EOS Weekly Digest

It’s the last few weeks of spring and there’s a long summer ahead — we can slow our pace and relax before upcoming events. If you still feel nervous after the rapid crypto-upswing the previous week, take a look at how meditative EOS bubbles dance, soothe yourself with a warm drink and come back to us — this week brought a lot of stuff to puzzle out.

Block.one Updates

Block.one rolled out two releases in EOSIO Labs — both making the lives of the EOS developers much easier.

The first one is EOSIO Explorer, a web-based graphical user interface which was implemented to improve the developer experience of interacting with and monitoring EOSIO-based applications and networks in development.
