1  Other / Off-topic / AEX Smart Savings, Up to 18.6% APR on: June 16, 2022, 03:36:52 AM
The decline of the cryptocurrency market means that a prolonged bear market is coming. It means making money in a bull market and cryptocurrencies in a bear market. Recently, AEX Global launched an innovative financial product that guarantees users principal and interest- Smart Savings. The up to 18.6% APY attracts the interest of many investors. So how do you know if it's right for you? This article gives you the answer from three perspectives.

1. Up to 18.6% APY
We compare AEX Smart Savings with other competitors in two aspects: Coin types and 180-day lock-in period. The APY of AEX Smart Savings is higher than the average.

Considering the DeFi Pool's declining returns in the overall market, AEX's management team has developed a new financial product that is more profitable and stable. In a detailed study, it was shown that by using coins to purchase mining rigs and generate revenue in coins, and adding specific share options to hedge price fluctuations, Smart Savings achieves greater DeFi mining revenue and smarter quantization.

2. Ultra-high security
Nothing is more important than security when investing in cryptocurrencies. You can assess the security based on the following aspects:

Reputation: Since BTC38, the predecessor of AEX Global, was founded in 2013, the company has been securely in business for nine years and therefore enjoys a high reputation worldwide.

Compliance: AEX is committed to safe investment and stable asset growth. It legitimately obtains crypto licenses and ensures compliance in terms of linking with fiat currencies to protect users' assets. Now AEX Global has obtained MSB licenses in Canada and North America.


Transparency: funds raised by AEX Smart Savings will be used to purchase mining rigs from the world's largest mining rig manufacturer, Bitmain, through our professional asset management teams to mine in New York, California and Texas. At the same time, AEX Global will develop a real-time visual data display to ensure that any user income is fair and transparent.

0 Risk: AEX Global takes measures such as option hedges to avoid the risk of lost  revenue and extreme market conditions. It also helps Smart Savings realize the prospect of guaranteeing users' principal and interest.

3. Low-threshold and high-yield
As the DeFi Summer trend declines, it is becoming increasingly difficult for ordinary users to participate in on-chain mining and mining with rigs. And mining rigs are costly as users have to pay for the price and maintenance as well as high electronic fees.


With AEX Smart Savings, users don't need to further understand how mining rigs work, they can start mining with one click. And AEX Global bears all the risks associated with maintaining and operating the mining rigs.

You can see that the minimum investment in Smart Savings is beneficial to users. And the assets it mines are hot and recognised coins.

Currently, several hot coins, including stablecoins, are available in Smart Savings. Since the number of coins is limited, users should hurry to participate. Considering that the product is becoming more and more popular and the hot coins are often fully subscribed within minutes, AEX Global's asset management team will soon add more mining farms to offer global users even more attractive and innovative financial products.

Conclusion

Aiming to solve the problems of the current market, AEX Global provides users with the easiest and safest ways of mining to increase their revenue while reducing the associated risks. With the above benefits, AEX Smart Savings is very suitable for long-term cryptocurrency holders and those who want to try mining. Users who buy BTC/DOGE via spot trading and join Smart Savings will receive a random gift worth $28.8-888!

In the first half of 2022, AEX Global’s national strategy begins to pay off. It successfully penetrated into cryptocurrency incremental markets such as Vietnam, Russia, Turkey, Thailand, Nigeria and etc. Global user volume and asset scale on AEX Global have increased significantly.

In early 2022, AEX Global started to plan its globalized digital financial ecosystem. The National Strategy, which is a market development plan targeting specific countries, was put forward in this context. Avoiding the strong competition in the mature cryptocurrency markets, AEX chooses the encrypted financial incremental markets such as Vietnam, Russia, Turkey, Thailand, and Nigeria, and attracts more global encrypted users to join AEX through a series of market support actions Global.

