News What We're Doing About the Constantinople Postponement



The Ethereum Foundation officially announced the postponement of Constantinople this week and we’d like to share our efforts towards a solution. Attending The Ethereum Foundation’s core developers meeting tomorrow, January 18, 2019.

Watching The Ethereum Foundation’s communication channels to make sure we're staying current on the proposed solutions for the security flaw.

Working on a build of Ganache-CLI that implements what we anticipate are the two most likely fixes for the security flaw so that members of the Ethereum Foundation and the wider community can write tests & do live penetration testing.

Releasing a new build of Ganache-CLI that includes these experimental features to the public and will be working closely with the Ethereum Foundation and ChainSecurity going forward.

We are grateful to the the Ethereum Core Developers, the Ethereum Security Community, and ChainSecurity for investigating potential vulnerabilities before moving forward. Truffle v5 Opt-in Analytics



We hope you’re enjoying Truffle v5 so far! To try and obtain more information about how we can improve Truffle, we have added an optional new analytics feature. By default it is turned off but if you enable it, the Truffle developers will receive anonymous information about your version number, the commands you run, and whether commands succeed or fail. To turn this feature on you can run truffle config --enable-analytics If you want to turn the analytics off you can run truffle config --disable-analytics P.S. feel free to go take a peek at the two places in the code where metrics are gathered: when running a command and to report version and errors. If you go ahead and do a good ol' GitHub search for the word analytics you can verify that these are the only places this code gets invoked. 🎉 Events

TruffleCon 2018 Videos are Available Now! We're a couple weeks out from having a Trufflecon 2019 announcement and we can’t wait to share.



Take a taste test by going the Truffle YouTube Channel to check out videos from last year in Portland, OR.





Project Spotlight Each month, we feature a cool project that uses Truffle. And this month, we are featuring our friends over at Loom Network and their new game: Zombie Battleground. Zombie Battleground is a fast-paced, free-to-play trading card game for mobile and desktop. It’s the the world’s first collectible card game to run entirely on the blockchain, with no centralized server anywhere! This cryptographic protection means that you actually own your cards inside and outside of the game, and nobody can take them away from you — not even Loom. So you can buy, sell, or trade directly with other players as you wish.



You’ll be able to earn free cards just by playing Zombie Battleground and winning matches. This includes chances of opening super rare “Limited Edition” cards, which have unique shining and animated appearances, plus a fixed quantity anyone can verify on the blockchain.



The blockchain has also enabled Loom to build the game so that anyone can modify the house rules and create their own custom game modes for all players. That means users will be able to run their own tournaments and even monetize them. Loom Network released Zombie Battleground to the public last month, and it’s available on the App Store and Google Play, with Steam coming soon. Start playing today! Download Zombie Battleground and join the community on Discord. Loom Network is an Ethereum scaling solution focused on highly-scalable online games and social apps. Join hundreds of developers who are already building next-level blockchain apps on Loom sidechains. Learn more about Loom here. What projects are you creating with Truffle?
