Bounty Sheriff Beta Update

Due to commonly known issue with Geth and missing smart contract events we are having to try various alternative methods to find a consistent and stable stream of our events. Which are crucial to the operation of staking mechanism. Due to this fact, while we’re running tests we are keeping the closed beta to a limited number of users for a bit longer than planned. We will give another update on this soon.

Podcast episodes

We recorded two podcast episodes in the past two weeks.

New Interesting Bounty0x content

We published eight articles during the past two weeks.