Taking Vietnam as an example, after the Vietnam National Strategy was proposed, AEX quickly established the Vietnam Foundation and allocated a special fund of 100 million US dollars to carry out the all-round development plan in Vietnam. AEX has done many preparations in Vietnam before May, including the establishment of localization teams and offices in Ho Chi Minh City, the recruitment of Vietnamese ambassadors, opening the green channels of listing tokens in Vietnam and the fiat currency VND channels, compliance with relevant regulation, the launch of Listing Desk especially for Vietnamese users, Vietnam endorsers campaign, and some exclusive activities for Vietnamese users, etc. A large number of Vietnamese users have been attracted to AEX. In Q1 2022, the number of new users increased by 1058% month-on-month.

At present, the global cryptocurrency market is still on the rise, but in many regions, it is relatively weak. AEX Global's National Strategy to penetrate into the local market can contribute more professional strength to the popularization of the blockchain and cryptocurrency industries.

3  Other / Off-topic / AEX AMA with the Diego Di Tommaso, COO of OVER, on MAY 31th, 2022 on: June 06, 2022, 11:05:05 AM
Read the entire transcript of the OVER AMA on April 20, 2022 from 9AM to 11AM UTC

Few days ago, MAY 31th from 7:30AM to 8:30AM UTC, the AEX team hosted an AMA with Diego Di Tommaso, the COO of OVER to answer the community’s questions and talk about How to Enter the AR Metaverse. In case you missed the live AMA or wish to review the entire set of questions, below is a full recap of the discussion. Thanks again to everyone who participated in the AMA. We’ll keep everyone posted when we’re set for the next one.

Q1:Would you please introduce yourself to the chat and share a quick overview about Over?
A: Hi All! I'm Diego DI Tommaso, COO and Co-founder of OVER. Over the reality is a platform to create a decentralized AR metaverse.
Over the reality is a platform to create a decentralized AR metaverse. We connect digital assets to geographic locations. Just like decentraland but in AR, we divided the world in hexagons of 300 sqm mt mapped 1:1 to the physical world, if you own one of those (OVRLand) you can publish AR content on that geographic location.
Use Cases range from gaming, to e-commerce, live events, art and much more,basically anything you can dream to create in augmented reality.

Q2:Thank Diego for that quick introduction! How do you position the OVER platform? What do you think are OVER’s strengths and competitiveness compared to other similar products?
Currently the biggest metaverses work on VR, our main focus is AR. In the AR metaverse space we're by far the biggest project with over 830k OVRLands sold to more than 29k owners. We have almost 900k users, 600k downloads of our app and 60k+ active monthly users of the app.
Also in terms of technology we developed a system called map2earn that allows for scanning physical locations and has precision positioning both indoor and outdoor, no other crypto project has this capability.
Finally I would add we have a huge market cap growth potential compared to decentraland and Sandbox.

Q3:Can you make a brief introduction to your team? What is the current stage of the project or what’s the attraction so far?
A:We're now a team of 35 full time employees + 10 people managing the social media channels. The two founders are me and Davide, we have extensive experience in IT and Business development, with experiences ranging from PwC consulting to working with IBM and other major technology companies. The project was launched in december 2020 but we started building it in 2018.
On our website you can find a detailed roadmap of the development timeline
As mentioned before we're approaching the milestone of 1 mln registered users and our app available both for IOS and Android has been downloaded more than 600k times. One of our first released use cases is a treasure hunt with pokemon go style. With that usecase only we sent our users to more than 1.6 mln locations

Q4:Which big brands and celebrities have OVER partnered with? Are there any clues to upcoming partnerships?
First celebrities we have been working with come from the world of football, we built an art gallery for Ibrahimovic for it's NFT launch and we're going to celebrate the Boateng marriage in the metaverse. Also we have several fashion brands on the pipeline that will release NFT clothes wearable by our avatars.

Q5: What will be the most important strategic action in the next three months?
A:First of all we will release the beta version of our map2earn feature allowing our community to earn OVR tokens by scanning physical locations with their phones. That is going to be an important job in our metaverse. We're going to further extend our cross-metaverse interoperability, already today if you own a sandbox NFT asset you're able to control it in AR on OVER. We're going to extend these capabilities to all of the actions of the characters, fight jump and so on, the vision is to bring cros-metaverse games on OVER. We're also going to integrate many other games and characters. Finally in the next 3-6 months we're also going to release Avatar AIs, you're going to be able to buy programmable brains for your avatar that will autonomously interact with users.

