Some highlights from the team:

A few team members headed to Prague a few days prior to Devcon 4. They were at the Status hackathon that took place on 26–28 October 2018 where they provided an overview of Plasma, Plasma MVP and Plasma Cash. This was briefly mentioned in October community update here.

The team also attended the Layer 2 Scalability meetup where various projects discussed the different scalability approaches per use case (e.g., Plasma, payment channels), the differences between ‘Plasma Flavors’ as well as the need for more collaborative research across projects.

With Hoard, the team shared the first live proof of concept (PoC) built on OmiseGO’s internal OMG testnet at Devcon 4, a game demo called Plasma Dog.

On the last day of Devcon 4, Kelvin and David gave talks on “The State of Plasma”, taking the audience on a journey; traveling back to the past, coming to the present and looking to the future of plasma. If you’ve never heard of plasma, check LearnPlasma.

State of the OMG Ecosystem. In this blog post, the team attempts to summarize the different elements of OmiseGO and the OMG ecosystem, captures key developments over the past months and provides some information on where they’re going . It might seem like a repeat of the Official Guide, but this is more succinct and offers updates. Additionally, they included an updated roadmap with key milestones. And they’ve been working with community members as well on the OMG project tracker to track progress on a smaller timescale.

Rumors

Security Awareness for OMG Token Holders.

According to the official twitter of OmiseGo, it has took down team page from its website. This was done due to staff safety and security concerns. It will be back up when the time is right and with new faces:
