Last week was extremely exciting for the Umbra team at Breakpoint. Most of us were in Abu Dhabi meeting for the first time after the raise, working together in the same room, and the energy was absolutely electric. We also met a lot of other founders, funds, and partners of interest that can help shape our vision for Umbra and we are excited to double down on these relationships over the next few weeks and months. 

I wanted to take this opportunity to share a few hygiene updates.

Umbra Hub

Feedback & Ideas

We will be making some changes to the way we currently receive, manage and implement product feedback, feature requests, and ideas. We had the opportunity to meet some of our users and holders at BP and each one had extremely interesting insights and we want to streamline this process so we don’t miss anything. Starting now, you can use the feedback form here to share your thoughts about the product with the team. We will scan these responses a couple of times every week. Do add your preferred social handles in case we'd like to reach out to learn more.

Announcements & Updates

We will also be transitioning to a much cleaner and structured setup for announcements and updates. Timelines and expectations of product + feature launches can be extremely messy when there’s multiple different channels for communication (Twitter, team, community groups, etc). We want to merge all of this under one common source of truth. That will be our announcements page right here. Going forward any and all updates will first be published on our website under the Umbra Hub Page. You can subscribe to our updates with your email and receive them in your inbox so you don’t miss out. We will also post these through the team + Umbra handles, so in case you aren’t subscribed, you can always follow us on Twitter to stay updated

Expanding on Ownership

The Ownership Hub is our attempt at implementing a robust transparency framework that will help our holders, partners, and users engage with us in a more meaningful way. This is a work in progress, but expect a dedicated format for quarterly updates on all things Umbra. This will include progress we’ve made on the product, any core metrics we care about and use to measure our growth, as well as any material updates that we can share publicly. A lot of things will change as we continue to make this system better so a year from now it may look entirely different from what we envision today. For now we will run this process for the next two quarters, gather feedback, and iterate. Our goal is to establish a more sustainable and robust standard for transparency (within the constraints we operate under). To be available here for all starting Q1 2026

We are excited about 2026 going into mainnet and can't wait to share everything the team has been busy building
