Wow! My eyes love these slides with moving elements! Great design!
Actually I follow Elrond quite a while and let me tell you this!

Elrond team is raising the benchmark for what defines fast, effective, secure and decentralized blockchain. Their testnet is live, everyone can try their wallet or set up a node. Smart contract platform is being developed in fast pace. Every week I read their progress reports and wonder how it can be done so fast! Partnerships look very meaningful and I hope to see their fruits soon! Elrond seems to me most progressive and successful startup this year!

I'm watching the progress of this wonderful project since the early days and I have to say that it is one of the best decisions I have ever taken since I got interested in the blockchain technology!
It's not often that you can find a project that not only aims to reach new heights (technology-wise), but also has the skills to do it and it delivers at a constant pace!
Elrond Network continues to amaze me and, even if it came a long way already, the road ahead looks more promising than ever!
I can't wait for you guys to launch the Mainnet and show the whole world the real potential of the blockchain technology!

ELROND - whitepaper only a onepager.

For those who did not have time to read the full whitepaper - ERD have prepared a onepager!

https://elrond.com - A scalable value transfer protocol for the digital economy (10k tx/sec - minimal latency - negligible fees)

---

Relentless in progress. Team has been around for long time, technology is sound and the vetting got on Binance just shows this is truly valuable.

Reading about economics, team tokens are blocked for 3.5 years - this also shows this is for long term.

Great stuff overall. Thanks for the very well presented ANN.

Roadmap is very tight, a lot to do! In Q4 dApp store will be opened. Does it mean some Hackatons will be organised for dApp developers? I think developers will be more than happy to develop dApps and run them on developer friendly blockchain which will easily handle every dApps  highest requirements for thoroughput!

Let’s recap. (https://t.co/QhIF1diLjU?amp=1)

"Gartner forecasts that blockchain will generate an annual business value of more than US $3 trillion by 2030. It’s possible to imagine that 10% to 20% of global economic infrastructure will be running on blockchain-based systems by that same year.”

This is still 2019 and Elrond is making significant steps in making sure the future is ours. One step at a time, Elrond has been focused on enhancing usability, adoption and to amplify outreach. This newsletter offers a summary of our recent developments.

I am very interested in Elrond and typingDNA partnership! I tried typingDNA demo and I was excited! Will be great to authenticate in wallet or data storage or any Elrond service by typing some peace of text! Lovely!

THIS WEEK IN ELROND: https://twitter.com/iulian_pascalau/status/1159854177931137024?s=20


1/ 1/ VM factory. Elrond does not limit itself to only one VM, we can have as many as we want. More VMs, more languages, more tools, easier to develop the new best dApps.
2/ Technical analysis for the next VM/language which will be integrated besides IELE. More info next week, when the integration is finished.
3/ Nodes Coordinator implementation in preparation for rewards and rating management.
4/ IELE VM is further optimized, by implementing left hand side tree verification on the generated K rules. When finished, this will bring important processing optimizations.
5/ Wrapped the node's REST API with pprof routes to allow us to remotely monitor the resources used and find possible memory or goroutine leaks.
6/ Bugfix / feature add gaslimit per miniblocks.
7/ A termui-based console implementation for a better interaction with the node.
8/ Improved components documentation and requirements.
9/ Integration tests improvements.

Is the sharding tech already implemented?

One week of their hard work, I believe they will succeed if they are still on the right track. Hard work will bring sweet fruits of most powerful blockchain!

Want to know why we need new sharding blockchain when there already is Zilliqa? watch this:

https://www.captiongenerator.com/1472352/At-Zllqa-core-devs-meeting-

Here is a detailed explanation of differences between Zilliqa and Elrond:

Elrond does horizontal scaling with State Sharding, while Zilliqa only does network and transaction sharding.

Zilliqa tries to solve scalability by addressing half of the problem, and that is by doing network and transaction sharding - so it improves somewhat the scalability and the network can process about 2500 TPS (2828 TPS with 3600 nodes). The network sharding is not optimal however as all the shards still need to synchronize the entire state of the system leading to communication overhead. It does not solve the hardest part of the problem which is state sharding.

Having no State Sharding basically means for Zilliqa that every node in the network has to store the entire state of the blockchain. In very high throughput blockchains the storage requirements grow very fast. A validator needs some special hardware to keep up with this kind of demand. Elrond solves the storage problems, by also sharding state, so that every node in the network has to store just a part of the entire state, the one corresponding for its shard.

Zilliqa still uses PoW in order to prevent Sybil attacks, while Elrond uses PoS, a much more energy-efficient way to prevent Sybil attacks. Ziliqa PoW validator is required to have special hardware to run a node and it only runs in Ubuntu OS. Elrond validator has low system requirements and runs on Windows, Linux and Mac as well.

Zilliqa stores all the Smart Contracts in a single shard, while Elrond will distribute Smart Contracts among all shards in order to be able to parallelize Smart Contract execution.

Elrond: High-throughput public blockchain with Adaptive State Sharding -  (by Paradigm fund) (https://medium.com/paradigm-fund/elrond-high-throughput-public-blockchain-with-adaptive-state-sharding-1b263fa18284)

 + HERE: Full review on Elrond Network (https://medium.com/paradigm-fund/elrond-high-throughput-public-blockchain-with-adaptive-state-sharding-1b263fa18284)

Summary
To sum up, Elrond looks like a very promising project. It has a working (in a testing environment) solution for scalability problems, and that could really disrupt the market if the same result will be seen on the mainnet. Unlike most of its competitors Elrond supports a lot of programming languages, the smart contract languages are formally defined in K Framework, it is possible to perform formal verification of smart contracts written in these languages.
Elrond is a kind of “all-rounder” type of project, it can be considered Layer 1, Layer 2, and Interoperability project. It is both a strength and weakness: Elrond has a lot of potential use-cases and can choose it’s focus further down the line, but at the same time there is a risk of becoming “Jack of all trades, master of none”.
Elrond has a lot of competitors and they have been in the game for a longer time, so Elrond will have to act quickly and try to launch a marketing campaign that will be able to attract anchor clients and core users. Right now it is hard to compete with Elrond tech-wise, but their next challenge and opportunity will focus on how they will attract users and developers.

Competitors: https://docs.elrond.com/detalied-comparative-analysis/elrond-vs.-ethereum-serenity
Elrond marks Ethereum (2.0), Zilliqa, Dfinity, Algorand, Harmony, Quarkchain and Multivac as their competitors and they have written a detailed comparison to each of the aforementioned companies.
If I were to outline the main differences between those companies and Elrond they would be as follows:
    1- Consensus mechanism — SPoS, this novel consensus is much more efficient than PoS or HPoW;
    2- Sharding — not all of the competitors even use sharding, but those who use lack wholesome approach, Elrond’s adaptive state sharding is the state of the art;
    3- Cross-shard operations — there is a larger overhead in communication compared to the Elrond architecture;
    4- The finality of the cross-shard transactions is much shorter in Elrond.

Look here, you will know

Why we do not see real adoption of blockchain technology in businesses? It is relatively new technology and there still are a lot of unsolved issues. Big enterprises like Apple, IBM, Microsoft, Google are researching this technology and trying to implement it. But there was no public blockchain yet which would bring necessary speed, scalability, security without sacrificing decentralisation.

But with Elrond's Adaptive State Sharding and SPoS it becomes possible! Elrond is working day and night to launch their mainnet in Q4 and then potential enterprise users will have opportunity to try it and see that this blockchain brings long awaited efficiency!

Thanks, Where is download link?

Please list in other exchangers, binance in the future wants remove us customers in .com

For the moment, ERD is a BEP-2 token and is considered a security in US. Once the mainnet will be launched in Q4, things will change.

So we can only store in binance?

Zil is not the only one project which has sharding. For example Pchainans some other projects have sharding too. They should compare all projects.

