+- Cadence security fix ([disclosure](https://forum.flow.com/t/fixed-vulnerable-accounts-2024-10-01/6604)) and EVM contract fixes deployed.
+- Completed new util command 'checkpoint-collect-stats' that can be used to gain insights about current execution state as well as changes between any two checkpoints.
+- Planing first zero-downtime Cadence fix deployment.

 ### **Cadence and Virtual Machine** \[Jan]
-Cycle Objective(s):
 
-1) Upgrade Mainnet to Crescendo Release with minimal impact on developers, to lower the barrier for cross chain liquidity on Flow
-2) Calibrate Transaction fees so that they accurately reflect resource usage during execution and deploy as part of Crescendo to avoid future disruption.
-3) Analyze execution runtime trends and risks to plan next set of scalability OKRs.
+**Cycle Objectives**
+
+[Cadence Language](https://github.com/onflow/cadence/issues/3623)
 
-* Stretch-goals:
-4) Expand testing capability of storehouse so that we can validate execution correctness and benchmark performance on Mainnet data
-5) Design a new Trie to improve performance of update operation, reduce memory usage and size of proofs and to support more flexible proof queries.
-6) Enable Concurrent Execution on one EN on Mainnet to validate correctness of the implementation (Detect execution forks)
-7) Improve execution performance to mitigate the impact of adding metadata to token standards
