Hi there, you may have missed the last update from the team regarding the Finnish Goverment collaboration, check it out here, I'm sure as you understand, any pilot/partnership with any government requires every single box to be ticked, and double and treble checked, so these things can take time to come to fruition. However, rest assured that the team is working tirelessly in the background to make this happen, and as soon as there is more information that can be shared, it will be shared.

In case you missed it, the team have now released the app for the following platforms, the latest being the brand new desktop app!

"As for the Essentia blockchain, we have almost passed the development stage, and currently, are running numerous tests on the network. A lot of work has been done and we consider these last touches and tests before the release as arguably the most important stages.

The masternodes shards tests are also up and running — as of now the results are 8000 tps in one shard."
