| Hey.
Welcome to another (bi-weekly) edition of Loom Updates!
I am your pilot... but since I can't fly anything, I am just going to tell you about the latest updates from the last 2 weeks 😎
First up... 1. First 4 external validators on PlasmaChain testnet are here! 
This is a HUGE deal.
Because validators hold a TON of responsibility in making sure the network is secure and performs well.
In fact, we are looking to onboard even more validators starting early next year.
💡 By the way, if you are going to be in Bangkok, Thailand on December 7th — we are hosting a meetup with bitfish (one of our first validators) about DPOS & Plasma.
If you are curious about why this is all a big deal, you should...

2. Another Fantasy RPG called Coins & Steel is using Loom SDK 
So far — there are about 6 ridiculously cool games being built using the Loom SDK.
...and that's all the games WE KNOW OF 😉
💡 Speaking of the Loom SDK, we also had some new updates last week.
Anyway, out of all the games being built on Loom so far — Coins & Steel (and Axie Infinity) has the coolest graphics in my opinion.
If you missed the announcement, you should definitely...

3. Deploying your first DApp on Loom's PlasmaChain (Part 1) 
So — Dev Bharel wrote an excellent guest post on how to ACTUALLY deploy your first DApp on Loom.
...so, if you've been curious about building and deploying your DApp FOR REAL, this is definitely for you.
💡 Once you are done with Part 1, take a look at Part 2: Moving ERC721 tokens between Ethereum & PlasmaChain.
If you are a developer, please take a look at our Loom SDK documentation as well.

By the way, since this is the "Loom Updates Newsletter" — I've been skipping Zombie Battleground related updates to keep things a bit more focused.

P.S— By the way, Seth Godin (one of my favorite people) released his new book This is Marketing last week. It's excellent. If you are interested in spreading your ideas in the modern world, I HIGHLY recommend that you study Seth's stuff.
