HAL #4: Recipes and Marathon
Welcome to the fourth issue of the HAL newsletter!
What a crazy week has been! HAL v1 is finally here. We launched "Recipes", a game-changer to make Ethereum dApps easier to use.
To celebrate, we released an integration with a different dApp every day for a week and the feedback of the community has been so positive that we are starting the “One recipe a day to make Ethereum easier to use” marathon with this Gitcoin grant.
Introducing Recipes
Recipes are a new, collaborative way to create and share your favorite triggers. HAL is now the first 1-click-setup IFTTT for Ethereum, featuring dApp-specific integrations with webhooks, Discord, Slack, Telegram, Twitter, and emails. We already support some of the most popular dApps out there and the list keeps growing:
#1 - Monday - PoolTogether
Do you want to know if you won or who won? We have a recipe to track winners of weekly and daily prizes 🏆
#2 - Tuesday - Aave
Worried about your Health Factor on Aave? We have a recipe to monitor your health factor 🌾👨🌾
#3 - Wednesday - Compound
Don’t risk getting liquidated on Compound. Use this recipe to track your account liquidity 🏦 👀
#4 - Thursday - Loopring
Not sure when your withdrawal will be processed? Here’s the recipe to be notified when your withdraw is executed 💳
#5 - Friday - Chainlink
Do you want to keep track of gas price? Activate a simple notification with this recipe ⛽️ 👍
#6 - Yesterday - Synthetix
Maximize your debt and avoid liquidations. Use this recipe to be notified about your C-Ratio 🌱 ⚔️
We’re going to release several new recipes over the next days, but we’d also love to hear from you which recipe you’d like to see next by filling the Typeform here :)
An unexpected bot joins the family
This one wasn’t really planned, but when Robert Leshner asked for the community to build a Twitter bot, Leighton Cusack from PoolTogether was quick to suggest HAL:
Massive growth
The tremendous work of the last few weeks has been rewarded by a marked growth across all our primary channels: so far we’ve seen:
+120% growth in our web users in just one week since we launched recipes
~500 followers on Twitter (more than doubled since we launched recipes)
~150 members on our Telegram channel
