Ecosystem Update 
@jrmith
Ecosystem rebrand - You find Jeff’s session here about the rebrand. It is important to have consistent branding within ecosystem especially with new entities coming up while drawing a clear distinction between all of them.
Leave official rebrand feedback on this forum post. Discuss rebrand in the #rebrand-feedback channel on Discord.
Sign up for a chance to get newly branded swag.

Blockstack Connect Update 
c/o @markmhendrickson and @hank
Developers can look forward to using the new version of connect to sign a transaction using clarity smart contracts that are published in the stacks 2.0 testnet. Stay tuned for the announcement! 
Putting this out there → The UI/UX team needs our feedback to further improve the user experience before mainnet. So please connect with Mark and Hank if you have any! They are also looking for small group feedback session either 1 on 1, 2, or 3. So if you’re interested I’m more than happy to coordinate a time that works for everyone.
Also, Hank did a demo of the new connect. You can view it in the recording @ 10.44 onwards.
