Hey everyone!

Welcome to Weekly Update 79. This week we’ll be covering a newly added Raiden org repository, roadmap milestone updates and some things leading up to DappCon. Also don’t forget, if you happen to be a hacker the Grow Ethereum hackathon finishes this week. Let’s dig in!

​

Awesome Raiden

Awesome Raiden is the latest repository added to the Raiden Network GitHub. The goal of this repository is to provide a curated list of resources, links, projects, tools, and hacks on, for and around Raiden. Unlike the Raiden Developer Portal which is mostly oriented towards developers, Awesome Raiden contains interesting information for a broader audience.

The core of the list are resources collected by /u/Mat7ias over the last two years since he started following the project. The repository will be regularly updated as the project and community revolving it progresses. We encourage everyone to check it out and provide feedback if you think something is missing or can be improved, anyone is welcome to submit pull requests to contribute.

​

Development progress

Last week, the development team introduced two new milestones on Raiden’s development roadmap. Alderaan is the first milestone goal development team will work towards while Bespin currently contains only one issue.

As for development progress, the dev team continued with internal testing and addressing the highest priority issues. In the Raiden client repository improvements of the test infrastructure and bug fixes are in the team’s focus. In the Raiden Services repository, devs were dedicated to analyzing and addressing possible exploits, bug fixing, and internal testing.

​

Conclusion

To finish up, the Grow Ethereum online hackathon has been continuing for the last week and a half. It finishes on Thursday so we’ll be able to cover some of the participation next week. That’s it for this Weekly Update, thanks for reading! Don’t forget to leave a comment if you have any questions relating to this update and we’ll get back to you the best we can. See you next week.
