cyfrin certified jobs: our friends at cyfrin just launched a jobs & recruitment platform for updraft-certified & verified candidates. take a course, get certified, find a job. browse their certifications here, join the telegram channel for new roles, or view open jobs here.

tycho loves hooks: propellerheads just announced dci (dynamic contract indexing), enabling tycho to support uni v4 hooks. dci automatically traces and indexes any contract a dex depends on, including hooks with dynamic fees & external liquidity. solvers can now route through new dexs like eulerswap, angstrom (& more). join their telegram group or learn more here.

routing with barter: speaking of angstrom, they just integrated barter, a trading engine (aka a router) for deeper liquidity, price optimization. learn more about barter here.

smarter audits: the uf security fund is expanding to include pre-audit scanning on the areta marketplace. pre-audit scans catch issues during the building phase so that auditors can focus on what matters. its simply more efficient. providers include olympix, octane, almanax, & sherlock. start scanning at marketplace.areta.io, or read more on our blog. btw, uhi grads get special rates. 

1billi hook club: aegis, an open source dynamic fee mechanism protecting LPs (built with support from the hook design lab), just crossed 1billi in total volume. kyber, aggregating liquidity across multiple dexs with dynamic trade routing to find optimal routes, hit 1.1b. they've joined eulerswap ($1.6b) in the billionaires club, blooming before our very eyes.
plus, there are now 16,000+ hooks initialized on v4, and the uniswap protocol has processed over $2.5 trillion in all-time volume on ethereum mainnet.
