As the week ends, let's take a moment to look back at what we've achieved in the past few days and see what we've got to look forward to in the week to come.

Fallback Messaging Network 🔐

To improve network reliability, we are integrating the Simplex network as a fallback for our current SMSG messaging system. This will mitigate potential service disruptions if SMSG becomes overloaded or fails, particularly during periods of high BasicSwap usage.

While our long-term plan is to achieve improved scalability with SMSG 2.0 later this year, adding Simplex now provides an essential short-term safeguard, ensuring stability while we develop the more robust, permanent solution.

As always, we thank you immensely for your passion and dedication to Particl and what it's working towards achieving. None of it would be possible without you all!

We wish you a great weekend we'll see you all back on Monday! 👋