Q6:For our community partners, this is a question they are very concerned about. What is the simplest way to take part  in OVER?
A:Very easy, just download the app and start playing with our treasure hunt to earn OVR tokens and NFTs from other projects that are partnering with us. Test the AR experiences and the live events
Than if you like it move on to buy some OVRland (very cheap starting from 10$ each) and start publishing in AR with our web builder of if you can code with our Unity SDK

There are some living questions from the chat below.

Q: Is this your project only for elite investors, how about others with small funds, is it open to everyone?
A:This project is open to everyone to invest we have no big funds that invested in us and are going to dump the token like it usually happens

Q: Hi @DiegoDDT Does your project support staking programs? If yes. How does your stake system work? What is the requirement for users if they want to stake in your platform?
A:Yes we have staking program that just got fully filled we're going to release a new one in the next 2 weeks

4  Other / Off-topic / AEX's New Registered Users Increased by 1168% MOM on: June 02, 2022, 02:00:54 AM
Recently, with a large number of Canadian users joining AEX Global, the number of newly registered users in North America has increased by 1168% month-on-month. AEX Global's planning and operations in North America are beginning to pay off. Previously, AEX obtained the MSB license in Canada, and carried out the compliance with the fiat CAD, so that users' encrypted assets have policy protection.

As to the reasons why North American users, especially Canadian users act actively on AEX, Shergina Asya, the PR Manager of AEX Global, gave her analysis, "Factors such as the Canadian MSB license, the acceleration of "Global National Strategy" plan, the event for the third anniversary of AEX Finance, and the brand strategy upgrades of AEX have promoted the enthusiasm of users in Canada and surrounding countries.”

In September last year, AEX Global obtained the Canadian MSB license, which was approved and issued by the Canadian FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reporting Analysis Centre of Canada). After being licensed, AEX Global can successfully carry out business related to foreign exchange transactions, capital payment, and digital currency transactions locally, and is protected and constrained by local laws. At present, AEX Global is one of the few exchanges in the world that holds a Canadian MSB license.

Under the supervision of FINTRAC, AEX Global conducts business in strict accordance with local laws and has opened a Canadian dollar CAD exchange channel. Local users can directly use CAD to buy cryptocurrencies and participate in any financial activities on AEX; at the same time, AEX also publicizes trading details and insurance funds to provide Canadian users and users in other parts of North America with a fair, transparent and secure digital asset trading environment, and live up to their trust.

In addition to North America, AEX Global's “Global National Strategy” plan is also committed to building a complete global financial system. Since it was established 9 years ago, it has always insisted on embracing legality and compliance. At present, it has already held licenses in the United States, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and other places.

While operating legally and compliantly, AEX Global also launched a series of activities for the third anniversary of AEX Finance with the highest APR in the industry in Canada and North America. Low-cost, high-yield, and risk-free financial events have further promoted the enthusiasm of Canadian users and North American users.

Over the past 9 years, AEX Global has remained neutral and never committed evil, and adhered to the principle of the financial industry, which has laid a solid foundation of trust for the brand. After the brand strategic plan was launched in May, it has attracted the attention of global crypto users. The number of global users on AEX surged since then.

AEX Global is forcing the pace on becoming a top international  “digital life service provider”, aiming to provide 1 billion users with a diversified digital assets management service which is safe, completed and easy to use.
5  Other / Off-topic / Interest-free Loan, New way of Assets Increase on: May 26, 2022, 08:46:08 AM
AEX Global upgrades AEX Loan in the middle of April and first launches the interest-free loan. When the 3-year anniversary of AEX Finance is celebrated in May, AEX provides discounts on the 0-interest borrowing to further contribute to users’ digital assets increase.

