Ariel Gabizon joins Cardinal Cryptography in an advisory capacity
We were thrilled to announce in June that Ariel Gabizon (who has previously been involved with Zcash, Protocol Labs and Aztec Network) had joined Cardinal Cryptography in an advisory position. Ariel’s expertise and experience with ZK-SNARKS has been invaluable for us in creating the theoretical design of Liminal (Aleph Zero’s soon-to-be native multichain privacy layer).
AZERO supply verified on CoinMarketCap!
The Aleph Zero team and community’s ears were blessed midway through July when we all learned that CoinMarketCap had at last verified the supply of the native utility coin, AZERO. The unverified supply was one of the longest running points of constructive criticism from the community, and we are ecstatic that it has finally been resolved.
Tangem Wallet integration: success!
At the very end of April, we announced that the Tangem hardware wallet would be integrated into the Aleph Zero network. After an eventful three months, we are glad to announce that the integration is complete! Thanks to the Tangem wallet team for their work on the integration!
Polkasafe integration
Polkasafe has integrated the Aleph Zero network. This means that ecosystem users can now benefit from an easy to use, non-custodial multisig platform while developers can leverage Polkasafe SDK to use its functionalities in their dApps. Polkasafe has been a recipient of the EFP support.
