November Content
The Evolution of Smart Contracts: What’s Next?
Smart contracts and the underlying technology have been heavily used across different industries, from healthcare to logistics, finance to humanitarian aid. This November, our content team wrote an article on what’s next for smart contracts, and how will tools such as AI and layered solutions be incorporated to enhance this technology’s reach. Read it here.

Blockchain and Cybersecurity: Can Decentralization Solve the Biggest Security Challenges?
Has blockchain come to the cybersecurity industry’s rescue? That’s what we decided to explore in the article “Blockchain and Cybersecurity: Can Decentralization Solve the Biggest Security Challenges?”. We delved into how this technology, when combined with others, is able to provide more security and protection on transactions and other digital tasks. However, we might still be a few steps behind on cybersecurity solutions that are 100% blockchain-based. Check out our article here.

Community Update
In episode 22 of “It’s TEE Time!”, Waldemar Scherer and Sergei Medvedev shared a few updates regarding Incognitee, the TEERdays campaign, and what the tech team has been working on. They also answered some questions from our community. Listen to the full recording here.

Web3 Global AMA
Last month, we participated in yet another talk hosted by Web3 Global, together with other Web3 projects. It was an insightful conversation where matters like the state of the crypto industry, politics, freedom, and democracy intersected. You can listen to the full episode here.
