Starknet’s first community-led assembly was a huge success
Earlier this month, Starknet held its first community-led assembly, thanks to the hard work of @sylvechv from @briqNFT, @dojostarknet and @0xwlGravity from @OnlyDust_xyz.
Spanning four days, the assembly was a huge success. The main emphasis was on fostering collaboration and the progress of the entire ecosystem. We’re more bullish on Starknet’s ecosystem than ever before.Â
You can now natively mint LUSD on Starknet!
Thanks to the amazing work of the Nimbora team, Starknet has become the first layer 2 that can on mint LUSD natively.
This provides users with a lot of benefits, including lower gas costs, and the ability to borrow with no minimum loan size.

Nethermind Internship Testimonies
The Nethermind Internship program is a 1-3 month program aimed at providing interns with valuable, hands-on learning experience in the blockchain space.