Therefore AEX becomes the first platform providing interest-free loan service and promises to “never liquidate”. During non-celebration time, the rule of interest-free borrowing is that AEX Loan offers a tiered discount to the interest rate of such dominant cryptos like BTC and ETH according to the LTV, which means the lower the LTV is, the lower the interest rate is, and when the LTV is below 15%, you can enjoy free interest.

During the celebration, AEX provides discounts on the 0-interest borrowing that once the LTV is below 30%, users can borrow with 0 interest. And moreover, users can receive a 50% off voucher to help them obtain more discounts on interest rates in their future borrowing.

Borrowing in the blockchain field means users can borrow another coin by collateralizing one of their coins. AEX provides three ways to borrow coins: AEX Loan, C2C Loan, and Instalment, through which users can obtain the required assets with no need to use their own crypto assets. The loan from AEX can be used freely or withdrawn to earn income in spot trading, futures trading, savings, etc., to further contribute to users’ digital assets increase. There is no ceiling borrowing amount on AEX Loan.  When the LTV is below 50%, users can enjoy low-interest rate borrowing; when the LTV is below 15%, users can enjoy 0- interest rate borrowing. Term Loan provides wholesale borrowing with the longest loan term of 1 year. And its liquidation prevention measures can avoid forced closure of positions due to short-term market fluctuations Demand Loan provides flexible access to their collateral assets for users in 90 days. It supports the collateralizing and borrowing of more than 70 kinds of coins including DOGE, GAT, and UNI.

AEX's loan module has been operating for more than 3 years offering low-interest borrowing and fast arrival. The AEX Loan has lent 288104 times accumulatively, a total amount of 1.42 billion dollars.

The 3-year anniversary of AEX finance is in full swing until May 31. During the celebration, the discounts on interest-free borrowing can enable users to borrow through collateralization at no cost. All users are welcome to experience it! And by referring friends to experience the loan,  users can earn 10% of the referrals’ incomes from lending as a rebate, and at the same time, users can obtain up to 10000 USDT by referring friends to join the 3-year anniversary celebration.

6  Other / Off-topic / AEX Finance Data Report on: May 26, 2022, 08:39:36 AM
In April 2019, AEX Global launched AEX Earn. By April 2022, AEX Global has served safely millions of users for three years. It has accumulatively received more than 59 billion investments by over 13000 users and generated more than 259 million of profits in return.

As an old digital asset exchange established in east Asia in 2013, AEX always advocates safe investment and stable asset appreciation. This principle is fully integrated into the products under AEX’s finance. Users can draw interest through staking or lending coins to increase their crypto holdings. DeFi Pool and Staking also help users gain profits. Besides, through ASwap based on AMM, users trade with the liquidity pool to grab rebates. When Dual Investment was launched, users can obtain Token/USDT as returns regardless of the market changes. Instalment can enable users to lock high-value assets such as BTC with a low down payment. It helps users to join investment when they are underfunded.

Fixed and Flexible Savings--convenient and accessible

Fixed savings and flexible savings are the most common methods of wealth management in the crypto industry. After comprehensively reviewing hundreds of exchanges, AEX Global ends up cooperating with the CC Crypto from Switzerland, and Sense from Singapore and built a 7-fold security system to protect users’ assets. Several coins including stablecoins and dominant coins are available in the Fixed Savings. Users have multiple durations to choose, and can easily subscribe as they want. Users can choose to transfer their bonds for early redemption if necessary  AEX’s professional quantitative organizations can provide our users with higher profits than the traditional financial institutes and other digital assets exchanges in this industry can do, and at the same time assure the security and accessibility.

What’s more, novices can enjoy an up to 60% APR by subscribing to a stablecoin in savings. More hot coins have a 20% of dynamic APR such as ATOM, DOT and MANA, and the list goes on.

DeFi Pool--a safe and stable pool aggregator

Plenty of coins including SOL, TLM and ALICE are available in DeFi Pool. AEX will compare all DeFi programs and choose the safest and most profitable ones for users, keeping them out of the risks of complex on-chain mining and guaranteeing their principal.   The stablecoin USDT has an APR of 14.3%, the highest in the industry.

