Join us for the first Community Office Hours on Discord! 🗓️ Aug 31, 9am PT / 12pm ET / 16h UTC You asked for a forum to ask questions and share ideas – we're excited to make it happen! Come and chat with members of the OpCo & other Agoric contributors. https://t.co/ULdtaxqO7d

📣 New Bounty Alert The Agoric VM needs a premium chain explorer for our Hardened JavaScript smart contracts. Desired features: 🟥 Show basic transactions (Cosmos + native) 🟥 View & interact with contracts 🟥 List assets including ERTP Apply today 👇 https://t.co/tMB12bPBw8

🎙️Pop-Up Space🎙️ 12 hours from now at 11AM EST/3PM UTC Tune in to hear us and the @SkipProtocol team talk about the upcoming Cosmos Snap for MetaMask, and what this means for both #Ethereum and #Cosmos users👀 🦊x⚛️

For those unfamiliar, @agoric offers have a GIVE and a WANT The underlying architecture (Zoe) ensures that the assets you GIVE aren't taken unless you receive the assets you WANT in return Contract bugs or maliciousness can't circumvent this

Great to see @keplrwallet incorporate Agoric offer safety in their new transaction UI! Improved legibility between 'Give' and 'Wants' means less confusion, resulting in fewer mistakes.

If you're familiar with JavaScript development tools such as node, yarn, and git, you’re closer to writing smart contracts than you think 👀 See how by installing the Agoric SDK with 10 lines of code! https://t.co/gBYY8Nkjfl

Where can you find and use $IST today? ◾ @Agoric ◾ @osmosiszone ◾ @Shade_Protocol ◾ @CrescentHub ◾ @Umee_CrossChain ◾ @CALC_Finance ◾ @OmniFlixNetwork ◾ @Stablecoinswtf We're only getting started 🔥

Greetings BLD Community! To foster better transparency and keep you up to date on our progress, we're introducing monthly roadmap summaries. These overviews will spotlight key achievements and give you a heads-up on our future plans. June Our Mainnet-1B upgrade was successful, bringing a plethora of key platform features that will see Agoric move toward becoming a general purpose smart contract platform 🔗 https://agoric.com/blog/announcements/mainnet-1b-a-leap-forward-for-the-agoric-javascript-platform Inter Protocol launched their Vaults application, enabling users to mint the IST stable token with ATOM 🔗 https://inter.trade/vaults July Our community components library went live, enabling developers to build their applications with open source plug-n-play contracts 🔗 https://components.agoric.com Dean Tribble’s talk at Nebular conference dove into the power of programmable contracts, which Agoric is uniquely positioned to offer with our JavaScript smart contracts. See how async programming pushes the web3 envelope with use cases across Akash, Osmosis, and Calypso. 🔗 https://youtu.be/3Nj-fT5U11E Agoric’s July community call covered a handful of important development milestones and what’s coming next across the Agoric ecosystem! 🔗 https://youtu.be/uGPuUCTmQ-U Agoric OpCo Delegation Program applications are closed and reviews completed. Next step is to begin coordination to distribute delegations to eligible validators. 🔗https://community.agoric.com/t/agoric-opco-2023-delegation-program-application/ For what’s coming next, please check our roadmap: https://agoric.com/roadmap

Introducing our new components library 📚 A growing collection of community-built smart contracts spanning NFTs, DeFi, governance, and cross-chain implementations. They're reusable, open source, and all in #JavaScript! Which component will you choose? https://t.co/Yp3irYzwQF

A quick but important update: Inter Protocol Vaults just went live this morning (https://twitter.com/inter_protocol/status/1674027105858797571). We have had our heads down on finishing mainnet MN-1 and Vaults for a while, so these are major milestones for the platform! With MN-1 complete, Agoric now focuses on the general purpose platform (starting the Mainnet 2 phase). The projects Choco mentioned above have been building on and helping shape the platform and APIs. They are pretty fundamental to key use cases (e.g., see https://twitter.com/kryha_io/status/1673618644280934401). Other projects will be shared as they get farther along.
