Sui Dev Newsletter #11
Welcome to the 11th edition of the Sui Developer Newsletter!
Earlier today, Mysten Labs launched the public Testnet of Walrus, bringing more features and functionality to developers exploring Walrus. Check out the developer announcement in Walrus Docs and discover how Walrus can help with any storage needs in what you’re building.
Do you want to showcase your tool, SDK, or other artifact that might be useful for developers building on Sui? We now accept submissions from the community through the GitHub repository.
We are eager for your feedback on what you would like to see in the newsletter — tag @SuiNetwork, join our Discord community, or ask on the developer forums.