NEW Exclusive Interview in Forbes with Beniamin Mincu, CEO of Elrond:
  How This Company Is Pushing The Limits Of Blockchain Technology To Achieve Scalability (https://www.forbes.com/sites/joresablount/2019/08/12/how-this-company-is-pushing-the-limits-of-blockchain-technology-to-achieve-scalability)


Momentum is gaining among blockchain proponents that the next generation of applications, free from the centralized data monopoly of big tech, is just over the horizon. At the core of the race towards more scalable, decentralized applications (dApps) is the hope that recent advances in the underlying technology, ranging from sharding to proof-of-stake, can provide the type of infrastructure that these dApps need to become widely adopted.

 One of the platforms pushing the envelope in the underlying technology is Elrond, a high-value transfer network that relies on secure proof-of-stake consensus and a bleeding-edge integration of sharding with a public blockchain.

Sharding is an ambitious take on scaling public blockchains at the convergence of decades-old technology for horizontal database partitioning and decentralized networks. Elrond has made some significant headway producing a working sharding implementation, and already has a testnet live with an early version of their platform.

I had a chance to speak with Beniamin Mincu, CEO of Elrond, on the progress and future direction of the technology, along with its potential industry-wide implications.

Joresa Blount: Can you give a high-level overview of the technology (i.e., sharding & proof-of-stake) that underpins your network?

Beniamin Mincu:  Elrond is a new blockchain architecture, designed from scratch to bring a 1000-fold cumulative improvement in throughput and execution speed. To achieve this, Elrond introduces two key innovations: a novel adaptive state sharding mechanism and a secure proof-of-stake (sPoS) algorithm.

The key insight with sharding is that you can partition the network into smaller networks to enable parallel transaction processing. Once you can do that, a new performance paradigm opens up. There are 3 levels of sharding, each posing a more difficult challenge that needs to be solved: transaction sharding (level 1), network sharding (level 2), and state sharding (level 3). After more than one and a half years of work, Elrond has validated the technical model proposed in its technical paper, and has come with a practical solution to the most difficult of the problems that can radically increase performance.

The adaptivity of our sharding model means that unlike other networks, in Elrond, as more nodes join, the network can expand and contract in real-time. In other words, as more nodes join the network to reap validator rewards, new shards are formed based on a clever binary tree model, and scalability increases even further.

The second key innovation in Elrond is its secure proof-of-stake algorithm. Elrond has attempted to depart from the energy-intensive and unsustainable proof-of-work and come up with a solution compatible with a globally scalable architecture. Thus, we employ proof-of-stake to significantly improve energy efficiency and prevent Sybil attacks, random sampling of the consensus group to make it very secure, unpredictable and use of a PBFT consensus variation for breakneck execution speed.

The implication of these improvements is hard to overstate, and businesses are starting to pay attention because, for them, they make all the difference.

 Elrond Network has announced that it has entered the Trusted IoT Alliance (TIoTA) (https://medium.com/elrondnetwork/elrond-brings-its-high-throughput-and-fully-sharded-blockchain-infrastructure-to-the-trusted-iot-1a02a85efcdd)


Elrond Network, the scalable public blockchain that deploys sharding technology has announced that it has entered the Trusted IoT Alliance (TIoTA), joining a retinue of high-profile enterprises and developer organizations to create a collaborative consortium ecosystem at the forefront of IoT innovation

August 14, 2019 / The McKinsey Global Institute projects that nearly 30 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020, encompassing an overall IoT economic impact value between $4 trillion and $11 trillion by 2025. TIoTA’s 2025 goals include building a secure, interoperable, and scalable IoT ecosystem based on blockchain technology that is capable of facilitating M2M payments, autonomous supply chain management, and many more applications across multiple industries.
Elrond Network is ideally suited for the push into the next generation of the Internet, where scalable, public infrastructure will be necessary to support the frictionless transfer of value. Elrond is one of the blockchain projects spearheading the experimentation of scalable, interoperable infrastructure for the underlying technology.
The platform relies on a horizontal database partitioning technique called sharding, and, when blended with the network’s Secure Proof-of-Stake consensus (SPoS), provides a decentralized and highly performant blockchain. As a result, Elrond presents an optimal backbone for the ongoing work of TIoTA, and the network will be of use to the TIoTA’s enterprise members for hackathons and challenges meant to solve real-world problems.
The TIoTA Consortium is comprised of numerous projects at the bleeding-edge convergence of IoT application development and blockchain technology. Alongside major corporate partners such as Bosch, Cisco, Telekom, Siemens and others, Elrond is positioned favorably to support the growth of TIoTA’s leading open-source software foundation.

What advantages are here before IOTA? IOTA is using DAG instead of blcokchain as I know, which is more faster than blcokchain nowdays? If you want use Elrond for IoT devices, than you should compare with copetitors like IOTA I think... ?

ElrondNetwork’s short summary progress made this week -  Read the thread HERE for the weekly tech update (https://twitter.com/SasuRobert/status/1162424378497359873)


1. Released feature-rich testnet v1.0.12 with a redesigned ui and validator monitoring. Verifying your nodes is easier, all the data rendered into a simple UI.
2. Reworking the scripts for starting a node, one-click deployment, bringing all the tools, building and running them. There is no more need to start a CLI.
3. Improved gas limit and consumption calculation for miniblocks. Creating batches of miniblocks with predefined gas limit, in order to be sure that it is executable in a given time in the destination shard.
4. Heartbeat gets new data to be shared, this tool helps to send and receive messages about your connected peers and their statistics.
5. New validator page, now you can see who is on and synchronized from the validators on the testnet. This is the frontend for heartbeat. Keep your validator in the green.
6. Started integrating the new VM to run WASM. Multiple languages can be compiled into it, ran with JIT/AOT compilers, a number of great developer tools are already available and it is super fast.
7. We propose to support multiple engines in the back: WABT, Bynarien, WAVM, Google V8. As always, it is not enough for us to copy existing technologies, we want to improve them.
8. Launched http://cryptobubbles.io. First dApp in a truly sharded architecture. Written in IELE, running on a formally verified VM, k framework with go backend.

9. IELE VM got another set of improvements, when it comes to memory handling and rule matching. It is getting faster every day.
10. One more step for K Finality in shards. As a group of bad actors can drive some part of the shard into an invalid fork, that group will be desynchronized from the netwrok. The solution is to revert back to the final shardblock notarized by metachain.
11. Activated nonce check for each type of transaction
12. In our stress tests we found and interesting bug: the consensus and processing was so fast that 2 consecutive blocks were created in the same round.
     Metachain subsequently stopped notarizing the shardblocks becuase of invalidity.
     Added more security checks on any block.
13. Detailed documentation and specification of the Elrond node. It started as an internal description of the components, but it will become our open cookbook.
14. Elrond HQ validators meeting was a great success, many enthusiasts to become validators in the Elrond protocol. Discussed the further steps in terms of automatizing the administration of the node.

There are posts on the first page of this thread where you will find comparisons to other projects and not only Zilliqa.

I can understand to miss a few pages when a thread is long but this one has only a few comments so far.

I would suggest developing a habit to read first at least 70% of the thread before posting.

Not only this saves you from many mistakes but there is a big chance that you will find something interesting and write a high-quality post because of it.

Back to the topic.

Elrond is a very interesting project and I ask myself why this thread caught almost no attention from reputable members?

Already a few months on the market and looks very professional. If roadmap would be delivered without delays we can find Elrond in top 10 on CMC very fast but still no attention from Bitcointalk community.

ERD is in the process of building, they are running testnet, by the end of this year there will be mainet. Be patient, ERD will be in the top 10 of CMC in 2-3 years, if they follow the right roadmap, I think

This is exactly what I thought.

Mainnet launch is always a milestone for every project. I hope that would be delivered on time.

I am completely new to ERD could you please tell me how the development progress looks so far? Any delays or problems?

