Still no decision either way. Nothing. any news on when?
why is the WL so big?? is it safe to assume there will be no movement?
The $900 deposit is insane; AU is one of my top choices but 24h to drop nearly a band also leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Yield protect go crazy

I dont plan on depositing so hopefully my spot goes to someone who wants it! good luck guys!
