It’s officially fall! New weather, changing leaves, and most importantly, new opportunities. This month we’re taking our newsletter in a different direction. Shorter in form, but just as packed with the updates you’ve come to expect. Let’s kick off with today’s community call! We’re diving deep into our work to harden JS with the MetaMask team (featuring a special guest), hackathons, bounties, and teasing a new program we think the developers in the crowd will love. It’s all in today’s call @ 9 am PT / 16:00 UTC  Why hardened JS? Hardened JavaScript is JavaScript but with all the shared objects frozen so they are tamper-proof and certain powers like access to timers and random number generators removed by default. In Hardened JavaScript, code can be run in separate compartments with the shared objects and any powers granted explicitly. Hardened JavaScript allows multiple programs to cooperate without fear of tampering or interference from each other. Demo: Messari Mainnet Our CEO, Dean Tribble, showcased the true meaning behind Agoric’s Build Fast, Earn Fast approach. The demo highlights our IBC-enabled treasury, AMM, and how developers can build an NFT marketplace dapp in 35 lines of JavaScript! Watch Demo Interview: Women in Tech JAXenter’s diversity series aims to highlight inspirational women in tech. This month they sat down with our own Kate Sills for a Q&A about her work as a lead software engineer on Zoe, Agoric’s smart contract framework.
