August marked another month of building our universal-purpose zkVM. Let’s look back at all the happenings here at ZKM.
ZKM DevRel Lead Filip Dimitrijevic joined MetisDAO Foundation’s Hack to the Future livestream event for Metis Ecosystem developers. Filip presented ZKM’s vision to turn Ethereum into the global settlement layer, as well as the initial use cases of ZKM. While we wait for our MVP to be announced in the coming months, we urge devs to join our discord and be a part of the conversation and continue to move forward with our application.
Check out the livestream here to hear from all Metis EcoNodes.
