The #Cortina update is one of the major upgrades to the Avalanche network architecture.
The latest version of Avalanche Go, which is Cortina, is going live on testnet next week.
5/ The update empowers building virtual machines from scratch, building your own runtime, and other unique primitives that haven’t been done in the space up to this point.
HyperSDK is still in development.
6/ Developer relations at @avalancheavax allow for the intersection of internal development and external usage of open-source technology.
7/ Building New Primitives
@avalancheavax is focused on building new primitives rather than recycling content from other chains.
This poses challenges for developers who want to start building virtual machines from the ground up.
8/ Avalanche is committed to making it easy for developers to build their own virtual machine and start building unique primitives.
@avalabsofficial has open roles listed on its website for those interested in working with the team.
9/ Recap Of NFT LA And Insights On The NFT Scene
Regional #NFT communities have different styles and preferences in art and culture.
The community is becoming more focused on building and creating rather than quick financial gains.
10/ Discussion On A Recent Avalanche Go Update And Degraded Performance On Chain:
There was a brief slowdown in the performance around validators due to the Avalanche Go update.
11/ Avalanche is putting together a post-mortem report to explain what happened, including technical details.
An Eth researcher and digital asset portfolio manager walked into a podcast. Epic conversation ensued.
In @vaneck_us recent space,
Pranav Kanade - @pkan90 is joined by
Justin Drake - @drakefjustin to discuss $BTC, recent events, @ethereum Foundation, Shanghai upgrade & more.
1/ Ordinals And Bitcoin
There’s no $BTC bridge from the Bitcoin main chain to the roll-ups.
$BTC isn’t as extendable and usable as a data availability layer compared to @ethereum
When converting $BTC to fiat, you still need to use a CEX.
2/ $BTC’s issuance will eventually go to zero and the blockchain will have to be secured through transaction fees.
If there are no interesting things going on in $BTC, there will be no incentives for miners to be validators.
1/ The discussion centered around the recent SEC decision to enforce rules that don't exist, and their continuous lack of cooperation with @coinbase legal efforts.
2/ Coinbase And The SEC
@coinbase received a Wells notice from regulators, a notice that usually precedes an enforcement action.
Coinbase has proactively engaged with regulators and acquired licenses globally, including a CFTC license and a BitLicense in the US.
In this episode, Jay of @scrt_foundation is joined by Leon of @playBushi to discuss their platform, NFT collection, activities, accessibility and more.
•It is a 3rd person shooter game launching on a platform called Onenet which their team is also building.
•@launchonenet is a desktop application platform that people can essentially manage all their games and they offer infrastructure for game developers to start building their video games.
•Onenet is very close to launching a game come the 31st of this month.
•A roll-up only considers the validity of a bridge contract to a settlement layer and the problem is that this is not the same thing as a light client.
•When running a light client for a roll-up, if the roll-up doesn’t have a Merkle tree of transactions, you can’t actually prove to the light client that your transaction is always included in the block.
