Now let’s touch some grass. January is in full swing, and builds are heating up. Are you with us?
Another week is coming to an end, and another Cartesi Weekly is coming to your feed 🐧
The PRT Honeypot v2 is preparing to receive a bounty top-up. In the meantime, a new feature has been added to its page: a visualization banner showing when a dispute is ongoing. See it for yourself here: → https://honeypot.cartesi.io/
You can now observe the PRT fraud proof system in action, hard at work protecting the correct outcome. You can also trace the exact transaction that triggered a dispute, or even submit a transaction yourself on the Sepolia testnet to trigger a dispute, thanks to a tool created by the DevAdvocacy team: → merkle.mugen.builders
And speaking of DevAdvocacy, this week its Lead, Joao Garcia, joined Narb on the DevNTell podcast at Developer DAO, breaking down all the tech concepts for the audience. ICYMI, catch the recording here: → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe3Jv9wnkos
And for Portuguese speakers, there’s a treat as well: check out this latest article published on Livecoins, authored by Bruno Maia, exploring the intersection of blockchain and AI: → https://livecoins.com.br/blockchain-e-ia-trazendo-confianca-para-um-ecossistema-fragmentado/
And last but not least, the Holiday Quests are in full swing, rewarding devs and non devs for tech challenges and engagement tasks. Keep an eye on this feed over the coming days as we count down to Christmas with the Penguin Advent Calendar.
Congratulations to the community members Divesh, dejavu, Black Adam, PrinceNonso, and Moonzz for their wins so far. Next chance tomorrow to score a merch pack. Who will be the lucky one?
