Winter is here! 

Crypto markets are hot, and so is the speed of growth throughout the Oasis ecosystem. The global Oasis community of core contributors, privacy ambassadors, creators, researchers, and users accomplished quite a lot in the past month that will carry through the rest of the final quarter for 2023!

Going into the holiday season, growth will continue at a steady clip! 😀

Here’s a full rundown of what happened in October. 

Engineering and Team Update

Oasis engineers successfully launched the Testnet release of Oasis Core 23.0. This latest release marks the first step of a milestone upgrade for the entire Oasis Network. Preparations for the Mainnet phase of the upgrade are underway. 

After evaluating hundreds of submissions, Oasis engineers and other members of the team proudly announced the winners of the 2023 Privacy4Web3 hackathon. Read about the winners and their projects here. 

Also, find the latest monthly engineering report on the Oasis blog. 

Oasis engineers and their colleagues traveled a bit during October (and November) to meet with other builders across the Web3 industry and chat about how Oasis privacy supports their goals. Check out highlights from SmartCon 2023 and look forward to seeing the Oasis community for our virtual event during Devconnect!
