Why are American taxpayer dollars being spent to maintain empty buildings?
The U.S. Government recently approved the following grants:

Over the past 3 months. Tempest has undergone an intensive audit process for all of its contracts. We have partnered with 3 of the leading audit firms
1. @Quantstamp
2. @RenascenceLabs
3. @Omniscia_sec
Each of these firms performed an in-depth analysis of the codebase and were an essential component of our commitment to security and robustness.
Excited for the official launch of @tempest_fi. The first liquidity management protocol built on top of Ambient.
Tempest's AI optimized vaults give users a one-click, streamlined and performant way to farm Ambient liquidity pools for yield and incentives. Give it a try today!
Anybody know when XRP hooks are expected to go live on mainnet?
I’ve been down the XRP rabbit hole, and think actually ZK rollups are fully possible when the network turns on hooks.
We made a dex. You should check it out.
Ambient is the first and original singleton AMM with hooks, flash accounting, and limit orders. Live on mainnet and ready to use now.
Also we're fully and totally open source. Always will be.

"The objective here, obviously, is to reform the DOJ and the FBI and get it back to its mission of going after CRIMINALS," says Rep. @lawler4ny.
