Tendermint Announces October CodeFest for Cosmos 

October Codefest is a month-long virtual event hosted by Tendermint to celebrate open-source software development and grow the Cosmos community. The codefest is open to the public, and you are cordially invited to attend. You can make a positive contribution to the Cosmos ecosystem regardless of your background or skills. For all information and how to join, have a look at the article: https://blog.cosmos.network/october-codefest-call-for-contributors-42ade37f4913 

Terra Columbus-5 Update 

On the 30th of September 2021, the Terra Network went through one of its largest upgrades to date, known as the Columbus-5 upgrade. The upgrade introduces a number of changes, among which one of the biggest among them being the adoption of inter-blockchain communication (IBC) which will connect Terra-based assets to the Cosmos Ecosystem. Furthermore, the IBC will also create a bridge between the Cosmos ecosystem and the Terra, Solana ($SOL), and Polkadot ($DOT) blockchains. Ethereum will be added to that list soon. Overall, about 250 decentralized applications (dApps) will potentially be added to the ecosystem. 

DISCLAIMER: This is not financial advice. Staking, delegation, and cryptocurrencies involve a high degree of risk, and there is always the possibility of loss, including the loss of all staked digital assets. Additionally, delegators are at risk of slashing in case of security or liveness faults on some protocols. We advise you to do your due diligence before choosing a validator.
