Dear Paimon Devs, We, the Paimon community, began our incubation journey on March 12, 2023. Since then, with the continuous efforts of you all, our community has steadily developed and gradually matured, approaching the graduation criteria [1]. Therefore, I'd like to call a discussion to graduate Paimon as TLP. Below are some statistics I collected, please check it and let me know your thoughts.
