A significant portion of the second term was focused on working with engineering to make the ShapeShift app multilingual and creating a workflow that offered continuous localization (synchronized translation keys and strings moving forward). The month of March saw a shift in focus on the formation of the Korean team, which has far exceeded my expectations and is going through the revamped GlobalFOX Program v2.
During the hectic merge of Globalization and Growth projects like oneDAO essentially lost funding, which led me to seek funding for these dashboard projects through other means like Gitcoin, but ultimately was unsuccessful. The suspension of the GlobalFOX program also caused a lot of confusion both internally and with our contributors, which led to the v2 program.
