+## Highlights
+
+- The oracle mechanism RFC was finalized and presented for review, with initial issues identified for the Logos Blockchain integration ([RFC PR](https://github.com/logos-co/logos-lips/pull/366)).
+- MVP payment protocol streams were finalized on testnet and localnet, covering both the [standalone](https://github.com/logos-co/logos-docs/issues/370) and [Store integration](https://github.com/logos-co/logos-docs/issues/369) journeys.
+- RLN membership allocation was reliably simulated in a mix network against testnet 0.2, validating the protocol ahead of upcoming 0.3 work ([journey](https://github.com/logos-co/logos-docs/issues/381)).
+
+## Create a basic capability discovery module
+
+- [Integrate and dogfood capability discovery in Logos Delivery](https://github.com/logos-co/anoncomms-pm/issues/31)
+  - achieved:
+    - Tested the [doc packet](https://github.com/logos-co/logos-docs/issues/307) for phases D and E, added logs for discovery testing in nim-libp2p, and collaborated with the DST team on testing and debugging
+    - Completed a first draft of the service table bootstrap mechanism
+  - next:
+    - Continue collaboration with DST on discovery testing
+    - Continue work on the service table bootstrap mechanism
+
+## Establish libp2p mixnet
+
+- [Specify and implement extended DoS and exit node abuse protection for libp2p mix](https://github.com/logos-co/anoncomms-pm/issues/40)
+  - achieved:
+    - Traced testnet-0.2 bugs across chat-side receive-reliability and service discovery, explored folding LEZ-RLN gifter work into the chat-mix v0.2 stack, and reviewed the v0.3 roadmap
+    - Completed the testnet doc packet and testnet demo app, with all fixes ready after feedback
+  - next: revisit differentiated rate-limiting with local reputation
+
+## Deliver de-MLS for p2p group messaging
+
+- [Integrate de-MLS into Logos Chat](https://github.com/logos-co/anoncomms-pm/issues/30)
+  - achieved: nearly completed the recovery gap and reviewed the code against the RFC

+
+## Develop service incentivisation
+
+- [Implement MVP payment protocol](https://github.com/logos-co/anoncomms-pm/issues/38)
+  - achieved: finalized payment streams on testnet and localnet for both the [standalone](https://github.com/logos-co/logos-docs/issues/370) and [Store integration](https://github.com/logos-co/logos-docs/issues/369) journeys
+  - next:
+    - Present at Townhall
+    - Address feedback
+
+## Maintain and expand the Zerokit library
+
+- [Rearchitecture Zerokit to support enum-based runtime configuration](https://github.com/logos-co/anoncomms-pm/issues/48)
+  - achieved:
+    - Merged [PR11](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/pull/421) and progressed [PR12](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/pull/423)
+    - Conducted multiple reviews of PR11 and attempted to design the hashing system
+    - Reviewed the RFC and related discussion and the PACT discussion, and started modifying the POC to match the RFC's technical choices
+  - next:
+    - Address PR12 review comments and continue on PR13
+    - Keep reviewing PRs

+
+## Implement RLN membership allocation service
+
+- [Specify and implement RLN membership allocation service](https://github.com/logos-co/anoncomms-pm/issues/17)
+  - achieved: reliably simulated the protocol in a mix network against testnet 0.2, per the [journey](https://github.com/logos-co/logos-docs/issues/381)
+  - next: prepare and begin 0.3 deliverables, likely starting with the RLN membership management module
+
+## Develop a decentralised oracle for LEZ
+
