Network & Project Updates
The Arweave network has reached the milestone of 8 billion transactions.
Sam Williams participated in The Charlie Shrem Show podcast to discuss the future of the Arweave decentralized network.
Charlie Shrem (founder of Bitcoin Foundation and BitInstant) invited Sam Williams and Jag Singh for a podcast episode.
The Arweave protocol builds a decentralized, censorship-resistant permanent data storage network that ensures long-term preservation of information, promoting a revolutionary open data plane that safeguards freedom of speech in the digital age.
Autonomous Finance released the "Ownable Package" tool for the AO ecosystem.
The "Ownable Package" provides fine-grained control over AO processes, similar to OpenZeppelin’s Ownable module in the EVM.
Autonomous Finance introduced a "Process/Smart Contract Testing Framework" for the AO ecosystem.
This new framework simplifies testing of smart contracts and processes on AO, supporting unit tests, simulation-based tests, and multi-process agent system tests.
The decentralized weather options platform NEO is now live!
NEO is a crypto binary options and binary weather options platform based on the AO computing platform, supporting stablecoin USDA trades with pricing data provided by the 0rbit oracle.
The decentralized weather market places weather data in public hands, reducing risks of data monopoly and misuse, and better addressing global climate challenges.
ArFleet is set to launch: Arweave's temporary data storage feature.
ArFleet will be introduced on August 29, 11:00 PM Beijing time during a community event featuring protocol demonstrations and Q&A sessions.
Registration link: lu.ma/te8lkcud. Register with an Arweave address to receive 3 ArFleet Genesis Passes for testnet access.
Arweave founder Sam Williams was interviewed on Crypto Trader, discussing Arweave technology and its future development.
Sam explained how Arweave and the AO system use decentralized log storage to enable global computation and state transitions, advancing the vision of a world computer.
Despite Arweave’s advanced technology and widespread use in NFT storage, the market has yet to fully grasp its decentralized computing and storage platform, leading to an undervaluation of the AR token.
Arweave has built a comprehensive decentralized internet stack, focusing on permanent storage and supporting decentralized applications, including new projects like ArFleet, expanding its market reach.
TRUNK and Satoshi's Palace are co-hosting a hackathon focused on AO.
Developers and artists are invited to participate, using the power of AO to create innovative projects and win $TRUNK and other cryptocurrency rewards.
The hackathon features two tracks: development, focused on building games with real-money transactions, and art creation, providing visual assets or promotional materials for games.
Permaswap now supports MetaMask connections for trading assets on the AO network.
The AO network is now directly compatible with Ethereum standard 0x address formats.
The fifth Everloot event by everPay concluded successfully, with the winners announced.
A total of 385 users will share 10,000 TAOX, and 100 lucky winners will receive Meka Human atomic assets.
Developer DAO launched the AR.IO network gateway.
The gateway is now live, providing decentralized read/write access to Arweave, ensuring network success and stability.
The AO network's user base continues to grow, approaching the 200,000 mark.

Glacier Chatbot-Bench is a benchmark tool for evaluating large language model (LLM) performance in trustless environments.
PADO co-founder Xiang Xie will speak at the USENIX Security 2024 conference.
The talk, titled "Lightweight Web Data Authentication via Garble-Then-Prove," is a core technology of PADO’s zkAttestation application.
Koii Network reached the milestone of 90,000 nodes.
The growing network enhances Koii's security, empowering developers worldwide.
Weavers announced the winners of the BOUNTY-BOT meme bounty.
Participants created memes using DumDum, LlamaLand, or Beaver.

Sandy from the PermaDAO Development Guild demonstrated the creation and execution process of CU in AO.
WeaveVM unlocks Arweave storage potential through EVM precompilation.
WeaveVM integrates EVM with Arweave’s permanent storage via precompilation, enabling direct read/write access to Arweave data in smart contracts, enhancing contract autonomy and efficiency.
WeaveVM uses Reth as the core codebase, extending the EVM runtime through customized precompilation, allowing flexible adjustments to chain structure and node behavior.
KYVE launched a Public Goods Funding (PGF) program to support blockchain data management.
PGF aims to enhance data reliability and scalability by providing ongoing KYVE data support and tool development funding through collaborative network experiences.

Ecosystem Education
0rbit tweeted "0rbit Network Fees and Payment Methods."
The 0rbit network charges 1 $0RBT Points for processing real-world requests, primarily to prevent network attacks, avoid spam, and compensate node operators.
Currently, $0RBT Points are limited to the AO testnet, have no real value, and can be obtained by joining the Discord community, submitting development proposals, or contacting project leaders.
Outprog tweeted "AO is a New Trust Computing Model Not Limited to Any Specific Field."
AO has potential applications across various industries, including AI, gaming, social, and finance.
AO, based on SCP's trust computing model, represents a comprehensive innovation, challenging traditional investor thinking on product categorization.
