Dear Friend,
Welcome to the newest edition of State Change, the Global Ethereum Developer Newsletter.
We’ve got great stuff for devs of all experience levels. We’ll give you updates, brief takes, and important information that we think you’ll find valuable. Here’s your monthly download.
Before we get into the really juicy stuff, are you going to be at Devcon? Because ConsenSys is absolutely thrilled to sponsor Devcon for its 5th annual gathering. This year we are launching 'Narly Quest' a one-day event-wide game featuring mythical creature NFTs, and have partnered with the Ethereum Foundation on, 'Devcon Park,' an outdoor experience when you need to break away from all the madness. Interested? Learn more about what we have in the works for you all, and to receive daily Devcon wrap reports so you don't miss a thing. Sign up here.
