PRESENTING OUR NEW AND IMPROVED DEV PORTAL!

We are so pumped to share our new and improved #developer portal with you! 🔥

👉  https://dev.zilliqa.com/

It now features an enhanced UX, catering to all users in our #ecosystem - #dApp developers, #miners, #exchanges, node operators, and also contributors to our #Zilliqa core protocol.

The new developer portal is structured as follows:-
                                                                                                                       
1️⃣ Beginners - Blockchain basics, Zilliqa architecture, and ecosystem information
2️⃣ Developers - Writing dApps on Zilliqa with all the toolchains available
3️⃣ Miners - Setting up a mining node
4️⃣ Exchanges - Setting up and maintaining a seed node or staked seed node
5️⃣ Contributors - Protocol standards, guidelines, and architectural design information

Zilliqa Mainnet upgrade today (v6.3.0): https://twitter.com/zilliqa/status/1283309984780967941

We would like to provide a quick update on the Binance Staking service, which is being provisioned now. Given the interest shown by the community, we are fully expecting that staking on Binance will attract an overwhelming take-up which could potentially impact the annual yield. As such, and with the primary goal of keeping it attractive for delegators (given the constraints), the mechanics of staking on Binance is being restructured - more especially, in order to maintain an annual yield of 5-10%. This restructuring could involve a 'lockup' period with a guaranteed tiered yield (between 5-10%) based on the length of the lockup period. The final live date will be announced as soon as the necessary changes on the infrastructure are made.

Thank you for your patience.

They are working on it. Binance staking will be available soon:)

We have successfully completed stage 1 of our stack exchange site proposal thanks to the support of the entire community🚀

Help us complete stage 2 now by committing to Zilliqa's proposal https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/124271/zilliqa

3 committers will also be rewarded with a #BuildonZIL T-shirt. Add your Twitter handle in your area51 stack exchange profile to be selected 👕
Note: A commit is counted only when you verify your email on stackexchange.

Why are we creating a stack exchange site proposal?
A dedicated stack exchange site (like zilliqa.stackexchange.com) allows Zilliqa community members and developers to look at commonly asked questions and their answers.

Such a site is 'scalable community and tech support'; instead of asking Zilliqa related questions every time on discord/telegram, community members can search for questions on stack exchange and they would find the relevant stack exchange answer.

Another advantage is that stack exchange Q&A's are searchable on Google (unlike discord) and stack exchange has a good SEO. For newbies it's far more easier than joining a discord and telegram group and wait for someone to answer their question.
For example, following is the Bitcoin stack exchange site : https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com

If you’re among the few who missed the token swap deadlines of 2019-2020, and are still holding “frozen” ERC-20 interim $ZIL, we’ve got some updates for you, so please read this message.

https://blog.zilliqa.com/zilliqa-token-swap-recovery-plans-for-unswapped-erc-20-interim-zil-5220afa4a52f

In the months following the token swap deadline of 15 Feb 2020, we’ve received several requests for our assistance from people who missed the swap. We have been carefully looking how we might be able to recover these interim tokens and help convert them into mainnet $ZIL.

We are planning to work on a solution to enable such a swap - one that requires research, inputs from external partners and extensive infrastructure changes from those who no longer support the interim token. It will be a challenging endeavour - but one that we’re happy to take on in order to help the remaining ~1 % to be part of this fast-growing network.

Given the nature of the project, I am sure you understand that we are unable to provide a firm deadline right now, but please follow us on one or all of our official channels to ensure you do not miss subsequent announcements. We hope to give you a progress update by Q4 2020.
Thanks for your patience and support.

Regards,

The Zilliqa team
