Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, hackers, judges, mentors, and all those who participated to make @ETH_Toronto & @Futurist_conf an unforgettable experience 💛

ChainSafe couldn't be more proud to help bring a slice of #web3 back home 🍁

#ETHToronto #Futurist22
👇 It was an honour to have VP of Product and Project Mgmt @amer__ameen speak in the opening remarks for #ETHToronto

He spoke on the unrelenting energy that keeps the #web3 space together despite the noise in the markets

It was a swell introduction for the festivities to come!
👇

Thank you to the @0xfilswan team for organizing an outstanding #FilTorontoSummit 🤝

It was a privilege to help represent @Filecoin and @IPFS at an event that brought @Filecoin to the heart of Toronto 💙

(AND brought the ChainSafe fam even closer through shared community 🫂)

We were stoked to have an opportunity to occupy a booth alongside @Seagate and @0xfilswan, and made use of it to engage with the web2 and web3 devs present at the event 🗣️

Takeaway? People want to LEARN! 📚

👇

This past weekend, we had the pleasure of playing a small part in @CoinDesk's #Consensus2022 in Austin and @EthPrague.

Another small opportunity for our team members to connect with our community🥰

Spreading the ChainSafe gwei 💛

A short 🧵 ☝️

It was an honour to speak at both events. Our team is an impassioned group working towards a decentralized web.

It starts at the grassroots level, explaining to our peers the why (@martinmaurerch1), the tools (@nazarhussain), and the things still to improve (@RedoudouM)

✅ @EthereumDenver 🇺🇸
✅ @EFDevconnect 🇳🇱
✅ @blocksplit 🇭🇷
⭕️ ... where next? 👀

Chalk it up for another successful major team outing with ChainSafe @blocksplit ✨ in #Croatia

Bringing #web3 and the full force of the ChainSafe energy to the heart of the Mediterranean 💛

🧵 👆

Last week, our international 🌐 + our Zagreb 🇭🇷 contingent joined forces for an awesome crypto event @blocksplit

... making it our *3rd* major appearance at a #web3 event this year spreading the ChainSafe gwei 💛

Inspired to keep pushing the culture forward 🏃‍♀️

ChainSafe 💛 has had a fulfilling week @EFDevconnect, Amsterdam Blockchain Week, and @ETHGlobal's #ETHAmsterdam.

We feel incredibly humbled to share community with such impassioned and talented humans ♥️ across #web3 ✨

Recap 🧵 ☝️
After the revelry that was @0xliscon and having to witness @EthereumDenver from the sidelines, the Euro chapter of ChainSafe could not WAIT to kickstart AMS.

Above all, TY 🙏 to the @Ethereum Foundation for putting on the INCREDIBLE @EFDevconnect in the unparalleled BvB.

We're simultaneously grateful, humbled, and incredibly inspired after experiencing another ed. of @EthereumDenver

Ty to ALL the wonderful humans that made last week amazing, & a special thank you to the ChainSafers that help keep the mission alive...

Build with ♥️

🧵 ChainSafe has been attending @EthereumDenver since its inception, & it is awe-inspiring to see the event grow to its size & reputation today.

The growth in quality of projects since 2018 is staggering, & is a testament to the interest in our space & the maturing of the tech.

Extending the functionality of @Filecoin within @Polkadot 💥

We’re excited to announce that ChainSafe has been chosen to develop a Filecoin-@substrate_io Bridge as part of our ongoing collaboration with the @FilFoundation.

Details ​​👇 In the future, anyone building on @Polkadot with the need to reference @Filecoin data will use our bridge to verify in @substrate_io that the information from #Filecoin is true.

Hi, it’s ChainSafe 💛

Our Berlin office is officially in-hand and we’re now putting it together!

Our new home in Germany 🇩🇪 is shaping up to be a warm and inviting space. Couches and cuddle puddle bean bagz soon!! 🤗 Our meeting spaces the first few days were a bit... suspect... but we made the most of what we had!

A home isn't a home until you've lived in the barebones version of it to get to know every nook, cranny, and crevice 🥰

Here to expand on deserialization in @rustlang on @MinaProtocol, @WillemOlding1 is dropping another HEATER 🔥 deep-cut coding blog post

If you're an @OCamlLang/#rust dev, you'll appreciate Willem's explanation of our impl of serde-bin-prot.

Read it now: medium.com/chainsafe-syst… Our implementation of serde-bin-prot has added a powerful new tool to our repertoire.

It allows us to iteratively implement new types in a top-down as well as a bottom-up approach, while ensuring we stay consistent w/ @MinaProtocol's reference implementation in OCaml.

What is #Lodestar? 🌟

It is @ChainSafeth's @typescript client implementation of the Eth2 spec.

Only the 2nd most popular & 4th most in-demand language in the world!*

A multi-client @ethereum is a resilient #Ethereum!

1/12

*according to Stack Overflow bit.ly/3vE5AMC From the onset, our intention for #Lodestar was for it to be browser-native *but* also developer-friendly.

So our approach has been two-fold:
∙ Hey, let's build an ecosystem of composable libraries that others can leverage &...
∙ Build it in a lightweight fashion
