The month of February was quite an eventful one, for Cook Finance as well as the blockchain world at large. With the new year in full swing, the Cook team has now switched focus to consolidating on the significant progress it has made in 2021 in terms of new product offerings and enhancement of general user experience.
Having set new key milestones on the roadmap for 2022, in the month of February, the Cook team displayed glimpses of speedy execution, innovation and transformation that the community can expect for the rest of the year. During the month, a total of 10 new proposals were launched on the DAO community along with multiple product updates.
Most notably, the team has accelerated actions on the goals of offering multi-chain solutions to users and index selectors globally. After engaging multiple partners across the Avalanche ecosystem, the COOK team has now turned its sights towards the BNB chain, with new BNB indexes in the works. This will expedite Cook’s vision to integrate most popular chains and improve interoperability.
