Lisa Neigut's Base58 has received its first bitcoin grant from a donor-advised fund (DAF), facilitated by UI Charitable and Unchained. This grant, directed to Base58 School of Engineering, aims to provide scholarships for five engineers interested in learning the bitcoin protocol. The innovative DAF allows for contributions and distributions entirely in bitcoin, avoiding conversion to U.S. dollars. In a related development, the 'Plan B' initiative unveiled a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto in Lugano, Switzerland, honoring the legacy of Bitcoin's creator. Additionally, Gnosis Chain has launched a $40 million Ecosystem Venture Fund focused on early-stage projects, while Flare provides Blockchain Machine Images to streamline node deployment. Other highlights include new crypto redemption feeds by Pyth and Synthetix V3 expanding to Arbitrum, emphasizing ongoing innovation in the cryptocurrency space.
