RiB Newsletter #25 - Hello, Summer

Welcome to the #25 edition of Rust in Blockchain, the chillest newsletter about the chillest tech. Previous: #24.

 

Thanks

Thanks to contributors: convexitydmcc, haochizzle, jkdipeppe, Ken Carpenter, Manuel Mauro, Mikhail Zabaluev, Thomas Lisankie, Tony Arcieri, Brian Anderson, and Aimee Zhu. Thank you for your help!

RiB needs help to keep up with Rust blockchain projects. If you follow a particular project, or otherwise find information that is beneficial to the Rust & blockchain community, please contribute to the next issue by submitting a PR to the #26 draft.

 

Project Spotlight

Each month we like to shine a light on a notable Rust blockchain project. This month that project is…

bip32.rs.

This is a pure Rust, generic, no_std-friendly implementation of BIP32 hierarchical deterministic wallets and BIP39 mnemonics.
