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.

• Assembly 2022 continues to be the hottest ticket in Urbitland. Uqbar Director of Technical Outreach ~hocwyn-tipwex will be speaking on the main stage while Lead Developer ~hodzod-walrus will test his chops at the sideshow theater. Don’t miss it!

• Another week, another classic episode of our hit podcast, The Network Age. This week, the Uqbois discuss social graphs, digital cities, the metaverse, and why Porsche SUVs are NGMI. Now, we even have timestamps!

• QRbit by Sortug Development lands on Urbit, bringing a simple QR code login to Mars. This straightforward scanning login will be especially helpful for nascent Urbit hosting companies, as they will no longer need to send +codes to customers after initializing their Urbit IDs. QRbit also comes with proof of ID, so soon you’ll be able to scan right into the VIP lounge at the Assembly Asia offices in Thailand (who knows what other secrets that QR code may unlock?).

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

~hodzod-walrus:

• Completed contract playground interface, awaiting final design

• Successful live testing of moons over Urbit network

• Final upgrades to compiler/standard library prior to launch

~hosted-fornet:

• Completed token faucet for use on testnet

~fabnev-hinmur:

• Finished UI for Uqbar Wallet

Built UI for writing and publishing Gall apps

~timfyn-ranpyl:

• Continued work on data structure jets and jets for atom and bit operations

• This week, we relistened to this classic Bankless episode featuring Josh Rosenthal discussing the parallels between crypto and the American Revolution. Check out the section from 1:19 to 1:29 for a great framework for the Network Age.

• A new substack piece from Uqbar content slave ~bichul-risten explains that the Network Age is coming for you and asks, what will you do when it gets here?

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

• Basile sounds off on the false dichotomy between getting rich in crypto and “making something real”

• A rant on how Stable Diffusion makes an innate argument against long-term centralization
