ArcBlock Newsletter #99
A monthly update on everything ArcBlock
All through this month, the ArcBlock team has been firing on all cylinders as we look to improve our builder and user experiences. We continue to make progress with ArcSphere and are looking at a range of new technologies like Model Context Protocol that will help power AIGNE in the future. We've also incorporated multi-language support into Pages Kit and added Base to our Payment Kit as a new payment option.
Here's a look at what has been happening.
๐ Product & Platform Updates
Pages Kit adds new multilingual editing experience.
ArcBlock has upgraded its platform to make it easier to use and edit in Pages Kit in multiple languages. Note, auto-transation was also enabled in Discuss Kit last month. The team also introduced a new attribute synchronization feature that takes style-related attributes and automatically syncs them to avoid having to update this in different languages manually.
Payment Kit now includes full support for Base Chain.
Base has been added to ArcBlock's Payment Kit ecosystem giving users and builders more options and payment solutions for their dApps and services. Base is an excellent compliment to ArcBlock's ecosystem and offers users efficient, fast and low-cost transactions.
