GM!
Welcome to this week's Arweave Weekly Digest.
Lots happening over the last week - 10 billion transactions on mainnet, Keystone Wallet now supports DumDum NFTs, and oh - we only launched a hackathon with up to $50K in funding for the winners. ๐
Let's get into it.
๐ ๏ธ Take Part in the Fullstack Hack
Last week we announced the Fullstack Hackathon - focused on using Arweave and AO (and/or ArFleet) to build decentralized applications. Get the details here.
This hackathon is open to everyone - builders, designers, marketers, you name it - form a team, and build something for the long-term.
Winners can earn up to $50K in funding, and there's a referral system built on AO computer too. There's up to $5,000 USD total rewards for referrers. Become a referrer here.
Sign up here and join our Discord for more information on how to get started.
๐ Arweave transactions hit the big 10 billion
10 billion transactions stored on Arweave. What an insane number.
As Sam Williams, founder of Arweave pointed out, it took over 5 years to go from 0 to 1 billion transactions. From 1 billion to 10 billion, it took less than a year and a half.
This is likely in part due to AO Computer, a decentralized compute network built on top of Arweave which launched this February.
It looks like Arweave usage is on the rise, which is a positive for the ecosystem. NFA.
๐ Keystone Wallet gets DumDum Support
Keystone Wallet, a hardware wallet which integrates with ArConnect, has announced support for DumDumz NFTs.
This is a great step forward as digital assets (or rather, atomic assets) play a big part on Arweave and AO on Bazar's marketplace. Further support for atomic assets in hardware wallets means a new way to secure them rather than traditional wallets.
