Textile and 3box for IPLD Object signing and encryption

Textile and 3Box acquired a mixed grant, joint funded with Protocol Labs, to create a signing and encryption customary to allow larger composability and interoperability between web3 purposes whereas protecting person knowledge sovereign. All work funded by this grant has now been accomplished, together with:
Ethereum builders can already combine JOSE requirements comparable to JWE and JWS into their IPLD-based dApps, and there is extra to return! This work is a part of a long term effort to extend knowledge interoperability throughout IPFS/IPLD-based apps and instruments.
For extra, you’ll be able to observe principal investigators carsonfarmer and oed, who proceed to interact with the group round this challenge; observe Textile on Twitter @textileio, weblog.textile.io or Slack; and 3box on Twitter @3boxdb, medium.com/3box or Discord!
bitfly for beaconcha.in eth2 block explorer
Because the launch of the beacon chain approached, the bitfly group needed to ensure there was an open supply eth2 block explorer from day 1. beaconcha.in has develop into that and far more, with a treasure trove of assets for Ethereum stakers and fans together with:
- Rising eth2 information base
- Huge number of trackers and visualizations together with charts with knowledge on liveness, participation, whole stake and extra
- Cellular app for monitoring eth2 validators
Sustain with bitfly on Twitter @etherchain_org or Reddit u/etherchain.
However wait, there’s extra!
- Unirep personal and non-repudiable popularity system: accomplished good contracts, CLI and zk circuits
- MPC Part 2 UI: accomplished design and specification; developed parts together with server, CLI and browser consumer
Extra to return subsequent month!
