Before we get to the weekly digest, I am excited to announce that my side project Algolotto is now in alpha. Algolotto currently offers a weekly raffle that uses Algorand’s randomness beacon — test it out by buying a ticket or two on testnet.
In due course, I will be working on improving the UI / UX, fixing bugs, adding additional product features, and completing the docs. Follow my development updates on twitter.
