Re: Regular meeting 2025-02-14T08:00:00Z and 100 participants!

Dear all:
I'm very excited to introduce ANP to everyone today!
I’ve organized our presentation PPT, the presentation content, and the
discussion, and published a blog post.
For the discussion content, I’ve provided detailed answers to some of the
questions.
It was great to discuss with everyone, and if you have any questions, feel
free to reach out to me via Discord or email.
