April 18: Satin’s post mortem article.

• It is evident that the development of Satin Exchange was not what the team had envisioned it would be. The launch was littered with bugs, errors, and features not working as they should have. In addition, some of the innovations that the team were so excited about never made it into the DEX at all.
• The team has formally decided to restructure, relaunch, and reestablish its positioning as the best ve(3,3) DEX on Polygon going forward. 
• The Polygon community and the Stabl Labs team have asked QiDAO’s own Kila, a notable public figure in the DeFi space, to assist in the restructuring. 
• The Stabl Labs team has also come to an agreement with Thena to “friendly fork”, and collaborate on providing a new, refined product on Polygon. With a friendly fork, Thena will open up their codebase to our new development team — including API and frontend, which is typically unavailable even on open-source platforms. 

March 27: Satin Exchange launches.

• Satin is a ve(3,3) DEX utilizing $CASH, a yield-bearing stable indexcoin.
