- Technical tutorial for @CosmWasm devs. CronCat brings automation to smart contracts on any CosmWasm chain, unlocking limitless possibilities. Check out this easy demo where we toggle between a cartoon day 🌞 and night 🌛, with automation changing state.
- today's presentation by @stablechen, he built a @CosmWasm smart contract, uploaded the debug binary to CW Simulate (cwsimulate.terran.one) Ran a command in the UI, and was able to have breakpoints and frickin' step debug the smart contract execution. are you kidding me 🤯

- The EVM is live on @NEARProtocol's betanet. Here are 3 beginner-friendly videos to help developers dive in. I'm taking the approach of using a custom provider: NEAR Web3 Provider. (Note that this isn't the only way to interact. More in thread.) Simplest:
- A couple years ago my buddy Trevor started a blockchain meetup in Portland, OR that hooked me. I wrote my first Solidity app, then gave a talk on Basic Attention Token. Then got a job at @NEARProtocol. Last night was the first "NEARs && Beers" and he showed us his stealth project
