## Honcho v1.0.0 is ready!

We’re excited to share that Plastic Labs has raised a [$5.3 M pre‑seed](https://x.com/plastic_labs/status/1910401372844970387) to solve
personal identity in AI and help developers provide personalized experiences
users will love.

Alongside our raise announcement, we’re excited to be releasing Honcho v1.0.0,
now with hosting support and other major enhancements. We can’t wait to see what
you build with it.
