+## High-level summary
+
+This week, the Hydra team conducted the monthly review meeting for Agust,which
+continously ensures transparent communication and project evaluation.
+
+In terms of community engagement, the Hydra team gave a Hydra master-class at
+RareEvo workshop as an educational initiative for the community.
+Additionally, the team updated the Hydra demo and tutorial to include Mithril
+and latest release changes.
+
+They also focused on exploring the Hydra network resiliance in order to improve
+`hydra-node` availability, as it becomes stuck very easily and that leads to a
+bad user experience.
