Phat Milestones: Celebrating Our 100th Phat Contract

The Phala Network mainnet now boasts 50 Brick Profiles. In another significant achievement, we marked the deployment of our 100th Phat Contract. Cheers to continued growth! 🎉

Introducing the Enhanced LensAPI Oracle

The LensAPI Oracle has not only been upgraded for Lens V2 but it also underwent a comprehensive architectural restructuring. This paves the way for a myriad of new opportunities. Dive deeper into the specifics here 🌿

In the past, Lens V2 on-chain contracts had difficulty accessing off-chain Momoka data. This limitation is no longer an issue. In the demo that follows, Phala Network's Co-Founder, Hang, highlights the enhancements brought by the updated LensAPI Oracle.

As we celebrate our advancements with the LensAPI Oracle, it's not just our team taking notice. Stani, the esteemed founder of LensProtocol, hailed our upgrade. In his words, it's "huge.”

A Successful Close: Phala Network's Two-Part Hackathon

With a total of 31 remarkable submissions, we concluded our vibrant hackathon series with Developer DAO. Below are three diverse use cases of Phat Contract in action:

1. SafeShift: A content-sharing platform emphasising safety and blocking NSFW.

2. Lens Phite V2: An on-chain game allowing players to compete based on their Lens Protocol stats.

3. Skybet: An interactive crypto betting platform where enthusiasts can test predictions and earn rewards
