Aloha, welcome to Uqbar’s weekly rollup. Every Monday we’ll provide you with exciting updates on everything Uqbar: dev reports, media mentions, and general happenings around the Urbit ecosystem.
Another normal week in crypto! Don’t worry, your friends at Uqbar are completely unaffected by the FTX fallout—we are continuing our development with more optimism and energy than ever (though we’re making ~hodzod-walrus shave his Bankman-fro)
This week’s Network Age features famed Ethereum OG Lane Retting, with whom the boys discuss the development of Ethereum, values-driven technology, and Lane’s long-awaited return to Urbit. The team also examines the risks of Proof-of-Stake and OFAC compliance, Lane's new project Spacemesh, and the global reach of the crypto industry as it enters the Network Age. Don’t miss it.
Scene, the new Urbit desktop from ~tirrel corporation is out for Linux and macOS! Experience a new kind of Urbit by downloading from tirrel.io. You can also go to planet.one for their new hosting service; the site allows you to choose your own planet before you purchase.
