies for being late, for some reason i didnt get a notification when you replied to my post..

Since the delegation program is tricky due to all the backend things, its hard to say what exactly we can improve until we see it. Obviously there are things to improve (like in any program since none are perfect), but since Anoma adopted the program for Celestia, and we have developed that (including backend things), i am pretty sure we could improve it (weights/scoring on different sections like geolocation, uptime, security, contributions etc.). Based on what i have seen from the selections and feedback, i am positive we could help out (but that is only IF the foundation is willing to “let us in”).

Like i also mentioned, we would love to tackle that task if it is still open.

makes sense, thanks @mindstyle85! i will ping @mauricewbr, i think he will be interested to chat!

if you are still up for taking this on, can you pls post a reply here? Guide: Enabling Namada support for a new IBC token
that would be

we’ve begun by delegating 500k NAM to P-OPS Team validator–pls keep us posted with progress so we can increase this

[ChainflowPOS]

Which section in the forum should we post that in?

[mindstyle85]

To update here as well, we have posted the guide for enabling a new IBC token on Namada. As for the delegation program - Maurice has told me this will be on the backburner for a bit, mainly due to bandwidth issues within the Foundation at the moment.
