NEW BLOG POST ALERT! 🔔
Straight from Hiro DevEx Wizkid Alex Graebe. The BNS naming system on Stacks is a powerful identity solution that developers can leverage to get usernames and namespaces into the hands of their users. This latest piece sheds some light on the current status of the BNS support in Hiro tooling, and provides resources for getting started. Still a bit bummed I didn't get bitcoin.btc😆 , but the possibilities are endless!

It’s Technical Tuesday on the Hiro Blog! We’ve got a new post coming at you by one of our BIG 2021 pickups, Distributed Systems Engineer Pavitthra Pandurangan. She joined in February and hit the ground running with learning all there is to know about Stacks tech. You might even recognize her from hosting the weekly SIP reading rooms where they deep dive on the design, implementation, and governance of the Stacks blockchain. Well she spent some time rigorously researching how the Merkelized Adaptive Radix Forest (or “MARF”) allows us to efficiently query and authenticate blockchain state, and packaged up awesome explainer summarizing how data is stored on Stacks. If you’re nerdy for the crazy computer science parts of blockchain, then this is the blog post for you!

Users can store their identity info on their device, control who can see it, and understand how their identity is used. Nobody, including Jolocom themselves, can access the data without permission.

CLARITY DEVELOPERS REJOICE! 🙌

Today, Hiro officially announced a tool that greatly streamlines the creation, testing, and deployment of smart contracts on Stacks. Clarinet, developed by engineer Ludo Galabru, is our new go-to utility for local Clarity smart contract development. Its included Clarity REPL and testing harness allow devs to rapidly develop and test a Clarity smart contract, without the need to deploy the contract to a local mocknet or testnet.

Clarinet has truly been Ludo’s labor of love the last few months, and his goal in developing the tool was to make coding smart contracts as streamlined and secure as possible for beginner and experienced Stacks devs alike. Clarinet is so powerful and easy that we’ve even implemented it into tutorials in our docs, like the new Billboard or NFT tutorials. 🛠

A huge thank you to a lot of community members & projects for assisting with the development of Clarinet, using it to build their projects, and giving feedback on desired features. We couldn’t be more thrilled to get this in front of devs, and have them begin incorporating Clarinet while building smart contracts required for their dapp. Don’t be shy! Ludo would love to hear any and all feedback in the tool’s repository on Github.

Now get out there and make sweet sweet smart contract music! 🎷
