+We appreciate the substantial contributions made by Strangelove Ventures and Quasar Finance through their work on the [Async ICQ Module](https://github.com/strangelove-ventures/async-icq) and [Interchain Query Demo](https://github.com/quasar-finance/interchain-query-demo). These resources were of paramount importance in informing the development of our oracle module.