ERD has been listed on the bitmax platform

#8 This week in Elrond :  Read the thread below for the weekly tech update (https://twitter.com/LucianMincu/status/1164936051397316609)


1. -> WASM integration into Elrond protocol is almost ready, ~90%. We choose to use ewasm / hera as the base and changed the whole implementation and logic of linking the actual engine to the protocol.
2. The next things are defining and limiting non-deterministic behaviour of WASM linking crypto hooks into the Engine, as we want to get rid of sentinel contract. Further steps is to create libraries for smart contract developers to use and deploy them.
3. -> Optimization for our formally verified VM with GO backend never stops: improvements on collections, especially maps.
-> Heartbeat improvements: checking the validity/integrity of the information about the node - ShardID
4. -> Completely refactored of the interceptors component. Interceptors do the hard work of prevalidating any data coming from the network. They unmarshal the data, verify the integrity and validity of all data fields, caches and validating the data.
5. -> As we work mostly with interfaces and go's nil check does not verify if the underlying object is nil, it may have adverse effects such as nil pointer exception. All nil check on the protocol got updated with interface nil checks as well.
6. -> Transactions generator binary: working on a new binary which will generate transactions used for stress-testing on the testnet. It will send a given number of intra-shard or cross-shard transactions to the network, optimising the test transactions generation from the node.
7. -> We finally have a peer processor which writes into the peer state trie, it updates data such as uptime, rating, number of signed and missed blocks and so forth.
8. Metachain gathers all the peer data through the shard headers and updates the trie. As all the nodes process the meta-headers they also update their peer state. So all the peers have the same global view of how the others behave.
9. -> Handling of summing all the transaction fees and creating special transactions to the leader, to a burn address and to the community is finished. Implementing rewards is in the final meters, in the weekend will be finished.
10. -> Validator Dashboard improvement on termui console, added new metric for block info and change CPU load and Memory load to display how many CPU and Memory node use.
-> More features added to the testnet validator lists on https://testnet.elrond.com/#/validators

11. Oh, cryptobubbles got some new, better AI bots, just to make a little bit harder/funnier the game. Have not described what is happening behind the gameplay but will follow up on this soon. Give it a try and share it with your friends -> https://cryptobubbles.io

12. From my point of view, I guess this is the best testnet version released after the official public release, and I am really happy to see all these devs / validators getting involved running the chain, upgrading and maintaining a overall uptime of 99% of most validators.
13. Join our validator / dev call next week https://twitter.com/LucianMincu/status/1164492824445902848?s=20

BitMax Admin : Great to have @beniaminmincu the CEO of Elrond joining us here today. As you all know, ERD was recently listed on the platform and the BitMax team is super excited to establish a synergistic relationship with Elrond as it continues to expand network value.
I’ll let Beniamin kick things off with a quick personal introduction before giving us some background on the project before we open things up for Q&A.

Beniamin Mincu : Hey guys. Really great to be here
Thrilled to have Elrond listed on Bitmax and sharing more info with all of you.
Here’s a brief version of how it all started.
I stumbled into bitcoin sometime in 2013 and joined the NEM core team in 2014 to lead product, marketing, and community, helping take the project from a Bitcointalk post to a global billion dollar product. I have co-founded Metachain Capital to invest in ambitious founders solving critical blockchain problems and also started ICO Market Data with my brother to streamline investment expertise.
As it became clear that scalability was perhaps the most pressing problem in the blockchain space, I saw no one was really solving it properly and had a clear intuition on how a really compelling solution would look, but needed to test it against the brightest technical minds I knew and see what I was missing.
So, together with my brother we gathered some of our smartest technical friends, and had several in-depth discussions about this. The discussions continued for about a 1.5 months, when it became clear we had a really significant breakthrough. This is how Elrond began, and the point when we started working on formalizing the first fully state sharded proof of stake architecture.
The rest, as they say, is history 🙂
To clarify: Elrond is a new blockchain architecture, designed from scratch to bring a 1000x cumulative improvement in throughput and execution speed. To achieve this, Elrond introduces two key innovations: a novel Adaptive State Sharding mechanism, and a Secure Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithm, enabling linear scalability with a fast, efficient, and secure consensus mechanism. Thus, Elrond can process upwards of 10,000 transactions per second (TPS), with 5-second latency, and negligible cost, attempting to become the backbone of a permissionless, borderless, globally accessible internet economy.
We have built Elrond with great team of experienced entrepreneurs along with 13 engineers and researchers with significant blockchain backgrounds and technical experience at Microsoft, Google, Intel, and NTT DATA. The team includes two PhDs in CS & AI, multiple math, CS, and AI Olympiad champions, and a former member of the NEM core team.
We’ve come a long way since Oct 2017, and the future of Elrond looks more promising then ever before.

BitMax Admin : Shall we open things up for question?

Elrond (ERD) joins as BEPSwap Launch Partner

Elrond, a scalable value transfer protocol, is joining the BEPSwap Platform to provide liquidity to ERD token holders. >>>> READ FULL HERE (https://medium.com/thorchain/elrond-erd-joins-as-bepswap-launch-partner-36e6a238ad1d)


Elrond on BEPSwap

Elrond is powered by the $ERD token which requires deep liquidity in order to be useable across the network. The ERD token is bonded by validators to secure the network and thus must have excellent price discovery.

As such, ERD is listed on Binance DEX to allow a wider market exposure and is an excellent project to join the BEPSwap platform.


Additional benefits include:

    THORChain will acquire off the market ERD tokens between now and the launch in order to bootstrap the Elrond pool.
    THORChain and Elrond will work together to promote the ecosystem.
    Elrond will be able to stake some parts of their treasury into the pool to offer even more liquidity to token holders.
    ERD token holders will be able to stake ERD tokens in order to earn on trade commissions every day.

BEPSwap is scheduled for public beta in 4–6 weeks.

#9 This week in Elrond (https://twitter.com/radu_chis/status/1167476576705011713)
The last week of summer is almost over, but ERD team are still working hard.  Read the thread below for the weekly tech update Elrond #BUIDLs


1. Improved bootstrap from storage and syncing mechanisms in order to eliminate attacks when syncing from malicious nodes or when the database is corrupt.
2. Added security checks in order to prevent smart contracts to modify maliciously the balance or the state of an account into the protocol layer. Gas will be consumed, but the output will be disregarded.
3. Using the metachain peer processor, synchronizing the dynamic validator's data on the shard level. All of the nodes will now have the same view of all the validators' rating, their participation and their contribution to the consensus.
4. New transaction generation binary and improvements made to the node for receiving, validating and propagating transactions in the network.
5. Improvements for the termui console: added new metrics: an estimation of the time required for synchronization, number of transactions processed, etc.
6. Improved error handling on serial level DB: non-blocking. Fixed error that would put reading and writing from/to storage on an infinite loop.
7. Top-down analysis of the Elrond node and insights are being crystallized in the form of a comprehensive document.
8. General bugfixing and stabilization.

#10 This week in Elrond - Report from AdrianDobrita - ELROND team member (https://twitter.com/AdrianDobrita/status/1170005062153904132?s=20)





It's the end of the week and as usual here is the weekly tech update Elrond #BUIDLs


1. New EVM compatible WASM VM is integrated in Elrond protocol and has been tested with several smart contracts, providing promising preliminary results.
2. Expanded the documentation with information related to the VM, you can check the work in progress here:
3. Block and transaction rewards have been tested, validators and block proposers now get their rewards for the produced blocks and included transactions. This covers the first part of our economic proposal article.
4. Smart contract results & block and transaction rewards are indexed in the elastic search and visible on the blockchain explorer.
5. Validator statistics engine finalized, providing nodes consensus participation information. This data is now cross checked between shards and metachain.
6. First working version of the transaction generation binary has been tested. We can now stress our testnet with a high number of transactions between multiple randomly generated accounts, distributed on all shards.
7. http://Cryptobubbles.io testnet and game upgrade after processing 10 mil smart-contract calls.
8. Optimization of node synchronization mechanism in progress, integration tests with different scenarios are being developed to target the synchronization mechanism.
9. Improved filtering of transactions is in progress and will optimize the node memory, CPU usage and network traffic.
10. Automated testing processes are in place, monitoring & automated bug reporting have been configured for internal testnets.
11. Integration tests added for BLS multi signing and p2p integration tests refactored.
12. Several bugs affecting memory consumption and other bugs have been fixed improving the testnet stability.

