06/14/2022 — We are starting a new series of live sessions called Fireside Chats–delivered by developers to developers, offering a deep dive into the technical aspects of building on Astar and Shiden Networks.

Every session will have two developers of the team to discuss a new topic about building on our networks. By having these regular meetings we can tackle the challenges that arise from continual growth and change–we need updates on the new tools, runtime upgrades, and partnerships that are announced every week. This is a chance to ask technical questions, plus an opportunity to meet and talk in general.
