for the job budget which now appears in the action log. Implemented logging and error reporting. Not part of the original sprint plan, we prioritised the development of this infrastructure to prevent scaling problems and alert us to issues in real time.

Notably, we released the first hedged-escrow for crypto assets. This is a significant technical milestone and is fundamental to CanYa’s adoption.

The trustless hedged escrow ensures that when a user books a service, its value will remain static independent of any $CAN token price volatility.
