## Voting weight target, Some Updates Here
As stated in previous DUO updates; we have targeted voting weights and have adjusted them to ensure that we maintain healthy mana levels. 

We will have to expand the tiers at the top levels in order to better achieve this goal, these new tiers will be introduced in a month( September 30th), and until then we will be offering discounted DUO to present holders, these will come from the promotion fund( 0.5 million previously part of the founders fund)

### Private sale conditions
This sale is only available to current DUO stakers.
The sale price will be 0.95 hive per DUO.
Limited to a 1000 DUO per staker 
This offer is only available until September 30th when the new staking tiers come into effect. 
The discounted duo can help you move up in our current tiers however any stake beyond the current 1000 DUO top tier will not go into effect until after September 30th.
To participate in this private sale just send the total Hive to @duo-curator with private sale in the memo, the DUO team will dispense the discounted DUO as a stake to the purchases account.

If you have any questions please feel free to address them to @thebighigg, @bulliontools , or @bitcoinman . You can also find us in the HOC Discord chat.
