Additionally, we announced that Satoshi’s Treasure second ever hunt will be a Tezos hunt where people can solve difficult puzzles to receive tez (XTZ) from a prize pool of 1 million tez.

This week, the Exploration Vote Period quorum was reached on the proposed Babylon 2.0 amendment, which means that the proposal will now move into the Testing Period. If approved by Tezos stakeholders in the Promotion Vote Period (which follows the Testing Period), it will be the second upgrade and instance of self-amendment of Tezos in a six month timeframe. No other blockchain community has shown the ability to coordinate and execute core protocol upgrades with this type of cadence, further supporting Tezos as a smart contracts platform that has the ability to efficiently evolve. In addition to the progress of Babylon 2.0, the community will now have access to a discussion forum and governance explorer designed to complement the on-chain amendment process with the launch of Tezos Agora, a project of Tezos Commons and TQ Tezos. Lastly, we were also excited to see that 47 (out of 120) developers graduated with distinction from Tezos Korea’s blockchain camp in Busan, South Korea.

Personally, I cannot wait to see what the next week has in store. Happy Labor Day to those in the US!

Best regards,

Ryan
