P&L


CRV price action is not helping our revenues, but strategies and locker growth helped partially offset the drop in VM revenues. However we received a good airdrop from Layer Zero (exceptional revenue in the above table), which is allowing us to stay in positive territory this month.

Association grant use report


We had excess spending this month due to a $40k audit bill and the (slightly higher than expected) legal costs. It should be the last expected exceptional legal bill. Another $31.5k audit bill is expected for August.
