Waves Platform secured a $120 million funding round for the Vostok project! Vostok is an enterprise version of Waves: a closed blockchain that employs the same consensus algorithm, Waves-NG. This means it will be easy to integrate both blockchains, and to use either Vostok or Waves for different projects: https://blog.wavesplatform.com/new-addition-to-waves-ecosystem-d9aec7e1d8c3

Today they published the roadmap for Tokenomica development, it's the right time to finalize it in regards to stable coins, KYC for token issuers, AML for token holders and similar things, which might be not that exciting but without them crypto always will be in its cosy niche. Tokenomica will cover all the infrastructure projects that they built on top of Waves, some of them were built as prototypes (fiat tokens for example), and need to be upgrated and separated in a different unit. Tokenomica is an independent project which will be managed by a dedicated team, of course he oversee the development process but the idea is to build a completely separate solution. They have so many technical challenges in front of them, he would really like to be more focused on tech, and leave business infrastructure development to professionals who will manage it as a growing business. Their goal is to build low level tech infrastructure and show the way for business development. And enable dozens of tokenomica's to prosper using their tech.

Yes all of you are right and the other important thing about waves is Waves Platform has had a great November with the release of their new mobile app and several other developments!

Their team have just released Waves Client version 1.0.28.

What's new there:

• New feature to enable pairing your mobile device with desktop app by QR code (Settings —> Show Pairing Code)

There is an emergency bugfix that just rolled out.
It is important that you update your Scatter Desktop immediately.

https://github.com/GetScatter/ScatterDesktop/releases/tag/9.6.1

Once the downloads for the bugfix version reach sufficient numbers they will issue a statement about exactly why, but until then they can't give out any specifics as this is a vulnerability patch.

The vulnerability was brought to their attention by a whitehat (who is working with Team Greymass on an initiative to keep the entire EOS ecosystem safe) an hour ago, and was patched immediately.

Deponent, a service that enables proving author’s rights and protects your work from piracy, is an excellent example of how one can solve real-life problems using Waves blockchain: https://medium.com/@sputnikdlt/deponent-io-to-help-copyright-protection-using-waves-blockchain-b00449d60dc5
