We had [1Delta](https://1delta.io/?utm%5Fsource=news.hemi.xyz&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=devs-data-and-defi) join live to walk through how they are simplifying DeFi access with BTC at the center—covering DEX aggregation, bridging, and yield tools built directly on Hemi. [Watch the replay](https://hemi.xyz/blog/midweek-with-max-1delta-joins-us-to-explore-their-tech-stack/?utm%5Fsource=news.hemi.xyz&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=devs-data-and-defi).

# Community Corner

​​Season 2 of [The Hemi Alliance](https://www.notion.so/HEMI-ALLIANCE-1ffcf136798580aca2e0e53d30ba8f66?utm%5Fsource=news.hemi.xyz&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=devs-data-and-defi) is here. This week launched a new task for Tier 1, Season 2 that any community member can participate in to attempt to reach Tier 2\. 

Speaking of Tier 2, a new task will launch and run through Monday. 🤫  
  
Looking ahead, we’re looking to have our second promotion ceremony where even more community members and Alliance Prospects will enter Tier 2 and be able to participate in elevated tasks. Details coming soon.  
  
We saw the [second Hemi Engineering AMA](https://hemi.xyz/blog/hemi-developer-ama-recap-whats-next-for-bitcoin-programmability-and-l3-security/?utm%5Fsource=news.hemi.xyz&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=devs-data-and-defi) take place this week. It ran 90 minutes and we barely made a dent on the questions. We’ll be looking to host another one in the next couple weeks to address these, and more, questions. Moving forward, we hope to make these a monthly tradition.  
  
And now, some community creations:
