May Monthly Update
Key highlights from May
May's been an eventful month, to say the least! Team ZKX descended upon a certain European country for our third boot- camp. The week was packed with cross-team collaboration - work sessions, team dinners and adrenaline-pumping team activities. We're gearing for a hot summer ahead 🔥
Let me walk you through the important updates of the month!
But first, let me introduce to you our Tribe!
In The Spotlight

At the behest of our community, we kicked off the Back to Basics series, where we break down the fundamentals that power ZKX. Our first blog, 'What are ZK Rollups?' has become our most popular and most widely shared blog yet. Read it here.
2. Crypto Insider | Spaces
Eduard joined Business Insider India for a discussion with representatives from WazirX and Antler. They discussed 'The Future of Web3.0'. ICYMI - here are my notes.
3. AMA #1
We co-hosted our first AMA with ZK Daily! Eduard and his peers from other promising StarkNet projects talked about why they chose to build on StarkNet. We've got regular AMAs lined up in the coming weeks - Follow us on Twitter to keep up with all the action!
