Highlights in the last development sprint

Referral Program
The new referral dashboard is online now, making it easy for referral partners and their referred traders to know how many referral rewards they earn each week. This also makes it much easier to calculate and distribute rewards, so we can onboard more referral partners! Know an influencer who would like to earn referral rewards? Please put us in touch! 🙏Volume Program Proposal
We just released a proposal for our Volume Program, designed to incentivize teams that have built or want to build on top of Perpetual Protocol to stay and help us grow the ecosystem.Permissionless Market Creation Proposal
Jonathan from Delphi Digital published the proposal for permissionless market creation on our forum! There are two parts of the proposal: check part 1 here and part 2 here.Token Swaps for Ecosystem Partners Completed
As we mentioned in our Ecosystem Fund announcement, we’ve swapped tokens with our partners, now including Charm Finance, dHEDGE, Lemma Finance, Stake DAO, and Teahouse Finance.
To-dos in this development sprint

All of the bugs reported by the Consensys Audit have been crushed and ABDK, the auditor for Uniswap v3, is auditing the code now.
Code refactoring for the clearinghouse is still ongoing and the smart contract team is assisting the frontend and backend team to integrate with the smart contracts.
At the same time, we’re researching designs for liquidity mining for makers.
🛢 Backend
Results Verification
The smart contracts have been deployed on testnet and we’ll verify the on-chain data is the same as our internal simulations in this sprint.Internal Arbitrageur Modification
