7. Final preparation for Apollo DEX beta launch

Final preparations for the beta release of the Apollo DEX are fully underway. The Apollo development team has announced plans to release the beta version during the week of September 30th. This version will be the first public release of the Apollo DEX with full trading functionality, giving users first-hand access to P2P trading through Atomic Swaps and the ability to shape future changes while improvements continue to be added.
