In network enhancements, we have welcomed NOWNodes (Twitter), and Blast (Announcement) as a new node provider. Furthermore, taetaehoho from 1kxnetwork analyzed the benefits of the Boojum upgrade's larger batch sizes and call-data compressions. Check out this insightful analysis here. Last but not least, in terms of tooling, our DevRel team released the v0.1.0-alpha.12 of the era-test-node (Tweet), and selected RewardMe (GitHub) as the project of the month (Tweet). You can check the submissions in the zkSync Community-Hub (Tweet).

Earlier in September, we started upgrading the block.timestamp (GitHub). This month the upgrade completed (Tweet), and brings increased time precision for smart contracts, consistent information between protocol and RPC, and an improved developer experience.

The DevRel team has been fine-tuning the development experience on zkSync Era. Nik, DevRel at Matter Labs, has successfully deployed numerous upgrades to the in-memory node (GitHub). Additionally, we introduced a new status page on Uptime (Tweet) and initiated the eagerly-anticipated upgrade on the block.timestamp, block.number and blockhash.
