0/ Investors breathed easier today as the price of large-cap digital assets like #bitcoin [ $BTC ] and #ether [ $ETH ] managed to hold steady.

Whilst many were glued to the charts, I was trawling through the interwebs for the latest from the world of #crypto. You're welcome 😉

1/ 📣 Fresh from launching v1.1.3 of its #mainnet, @NULSservice [ $NULS ] detailed the design architecture of NULS 2.0 in the below 23-page paper.

Allows #NULS to be more than just the underlying infrastructure of the #blockchain. Many more uses to come! nuls.io/api/v1/downloa…

2/ ⛏️ @UbiqSmart [ $UBQ ] has successfully hard-forked to #Ubqhash.

Having done so, Ubiq is now decoupled from #Ethash and, thus, is no longer vulnerable to rental hash attacks. This marks the first time an #Ethereum fork has forked to a PoW mining algorithm.

3/ ⏸️ "With great disappointment," @AphelionToken [ $APH ] announced its "business decision to disable mainnet trading effective immediately."

The halting of all market pairs on #AphelionDEX follows "a perfect storm of bad news." More details below. medium.com/@ianholtz/aphe…

4/ 🐙 The @MetaMask_io team introduced its Mustekala Light Client.

Allows for as little verification as possible while remaining secure and fully capable of interacting w/ #dApps and using #Ethereum's network. Less reliance on centralized infrastructure! medium.com/metamask/metam…

5/ 📺 @RealSophiaRobot returned to @FallonTonight, belting out a duet with host @JimmyFallon!

Sophia was created by @HansonRobotics, a close partner of the #crypto startup building out the world's decentralized #AI network, @Singularity_NET [ $AGI ].

6/ 🍳 @MaxenceCornet (Writer, @HackerNoon) detailed "one of the worst guerilla web marketing" they've come across in this hilarious, cringe-worthy blog post.

The culprit: newly launched #DEX, @MetaMorphPro. Perhaps get some tips off Maxence next time? hackernoon.com/how-not-to-pro…

7/ 📝 @BittrexExchange's international #crypto trading platform, @BittrexIntl, announced its listing of @IOStoken [ $IOST ].

#Bitcoin [ $BTC ] represents the only available trading pair. The #IOST team revealed it is "now listed on the majority of top exchanges worldwide."

8/ 🔛 Following a six-month-long testing phase, @exploreQuadrant [ $EQUAD ] - a #blockchain-based protocol for mapping data - announced its #mainnet release.

Bringing authenticity and trust to the notoriously murky #data economy! Click below for more. medium.com/quadrantprotoc…

9/ 🏫 The University of Tokyo has begun offering a #blockchain course at its graduate engineering school! Runs until October 2021.

Comes after an ~$800,000 donation from a consortium featuring the #Ethereum Foundation and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.

10/ 🛑 Iconiq Holding, the parent co. of @IconiqLab - self-described as "the world’s first decentralized venture capital group, powered by our token sale accelerator program" - cancelled its $ICNQ token sale on the @GibBlockEx's GBX Grid. medium.com/@Gibraltar.Blo…

11/ 🗺️ Two big announcements out of @LiskHQ [ $LSK ]: [1] a brand new development roadmap, and [2] the launch of the #Lisk Improvement Proposal (LIP) process.

Click below to see co-founders @MaxKordek and Oliver Beddows (@karmacrypto) detail the roadmap!

12/ 🤝 #Ethereum-powered risk-sharing platform @NexusMutual [ $NXM ] partnered with the first automated formal audit platform for smart contracts, @Chain_Security; giving its members preferential access to security services.

13/ 🗳️ Major #crypto exchange @HuobiGlobal opened Phase II of its #HuobiNEXT (formerly HADAX) community voting round.

Six shortlisted projects: @PundiXLabs [ $NPXS ], @AERGO_io [ $ARG ], @CovaToken [ $COVA ], @Eloncity_io [ $ECT ], @Welltrado [ $WTL ] and @Lambdaim [ $LAMB ].

14/ 🇰🇷 Okay, I've seen my fair share of #crypto interviews, so believe me when I say this one by @Nicholas_Merten is a must-listen!

Loved hearing @AlexShin explain the origins of both @Hashed_Official and S.K.'s fervour for #cryptocurrency. Learnt a lot!

15/ 🇳🇿 From insights on one nation's #crypto environment to another, @TheCryptoLark shared an insightful interview with @GarethMP (Green Party MP) on #blockchain-related developments in New Zealand, particularly regarding #energy, voting and agriculture.

16/ 🥝 Staying on N.Z., @TE_FOOD [ $TFD ] signed an MoU w/ export trading co. New Zealand Trade Centre (NZTC).

Will collaborate on, among other things, #blockchain-powered farm-to-table traceability of various fruits exported to Vietnam, China and Taiwan. medium.com/te-food/te-foo…

17/ 🗓️ In more news for #blockchain-based supply-chain tracking, the team at @Origin_Trail [ $TRAC ] revealed that the OriginTrail Vostok Mainnet will launch on Dec. 7th!

In the thorough ann., #OriginTrail also detailed their updated technical roadmap. medium.com/origintrail/or…

18/ 📽️ Closing with a trading-oriented interview, @AlexSaundersAU (Founder & CEO, @NuggetsNewsAU) spoke to @Crypto_Bitlord about his pre-#bitcoin experiences trading stocks and forex.

The two proceeded to make sense of multiple #crypto charts.
