1.53 is ready and will be released this week. It contains significant improvements in bootstrapping and networking layer efficiency.

Initial wallet prototype is ready, code is under review.

Maybe we will rollout new testnets, say, bi-weekly, as it is hard to manage a huge codebase update properly. So, instead of a single enormous Testnet2 release, we'll roll-out  few updates (fee model, system reconfiguration, PoW finalization).

On EFYT <-> ERGO exchange:

1. Before the mainnet launch, we'll send EFYTD (EFYT alternative for data chain).
2. Waves <-> Ergo gateway will exist. Thus Ergo token will exist on top of Waves as well.
3. With money got via founders rewards, the Foundation will create orders on Waves exchange, to buy EFYT for ERGO, the price is 1.00
