A public gRPC API, a new light wallet, and lower barriers to build on Nockchain. In this issue... - Light Wallet: Send transactions and check balances without running a node - Public gRPC API: Fast, strongly typed access for developers - Easier wallet development: Mobile and desktop flows without Hoon - Integration notes: Client libraries, examples, and next steps Light Wallet: No Full Node Required We’ve released the Nockchain Light Wallet. It lets users send transactions, verify balanc
