The Shake: May 16, 2021
The Shake is your weekly recap of the Handshake ecosystem and protocol.
Community / Tech / StatsBlockExplorer.com The new Handshake block explorer is a collaboration between ShakeDex developer, Kurumi Imari, and the Kyokan team. More than an explorer, though, the site also serves as a frontend to the new Bob Wallet Chrome extension and the ShakeDex protocol. This explorer-wallet-exchange trifecta is a highly visible and effective entry point into the Handshake ecosystem.
When people discover Handshake for the first time, not only can they see what’s going on on-chain but they can also make a wallet and start using the protocol. - Kurumi Imari
