Ledger has also completed the open-source code for Ledger Recover on GitHub, marking a significant development in this initiative.
1️⃣ Founded in 2014 under the name AntShares, Neo stands as one of the earliest smart contract platforms. Its origins are traced back to China. Currently, Neo is in the process of developing a sidechain designed to accommodate Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dApps). This development aims to foster interoperability with Neo's N3 mainnet. Anticipated soon is a testnet set to debut by year's end, followed by the official mainnet launch at a later date.
2️⃣ The decentralized exchange (DEX) dYdX announced significant importance. It has officially initiated the open-sourcing of its code, a pivotal step in the exchange's version 4 (v4) upgrade. Additionally, this marks the highly anticipated transition of dYdX from its current status as a layer-2 network on the Ethereum blockchain to becoming an independent blockchain operating within the Cosmos ecosystem.
3️⃣ Nocturne Labs, a crypto startup with the ambitious goal of introducing private accounts to the Ethereum ecosystem, has successfully secured $6 million in seed funding.
