# 07/14/2024 Hey everyone! The past two weeks have been packed with intensive concept work on how to best implement our smart contracts. We are evaluating various approaches to optimize user experience, on-chain capabilities, security, and more. Each option comes with its own set of trade-offs, especially when balancing on-chain and off-chain elements. For us, security is the top priority, making it the most critical factor in our decision-making process. Last Friday, Dmitrij and I had the pleasure of being interviewed by the Alephium team. The video is expected to be released in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned! Additionally, we are working on an exciting, yet-to-be-revealed game behind the scenes. I don't want to give away too much just yet... 💣 Stay tuned for more updates! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
