Contributions in progress

Provide links to work you're involved with that is still in progress. This section is optional, and is for your own benefit in keeping track of what you're doing and keeping other contributors up to date with the same.

I'm helping to prepare the Mainnet launch of the Bisq DAO including release preparations for v1.0.0
