Komodo Ecosystem Spotlight: RedFOX Labs 

This week, Komodo published another edition of the ecosystem spotlight blog series. This post focused on RedFOX Labs, a global blockchain venture builder. RedFOX will accelerate blockchain adoption by identifying proven high-growth business models that can benefit from blockchain technology, then building, launching, and growing blockchain startups. RedFOX is currently holding an IEO on the Coineal exchange. The first round of the IEO reached its hard cap in just 30 minutes. The second round will begin on April 17th. Join RedFOX's Telegram to learn more.

Komodo's Developer Documentation has a brand-new look!

Komodo's Developer Documentation received a visual refresh this week. The sleek dark theme, designed by Komodo's new Art Director Bob Embregts, is more in line with Komodo's current visual identity. In addition to the cosmetic update, Komodo team members Siddhartha, Gcharang, and Alright are constantly adding to and improving upon the Dev Docs. To see the new design and learn more about the inner workings of Komodo, find the Dev Docs here.


 

Bonus: Here is this week's edition of the Tech Tuesday update. For the last few months, the Komodo team has sent out two emails per week— the Tech Tuesday update and the Five Bullet Fridays weekly roundup. Going forward, Komodo will consolidate these two emails into one. You will still receive a weekly update every Friday and we'll make sure to include a link to the most recent edition of Tech Tuesday, just in case you missed it earlier in the week.

Building Blocks Hackathon

Every year, we host a hackathon bringing over 100 developers to the Microsoft Tech Center for two days of building. 

And this year is no different. 

Sponsored by IBM, Microsoft and Quorum, teams of developers can compete for $30,000+ in prizes. 

The hackathon is completely free for developers, so don't hesitate and apply now. 

Hackathon Application
And then theres Construct itself, which is part of the Consensus festivities at the Hilton Midtown. 

Many developer events are devoted to a specific protocol. Construct is meant to foster a collaborative environment where ideas are shared in a protocol-agnostic manner. 

The event is broken down into three parts:
  • Test Drive: This is an opportunity for developers to learn from leading platforms and discount the tools needed to get building. 
  • Pioneers Stage: This is the 'main stage' for Construct where attendees will hear from the most experience buildings
  • Changelog: Hosted by the Messari team, this is where you'll receive rolling updates on platform roadmaps and funding.
You're definitely not going to want to miss these three days of intense developer-focused content. 

Register today and developers can get their ticket for only $299. But they increase in price at 11:59PM EST on April 16th.
