Textile and 3box for IPLD Object signing and encryption
IPLD is an information structuring framework utilized in IPFS. Textile and 3Box acquired a mixed grant, joint funded with Protocol Labs, to create a signing and encryption normal to allow better composability and interoperability between web3 purposes whereas retaining consumer knowledge sovereign. All work funded by this grant has now been accomplished, together with:
Ethereum builders can already combine JOSE requirements comparable 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 knowledge interoperability throughout IPFS/IPLD-based apps and instruments.
For extra, you possibly can observe principal investigators carsonfarmer and oed, who proceed to interact with the group round this challenge; 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 crew needed to verify there was an open source eth2 block explorer from day 1. beaconcha.in has turn into that and far more, with a treasure trove of sources for Ethereum stakers and fans together with:
- Rising eth2 knowledge base
- Broad number of trackers and visualizations together with charts with knowledge on liveness, participation, complete 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 repute system: accomplished good 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!
