The 7th month of our GitHub Development Bounty has successfully ended. Thanks to all of the community developers that keep on contributing to the improvement of the ARK codebase! We are also welcoming our newest contributors that started pitching in this October — there were more than 15 community developers contributing to the ARK code.

We at ARK are thrilled with how great and diversified our community is! Developers are increasing both in numbers and talent. We know their great efforts will continue with ever increasing sophistication, and of course, cool new ideas.

Please note, for easier tracking, that PRs count in the month when they get merged, and not when they are submitted. All PRs merged from the 1st of November until 30th of November will count towards November.
