Shutter Network Community Update - September 2024
In this edition, we are excited to present a detailed summary of the events and highlights from September 2024.

Unlocking Transparency: Introducing the Shutter Explorer
We are excited to introduce the Shutter Explorer, a public interface created to provide insights into the Shutter protocol's operations. This new tool enables users, validators, and developers to access essential data, such as validator activity, transaction lifecycle tracking, and real-time protection against Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) attacks and (real-time) censorship.

Introducing NanoShutter: Shutter for Hackathons
Are you ready to bring cryptographic fairness to your hackathon projects? Introducing NanoShutter, a simplified version of Shutter designed specifically for hackathons. NanoShutter makes it easy for developers to integrate cryptographic features into their projects, offering a playful yet powerful introduction to threshold encryption, commit-reveal schemes and information symmetry.
In this blog post, we'll explore what NanoShutter is, how it works, and how you can use it to build exciting projects like our Shutterized Rock Paper Scissors game.

Olas x Isotropic x Shutter: Using Autonomous Agents to Give Blueprint for Fairness on EVM Chains
In July 2024, the Shutter integrated its groundbreaking threshold encryption technology known as Shielded Trading into the Gnosis Chain mempool, bringing front running prevention and censorship resistance to the chain. Today, we're excited to announce an integration between Olas, Isotropic Solutions, and Shutter to conduct AI-driven experiments using autonomous agents on Shutter's encrypted mempool on Gnosis Chain. Isotropic Solutions was selected through a community-driven decision, with members of the Shutter DAO 0x36 voting on Snapshot to approve the proposal to build Olas agents.
