From exciting new product developments to numerous giveaways, partnerships, and hackathons, January has been a whirlwind of activity for Push and the Push DAO.

Product Updates
We’re kicking off the year with one of the most significant items on our roadmap - completion of the security audit and successful upgradation to smart contracts v1.5. This update breaks ground for the next phase of developments at Push and we are delighted to share all the new functionalities as a result.
With the groundwork for Push Smart Contracts v2 in place, we’re already making strides in its development. Onwards and upwards! 🚀
Besides the upgrade to v1.5, we’ve also had a host of fantastic developments have taken place including:
