Welcome to a new week of multi-chain world Connextors!

Last week in Connext Ecosystem
Amarok is Finally Complete!
Amarok, the network upgrade of Connext Network, is finally complete, and it's ready to be launched in Beta in the coming weeks.
To make this process easier for the Connext users and developers, there will be new educational publishings and a new Twitter Space series over the next several weeks:
Educational Publishings:
How modular interoperability works
The security and feature tradeoffs in interop today, and how modularity can help to overcome them
The NEXT Wave of applications that Connext will enable
Twitter Space Series: WhatsNext — Starting Monday, 31 October
The launch will be live-streamed, and the core team will answer questions from the community.
Launch day activities include:
Stories from the early blockchain days (Check out the thread below before the launch day ;))
The most impactful learnings about building with special guests
Connext’s launch partners’ experience building xApps with Connext
Other community-run initiatives
