The project  [PHP Client of Utopian API](https://utopian.io/utopian-io/@justyy/php-client-of-utopian-api) wraps the Utopian APIs and yesterday, the sub class `Moderators` has been added to the project, see [Adding Moderator Class to PHP Client of Utopian API](https://utopian.io/utopian-io/@justyy/adding-moderators-class-to-php-client-of-utopian-api). Today, `Sponsors` have been added to the project so it is now very convenient to know, with a few lines of code, for example, the list of sponsors that are also witnesses or who opt-out receiving steem payout.

### PHP Client of Utopian API
- What is the project about?
The project is to wrap the public utopian APIs in PHP Class. I have seen @emrebeyler 's [contribution on Python client](https://utopian.io/utopian-io/@emrebeyler/python-client-of-utopian-api), so I think it is a good idea to provide a [PHP implementation](https://helloacm.com/adding-sponsors-class-to-php-client-of-utopian-api/).

- Technology Stack
PHP 7.0

- Roadmap
The next release will be adding more unit tests and more other advance API wrappers such as statistics helpers.
