useWeb3 - 2023 #2

GM ☀️

Hi! Welcome to another useWeb3 Newsletter! 👋

🛠️ Project Updates

We’re working on some exciting new stuff coming soon at the ‘useWeb3 Academy’. A great collaboration with Deenz, BlockQualified to test your knowledge and claim ZK certifications. More details soon™️

🗞️ News

There’s been a lot of debate lately about people paying for Goerli testnet Ether. While I don’t think there’s anything wrong with an incentivized testnet, this has not been the best way to go. Please be aware that you should NOT have to pay for using a testnet. Goerli is often used for stakers running their test validators. For everything else, use Sepolia. Sepolia is the recommended network to test smart contracts and application application development.