As to the widely recognised non-stablecoin programs(such as COMP, CRV, YFV and SUSHI, etc.) examined by the smart contract, AEX Global provides 20%-300% APR. DeFi Pool is the first to support the stake of some hot coins such as SOL and ALICE. 

Without the need to manage private keys, acquire resources, make trades, or perform other complicated tasks required to participate in DeFi Pool. With a simple click, users can participate in DeFi Pool programs without any gas fees and earn high returns easily and safely with the help of AEX.

Staking--break all barriers to staking

Staking comes from the “stake” of “Proof of Stake”, meaning the behaviour of the holders staking their coins to vote when the PoS consensus is forming. It is difficult to verify the content packed in each block and to vote for the information, for it requires an excellent computer device and 24-hour node connecting, which is not easy nor sustainable for massive cryptocurrency holders. The dominant POS public chains verify all nodes and holders and set a high thresholds for the nodes, but holders can participate in the verification process and directly obtain dividends via AEX Global.

Cryptos that involve Staking are gaining more popularity and attention, lots of projects are building their own staking system. AEX organized a management group for creating corresponding main nodes, and return the profits to users by interests so as to improve the utilization ratio of users' asstes and create more investment incomes. The yield, locking period and redemption time are up to the mainnet, but Staking on AEX Earn can spare users of complex operation and hardware requirement in building nodes and the process of verifying. Users can participate in staking with only one click and wait for the node production, which is the return interest. The yield will be calculated in a daily basis and the process is quite simple and quick for the users.

Four hot coins are available in Staking now: ATOM, DYDX, BTM, and YOYO.

Investment--fearless in bull or bear market

Dual Investment is an innovative product launched by AEX Global recently, in which incomes will be settled in one of the two coins, maximizing the yields of USDT, BTC and ETH. Regardless of bull or bear market, users can enjoy high APR. The top digital assets exchanges in the world are successively launching the dual investment, to provide high APR for users, up to 300% and an averagely of 100%. Because more exchanges launch the dual investment, the yield will fluctuate with market changes, but in most cases, AEX’s Dual Investment is the most profitable among other exchanges.

The advantages of AEX Earn

AEX promises to guarantee users’ principal. Despite the high risks of on-chain operation, even the extreme black swan incidents, AEX Global foundation will compensate for all losses.

AEX creates the highest yields in the industry.  The return depends on the daily yields of the program, but even if the actual yield is lower than the promised return, AEX will plug the gap with its own funds.

AEX has been operating for more than 9 years. Providing users with easier and more profitable financial products is what AEX is striving for.

AEX Global now is building a tier-one, secure and reliable, professional and stable leading digital asset management brand with multiple products available to users around the globe. However, AEX will never satisfy. We keep searching and studying new coins with great potential, and new ways of assets increase, to deliver all users with a safe, complete, easy and diversified wealth management service.

10  Other / Off-topic / Comparison of financial products on AEX and other crypto exchanges on: May 19, 2022, 10:54:06 AM
Many centralized crypto exchanges launch various financial products, then how to choose right products to minimise the risk and maximise the profits?

Today we will compare three crypto exchanges with a relatively large number of users to help you make your own decisions.

These three crypto exchanges, namely AEX, Lbank and Gate.io, have more than millions of users globally with a daily trading volume of 1 billion dollars or so, and all have operated for quite a long time.

First of all, let’s see what financial products are involved respectively in each exchange:


AEX’s Savings module is the most comprehensive one. The existed products in the Savings module include many functions and coin types; the recently released Dual Investment is very distinctive and provides higher profits than other exchanges. The next one is Gate.io with some regular functions such as HODL & Earn, Crypto Lending, Auto-Investment and Structured Products, while Lbank issues fewer products such as Locked mine and Flexible mine.

Due to the variety of financial products,  we can compare the profits, risk, and operation of these products to make the best choice.

Earnings comparison

The above-mentioned crypto exchanges involve flexible and fixed finance.

