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.

I just checked the results of round 1, only 125 people were selected (about 0.35%).  the rate is too low.

With this result, I guess round 2 the chosen odds will go higher.
