MetaNews #6 - March 2023
February Player of the Month award, Chainlog, MetaAlliance, and Meta
Another month, another dose of everything that happened inside MetaGame & the MetaAlliance, served with a portion of Meta: news & posts curated from the wider DAO & Web3 space as well as the wider webs of the world beyond!
First-time reader? Watch a video intro on MetaGame and see what it’s all about.
The main news this month:
🏆 Player of the Month (February) 🏆
You read all about Alec’s tech accomplishments in the previous MetaNews, but we’ll give you a recap anyway:
Worked on switching MetaOS from legacy Ceramic to the new ComposeDB tool
Organised beta testing of a ComposeDB-powered MetaOS
Set up a working demo of MetaOS × ComposeDB for ComposeDB builders 3Box Labs to show in use at ETHDenver
And also found time for code reviews, bug fixes, and Dework board bounty management
Just four bullet points, but a whole lot of work.
Props to Alec, the MetaGame player of the month for February!
