Dear community members, We are working around the clock to finalize and begin shipping Fx Bloxes. A few updates: Blox Hardware Update Our end-of-Dec. timeline for initial shipments has proven ambitious, but remains within reach for Blox Lite. The maximum anticipated delay for the first batch of Blox XL is two months (end of Feb. 2023) due to AC power certifications. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. We are taking the following measures for XL backers in order to make up for this delay,: 1. While we obtain the necessary certifications, XL backers will receive a Lite delivery plus a 1TB expansion card. This will enable XL backers to join the Canary Net and start using our dApps at the same time as Lite owners. It’s worth mentioning that “XL = Lite + Hub + Expandable Base”. Please note: Lite is NOT an inferior product and is still expandable via its expansion card slots. 2. XL backers who have not received their full order by the end of Q2 2023 and choose to wait will automatically be airdropped $50 value of $FULA as a token of our appreciation. 3. Effective immediately, XL backers are eligible to opt out of their full order and request a refund for the amount of “XL minus Lite minus 1TB Expansion Card.” They will still receive a Lite + 1TB Expansion Card delivery. Please send an email to sales@fx.land if you would like to initiate this process. This option will be available through December 15th, 2022. App Development Update "Fx Fotos" and "Fx Files" are now available to download on Google Play store and App Store. You can download Fx Fotos for Android and iOS here, and Fx File for Android here. Blockchain Development Update The first version of our Canary Net is ready. Polkadot will be the first chain that integrates with the Fula Network. We’ve presented it to Parity and are working with them for a parachain slot next year. Our Canary Net has no remaining processes outstanding and will run on Kusama by the time we start shipping Fx Blox Lite. Read the full update here: bit.ly/fxupdates
