🥧 PieDAO
PieDAO Weekly Update - December 3, 2021 by @kitblake
TL;DR: No active votes at the moment, some ongoing Forum discussions, and new bounties on the Bounty Board for analysis and design.

With the new interfaces LPs will be able to review their positions, balances, and vesting times, all summed up in an overview.
