I saw the announcement of the stack team about the prizes they won in the Eth SanFrancisco Hackathon and it was very noticeable that Stack has such developers on their team

Really good work on the community engagement and growth. Little updates still for the development, I hope they work under the scenes

I think stack still needs to deliver on the promises and the products that were promised during the ico or may be the project team is intentionally delaying development due to bad market conditions, i know stk is lacking volume and value in the market but that can be improved only by providing real solid products as promised.

Agreed, would be more impressed if your developers were working on delivering a working product that allows people to spend their crypto in retail stores. That is what all the investors put their money in for, not to pay them for burnishing their resume by participating in other peoples hackathons.

The product is not what investors expected and this is why there is lack in volume. I can say that they try hard to reposition their brand in their market.

at least they need to show progress by releasing a feature or allow the app to be tested by the users, this will be a step forward and probably it will increase the volume in exchanges

Bear market doesn't help coins/tokens to increase their volume. due to that drop FUD is so high and everyone is afraid to trade of buy something new. Only experienced traders handle it right now and they mostly trade certain coins.
