Greetings, Ethereans! It is time for our biweekly summary of all things from the Ethereum ecosystem!
The biggest event from these two weeks was the launch of Altona multiclient testnet about a week ago on Monday, June 29th, with Lighthouse, Nimbus, Prysmatic and Teku clients stable. Read biweekly update from the Prysmatic Labs team discussing the launch, the usual development updates, upcoming work and more. Moreover, Afri put together a report detailing how three Eth2 clients handled working together on the Witti multi-client testnet. Take a minute to check it out!
These weeks, we had All Core Dev and EIP-1559 Implementers calls. Hardly surprising, EIP-1559, one of the most highly anticipated upgrades for the Ethereum network which has been talked about for quite a while, was on fire these days.

Matcha, a simple decentralized crypto exchange that pulls together liquidity from various on-chain liquidity pools (DEXs, AMMs) to fetch the best price for users, is now live.

After over 2 and a half years of work, the SKALE network, smart contracts and an initial set of nodes are up and running. It’s now easier to host on IPFS the latest Uniswap frontend.
