We (the TRD maintainers) would like to inform the community, especially the bakers, about a new TRD Release v11.0. This release is scheduled in accordance with the TRD grant milestone plan as well as the activation of the Lima protocol. Due to the high relevance of the topic, you can find instructions here about how TRD can be used to send funds to the community-driven donation contracts supporting Ukraine or use it as a template to donate to any other address.
The last official release was in March 2022 with a stable release for the Hangzhou protocol. A release tag for the new consensus algorithm Tenderbake in the Ithaca protocol was postponed until all data provider backends were functional again. It is gratifying that the open-source tool is being further developed by developers all over the world and that the compensation with tez is done via a multi-sig wallet depending on the effort spent. The guidelines for the contribution can of course be used as a blueprint for other Tezos open source projects.
Organizational
The list of maintainers remains unchanged but we had contributions from several individuals like Vladimir and our new StakeNow developer Ryan Vermooten.
Again, we would like to ask that especially larger bakers allocate more resources to TRD. Due to the regular protocol upgrades, TRD must be also continuously adapted and the support of smart contracts is a tricky business to do right. The last milestone of our current grant has passend and the remaining funds in the multi-sig contract will be used for individual contributions. Afterwards the maintainers will apply for a new grant in the same way as before in Q3 2023. Please contact the us via the Baking Slack #trd channel to support us with the proposal.
