Foundation Updates: March 2024

🚀 Beyond the Launch: Our New Digital Home and More!

Welcome to our March edition of Foundation Updates! This month has been a standout, marked notably by the launch of our new website. Beyond this, we have a host of exciting developments to share. So, let’s catch up and dive into what’s been happening at Foundation HQ. 🫡

This Month at Foundation

Say hello to: Foundation.xyz

As we look back on the month of March, one of the most thrilling updates has been the launch of our new digital home 🏠. Moving beyond our familiar ‘Devices’ identity, we’ve stepped into a broader realm, reflecting our commitment to pioneering freedom tech. This new website isn’t just a change of address; it’s a symbol of our growth and the exciting future that lies ahead.

During our website launch week, we took to social media with a series of exciting events, from Easter egg hunts to special giveaways. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our community for your active participation and valuable feedback.

Our CEO, Zach recently gave us some insight into the website’s design journey. He talked about how the design process was carefully thought out and implemented, providing insights into the creative decisions that shaped our new online home.

Now, let’s see how March treated us in terms of our latest releases. 👇🏻
