Happy New Year, Connextors!
2023 will be an exciting year for us as we have more and more people building on Connext, our ecosystem is growing with many new xApps and we are so close to completing the Amarok launch!
2022 in Connext Ecosystem
This year was very important for Connext Network, packed with landmark developments and accomplishments. Connext Team made significant progress on building the Amarok Upgrade, which is a critical step towards ensuring that everyone has access to building new xApps.
Connext is guided by the same passionate mission since 2017 and we as the Community behind will keep supporting Connext while they introduce new mechanisms to further decentralize, secure and improve the Connext Network.
Let’s take a look at some of the highlights from the year!

Winter is Here: It’s Time to Build
We are in the winter season for a while and now we’re left with long-term builders and true believers who believe in the power of decentralization; Connext is living for it.
This year was a landmark thanks to the Connext Community: Connext Core Team, Contributors of the Contributor Program, Routers, Investors and all the other supporters. We are eternally grateful to our dedicated community members who are the support on the journey of building the best modular interoperability protocol, Connext!
