✨ New Year, New EthHub Weekly
Happy New Year everyone and welcome back to the EthHub newsletter (the last one went out a few weeks ago)! I took a break during the holiday period as I was moving into my new place and I assumed that there wouldn’t be many new things to cover over Christmas/New Years. Eric and I will be back for the weekly podcast from next week!
There’s also some changes with the newsletter this year - the ‘News of the Week’ section has been removed as I felt it was redundant and I’ve collapsed the ‘Project Updates’ section into various categories with just links to each update as I felt this was a better way to digest the information.
A couple of weeks ago I was on a Bankless panel with DCInvestor, Cyrus Younessi, David Hoffman and Ryan Sean Adams discussing the bull case for ETH (part 3!) - check that out here.
Finally, the Ethereum.org team is looking for a Product Designer - if that’s something you’re interested in doing then head here to check out the role.
Have a great week everyone!
- Anthony
