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.

• Director of Technical Outreach ~hocwyn-tipwex and Uqbar developer ~timfyn-ranpyl led a Starkware co-branded workshop last Thursday for the Dartmouth College Blockchain Club. They initiated the aspiring devs into the hallowed mysteries of Starkware’s CAIRO language and gave an introduction the Uqbar’s growing smart contract platform. We heard even Keggy the Keg was in attendance. 

• Catch this week’s episode of The Network Age, where the boys discuss a forthcoming article by Uqbar founder ~timluc-miptev examining the Industry Dollar, which powers the trad economy, and the Block Dollar, which powers the blockchain economy. They explore how the two systems handle marginal costs, equity financing, and lending, as well as what new forms will be enabled by blockchain-empowered content creation and why the IndustryDollar isn't dead. Don’t miss it.

• Holium has announced that Realm, their desktop application suite for Urbit, is taking sign-ups for the alpha version which drops on December 12th. To see their teaser video, go here. To sign up for the alpha, visit their homepage.

• Reserve Protocol has announced a $15k funding boost to the Ethereum wallet bounty.  To tackle the bounty, read about it on the Urbit Foundation grants page.

Another busy week for the Uqbar team—check out some of their accomplishments: 

~hozdozd-walrus:

• Continued development of Uqbar-integrated Urbit gaming operation

• Further testnet improvements

~fabnev-hinmur:

• Worked on front-end UI for testnet and first Uqbar apps

• A deep dive on Replit, which presents a non-crypto focused path for Uqbar’s vision of a collaborative IDE that expands software development access

A few of this week’s best threads from Uqbar founder, @basileSportif

• Basile on how we are just beginning to exploit the internet