6 Elrond-go repository wiki - https://github.com/ElrondNetwork/elrond-go/wiki

+ CryptoBubbles.io flash campaign

Elrond has actually had a very successful IEO at Binance and the value is very high compared to the selling price. but recently Elrond has been unable to keep its high prices due to the fact that altcoins are constantly bleeding.
What will Elrond and the team do to improve the price of tokens in the future?

Probably not. They already had a successful IEO, Mostly bounty programs run before IEO/ICO. Bug or developer bounty might happen.

The team can't do anything about price like most projects, They'll simply deliver and build partnerships that would increase price I guess.

almost every project that got themselves enough hype to get binance etc., looks perfect but what has been the difference for failure after all this year?. Every new project shouldnt be scared to face criticism, I think the team should be thoroughly scrutinized and investigated. The space needs sanctity

Weekly tech update Elrond Network

As usual, the weekly technical report of Elrond's hard-working team, this week the reporter is Iulian Pascalau (Core Developer) (https://twitter.com/iulian_pascalau/status/1172578783465017344?s=20)


1/ Compiled VM WASM libraries for Mac and Linux. Further speed and stability improvements. Developers can now deploy smart contracts on 4 engines - IELE-K with GO backend, WABT, Binaryen, WAVM

2/ Scripts created for easy compilation of the smart contracts written in C/C++ into an eWasmified binary, which can be deployed

3/ Smart contracts can be written in RUST and TypeScript using the EWASM API as well

4/ In preparation for real world use case, we've updated the denomination for ERD with 1e18, now every wallet implementation must take this into consideration and boost values with 18 zeros (e.g. to transfer 1ERD, value=1000000000000000000)

5/ Finished TxInterceptor validator engine that filters out improper transactions before reaching the transaction pool

6/ Finished TermUI update with new metrics like estimated time until sync is done

7/ Implemented a pools cleaner, a kind of garbage collector for unexecutable transactions found in pools

8/ Updated a new rest API endpoint that can output the same info displayed in TermUI but in JSON format

9/ General bugfixes and stabilization: fork choices are a hard problem to deal with. When stress testing the system, we are happy to find that most of the special cases are resolved

10/ General bugfixes (continued): But some bugs hide really well and bug hunting gets longer. Final decision being a good old refactorization.

something great happening around here let me have a look.. everyone promising near instant tx these days let me see how different this one is

How long ago did the project Elrond appear ?

Is there a recording of your AMA last August 20? I'm interested to see what the community asked about the near instant TX speed that makes Elrond unique. Wasn't able to attend.

I notice in your roadmap that you will be creating an Elrond DEX. Since Elrond is BEP2 will this be a DEX on the Binance chain or do you foresee Elrond becoming its own chain independent from Binance chain? Also, on your roadmap there is mention of a payment gateway. Will this be to facilitate normal retail transactions by humans as you focus in your documentation on inter machine IoT transactions?

 The weekly report: Elrondnetwork Technology - By: Robert Sasu (https://twitter.com/SasuRobert/status/1175097948109266944/)


It was a busy and productive week ElrondNetwork.  Read all about our technical  highlights in the thread bellow.


1. Added gas metering directly inside WABT engine, instantiated at the constructor, called only once at the node start-up. WAVM is the next in line.

2. First pre-release of Arwen WASM VM is ready. In order to further enhance the VM capabilities, an adapter on top of wasmer. This enables us to create a more general purpose adapter and to use package managers for WASM libraries.

3. Furthermore, the speed of Arwen is extraordinary, in case of fibonacci32 it matches the performance of WAVM, and it is 2x faster on string concat and cpu calculate benchmarks.

4. Started working on Elrond Environment Interface: functions and libraries for smart contracts, making it easy to develop the new dApps. The blockchain is abstracted, so the SC interacts with a key-value data and common functionalities provider.

5. Fixed bug in seednode that prevented new peers to connect to the network, as it did not advertise the public addresses.

6. Improved fork detector mechanism to prevent double sign attack and created an integration test for it, as found in testnet v1.0.16.

7. Added all the starting parameters into the session_info files, in order to easily debug wrong initial configuration scenarios.

8. Metachain nodes can now receive protocol rewards for every block created and added to the blockchain, making it worthwhile to act as a validator in metachain as well. Shards are obliged to process metachain rewards when they include a metaheader in their block.

9. Added multiple integration tests to verify if protocol rewards and transaction fees are processed in a multi-shard scenario as expected.

10. Created an eviction waiting list that will be used to remove older hashes and data from the trie database, thus decreasing the storage requirements.

11. Transaction pool needed a cleaner to eliminate all the data which is not valid anymore (old transactions). We implemented a small independent component to do the work in the background, when the node is not processing heavily.

12. Managed to have a debugging session in VS Code, using the Rust programming language and a WASM backend. IDE and tools will be developed to enhance the smart contract development experience.

I believe the plan is a DEX on the ERD chain, which would make much more sense to begin with.

Another week of hard work brings great results from Elrond team, here's the report this week.

https://twitter.com/iulian_pascalau/status/1182697654859509761


1/ Meanwhile, @Ethereum Devcon V we were waiting for the genesis block

2/ During the first phase of BoN we released a patch for minor issues affecting a subset of our validators. In less than 24h ~95% of our online validators updated their nodes.

3/ Work on a rating calculator: increase the rating for good behavior (proposing, signing blocks etc.) and decrease the rating for bad behavior (offline).

4/ Moved the Node display name to a separate file because it doesn't have to be changed between patches.

5/ Updated our test transactions generator in order to keep up with the latest changes on the protocol.

6/ Work on signaling that new version of the protocol is available.

7/ Improved sync times by refactoring and updating a portion of the miniblock request mechanism.

8/ Work on miniblock compaction to remove excess miniblocks generated for the transactions nonce gaps.

9/ Continued the work on VS code extension to provide useful tools for Smart Contract developers.

10/ We never stop bugfixing, refactoring and polishing our code. Not during the night, lunch or holidays.

A quick update from the CEO few days ago. I think this should be posted here for other people to see it. Here are the details.

Elrond to be Integrated into Samsung’s Blockchain Ecosystem


Summary

• Samsung has integrated Elrond (ERD) token on its blockchain wallet.
• Elrond will be an integrated component of Samsung’s Blockchain Ecosystem, allowing Samsung users to get secure & easy access to the Elrond token and dApps powered by the Elrond network.
• In addition, a first consumer app integrated with Elrond will be announced and offered via the Samsung dApp Store soon.

Really cool, ERD can go into the Samsung Blockchain wallet list. There are of course there are BTC and ETH, I haven't checked the application in PlayStore, after I traced it turned out to only support for Samsung S10 only.

Super excited to announce our Samsung blockchain app - Battle of Elrond!

A mobile multiplayer game where you fight your enemies to capture their crypto treasure.

https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/52590/samsung-blockchain-phones-set-to-feature-elrond-projects-gaming-app

Building useful mobile apps with just a hint of blockchain technology in the background should be the norm. This allows any consumer to enjoy cost reduction and privacy without the intricate blockchain-specific hassle.

Elrond & Samsung have entered into a partnership which will allow all Samsung users direct access to the Elrond blockchain. To demonstrate the seamless integration of blockchains into a consumer app, we’re building a mobile game with crypto microeconomics.

Up to 30% of the estimated $76bn mobile gaming market in 2020 will go to app store fees - that’s $20bn! The fast Elrond blockchain collects negligible fees and will be natively integrated with a massive consumer devices producer.

This can decrease prices, increase developer revenue and let players cash out their in-game earnings. Battle of Elrond is a promising example of how blockchain technology could help create and retain more value for gamers and developers.

