Probably Nothing 134:

This week, D_D OG Patrick Skinner is on DevNTell with AO, and we have a new lesson about Arweave gateway deployments in the Academy. Check them out!

We also had some wins:

Shoutout to @K4y1s for deploying the D_D Arweave Gateway.

Lights, Camera, Action! Congratulations, TY, on your live appearance on Fox News with @feleciafreely discussing @lecturesontap.

In this week's episode of DevNTell, Patrick Skinner, lead devrel at Forward Research (an OG D_D member), will give us an overview of AO, a decentralized hyper-parallel virtual computer built on Arweave.

Viewers of this DevNTell will learn about AO and what we can build with it. 

Register here.

We’re excited to announce that our gateway to the permaweb, arweave.developerdao.com, is live! This gateway enables you to seamlessly read and write to the Arweave network, marking a significant step in our commitment to decentralized access to the permaweb. But we need your support to realize this mission fully.

Help us secure rewards by delegating your testnet IO tokens (tIO) to our gateway. We’ll share the rewards with you, keeping only 10% commission to support the DAO. You can delegate your tIO tokens here. If you don’t have tIO tokens yet, visit the ar.io website to learn how to obtain them.

You can also support us by taking our Arweave Gateway course. Complete the exercises and earn tIO tokens, which will be delegated to us for the public good.

The second lesson of our @ArweaveEco 201 track is now live! This lesson guides you through deploying an @ArweaveEco gateway on AWS, covering:

1. Arweave Wallet Generation

2. Terraform and Gateway Configuration

3. AWS Deployment

4. API Client Testing

A huge shoutout to @ar_io_network for championing free, open education for all, and special thanks to our author, @K4y1s, for this masterpiece.

Last week, Prabal Banerjee, Co-founder of Avail demoed Avail. Avail is a Web3 infrastructure layer that allows modular execution layers to scale and interoperate in a trust-minimized way.

This episode taught viewers what Avail is and how Avail's Unification Layer enhances scalability, interoperability & security.