Flexible: freely join and withdraw incomes at any time.

Fixed: positions will be locked until the fixed term is reached

Considering the diversity of coin types and high price fluctuation of low market cap coins, we take BTC, ETH and USDT as examples.


Fixed finance and flexible finance are the most common strategies for managing your assets. AEX provides multiple periods for users to choose from and set a low threshold for participation. Users can choose to transfer their bonds for early redemption if necessary in AEX’s Fixed Savings

It is worth mentioning that AEX offers an exclusive benefit for novices that beginners can enjoy an APR of up to 60% in BTC, USDT, ETH and USDC programs. From the perspective of the annual percentage rate, AEX is the most recommended for those who are committed to holding dominant coins.

And the recent DeFi Pool can provide an APR of 8.8% in BTC, 8.8% in ETH, 13.5% in USDT, and 12.5% in USDC, with a 10-day lock-up period.

The Flexible term of Gate offers a lower APR than AEX, but the Fixed term offers only a 7-day lock-up period which is more suitable for short term finance

Lbank simplifies its finance with only Flexible earn included, but the APR is higher than the other two.

Dual Investment

Dual Investment is a structural financial product that does not guarantee the principal but provides high incomes, and the income will be settled in one of the two coins. It provides floating profits--which means the profit will be adjusted according to the so-called “strike price”.

The crypto market is on the direct impact of the constitute fluctuation of the value of the assets. The dual currency financial product uses this feature by investing a specific coin to achieve the predetermined standard to earn profits. When missing the standard, it will provide different profits in an alternative coin.

For example, if you subscribe to an underlying in the dual investment with BTC, the settlement currency may be BTC or USDT, depending on the settlement price. When the settlement price is higher than the strike price, you will earn USDT; if the settlement price is lower than the strike price, you will earn BTC.


By now, Gate.io has only two coins, BTC and USDT, for users to subscribe to in its Dual Currency Product. AEX provides multiple underlyings in its Dual Investment such as BTC, ETH, EOS, DOT, DOGE and FIL. And Lbank does not have dual currency financial product yet.

No matter in AEX or Gate.io, the dual currency investment can offer high incomes. But it can’t replace deposits or fixed savings because it doesn’t guarantee your principal. The risk of principal loss exists for the final earning is under the influence of the market conditions. Therefore, we need to understand the related risks of the dual currency investment beforehand fully.

Hope this article can help you make the right decision in dual currency investment.
11  Other / Off-topic / What is the Ethereum merge? What will it bring about? ---AEX Academy on: May 19, 2022, 08:29:44 AM
The “the merge”that everyone is looking forward to is deferred again. On April 12, one of the core development members of the Ethereum Foundation Tim Beiko posted on Twitter that the time of the Ethereum merge is not the end of the second quarter as scheduled. Added to that the downward trend of the digital financial industry around the globe, and Ethereum's circulation market cap has decreased nearly 65%, from $355.591 billion to $231.006 billion. Will it rise again? Or is now the best time to buy Ethereum? On top of all, cryptocurrency investors need to fully understand what the Ethereum merge is.

Given that the Kiln Merge Testnet ran smoothly in the first quarter, people are expecting the Ethereum merge will happen in June. When “The merge” becomes a trending topic on the internet, the FOMO caused by the Ethereum merge also partly resulted in the price fluctuation of the ETH. Its trading price has increased 23.47% within three months and reached $355.591 billion this April. Due to the second delay of the merge and the downward trend of the worldwide financial industry, the price of the ETH can not escape the bad luck and dropped sharply in recent times.

What is the Kiln Merge Testnet? Why can it exert so big an impact on the price of ETH?

As the last testnet before the upgrade of the Ethereum mainnet, the Kiln Merge Testnet was used to simulate the Ethereum merge by the development team. Before that, Ethereum launched the Kintsugi Merge Testnet. The name Kintsugi comes from a porcelain repairing technique in Japan, which is to repair broken porcelain with gold, so as to make it stronger. While Kiln is a kind of oven, in which clay can become hard material due to high temperature. So as their names imply, Kiln is the next process of Kintsugi. After finishing all the fixing works that the Ethereum merge needs, the result will be tested in the oven Kiln. Is it an article of firm porcelain or a pile of waste? The answer can be found in the Kiln Merge Testnet.

