EDG Community Update: Jan 24th, 2022

Highlights

• The proposal to fund ‘Recruitment of Flipchan as Edgeware Runtime Core Developer’ is open for discussions (pre-governance stage). It’s the most crucial proposal for the upcoming ERUP5 upgrade.
• The crowdloan waitlist is open for Kabocha.
• All validators are requested to upgrade their nodes to the release v3.3.3 to proceed further with the ERUP5/Wako upgrade through the on-chain governance. The core community dev Ramsey recently shared the docker image for v3.3.3 aka ERUP5/Wako upgrade to save the compiling hustle for node/validator owners.
