We’ve concluded another month, so that means it’s time to pause and take a moment to look back and recap what’s been happening in the world of Autonolas. There's a lot to cover, so let's get right to it!

New: Community Showcase

We’re also trialing a new way for you to share your ideas, passions and projects with us and the Autonolas community: the Community Showcase project is a weekly chance for you to share what you’re interested in. We hope this will be a fun way to learn more about you and an opportunity for members to connect with each other.

Stop by the first session this Thursday!

New: Alter Orbis Weekly Sessions

We’re restarting exploration of Alter Orbis with a weekly creative session held in the Discord. We’d love to have you drop by and contribute your ideas, feedback or skills towards our companion lore! The event is every Thursday at 14:00 CET.

Community Leaderboard Updates

This month we made some big changes to our Community Leaderboard - you're now earning even more points:

Another Community Leaderboard! This week you'll notice a 100x modifier on the totals, because if points are good more points are even better, right?

Twitter Spaces

We’ve continued our Twitter Spaces series recently, and one very interesting conversation was between Oaksprout and community member Asfi. You can check out the recording on Twitter, or for a permanent link, the #media channel in our Discord.

We’ve been threadingggg

Recently we’ve gone deep on these threads that present and compare data from around the crypto ecosystem. Here’s a few of our favorites from the previous month:

This thread examines index-type products in crypto: what’s out there already, and how is it performing, particulary in comparison to the TradFi market? We're very interested in this area, so we'll be keeping a close eye on it.

In these threads, we took a look at the burgeoning zkSync and Starknet ecosystems: check them both out and let us know what you think!

The zkSync thread is here here and the Starknet thread is here.

Do you have an idea for what we can explore in a future thread, or would you like to contribute your own? Get in touch!

Speaking of Starknet, this year we had some Valorians in attendance, and those of you lucky enough to be in Lisbon were able to catch our co-founder and Chief Research Officer David Galindo’s talk!
