@ElectricCapital
's next Dev Report.
1. Check if you're listed here (Ctrl-F is your friend):
2. Also if you're writing solana programs within the ecosystem, check here:
Developer Report 2023 is coming SOON.
If you write open source code, include your work in this year's Dev Report by adding your repository to the open crypto taxonomy:
We are locking the data for repositories this week! 🔒

In crypto, self custody is always best. For the

network, that means the mobile app and the Ledger wallet. Storing your HNT or MOBILE with a counterparty (like an exchange or custody provider) comes with access to their products but one should understand risks and DYOR.