Gems and stars are nice but $ERD is real.

With every game you win, you capture more $ERD.

Latest interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UM6mDfV_zc

I still believe Elrond is something very special and we are at the beginning of something very great. I think this coin will write a big success story in the next few years with such an amazing team of developers. Also the connection to Binance is something like gold in these days. The cryptomarekt is a revolution and Elrond will be a part of it.

Buy $erd more and more.. #14sat

I am pleased to see your weekly progress in development. Now on Twitter. I would like to add information about Elrond to my «Fastest coins/blockchains list (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5219074)». Tell me, please, at the moment, what are the average performance indicators? If we talk about the average transaction size, what is the maximum testnet TPS today? And what is the current transaction confirmation time? And what is the potential performance and under what conditions can it be achieved? And one more question regarding the declared sharding mechanism. Can we talk about it now, as implemented? How would you characterize the readiness of Elrond for industrial use as a percentage? Is it 90% production ready? 80%?

ERD that cheap? Any chance it would recover after 14sat?

16 right now.. Just buy before mainNET coming.. This post will be in history soon.. Cz hate product in low sat with low volume.. But the Busd support in mainNET launching is unexpected right? The day will coming :)

Hey gents!
I am interested in Elrond project and I want to buy some coins since I love POS coins. I have few questions: Is the staking working now or we must wait for the MainNet release? Also is there a guide about ERD staking i.e. how many coins you need to stake, how the staking works, etc..?
Thanks!

ERC20 (pre mainnet token), staking works: https://elrond.com/stake

beside that, binance just launched 19 phase of binance savings that the product is arpa and elrond. ERD holders can get up to 12% APR just in periode 7-14 days.
Detail: https://binance.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042465472

Thanks!


Thanks for the answer!
12% is also convenient for a lock-up period of 2 weeks, but since I am here to stay (in the crypto space) I think I would go for the 90 days and 32% APR.

BTC halving just happened! Elrond just ended a successful prestaking phase! That can't be just coincidence 😊

Holding my bags. And looking for a bright $ERD future. Can't wait for the main net launch and the upcoming battles!

Elrond team. The best builders!

Glad to see Elrond updates here! I'm very excited to welcome the Genesis launch of this fastest & most secure state-sharded blockchain to date!
If anyone here isn't in the Telegram group yet, join us! I can guarantee our community is one of the best & the most fun community out there ;D
https://t.me/ElrondNetwork

So refreshing to see in this blockchain space something so innovative as Elrond
As the whole industry is riddled with broken promises of fast gains.
From just an idea on paper to actually building from scratch a state of the art adaptive state sharding blockchain so unique and advanced that others require another 5 years to reach this level.
Hats off to the team for pulling it off and keep on BUIDL 🔧🔧 🙌🙌🚀🚀🚀

Elrond wrote a guide on his blog in which, according to the rate and frequently asked questions, everything is laid out according to the sequence of actions https://medium.com/elrondnetwork/the-elrond-genesis-staking-guide-faqs-4d6c4c9d8fe8

I was looking into ELROND today to potentially invest and the project indeed looks really promising. I watched a video with one of the Founders that convinced me to start preparing to buy a bag. I am not sure if this entry point is good though as it has already 3 x from the low, but looking at the fact that there are only a couple of weeks to mainnet launch and staking, it could still be a good time to purchase a bag. The use case I like best is the simplicity of use that they are building to make it go mainstream and allow non techies to be able to use it, especially in the DEFI space where older people have more money aside to 'invest'. I joined both the telegram price/trading chat and main ELROND group, so look forward to becoming a part of the community there too.  :)

Im waiting for dip

I bought a bag yesterday at 38 sats and today at around 43 but now it has been jumping higher. I think I might have gotten in on the high but it then reached over 50 sats today so it might be retracing  a little bit before it heads up again. Now Travala, the crypto company for travel is accepting ERD as a method of payment to book a flight or hotel it is listing on it's site so the whales now can travel around and pay in ERD, which is quite nice. I only have a small bag of 50k ERD, but who knows, one day it might be valuable enough to use for a holiday. I plan to stake the bag soon.

Yes elrond nice pump, already +750% from the low

There have been some vital development that has yet to be posted.

There are a lot of partnerships to be announced as well. I still haven't had time to join the Twitter promo but I did up my bags on this little dip again and just going to set and forget for long term. I don't want to mess with my bags and get priced out, although I have a smaller bag for the odd bit of trading when I get time. I think ELROND will perform well as we head towards mass adoption and making blockchain easy for the lay person in general should onboard a lot more people into Crypto at large. I love what they are doing with TRAVALA this will kick start a lot more travelling, especially as ERD grows in value and your staked coins grow, then you don't mind spending some of the staked coins for a little holiday break.

I actually have high hopes for Elrond, the development is massive! Partnerships are solid, curious to see what is going to follow up!

Last week in Elrond 👇🏻
Follow us here: https://t.me/ElrondNetworkAnn/435

Nice growth from $0.0007 to $0.0048 today. It's peak (https://www.worldcoinindex.com/coin/elrond) was at $0.006. I trust the price will go up again.

The next week's update is announced to launch the exclusive Samsung Battle of Elrond digital blockchain mobile game
https://medium.com/elrondnetwork/leading-the-mobile-blockchain-gaming-evolution-with-the-samsung-exclusive-battle-of-elrond-aaaf09b4687f

https://miro.medium.com/max/460/0*a4pkq-gVqznSaVSH.png

This was indeed just a test :-) I'm trusting my guts that Elrond will get a nice position in the future.

i think the news about mainnet is the main causes why this coin growing hard my friend

This is a nice short video about Elrond: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mITsgfxhu4s

I enjoyed watching it  ;D this might help new people understand the value of Elrond.

Ive been watching ERD for a while and do like it...also got ZIL and today noticed both ZIL & ERD working closely with ANKR....

nice article to read about elrond
https://brandminds.live/beniamin-mincu-ceo-elrond-blockchain-technology-will-open-an-era-of-unparalleled-opportunity/
Beniamin Mincu is a tech visionary and the Co-founder & CEO of Elrond, a highly scalable, fast and secure blockchain platform for distributed apps, enterprises and the new internet economy

Damn ERD is fast and so damn cheap to send.
took less than 5seconds to receive the sent ERD ....cost less than 0.002 cents, around 1/5th of a cent. WOW

I really look forward to the main launch to be fair!

I am glad I bought a main bag of ERD from around 38 sats all the way up to 95 sats, but even so I still think there is room to grow form here for the long haul, especially when main-net launches and we can all stake our coins. I haven't got a huge bag but if this ever hits even 50 cents in a year or two, I will be a happy bunny. ELROND is moving at a fast pace so i still think it is pretty cheep right now.

We’re thrilled to announce that joining the Elrond ecosystem will be easier than ever before, thanks to our integration with fiat-to-crypto services provider MoonPay. The fintech company offers direct access to $ERD with Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Visa, Mastercard & other payment processors, as well as bank transfers.

MoonPay is a fintech startup that zaps newcomers straight into crypto, with only a few intuitive steps and familiar procedures for any e-commerce user. It is available for 162 countries, including the US & European Union, Japan, India & South Korea.

self moderated. expect things to be censored.

Looks like ELROND is moving fast towards onboarding the average Joe into the Blockchain. They aim at making things simple and easy for the next crowd to come into this Ecosystem. I have made nice gains since buying my first bag of ERD and it seems we have now tapered off at the 170-180 sat range. I hope this is just a consolidation period for the next leg up, or we might see some retracement happening after the mainnet launch. Still I think a 1.5 cent ERD is still cheap in the scheme of things.

We're excited to announce that US provider @staked_us joins the $ERD ecosystem ahead of our 30th of July mainnet launch!
Our 15th genesis partner is a veteran in the space, has strong institutional support & exposure to US customer base.

