🏃Novice Web3 Developers Fled Amid Bear Market
Together with
GM Defiers!
We kick off with a sobering report from Electric Capital that indicates a 22% drop in the number of active crypto developers since last year's all-time high. But it's not all doom and gloom - the report also reveals a resilient web3 ecosystem with developer activity still higher than pre-peak levels.
Next, we delve into the security realm as Ethereum developers propose a new token standard, ERC-7281, aimed at safeguarding token issuers against cross-chain bridge exploits, following a series of high-profile hacks.
Meanwhile, CoW Swap is making strides towards enhancing the DeFi user experience with its new feature, Hooks, that allows users to chain multiple actions and save on transaction fees. Finally, a security engineer faces criminal charges in New York over a $9M crypto heist.
