Wow! This is so good. Barack Obama knows exactly what to say, every damn time.

He taps into the struggle we are experiencing in society & in politics with culture wars, diversity and inclusion and the dangers ahead — unless we find a way to live & let live.

“It’s easier for people to agree on stuff when the majority of people look the same, worship the same way & share the same traditions. It’s harder as societies become more diverse, and everybody is at the table.”

Worth really taking in.

Reduce costs and friction as a game dev when building with Enjin! 🎮🛠️

The Enjin Wallet Daemon is a crucial piece of infrastructure that automatically signs all transactions that a game would process through the Enjin Platform.

This makes it simple for game devs to distribute large amounts of NFTs without needing to manually send them one-by-one ⚡️

It's just easier on Enjin! 💜

At least 3,400 returned Virginians have had their voting rights illegally purged & later reinstated, just days before VA's critical election.

This mistake can't happen again. Virginians should be able to trust their government won't take away their right to vote.

VOTE NOV. 7!

Again Moonbeam Precompiles improve UX, and the Call Permit Precompile enables users to send gasless txns and apps to lower the barrier of entry to Web3 by providing better user experiences.

Here’s how ⤵️

The Call Permit Precompiled contract allows users to sign a permit for any EVM call and be dispatched by anyone or any smart contract. It's similar to the ERC-20 Permit Solidity Interface, except it applies to any EVM call instead of approvals only.

When the call permit is dispatched, it is done so on behalf of the user who signed the permit, and the user or contract that dispatches the permit is responsible for paying transaction fees. As such, the precompile can be used to perform gasless transactions ✔︎

An example: Alice, the user, signs a call permit and an application smart contract dispatches it and performs the call on her behalf. The application pays for the transaction fees and therfore Alice doesn't need to have any of the native currency to pay for the transaction, unless the call includes a transfer.

In this way, app teams are able to subsidize transactions for users and provide a better UX as they see fit.

PRESS RELEASE

**Render Network Completes Successful Upgrade To Solana**

Render Foundation Announces Upgrade Assistant and 1.14M RNDR in Incentives For Holders Bridging Tokens to Solana via Wormhole

GRAND CAYMAN, NOVEMBER 2, 2023 - The Render Foundation announced that the Render Network, the world’s leading decentralized compute network, has successfully upgraded its core infrastructure from Ethereum to Solana. RNDR token holders can now migrate tokens from the Ethereum blockchain to the Solana blockchain using the Upgrade Assistant at https://t.co/WwB9wnGtUT.

To help facilitate a swift and successful upgrade, the Render Foundation has allocated up to 1.14 million RNDR in grants to subsidize user transfer fees on Ethereum associated with the upgrade. The upgrade assistant grant program will be in effect for three months. After three months, holders will have to pay their own gas fees to migrate RNDR tokens to the Solana blockchain. The earliest users that upgrade will be awarded a share of the 1.14M RNDR based on a points system, broken down in cohorts of 40M until 220M.

"Moving Render's core infrastructure to Solana is a watershed moment that unlocks major new capabilities like real-time streaming and dynamic NFTs," said Jules Urbach, the founder and architect of the Render Network. "Solana's incredible transaction speeds, low costs, and commitment to web-scale architecture make it a perfect fit for the Render Network as we continue building a scalable and decentralized metaverse infrastructure."

The Render Network Upgrade Assistant uses Wormhole’s cross-chain messaging protocol to facilitate the transfer of assets between Ethereum and Solana, ensuring a safe and trustless upgrade process. Users connect their Ethereum wallet, select how much RNDR to migrate, and then wait for tokens to be delivered to their Solana wallet.

"We're thrilled to welcome Render to the ecosystem, making it the latest project to fully migrate their network to Solana," said Ryan Shea, Advisor to the Render Foundation. "Solana is the home of DePIN, and Render Network is one of the most important DePIN networks in existence today. Solana will help extend Render Network into new applications, such as machine learning and inference training, and unlock new utility through Solana’s best-in-class technologies like compressed NFTs, on-chain order books, and real-time oracles."

Immediately following the upgrade, the Render Network is scheduled for another upgrade that will introduce Burn-Mint-Equilibrium for the new SPL-based RENDER tokens. The upgrade will also include other features, such as new compute client features. That upgrade is expected to occur in the coming weeks.
