In case you missed it

  • New Chain Signatures Interface There is a new interface for producing chain signatures. Note that the key derivation function has also switched from sha2 to sha3. Check out this working example for Ethereum. Currently, to get signatures you should use v1.signer-dev.testnet. Once stable this will be deployed to v2.multichain-mpc.testnet. v5.multichain-mpc-dev.testnet will host the most recent commits (not stable).

  • New Wallet Selector Release: The NEAR Wallet Selector has just had a new release that includes support for Ethereum wallets. Check out all the updates in the release notes 👉 LINK

  • Decentralized Indexer Network: NEAT has partnered with The Graph to build a Decentralized Indexer Network for AI on NEAR 👉 LINK
