Some stuff I was able to gather in slack about what is happening next....
Note - nothing is set in stone as things change due to community needs and consensus. That's how the Block community works.
So....
1. Apparently the API will be worked on shortly very soon in readyness for the...
2. ...development of the UI which will start in about 7 weeks.
3. Efforts are being made to add Block to AT LEAST one other exchange. YOU CAN VOTE FOR BLOCK HERE TO BE ADDED TO C-CEX:
https://c-cex.com/?id=vote&coin=block
4. A percentage of staking coins will be sent to the Dev fun. % to be determined.
5. The integration of SPV so nobody has to download chains for coins on the decentralized exchange. (not confirmed but looks positive - apparently this work could be done while the UI is being developed at its 2 different people)
6. Various marketing ideas are being discussed and will probably be voted on.
7. LTC testing has started. BitBay will be next with possibly Zcash after that. (not confirmed)
In short...
LOTS GOING ON.

Important thing to keep in mind: "if it supports the same api interface as btc 0.13.2 code base w/ BIP65/cltv then it is trivial to add" - @atcsecure.
Soon there will be A LOT more currencies. #GoodbyePOLO
