Congratulations to everyone who took part.

We’ll see you next time for another Edge lottery! And if you haven’t already got a node online, now is the perfect time to do so. The below guide will walk you through it step by step:

As you may have seen in the ⁠🛠│builds channel on Discord, the website build is coming along. We’ve moved out of the design phase and into the build phase now. We still have work to do but we’re excited. Once we have something to showcase, we’ll post it here first.

We have continued to work on multi-Stargate in testnet, with hardware procured in 5 new locations globally, and we will continue to work on getting testnet to multi-Stargate status ahead of rolling this out to mainnet. We shall of course keep you updated!

This week also saw a few updates to the account system, both in the administration panel behind-the-scenes and to the public account and account api systems:

Account API v1.17.0 was deployed to mainnet. This update introduced some new administrative APIs, plus a fix for server update timestamps.

Account v1.16.5 was also deployed to mainnet. This patch included a client side fix for server update timestamps (so when you view a server, Last Updated correctly shows the last time its details were modified).

There have also been some testnet Stargate deployments, and these will be rolled on on Monday. These pertain to efficiency improvements to metrics (saving bandwidth!)

And that’s all for now!

Congratulations to everyone who won a prize today.

To everyone else, the next draw will be 11 Sept ... and remember, it could be you!

Enjoy your weekends 🍻

Why Decentralization is Essential for DNS Security

Why Decentralization is Essential for DNS Security

The Domain Name System (DNS) has been integral to the functionality of the Internet since its inception. It serves as the Internet's phonebook, translating human-friendly website names into their corresponding IP addresses. Despite its critical role, the DNS has been a frequent target of cyberattacks due to its traditional centralized structure. However, a new wave of decentralization is offering potential solutions to enhance DNS security.

How Decentralization Enhances Cloud Storage Security

How Decentralization Enhances Cloud Storage Security

Cloud storage, with its promise of scalability, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness, has transformed the way individuals and businesses manage data. However, traditional centralized cloud storage models also pose significant security risks, as data concentrated in one location can be an attractive target for cyberattacks. Decentralized cloud storage, in contrast, offers a more secure alternative, mitigating several security concerns associated with the traditional models.
