+## DASL Testing from Cole Anthony Capilongo, Hypha Worker Co-operative
+
+Not all heroes wear capes, many of the cooler ones write tests. Tests are important in development, but they
+are particularly important when you're creating interoperable standards. The difference between a standard and
+a random piece of paper isn't that the standard was blessed by a special standards organization — there are
+plenty of worthlessly blessed pieces of paper out there — but rather that the standard has a comprehensive test
+suite passed by multiple independent production-quality implementations.
+
+With this in mind, we're excited to also support [Cole](https://hypha.coop/people/#Cole%20Anthony%20Capilongo)
+(from the mighty [Hypha](https://hypha.coop/) working on a test suite for [DASL](https://dasl.ing/)'s
+[dCBOR42](https://dasl.ing/dcbor42.html) (an interoperable subset of IPLD for deterministic data encoding) and
+[CIDs](https://dasl.ing/cid.html) (a usable subset of IPFS CIDs). Cole will exercise the tests against
+multiple implementations and help us fix bugs in the specifications too. It's going to be
+fan<em>test</em>ic.
+
+
 And beyond that, stay tuned: we will have more annoucements coming.