BLOG: https://elrond.com/blog/us-infrastructure-provider-staked-joins-elrond-as-mainnet-launch-partner

Yep! with mainnet just around the corner we can expect ERD to grow even more. There's a lot of hype surrounding the mainnet launch also the development is in full swing right now.

Agree...but i dont see a small retrace, i see it shooting towards $Billion+
Projects like this dont happen very often....
Right now its a bargain, i see ERD at least 20 cents each.

Elrond is going to be one of the killer projects of 2020. The mainnet is not launched yet and the project ORION PROTOCOL that is going to be building on ELROND is already up for a vote for listing on KuCoin.

I was happy when I remembered that there are tokens on the exchange,the current price was pleasantly surprised, it is a good gift)

Binance just launched the 24th phase of Binance Savings Products For Elrond check out the post  here (https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/bb704eab8c624f8d857eae81bca8304f-Binance-Launches-24th-Phase-of-Binance-Savings-Products-For-ERD-With-Bonus-USDT-Savings-Event). The annualized interest rate for 7 days is 10% whereas for 14 days it's 12%.

On the more serious note, I am really impressed with the progress of Elrond development towards its manner. I was a participant of their Battle of Nodes and it was a epic. Transactions of 250K being sent across a network with no sweat i will say is incredible. I can't wait to see this chain go live.

Totally missed that as I didn't dive deeper in Elrond, I actually like the explorer! https://explorer.elrond.com/

It's almost there!  :o

but it looks vague with HARMONI that already exists and is like a clone of HARMONI in terms of the system to the nodes from ELROND

This project is amazing, great TEAM and great traction.  ;D
Wish success to all involved. Buy much as you can...

Your intro comparison chart looks cute.

Can someone elaborate on how Elrond manages to achive decentralization? (If it does at all, that is...)

Weekly recap for Elrond:

1. Countdown for Maiar.com powered by Elrond is started.
2. More then 4.7M stores will accept ERD via UTRUST
3. 60mn merchants via SwipeWallet VISA card
4. You can now buy ERD with AUD at coinspot.com.au/buy/erd
5. You can now buy ERD with RON at LDV Crypto Bank

ERD is getting so much traction, even though there was a huge dip during the day today because of the Bitcoin and Eth rally, ELROND has performed awesomely over the last few months since I got my bag. It is going very well and I like the fact the mainnet launch is happening at the beginning of this new bull run. I do hope that we can all grow in the ELROND ecosystem and utilize the project in many ways as utility now and infrastructure are what is going to start this next bull market. This is a quality project and am so glad I found it before it made it's big ascent northwards. It is still fairly cheap and early in its development so I still believe this is a good time to grow a bag to add to anyone's portfolio.

Please tell us more about the new economic model and the Elrondgold token ? Will there be a token swap ? ERD token will no longer be available ?

Would really have to pay attention during the upcoming AMA session today because this is the first I am hearing about the eGLD coins and, I have loads of question first of which is what will be the future of ERD tokens.

Thank you, I looked at the AMA, read Twitter, of course, the economic model of the token has become more interesting, Elrond now need to finish the wallet and complete the swap. The only old token name ERD I liked more.

What if you could have a new economic system with Ethereum-like programmability, internet-like speed & costs, Apple-like UX, and improved Bitcoin-like economics to bootstrap the system to global adoption with unparalleled speed?


New Economics: eGLD Reasoning & Operational Process
https://elrond.com/blog/new-economics-egld-reasoning-operational-process

The pump is not because of the migration to gold token, I suppose? Or, is it? Well I read the details on twitter but does not anybody think the "gold token" thing pretty soon will be shaped into something like reserve currency? A harrowing madness might of infected your brain if you thought this has a ghost chance of becoming a real world concept.

Hello, I'm not sure to understand, is Elrond going to use the SMPT protocol with subnets to allow the routing of funds with a capacity of 160000 transactions per second is that right? Is that like Bitcoin's spv technology?

they say it like that but it hasn't been proven with certainty

basically it is commonly done by whales because the market is bullish so just enjoy the price increase and the team works very well

Hey, can someone please explain to me what's the maiar access is for? Is it some sort of new project that will be built upon the Elrond chain? Or it something else?
Thank you very much

It's a browser I think with other features on it and yes it has to do with ELROND. I haven't downloaded it yet as I have been too busy and I was on the waiting list. So when I find out more information on it I will post here. There are many developments going on with ELROND and I think it has had a healthy run up until Mainnet. Price dropped from 250 sats but it has stabilized between 150-190 sats at the current time. It's a great project and worth holding a bag for the longer term, although I day trade also a little of it.

yes, it good project. but if see from the price coinmarketcap I think the price of the token ELROND  will fall in the area of 100-90 sat. good luck  ;D

When can I start running a validator node?

I will read this, lately a lot of crypto projects work together to build something great, let's see what's interesting in it, at least have a large community to support each other's projects, I just read about Elrond too

You're right. Collaboration between projects is a trend in the crypto industry today.

I seem interested in reading and exploring how the concepts are in it. because if indeed the concept is very special. certainly there will be many people who are interested and participating. I hope this concept can be different and give a real effect to the project

I hope they will do something about the price because ever since the announcement eGLD token the price is in decline haven't sold my bag yet but getting a bit worried over here lol. BTW what's the sentiment around eGLD? Is the community for eGLD or against it?

Well if you ask me, I think this is normal. Not because of the announcement but because the price went straight up and is normal to bounce back a little bit.
As for the eGLD I can't give you an opinion since I didn't watched the project in depth, I only have a small bag of coins. Is there a link about eGLD token, to give a look? Thanks!

Elrond is swapping their old tokens to new eGLD coins so 1000 ERD will become 1 eGLD token. So, in short eGLD will soon become the new Elrond token but with lesser supply.

Binance officially announced that they will support mainnet and token swap to eGLD coins. You can check the timeline for the said event in the article released by them.

https://www.binance.com/en/support/articles/aa864b2d4db24379b606249d0cba87fb

Binance has completed the mainnet token swap from Elrond (ERD) to Elrond Gold (EGLD). All EGLD has been distributed at a rate of 1,000 ERD = 1 EGLD.

Announcement on Supporting Elrond (ERD) Mainnet & Token Swap to Elrond Gold (EGLD)
Dear BitMax.io Users,
BitMax.io will support the Elrond (ERD) mainnet and token swap to Elrond Gold (EGLD). So, deposits, withdrawals and trading of ERD have been suspended.

everyone can read the official announcements from bitmax in the link below

My tokens at binance got automatically swapped but sadly I just saw that I have a few more ERD on a decentralized wallet is there any way to swap them now.

Some really great developments in ELROND and look forward to staking EGLD and growing with the ecosystem at large. I am looking forward to also the good DeFi coming to ELROND as well which will also help it grow over time as more and more people see the value in this as opposed to sitting on FIAT in the banks losing value every year because of quantitative easing and inflation issues. ERD is also very fast and cheaper than ETH GAS so I hope it makes some good inroads to the collect some good market share in the coming months.

Elrond already changed the life style of so many people who bought this at the bottom and now enjoying the smooth ride there. I already converted my token into eGLD but the title of the thread need to be updated to the new one. This project still have big potential to move in upward direction like they have wonderful direction to make this more useful in future.

Man elrong didnt change anybodys lives. Its offices have been raided. In china. First time hearing? Maybe, in the event in which It would not have been raided (hypothetically), Elrond could vie for ZILLIQUA's share of the market. Im still enthusiastic about making quick buck, no matter what coin it is, ergo I will try being around when it hits the floor again, this time with a double force.

After yesterday Elrond (EGLD) was listed in Coinmerce, this time Elrond (EGLD) has been listed in the Swipe Wallet, now we can Pay using EGLD at 60+ million merchants who use Swipe Wallet Visa credit card.

Wasn't the raid of TRX? Anyhow, I'm actually curious about what the development goals are now for eGLD.

