Pudgy World, an immersive multiplayer digital game, is set to launch in Alpha in Q1 2024. The game is powered by zkSync and aims to bring crypto to the mainstream by making onboarding into Web3 fun and accessible. Pudgy World's foundational technology, zkSync and Ethereum, enable fast speeds and affordability. The game intends to introduce blockchain technology to the next generation of mobile gamers and offer new business models and gaming experiences.

Prominent artist ThankYouX has joined the Libertas Omnibus community, bridging the traditional art world with emerging technology.

Stay tuned for the next major reveal at Art Basel.

LIBERTAS OMNIBUS is collaborating with SummonHQ and G7_DAO for the next phase at Art Basel Miami 2023. Those who are not yet Libertas Omnibus holders will have new chances to join soon.

This week at Devconnect, Clave launched on zkSync Era, showcasing two powerful payment use cases at zkCafé and zkBazaar in Istanbul. Utilizing native account abstraction, Clave offers a frictionless user experience for wallet interactions, with biometric-powered smart wallets. Attendees at Devconnect experienced the power of native account abstraction and received free refreshments and local goods while making crypto payments with Clave. Clave plans to implement additional usability features such as biometric authentication, sponsored transactions, paymasters, and social recovery, as well as introduce session keys, trusted onchain accounts, and daily spending limits for enhanced security.

The EFDevconnect team has visited zkBazaar to experience the magic of account abstraction. Registrations are now closed and items are selling out quickly.

The zkBazaar is now open at St. Regis Istanbul until 7 p.m. Attendees can enjoy AA + free souvenirs. RSVP is required.

Over 50 competitors have received 1.85+ ETH in prizes at EFDevconnect's zkQuest. Participants still have one day left to join and get a chance to win one of five 15-inch MacBook Airs. Contact @albicodes for an invitation.

ZK Stack is a battle-tested framework based on zkSync Era's code that enables builders to create their own ZK-powered hyperchains. It offers full sovereignty and customization options, while ensuring transactions are verified by Ethereum using ZK proofs. ZK Stack is designed for mainstream adoption, providing horizontal scalability, flat fees, privacy by default, and seamless access to users and liquidity. It is built with a long-term vision of Ethereum and aims for subtraction and decentralization.