From the official statement, they have met some problems in the process of merging. As of April 2022, all client teams have in-progress implementations for The Merge, which have been tested by test suites, the launch of new testnets and shadow forks. Shadow forks, run against both existing testnets and the Ethereum mainnet, have revealed implementation issues in clients. Teams are now fixing these and regularly re-running shadow forks to test fixes. Once clients work without issues during shadow forks, then the existing Ethereum testnets (Ropsten, Goerli, etc.) will be run through The Merge. An announcement will be made on blog.ethereum.org at this point. Once testnets have successfully upgraded, and remain stable, then a time will be set for the upgrade to happen on the Ethereum mainnet.

The road to the Ethereum merge is long and hard, and when it will truly happen remains unknown But what is worth noticing is that Tim Beiko said that now is not the best time to invest in mining rigs However, one's trash is another's treasure. It is good news for those possessing many mining rigs.

Why do Ethereum merge?

Now, Ethereum is powered by PoW. The progress of miners obtaining cryptocurrencies through computer calculation is called mining. The mining income is up to the configuration of “mining rigs”. This process will cost numerous hash power, and due to its high energy consumption and carbon emission and the result of environmental degradation, mining is heavily criticized.

In fact, Ethereum has drawn the blueprint of its future development since it was established. As planned initially, Ethereum will experience 4 stages, including Frontier, Homestead, Metropolis, and Serenity.

Stage one to stage three were completed before 2020, so the focus is more on stage four Serenity in recent years. Its main purpose is to swap out the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism with a more energy-saving proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

Early in 2017, the development team of Ethereum launched an Ethereum 2.0 upgrade plan. One of the purposes is to finish the swap. However, it is not totally done yet till today. The Ethereum Foundation amended and renamed it earlier this year. The Ethereum 2.0 was replaced by the Ethereum merge plan, with the aim of the switch from PoW to PoS in every respect.

What is the Ethereum merge?

The beacon chain of Ethereum by now is apart from its mainnet. Ethereum mainnet applies PoW, while the beacon chain relies on PoS. “Merge” means the join of the beacon chain and the mainnet.

It will become shard chains of Ethereum after merging, applying PoS instead of PoW.

The mainnet will bring the smart contracts into PoW. And thanks to Ethereum’s completed history and stable status quo, ETH holders and users will hopefully adapt to the transformation in a reliable way.

The energy consumption of Ethereum will decrease by 99.95% after merging. At the same time, the high-end graphics cards for mining will flow back to the market. Panic purchasing cards will not occur anymore.

Differ from the hash power competition of PoW, PoS is mainly based on how long and how many tokens you hold to give rewards. The more tokens you possess for a long time, the more possible it is to obtain increased benefits and rewards.

PoS can not only address the energy consumption problem but also increase verification efficiency. It is the reason why Ethereum will be powered by PoS in all respects after the merge.

Many basic works required by the Ethereum merge are completed by now.

· The beacon chain launched

· Fork simulated

· A group of loyal PoS users accumulated

What will happen after the Ethereum merge?

1. No new Ethereum tokens occurs after the merge


According to Tim Beiko, the founder of Ethereum, no new Ethereum tokens will occur after the merge. The ETH remains the same.

The Ethereum merge was called “Ethereum2.0” or “ETH2”. But the Ethereum Foundation and core development members claimed in January to remove this label. The Ethereum Foundation wrote in a post that “Unfortunately, malicious actors have attempted to use the ETH2 misnomer to scam users by telling them to swap their ETH for ‘ETH2’ tokens or that they must somehow migrate their ETH before the ETH2 upgrade. “

Beiko suggests investors “doubt” any non-official promise of airdrop and free tokens related to the merge.

