## Sovryn Hosts Open Q&A Session with the Community
Breaking from the usual format of presentations, Community Call #61 was an **open forum** and Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) session. Core contributors from all areas of the project—including development, strategy, and community growth—made themselves available to answer questions directly from Sovryn users and stakeholders.
### Fostering Transparency and Dialogue
The purpose of the open forum was to foster direct communication and transparency. It provided an opportunity for the community to ask unfiltered questions about any aspect of the project and for the team to gain valuable feedback and address common concerns. The format allowed for a dynamic and interactive conversation, covering a wide array of topics.
### Key Topics Discussed
While the questions were wide-ranging, several key themes emerged during the discussion:
* **Feature Timelines:** Users asked for more specific details on the expected launch dates for major upcoming features like the new user interface and Bitocracy 3.0.
* **Tokenomics:** Several questions revolved around the SOV token, including the current staking rewards (APY), plans for future emissions, and ideas for increasing the token’s utility.
* **Security:** Community members asked about the protocol’s ongoing security practices, the bug bounty program, and the safeguards in place to protect user funds.
* **Adoption Strategy:** Questions were raised about the strategy for attracting new users, the plans for marketing, and the progress on integrations with wallets and other dApps.
* **Long-Term Vision:** Contributors shared their thoughts on where they see Sovryn in the next 5-10 years and its potential role in the broader Bitcoin and DeFi ecosystems.
### A Commitment to Community
The open Q&A session reaffirmed Sovryn’s commitment to being a community-centric project. By creating a direct line of communication, the team can ensure they are building in alignment with the needs and desires of their users. The positive reception to the format means that similar open forum sessions will likely become a regular part of the community call schedule, providing a continuous feedback loop between the builders and the users of the protocol.
