Recent News
The Monero general fund received an anonymous donation of 1020 XMR on the Moneroversary (Monero’s birthday, April 18th).
Monero’s CCS-funded atomic swaps project, Farcaster, has released their April report.
Monero contributor John Foss has a Monero newsletter of his own. This newsletters differs from the Revuo in a few ways. Namely covers more content (such as popular memes and images), and is on Medium. If you want a less news-focused and more community-centered look at Monero (though they do have news) then check them out.
Haveno, the Bisq fork that has Monero as a base currency, now has two sponsors, Samourai Wallet and Cake Wallet.
Kraken now allows for small XMR purchases via ACH so users don’t have to wait several days for a wire transfer to go through.

CCS Proposals Need Funding
None. All funded. :) But keep a look out for proposals in the future, or donate to the General Fund (donation address at the bottom of the Revuo).
