As this development is very interesting, I think for many: Is there any plan of regular updates and a feedback loop with the community, apart of the forum, ofc?

A lot of progress on hyperchains has been made in recent weeks, but the real sprint is just beginning.

The tasks of the early phases of the sprint, for example setting up testing environments, will likely not be so interesting. The forum is the primary way of communicating and early sprint work on hyperchains will be posted as part of the regular updates from the core team.

As the hyperchains team approaches more significant milestones, those achievements will be communicated separately.
