  1. cardano-node

    The core component that is used to participate in a Cardano decentralised blockchain.

    I recommend to read the entire thread in the comments on the linked github page. It gives a holistic overview of what the title can never convey. At the end of the day - that's what hard fork combinator is for. Updating any relevant needs of the Cardano community and protocol.

  2. Civic Auth

    Auth in Less Than 5 Minutes. Civic Auth comes with multiple SSO options, optional embedded wallets, and user management — all implemented with just a few lines of code. Start building today.

  3. solidity

    Solidity, the Smart Contract Programming Language

    Solidity looks superficially like an object oriented language. There is a "this" keyword. However there are actually security-critical differences between "this.setX()" and "setX()" that can cause wrong results: https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/issues/583

  4. l2beat

    L2BEAT is an analytics and research website about Ethereum layer two (L2) scaling solutions.

  5. cardano-python

    Python module for handling Cardano cryptocurrency

    Within 6-12 months there will be a solidity side chain (milkomeda), a Python SDK, and a LLVM backend to support all C languages (IELE). It’s been designed this way for a long time to be EVM compatible with a native Plutus language and compatibility with the other 20+ million programmers in the world who don’t program on Solidity or Haskell.

  6. interface

    🎨 The user interface for the Spectrum Finance protocol (by spectrum-finance)
