The Waves team is currently tightly lipped about the current state of the development. They are not giving out any promises. I like this attitude. Better not to promise anything and overdeliver then promise too much and disappoint.
Yes. Just like what happened to RISE. They've been promising about how great their platform will be and that its better than Lisk base on the gren checks they've made and the roadmap they presented. up to these days, they never really have provide anything worth mentioning.
