😵 Missing in Ethereum… Again

Apologies for being absent over the last few weeks ya’ll - have just not had much time to put together the newsletter. Though of course I’m back with one now that’s packed full of Ethereum-related goodies - a lot happened as usual! Hopefully the markets aren’t treating you all too badly either.

Have a great week everyone!
