BLUF: Five major features smoothly activated on mainnet and several of the features assist in legal STO issuance. OKEx, a large Asian exchange is adding RVN trading on Feb 19th. New Ballet Wallet (a Multi-currency Non-electronic Physical Wallet) will be produced for Ravencoin. Algo swap work and research are ongoing.

On Friday, February 7th at 6:15 EST on block 1092672, and just fifteen minutes before the beginning of Satoshi Roundtable, the Phoenix update of Ravencoin went live on mainnet. It took almost a month to activate. It used BIP9 activation which waited until 85% of the mined blocks were using the new software. Then at a boundary where the block height is evenly divisible by 2016, it triggered, and then 2016 blocks later, it activated. The activation went smoothly so Tags, Restricted Assets, Memos, Messaging, Dividends and 32-byte txid compatible meta-data all went live.
