Dear Rubi Community!

We would like to express our greetings to the Rubi community.

We sincerely announce the postponement of some critical functions and deployment schedules of the Rubi project, which were initially planned for the end of 2023. This decision should have been communicated earlier, as it was anticipated after a significant development team meeting in November. With the goal of concentrating resources and efforts on refining the core protocol of the Rubi blockchain, aiming to make Rubi a pioneering project in the theory of commodities, we have chosen to prioritize the development of our own protocol.

Today is January 6, 2024, and we regret to inform you of this somewhat "belated announcement" at the beginning of the year!

1. Postponement of KYC 2.0 Deployment:
We announce that the deployment of KYC 2.0, initially scheduled for the end of 2023, will be postponed to the first quarter of 2024.

2. Postponement Air Drop of Mana-F 
We also announce the decision to postpone the activation of the Mana-F Drop mission feature for seasons 3, 4, and 5 from December 2023 to the beginning of 2024. There is a high possibility that it will be integrated into the Beta version of the "Campaign feature". We hope that it will clarify the three aspects of the commodity concept: interaction, mission, and rewards.

Is Postponement a Good Sign?
Instead of viewing the delay negatively, with the optimistic and understanding spirit of RUBI, we should consider this a positive announcement because:

Our development team is currently prioritizing the completion of the core protocol of the Rubi blockchain. This transition is made to adapt to the digital resource model, a significant step for Rubi to become a leading blockchain project capable of managing commodity resources.

We want to emphasize that both KYC and Airdrop Mana activities have been successful twice in the past, and we believe that upgrading them for widespread deployment will not encounter significant difficulties. Therefore, the delay is merely a change in the order of work priorities, ensuring that we can provide the best experience to the community when implementing these updates.

We understand that despite the reasons explained above, some members of the Rubi community may still be disappointed with this decision. However, we hope that, with the understanding of the Rubi miner community, this "postponement decision" will ultimately be appreciated.

At this time, what should you focus on?

• Focus on Exploition: Currently, Rubi is about to welcome its 400,000th member, and with the upcoming Halving at 1.000.000 user not too far away, concentrate on maximizing production while mining efficiency is still high.

• Complete Ownership Information: Complete your ownership information as early as possible, as this is a crucial step in prioritizing during the reimplementation of KYC. (instructions available here)"

On behalf of the development team, we express our gratitude for the support and patience of the Rubi community during this time.

Sincerely!
Andy & The Rubi Team
