I am very happy to write this post. I was so in rush these weeks that I could not really stop for a minute and see where <a href="https://utopian.io">Utopian.io</a> is and where <a href="https://utopian.io">Utopian.io</a> is going .

## Almost 1 THOUSAND Contributions
I was preparing myself for the Hackathon presentation and I said, ***"Ok lets see how many contributions we had so far, if it is a good number I could mention it"***...Well in my mind I had 200-400 the maximum. I was totally wrong, this week we will reach **1 THOUSAND** contributions. 

**This is not something you see every day in the Open Source world.**

## Over 1 MILLION Delegation
Well this speaks for itself and **much more is yet to come**.

## Almost 15 THOUSAND Rewards Generated For Authors and Curators

## Our Sponsors Are Already Having Profits
Maybe this is not much for such huge accounts but this is what Utopian did in 4 weeks being promoted only in the Steemit channel. What is gonna happen when I trigger the real thing?

See them all here https://utopian.io/sponsors. You can also become a sponsor if you want by delegating your SP.

## A Small Smart Strong Team Of Moderators
This was hard and we really had hard times moderating the platform and keeping the team strong. We started with 15 moderators. Now we are 6 and they are the most important thing happend in Utopian so far.

#### THANK YOU GUYS https://utopian.io/moderators

## Won The Second Prize in The Hackathon
We got the second prize - 1K Steem for a Chrome extension that will integrate Utopian directly into Github. Stay tuned, will be released next week.

### A special thanks to @nelsonm for helping me out with the UX and UI.

# I Am Going To Personally Invest:

## - 20K EUR on advertisement
## - 10K EUR on a development team (as a start) to collaborate with our Open Source contributors 

My investments will be split during the next few months for a total initial investment of 30K, willing to double this up if the project takes even more traction.
