A little more about our planned release date…
This is a snapshot of Zero’s release roadmap. We are using Agile to plan and track the remaining release tasks, so the dates may move a bit as we approach shipment. We will however, keep this page updated with the current state of things as we move through the milestones.
We also encourage you to follow along on Instagram, and join our Discord for regular updates and discussions.
