Things are cruising along and the activities in and around the CMF are non-stop!
Please reference April 2023 report for some of the preliminary intel around roles and activities.
https://kaspatalk.org/viewtopic.php?p=157#p157
Our role has continued to be been mostly designing, but more and more we're consulting in all channels as well as rolling out the Kaspa Ambassador Program, As laid out in the Marketing Proposal and a big push this month has been energizing and equipping Merchants as they accept KAS.
Some discussions started in MAY, but one that we're most excited about is the integration with CoinPal to be announced soon! Our KASPA Merchants have tested it and approved it! And the CoinPal team have been stellar! Shoring up their website, how-to guides and even changing their code and system to better improve the experience. There's even talk of a POS tool as well. Stay tuned!
Reminder of duties: The design needs requests for say, community outreach, socials, avatars, a resized version of art, or a blank design for others to add their own language is sometimes a daily activity. I'm also managing the socials, with a growing few mods (Twitter, Facebook, Linked In) including the Youtube channel, editing and reposting the AMAs and then posting to socials. We're also managing the website and are now in talks with someone about a makeover, moving the site from being an educational/info focus to more of a how-to get, use and pay with Kaspa as well as offering more direct links for businesses to land and get what they need to integrate, adoption, invest, etc.

We're still very grateful to all those who support these efforts! Thankful to all who are helping with marketing and continuing to grow Kaspa as the premiere digital currency for your everyday life!
