The problem is all the Counterparty development was from volunteers and the main developer sadly passed away a few years ago.
Wonder who you're talking about as Adam K. was last online on this forum on Sept 21st.
Passing of Core Developer John Villar
It is our unfortunate duty to inform the community of the passing of one of our developers on March 8th of this year. John Villar was a friendly, insightful and kind hearted integral member of the Counterparty development team and the wider crypto community. In his wake the community came together to raise funds for his family for their unforeseen expenses. A commemorative token was created and set up in a dispenser (xchain.io/tx/1551579) with all sales being forwarded periodically to the family. John was known for not only most of the recent Counterparty protocol improvements (CIPs) but also for developing the RarePepeParty game with his company in Venezuela. A burn address has been created as a shrine to John and if users would like to send him tokens of appreciation, they can do so at : 1JohnViLLARchiguireitorxxxxwhsz7P
Not the only dev but he was the main one whose name i notced the most with the updates and they had 163 commits since 2015 (

He was also the dev of the UniversalMolecule [UMO] Blake256 altcoin:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702519.0Its nice to learn that there is a still a few devs spending some time on it, perhaps the collapse of FTX will be a drawcard again for XCP and its development as it was in the past after Gox. Must be more than a few who would like to see a bitcoin based alternative to the DEXs on other blockchains like Ethereum which are insecure and constantly in the news about being hacked and drained.
