Happy birthday Solidity! 🎂 And we're marking the occasion the best way we know how: Solidity v0.8.36 is out! This release brings Amsterdam EVM support, important bugfixes for the inheritance linearization and Yul optimizer, and continued progress on stack-too-deep mitigation. Full changelog 👇

We did a little summer revamp our site. Let us know what you think of the new minimalist look.

Solidity is part of @OctantApp epoch 12! Smart contracts across DeFi, staking infrastructure, and the core protocol are compiled almost entirely through solc. If you want to support the fundamental work we do, consider voting for us here: epoch.octant.app/rounds/0xf9… Every contribution is meaningful!

Final days of @OctantApp Epoch 12! 99% of Ethereum's value is secured by @solidity_lang. When you support Solidity, you support the infrastructure the ecosystem is built on. Every vote counts 🙏 epoch.octant.app/rounds/0xf9…

We're excited to share Epoch 12: Octant is for everyone. Allocation window opens at 12:30 pm ET today (16 June) and will close at 11:30 pm ET on 30 June. You can allocate on: octant.app This epoch marks a few big changes. This is our first epoch introducing ProperQF. This is our first epoch with zkproofs in voting. This is our first epoch open to ETH contributions. This is our first epoch on v2. So, let's get into it. Epoch 12 is our 13th funding round. We’ve got 200 ETH in our matching pool this time. As a GLM locker, you can allocate your WETH rewards to yourself and/or to projects that are part of this epoch. The matching pool will be quadratically split based on your allocations. For ETH contributions: 50% of the contribution will be converted to $GLM and burnt, and the remaining 50% will be allocated to your project selection. Part of this is to discourage sybil, and the other part is because our funding comes from @golemfoundation's treasury yield and GLM is core to the mechanism. We will be noting addresses who attempt to sybil and penalize them by removal in upcoming epochs. We've done a few deep dives on properQF and built a simulator you can use to model the final allocations: qf.octant.app Now for the fun part. We've got an incredible group of projects joining us in Epoch 12: @AestusRelay @BluefilterC @crypto_altruism @dappnode @eas_eth @ECHInstitute @etheconomiczone @ethStaker @EthereumRemix @FundingCommons @GiliEcoTrust @greenpilldevs @growthepie_eth @hypercerts @l2beat @OSObserver @ProtocolGuild @RevokeCash @rotkiapp @SEAL_911 @shefiorg @ShutterNetwork @solidity_lang @argotorg @torproject @zachxbt Allocation dates: 16 June - 30 June (11:30 PM EST). Every allocation makes a difference. Make yours count. Allocate now: octant.app
