Textile and 3box for IPLD Object signing and encryption
IPLD is a knowledge structuring framework utilized in IPFS. Textile and 3Box obtained 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 conserving consumer information sovereign. All work funded by this grant has now been accomplished, together with:
Ethereum builders can already combine JOSE requirements corresponding to JWE and JWS into their IPLD-based dApps, and there is extra to come back! This work is a part of a long run effort to extend information interoperability throughout IPFS/IPLD-based apps and instruments.
For extra, you’ll be able to observe principal investigators carsonfarmer and oed, who proceed to have interaction with the group round this mission; observe Textile on Twitter @textileio, blog.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 staff needed to ensure there was an open source eth2 block explorer from day 1. beaconcha.in has develop into that and way more, with a treasure trove of sources for Ethereum stakers and fans together with:
- Rising eth2 knowledge base
- Extensive number of trackers and visualizations together with charts with information on liveness, participation, whole stake and extra
- Mobile app for monitoring eth2 validators
Sustain with bitfly on Twitter @etherchain_org or Reddit u/etherchain.
However wait, there’s extra!
- Unirep non-public and non-repudiable status system: accomplished sensible contracts, CLI and zk circuits
- MPC Phase 2 UI: accomplished design and specification; developed elements together with server, CLI and browser shopper
Extra to come back subsequent month!
