Community Highlights

*   D\_D Cloud released the open-source library [Stack String](https://github.com/Futex-Labs/Stack-String) (sstr). Sstr is a stack-allocated string that can emulate some behaviors and ergonomics of heap-allocated strings. The library is compatible with no\_std, doesn't allocate heap memory, and integrates with serde 🔥

D\_D Cloud
----------

Incredibly, Ethereum is now 10 years old!  All great things require time to mature, and, amazingly, it took a decade for an RPC option like D\_D Cloud to emerge.

We're putting the final touches on the first-ever hybrid cloud built for web3, and it's almost showtime. Want front-row seats when the doors open?
