Thanks to the successful network upgrade we can continue developing and testing required updates for our Decentralized Asset and Exchange platform Kekdaq.com.
It was originally released as an alpha in July 2017 and was taken down temporarily to resolve scaling issues and reliability problems.
We do not have a specific target release date for the beta version at this time but it shouldn't be too long and we will keep the community updated on our progress.
As well as releasing Kekdaq.com we will be restarting the original burn rate and scale.
After community testing of the Kekdaq beta release, we will be restarting the original burn rate and scale for the full release allowing MEME/PEPE to be burned for KDAQ tokens, starting at a 1 MEME for 60 KDAQ ratio and reducing to a 1:1 ratio at the end of the burn period, for 6 months.
