GM! Buidlers
This edition of Hashingbit brings you some important updates about web3. The SEC has given the green light to 8 Ethereum ETFs, including ones from big players like BlackRock and Fidelity. This shows that big institutions are starting to get more involved in cryptocurrencies. There’s also news about an upgrade called Pectra (a mix of Prague and Electra) coming later in 2024, which will bring some improvements to the network. WitnessChain is doing some cool stuff by building a DePIN Coordination Layer with Polygon CDK. This will make it easier for people to join DePIN and for developers to create new apps. There are also updates on zksync, Polygon, Berachain, and Fantom, showing progress in these platforms. If you’re interested in tokenizing real-world assets, there’s a new tutorial available. A recent hack on Gala Games resulted in a whopping $219 million loss, showing that we still need to be careful. Also we are announcing Season 1 of the QuillAudits Points Program! Get a chance to win a share of 50 million QuillAudits Points for $QUILL token airdrop.
