Weekly CosmWasm Dev Digest #18 - April 26, 2024
ISSUE #18 - Restake Wars, Security issues, NFT launches and plenty of airdrops!
Hello Cosmos enthusiasts!
Many of you on X have been asking for my tutorials and weekly updates. I was caught into building mode so the newsletter naturally fell behind. However, I still see a massive lack of good technical information on CosmWasm and that motivates me to keep going.
With that said, here’s what have been cooking recently in the cosmos ecosystem:
🚀 Releases
Abstract introduces MyFi: it’s like DeFi except you keep control of your funds. Read more here.
Satoshi’s Willy: Migaloo Foundation launches a rune on Bitcoin, with the idea to become the first rune traded in the Cosmos. More on that here.
Restake Wars: The restake wars have started in the Migaloo ecosystem, enabling $RSTK holders to redirect yield to the asset of their choice.
Mad Scientists NFT: The very first NFTfi collection on Osmosis launched in coordination by Sail DAO, Ark Protocol, Rekt Gang, BackBone Labs, MintLabz, White Whale and Osmosis just to name a few. It has been a massive success, and the collection looks dope. Trade your NFT on Necropolis or Stargaze.
The LAVA token: Lava Network introduced the tokenomics for their LAVA token. Read more here.
Osmosis got a new flashy homepage.
🛡️ Security
CosmWasm security issue: Confio released a security patch to cosmwasm-std involving math. It was rolled out to versions 1.4.4, 1.5.4 and 2.0.2. Migrate your contracts asap.
