😴 A Rather Quiet Week

Well after the madness of the Terra collapse that we went through a little over a week ago, the past few days have been relatively quiet. Though while the markets are dead silent, building has continued and there is a host of updates this week - as is usual for the Ethereum ecosystem of course!

Have a great week everyone!
- Anthony
