# Say hello 2023

Dear Foodcourt community,

We hope this message finds you in good health and spirits. It's been some time since our last update, and we wanted to reach out to you and share some important news.

Since last year, we have been approached by several new chains who have requested that we deploy our yield farming protocol on their platform. They have offered support in the form of grants or other incentives, and while we are considering all opportunities, there are many factors to consider, including operational costs and expenses.

We have received feedback from our community regarding the use of our reserve fund and we would like to take this opportunity to clarify the situation. From day one, our platform has had many expenses to manage, including but not limited to DDoS protection, infrastructure, and full node costs. These expenses, alongside development costs, have to be taken into account when making decisions about the use of our reserve fund.

Furthermore, we have set aside a budget to ensure that in the future, our source code will be open-source, allowing anyone to run our website on their own computer and make swaps directly through smart contracts.

While we have the right to use our reserved fund, we understand that some of you may have concerns about how it is being used. We would like to apologize if you feel that we have misused the fund. Our aim is to use the fund in the best interest of our platform and its users.

Best regards,

The Foodcourt Team