The project looks good but I wonder if they currently have any DAPPs on their blockchain? Has anyone used Elrond to transfer money? I want to know about their experience with this project.
Previously there were many similar projects, a new type of blockchain, and the desire to replace Ethereum but now that is not happening.

No one can replace Ethereum I agree with you there 100% I have used Elrond to transfer money (ERD, EGLD) and, they were really really fast and cheap. I not sure but, I think they already have a couple of DAPPs on their blockchain.

Currently, many projects allow fast and cheap transactions to be sent. A project that enables smart contract implementation needs to ensure technical factors such as fast, cheap, and easy to implement DAPP on it.
Anyway, Elrond has done a great job, hopefully, they have more improvements in the future.

Whats the reason that they changed tocken ticker and made the denomination? Denomination had negative effect on price as I see (its like psychological factor, because more tokens - better, think mostly people).

https://elrond.com/blog/new-economics-egld-reasoning-operational-process/

Read the blog post I linked above it might help you understand why ELROND team decided on new a tokenomics and decided to swap from ERD to EGLD.

Another good step from Elrond team :D

ZeroSwap will integrate with the Elrond blockchain. ZeroSwap is a multi-chain protocol that aggregates DEX liquidity and enables zero-fee transactions for DeFi products such as liquidity pools, while rewarding its users.

This "zero-fees TXs" feature sounds pretty awesome, on paper, at least. But I wonder how the Elrond blockchain will make this happen, and avoid spam transactions at the same time. I saw this 0 feature on other projects, is not a first, but those chains are DAGs.

ZeroSwap is a different project which is building a multichain DEX they have already integrated Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain and, now they are integrating Elrond. I think to know more about how it will work you will have probably read more about zeroswap.

The only problem I have with this token is the idea of locking up your coins for a set amount of days.  You can't move them, then the price crashes and you want to sell, you're screwed.  Seems like a convenient way to get people locked up for an exit scheme.  I've seen lots of elaborate scams in crypto.  This could be a big one.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

What do you mean?
Is it mandatory to lock your coins or is this locking
required only when you want to stake the coins?

I’m pretty sure they’re locked when you delegate or stake them.  Other staking coins like PIVX  they’re not locked.  Seems kind of shady

Verifiable Collateral For DeFi Opportunities: OpenDAO Stable Coins On The Elrond Network


Various types of stable coins come with various types of trade-offs:
Censorship risk where the coin is governed by a centralized issuer
Trust risk where the collateralization is intransparent
Value risk where the coin is vulnerable to value swings via flash loan attacks or other exploits of temporary value fluctuations

Then why do coins have to be locked up?  We should be able to move them as we please, like PIVX. 

Looks like a pump on coin value as many big volume transactions are between same big accounts!!! Just to trap newcomers to buy.

Road To Decentralization: ARCStake And Disruptive Digital Join The Elrond Ecosystem As Staking Providers

EGLD continues its road to decentralization by welcoming two more staking partners: ARC Stake & Disruptive Digital

Their tools & services will add more diversity to our ecosystem and help strengthen the Validators network.

Phore is a fork of PIVX, why not use PIVX?  Better devs.

I understand what you mean, it will take 10 days for unstaking or withdrawing your coins from the staking program. If you don't like Elrond staking, then you don't need to join, because no one forces you to join the staking program.
You can trade Elrond coins on the exchange and there is no coins locking period

I use both :-), but let's that keep that discussion in other threads.

On the fact that you need to lock your coins if you don't like that part maybe Elrond is nothing for you from the perspective of staking.

Syntropy & Elrond Partner to Launch Technical Integration
https://medium.com/syntropynet/syntropy-elrond-partner-to-launch-technical-integration-ca3dd6ebf126

Yeah, seems pumpy and dumpy to me.  “Lock up everyone’s coins so the devs can dump them.”  No recourse.  I mention PIVX because it’s plain better.  Not sure how EGLD is so high.  No organic growth, is angel investor funded.  So defend your coin, don’t tell me to talk about competitors on other threads.  Help me understand the whole lock up thing.

High-Bandwidth Elrond DeFi Data Flows via Umbrella Network Oracles

High volume financial applications will always favor high throughput and low latency decentralized networks. Elrond is capable of scaling beyond 100,000 transactions per second and will always be the right choice for large transactional volumes, either from traditional financial applications or other chains.

Our mainnet’s performance under heavy load will however only partly be measured by how fast it can process data. The other part of the performance will depend on how fast it is able to transfer & acquire data to & from the off-chain sources and applications.

Could anyone tell about partnerships with Fire Protocol project? I saw that Elrond have partnership with them, but when I looked to their github - its almost empty and no development there. Why Elrond made partnership with them? Is that project real at all?

I’m getting more and more disenchanted as they keep posting fluff and not addressing our concerns.

Who? Elrond or Fireprotocol? I dont understand why Elrond is making such "partnerships" if this look like scam token? Their Github was updated last time on Updated on 19 Jan. There is no development at all...

Elrond DeFi 2.0: The Era Of Autonomous Banking, A Multi-Trillion Dollar Opportunity

https://dj9u8d5veywz7.cloudfront.net/content/images/2021/03/Elrond-DeFi-Supercharge-4.jpg

Technological advancements have shaped our world into something that was beyond what we imagined to be possible only a few years ago. From shipping in one day around the globe, and instantly sending and receiving emails, calls, videos, or other information anytime, anywhere, to the point of solving complex problems in milliseconds.

The financial system, however, has remained surprisingly stuck in the past, with its core elements being extremely inefficient. The brokenness can be viewed in the fact that in the high speed internet era you still wait days for transactions to process, pay large fees for processing, have different payments for different countries, and have days with closed schedules.

Perhaps the most painful is that more than 1.7 billion people still lack basic financial infrastructure in the world we live in today.

But this is also the largest opportunity for improvement. Largest in both impact and upside. In fact it might be a generational opportunity. Perhaps the biggest since the internet.

By adopting blockchain technology, states, banks, financial startups, or individual users around the world, will be able to benefit from faster and significantly cheaper services, gaining orders of magnitude in efficiency. Connecting the rest of the unbanked world to this new economic efficiency via the internet, will be the most important strategic next step.

Global Cross-Chain Liquidity For eGold And Elrond Assets Via DeFi Platform Reef Finance

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EvpO2JwWYAIQCYg?format=jpg&name=large

Experimentation with decentralized finance has produced a number of very valuable standalone products that often combine to bring even more benefits to their users. It is actually the interoperability of products and the resulting mesh of value flow that is at the heart of DeFi innovation.
For DeFi products to be meaningful they have to be deployed close to existing liquidity in order to immediately capture value for their users. This usually means building on Ethereum, which has the largest available liquidity but is also marred by expensive transactions and long processing times.

Enhanced Conversion Opportunities: Direct eGold To Euro Fiat Now Live Via Binance

https://dj9u8d5veywz7.cloudfront.net/content/images/2021/03/binance-egld-eur-listing.jpg

One of the most important issues solved by blockchain technology is the cost and speed at which value flows. Perhaps ironically, this is also one of the issues which hinder blockchain adoption, as cryptocurrencies are mostly perceived as assets you buy, instead of value you convert into.

This is why we are excited to announce that Euro can easily be converted into eGold and vice versa, thanks to the native fiat EUR to EGLD pair enabled by Binance!

The activation of this pair is important for the Elrond ecosystem, as it enables anyone to directly and inexpensively convert the denomination of their holdings between eGold and Euro.

Conversion available here: https://www.binance.com/en/trade/EGLD_EUR

What I like about Elrond is the following:

Elrond is now being accepted through NOWPayments, this is a platform that can be used to accept payments/donations in crypto. It can also be used as a mediator for mass payouts (e.g. commissions, payrolls ...)

NOWPayments has integrations for the following CMS systems:  WooCommerce, Magento 2, Zencart, OpenCart, WHMCS and Shopify. The API documentation is briefly described: https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/7907941/S1a32n38?version=latest

The usage of NOWPayments require a transaction fee starting as small as 0.5%

he MEX token is coming. This will be the native fuel and governance token of the Maiar exchange. Every EGLD holder will be able to claim this new token, and be part of the Maiar exchange ecosystem.

