Sasha Ivanov, founder of the public chain projects Waves and Vires Finance, said on Twitter: “It’s time to clarify some things about the Waves ecosystem and my involvement in it. Waves has become a decentralized ecosystem composed of independent projects with its own roadmap. I am not a beneficiary of any project on Waves, only an advisor to some of them. My only goal and motivation is to make the ecosystem work. That’s why I am also responsible for the problems that affect the entire ecosystem and am committed to solving them.”

Additionally, Ivanov announced that Waves.exchange has effectively been relaunched with a new decentralized bridge on the WX.network domain (already announced last October). The current gateways will continue to operate for the foreseeable future, and their liquidity issues will be resolved in about a month. A new version of the lending protocol will be launched with support for the new bridge, among other major improvements. Vires holders will receive protocol profits as before. The new version is expected around mid-March.

Ivanov also stated: “XTN (formerly USDN) will be maintained and developed. The team and myself will donate ecosystem tokens to increase the treasury value and support the market value of XTN, which will eventually allow to increase the unlocking limit of Vires. This process will start next week. All my ecosystem tokens will be donated to the XTN treasury. I currently do not hold any Waves, or any other cryptocurrency for that matter, except for the XTN assumed from the bad debt of Vires. In addition to taking care of the issues mentioned above, I will also be working on the launch of Waves 2.0, and the new PowerDao governance protocol.”
