And a congratulations to the Ethereum Foundation for the success of Devcon 4 in Prague. Livestreams of the main stage on Day 1 is available here and of Day 2 available here.
Lots of news from Zooko of ZCash: It has been a huge week for them with the Sapling network upgrade, presentation about privacy at Devcon 4 and the friendly welcome of ZCash by governments, including New York State. Twitter thread located here.
MakerDAO gives us an update about the status of moving multi-collateral DAI onto the mainnet. Security and quality is of utmost importance. Audit is currently underway by Trail of Bits. They also have a cool, new, user-friendly interface to make it even easier for you to open up a collateralized debt position to create DAI tokens!
PIVX has launched their decentralized exchange , the first zero knowledge proof - privacy enabled exchange that does not require KYC/AML. A great experiment to test their Zerocoin protocol and masternode network.
