Probably Nothing 122: 2x DevNTell + 50 Free Conensus Passes

This week, we have a whole bunch of goodies for you!

First, a new Meet the Members episode, where you learn more about D_D members, what they do, and who their Web3 crush is.

Since we missed an episode of DevNTell, we'll give you two this week to make up for it!

If you want to build and host a frontend for your DApp, get hyped for our Arweave 101 track on D_D Academy.

Oh, and we have 50 free developer passes for Consensus!

This week's issue of Probably Nothing is brought to you by AR.IO. The decentralized gateway network for Arweave. If you have ever asked yourself how to host your DApp frontend, AR.IO is the answer. Just build a SPA with your favorite framework and upload it to Arweave. It will be permanently hosted by AR.IO nodes worldwide.

You can access it via a D_D node very soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
