Starknet roundup #75

This newsletter is made possible thanks to Braavos, the open-source wallet designed for Starknet, featuring a state-of-the-art and constantly evolving UX.

With its latest innovative feature, Multi-Owner Account, Braavos harnesses the power of account abstraction to facilitate collaborative on-chain transaction management while increasing security.

This feature allows teams or any group to work together securely from a single account, where transactions are executed only when a predefined number of approved owners have given their authorization.

Enhance your team's security and explore this upgraded multi-sig model now 👇️
