Key Takeaways
- The Halborn audit has been extended to nine weeks (originally estimated at 5.5 weeks) for formal verification pushing the Autopilot launch to be scheduled for the end of October or early November.
- The critical path to launch includes the Sherlock audit concluding on Aug. 28, followed by a week for a competition judging review.
- Testnet deployment of contracts and UI is currently in progress, with an official announcement to follow on the launch of a public testnet.
- Due to Curve's recent exposure to a Vyper vulnerability, liquidity was pulled from Curve pools. No funds were affected; however, accTOKE yield was affected. An APR increase is anticipated as assets are redeployed and rebalanced upon the launch of v2.
- accTOKE will continue to be the primary method for sharing revenue, but this may change as a new model is developed.

accTOKE Rewards Notice: As previously announced Tokemak, out of an abundance of caution, recalled its stable pool deployments from Curve which impacted accTOKE staking rewards for this past Cycle.
In August, the team made substantial strides in both front and backend development. The V2 user interface was refined, and functionalities like allowances and supplying to Liquidity Management Pools (LMPs) were integrated. Security audits are still ongoing, and user interviews and testing have commenced. Backend efforts included defining subgraph data, V2 tests, and test automation, along with L2 Chainlink research.
Further development featured the implementation of V2 TVL and vaults, testnet setup, strategy contract development, and Chainlink integration on Layer 2. Financial analysis and testing included LP token pricing and thorough audits. Strategy and Communications entailed comprehensive V2 documentation in GitBook format, setting the stage for testnet deployment.
General Update for All Pilots
