Hey Aptos community! Weekly community highlights are back ~ this time, on the new Aptos forum, where contributors are invited to share project updates in the Projects category.
On a weekly basis, the Aptos Labs team will publish summaries of meaningful contributions, and we would love to feature any relevant forum posts and other links. We will discuss relevant content at Move Mondays and Workshop Wednesdays.