The distribution of MEX is a complex process, and we will detail all aspects below.

The short version is this:

The best action to get more MEX is to have EGLD staked
Weekly average EGLD staked & holdings considered based on daily snapshots
Daily random snapshots begin April 19
MEX is claimable in the first half of May
Here are the answers to the most important questions:

Who is eligible to claim MEX?
All Elrond addresses that stake or hold EGLD will be eligible to claim MEX. Exceptions to this rule apply to exchange addresses, and a few other cases mentioned below.

Eligible EGLD holdings:

• Staked as Validators (also queue) 1.5x

• Delegated to Staking Providers 1.5x

• Delegated in legacy Active Delegation 1.5x

• Delegation Legacy Waiting List 1.25x

• Held in Maiar w/ 5+ referrals 1.25x

• Held in Web Wallet, Ledger 1x

• Unbonding 1x

NOT eligible EGLD:

- EGLD on exchanges

- tokens managed by the Elrond Foundation: Protocol treasury

- tokens that are locked for vesting

- ERC20 & BEP20 EGLD

- old ERC20 ERD

Note for TrustWallet users: your EGLD balance is theoretically eligible, but the claim mechanism is not available via the TrustWallet app. The optimum strategy would be to move the EGLD to Maiar or a Web Wallet, and stake it for additional MEX.

What is a snapshot and how will it be done?
By “snapshot” we mean a record of all the available EGLD balances, in all the eligible Elrond addresses, at a specific point in time. Snapshots will occur on a daily basis, with one complete snapshot cycle average happening every week.

The first snapshot cycle will begin on Monday, April 19th, finalizing on Sunday, the 25th. The daily average EGLD holdings over this week will be considered for MEX distribution calculations.

The first snapshot cycle will bring the highest MEX reward, with several snapshots cycles done in the weeks that follow.

Broad Distribution And Compelling Tokenomics: Introducing The MEX Economic Model

Fast. Secure. Scalable. Inexpensive. Decentralized. The Maiar Exchange will be the first DEX/AMM to have all these properties at once. And with the Maiar app, it will also have 300k+ users on day 1, seamless authentication & a powerful mobile experience.

Perhaps most important, its MEX token will be 100% owned by the community, through the broad distribution and compelling economics that will enable it to capture value in a positively reinforcing feedback loop.

The primary function of the MEX token is to incentivize providing liquidity to the exchange. Without block rewards, there would be much less incentive to provide liquidity. Liquidity mining programs are unique to crypto and will act as both a token distribution and liquidity bootstrapping mechanism.

Everyone will be able to participate in the success of the Maiar Exchange, both from a governance and rewards & value perspective.

Bootstrapping The Maiar Exchange
To bootstrap exchanges of any kind and build network effects one has to address a chicken-egg problem where they begin with both low liquidity and low trading volumes. Many face a hard time kicking off a feedback loop but liquidity mining presents a novel mechanism to bootstrap network effects: incentivize actions that increase the utility of the network via native token rewards.

In short, liquidity mining (LM) incentivizes liquidity provisioning through token rewards (MEX). This allows liquidity to flourish and attract greater trading volumes.

Liquidity can create the following feedback loop: More Trading Volume > Higher Market Makers (MM) Profits > More Liquidity Provided > Less Slippage & Tighter Spreads > More Trading Volume.

In order to bootstrap the Maiar Exchange, we will focus on the following factors:

Maiar DEX will leverage a competitive incentive program to bootstrap its growth
Maiar DEX’s native token, MEX, follows a balanced mint and burn token mechanism; it’s a temporary inflationary token with no defined hard cap which can become deflationary if burns outpace emissions. This design allows the platform to incentivize a deep pool of liquidity, which has proven critical to the health of the AMMs.

Calling all $EGLD holders!
 
You can now see how much MEX you will be able to claim, based on the Week 1 & 2 snapshots - the others will follow.
 
Reminder: the first 4 weekly snapshots are super valuable and earn you more MEX. We’re now in Week 3.

DeFi Shopping App Curate To Integrate eGold Payments And Mint NFTs On Elrond

The collaboration will focus on enabling eGold payments in the platform. The app will also allow NFTs to be minted on the Elrond blockchain. Furthermore, our mainnet will be interoperable with Curate’s own PoS blockchain X-Chain, which will allow assets to flow between the two networks.

More information: https://elrond.com/blog/elrond-payments-nft-curate/

The @ElrondNetwork protocol & tools are created so any developers with Rust/C/C++/JS/etc can integrate blockchain functionality into their applications’ tech stack.
No new SC language means fewer obstacles, more devs & resources.
All building on Elrond.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E2o_A17XIAAUwPc?format=jpg&name=small

The Governance Smart Contract has been updated to make it easy for delegators & validators to vote proportionally with their staked $EGLD amounts. Added the possibility to vote with not staked $EGLD, locking it for the duration of the vote.

The NFT marketplace has been updated with additional information about the top bidder & bid value. Elasticsearch has been updated to get the full NFT history, automating the process of building an NFT’s provenance.

Released elrond-wasm 0.17.0, which contains:
- ability to create integration tests based on arwen-mandos
- send API refactor
- payment_nonce annotated arguments

Other notable achievements:
- Development branch update, finalized fixes that could have triggered out-of-memory exceptions
- 3 testnet upgrades that prove the v1.1.59 is the mainnet RC version & is working as designed

Fixed a delegation manager broken functionality for staking phase 3.5
- Refactoring & improving the state package
- finished code coverage on Arwen
- created Bonding Curve SC
- Changed the elliptic curve type to being treated as bigInt type is, in Arwen & elrond-wasm

Moved the bigInt context to one bigger new created managedTypes context that also contains the elliptic curves + further minor improvements & little testing in Arwen
- Updates on Elrond-Ethereum bridge smart contracts

Stablecoin smart contracts updates, testing + added another component (SC for locking stablecoins & receiving rewards)
- Rust framework: Using the built-in TokenIdentifier wherever possible + cleaning up some of the functions in SendAPI

Improved distribution of reward calculation from DEX Farm Contract
- Made changes to DEX & Distribution SCs so that we'll have no payable contract in order to nullify the risk that a user accidentally just sends tokens to the SCs

Road To Decentralization: MGStaking, ProCrypto, And Titan Stake Join Elrond As Staking Providers

The start of Elrond Staking Phase 3  has been a tremendous success. The increase in capacity resulted in 63% of the eGold circulating supply being locked for staking and outstanding demand still exists.

As a result, all our official staking partners have seen their capacity filling up quickly. Several new providers have risen to the challenge and have set up their staking pools using the Delegation Manager.

Today we are happy to announce that three of the new players are now officially joining the Elrond ecosystem as staking providers - welcome MGStaking, ProCrypto, and Titan Stake!

Road to decentralization: three new staking providers will help secure the @ElrondNetwork and bootstrap our PoS economy. (https://elrond.com/blog/elrond-staking-providers-mgstaking-procrypto-titan-stake/)

The @ElrondNetwork is built by a hardcore team of entrepreneurs, engineers and researchers who can literally build rockets.
 
Here’s a great example of resourcefulness.

Maiar DEX progress. Another step forward.

Last week, we released several app iterations, with the first round of early feedback from Elrond community leads.

UX has been improving a lot, with new layouts and dark mode implemented. 🔥

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E4zjUq-XwAIaE8G?format=jpg&name=large
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E4zjWqUXwAcJOQD?format=jpg&name=large

We've fixed several bugs, and received great feedback suggestions.

Over the weekend, another round of testing will be coming in.

With known bugs fixed, & most improvements implemented, on Wed evening we intend to go through the 3rd testing wave w/ some great community leads.

In short, next week will be an even more heavy testing week.

So, hyperfocus on heavy testing, bug fixes, and improvements.
