The Encointer team has scaled down significantly after rejected proposals on Polkadot but continues to deliver:
work done:
- Conceptualize a self-sustainable economy which can plausibly be reached within few years.
- integrate encointer runtime into fellowship repository (RFC22)
- stabilize and refactor Encointer mobile app to use PolkaDart
- grow Nyota community in Tanzania
- prepare community in Puerto Madryn, Argentina
- establish an association of acceptance points in Zurich to grow the network and close economic cycles
outlook:
- with a minimal but powerful team we aim to keep the Encointer parachain running and well-maintained
- we aim to focus on supporting and growing the global south communities where our tech promises the biggest impact at low costs

In my opinion, Encointer is exactly the kind of driven, experimental project we need more of in the Kusama ecosystem. I have voted AYE.
update: In order to make the best use of our remaining funds, we have decided to focus on our global south communities (currently in Tanzania and upcoming in Argentina).
Our Pilot community in Zurich will no longer have a budget and a professional support team and we are curious about (self-sustained) grassroots initiatives in Leu now.
Our funds will, therefore, be used to maintain the platform and support emerging communities. Of course, you may also expect a report on the 2 year Leu Zurich pilot experiment.
