A 4-way meeting today hosted by the Korean community doesn't appear so far to have broken the deadlock in the current Steem / Tron 'situation'. The top 20 witnesses remain locked in a 9-11 standoff.
But across the rest of the Steem blockchain there is lots going on.
WhereIn has launched a Miniprogram with over 1,000 users already, and SteemPeak has launched a new version with many extra features.
And there is also news and updates about Steem getting listed on the Pionex exchange, SCT extended token swaps, IBT Survival Island, The Man Cave, AltYes, Steem Recovery Accounts, and Operation Asclepius to combat Coronavirus.
