# The WASD Weekly: 1/12/24 By [WASD](https://paragraph.com/@wasdmedia) · 2024-01-13 --- **Author:** [**FaultProofBen**](https://twitter.com/BenGiove) Gm, and welcome to The WASD Weekly! The Bitcoin ETF (unsurprisingly) stole much of the headlines and attention this week. However, it was still a big one in the world of onchain gaming. Sky Strife Season 0.1 went live and is now fully open source. Cartridge and Dope Wars proposed teaming up to launch an L3 that will settle to OP Mainnet. Realms thwarted a governance attack, while Baratie launched RedSwap on Redstone to enable users to trade their Orbs and Holesky ETH. As you can see, activity in the ecosystem continues to pick up as we get further into 2024. I think it’s safe to say we are FULLY back from the holidays! Next week is also shaping up to be a big one. Along with the inevitable cool announcements, launches, and playtests, WASD and \[WE\] are hosting the first Words3 Community Round on January 18 at 6:00 pm UTC on Base! ![The tldr on the community rounds.](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/71ee2a12773fb3229972f14ed622cdd054dbd51ab7f8a81a7dd5f289fcc0775a.png) The tldr on the community rounds.
