To showcase the diversity of projects, we hosted the first Stacks Grants Demo Day, featuring grant recipients: Clarc, Gaideo, Risidio and Ryder. Throughout the hour-long presentation, the presenters dug deep into their work and wrapped it up with excited questions from the community.

A Clarity compiler for the Ethereum virtual machine; as it stands, Clarity is already available on Blockstack and soon on Arweave as well, and the Ethereum network would be an obvious--and in terms of current user base, no doubt the most important--next evolution.

Arto gave an in-depth walk through of how Clarc can expand the presence of Clarity Smart Contracts from the Stacks chain over to Ethereum, bringing all sorts of new functionalities. Jump in to Arto’s demo.