2.The merge will not decrease Ethereum’s fees

Another mistake is that the merge will decrease Ethereum's “gas fees” or exchange fees. Beiko said it was not true.

The merge will only help Ethereum to switch to PoS from PoW, and at the same time, mining would be out of time.

Many people may expect the possibility of “gas fees” to decrease because network congestion may result in hundreds of dollars of extra Ethereum transaction costs. But it won’t happen, said Beiko.

3. Ethereum is going full deflation

The merger will help Ethereum go into deflation. The number of destroyed ETH has exceeded the number of ETH obtained from mining. The beacon chain allows users to become validators via collateralizing 32 ETH. With 10.5 million ETH collateralized on the beacon chain, the yield reaches an incredible 4.8% calculated by the ETH currency standard. Once the beacon chain of Ethereum merges with the mainnet, the yield will jump to 10%-15%, 2 to 3 times the previous record. However, it is worth saying that Ethereum provides a limited number of pledge vacancies, and the collateralized ETH can not be sold or traded until the mainnet upgrades.

Anyway, ETH will act as the most popular cryptocurrency once the Ethereum merge is finished.

4. What will the merge bring to the programs on shard chains

As the development team initially planned, the next step after the merge is to provide scaling solutions. Shard chains will be put on the agenda. At this stage, Ethereum will scale from one chain to 36 shard chains and the efficiency will be largely increased correspondingly.

Shards, or block sharding, as a common concept in computer science, is the process of splitting a database horizontally to spread the load. In an Ethereum context, sharding will reduce network congestion and increase transactions per second by creating new chains, known as “shards.” It will eventually let you run Ethereum on a personal laptop or phone, instead of computers with great hash power. This drastically reduces both hardware requirements and running costs.

Tokens such as Zilliqa(ZIL), and NEAR Protocol(NEAR)applying shard techniques,  by virtue of their lower fees than that of Ethereum, have become the favourite alternatives as regards those programs spilt from Ethereum.

The Ethereum Foundation plans to launch shard chains upgrade in 2023, but considering its overall difficulty and the shelving of previous plans, when would the next stage of upgrade start still need to wait until the Ethereum Foundation is fully prepared.  the Ethereum merge has a limited impact on popular programs such as ZIL and NEAR in the short term.

The Ethereum merge might be the most historical event in the development of the cryptocurrency industry. Whether it succeeds or not, the Ethereum mainnet will not stop switching from PoW to PoS, and the mining at the cost of the environment will become history in the future.

A: As I said just now,  everyone can deposit, trade, and provide liquidity to earn TOMO on ASwap.

Additionally, users who participate in AEX Listing Desk can get token airdrop rewards.

Requirements for Listing Desk participants:

– The participant should register on AEX and Log in; (If you do not have an AEX account yet, register here: https://www.aex.com/page/h5/m_regist.html#/newByInvite?from=qacaa3:

– Deposit a certain amount of cryptocurrencies in your AEX account;

– Sign the Service Agreement on AEX before placing orders.

Participating in the above activities will have corresponding rewards waiting for everyone to get.


Q: I just heard you mention that listing desk is a novel word. Can you introduce it to us in detail?

A: The launch of Listing Desk is a very important product in the process of national strategy. The core function is: AEX cooperation project provides token airdrop to users.

Listing Desk is relatively similar to a traditional IEO project. IEO means that the projects issue tokens through the exchange and the user participates in the subscription with the token of the exchange or certain crypto assets. In other words, users' crypto assets allow them to exchange them for the new tokens issued by the projects.

Listing Desk is an innovative subscription model for crypto assets developed by AEX that supports the issuance (sale) or airdrop of tokens. Unlike IEO with the character of sale, AEX users receive free tokens in most cases with Listing Desk. If users own USDT, they can claim the tokens without locking them or consuming crypto assets, which is safer and more convenient. Important note: Listing Desk is a form of airdrop. When signing up, the account must have certain assets (e.g. usdt), but after signing up, the user's original USDT still belongs to him, but an additional crypto asset is added to the account.

The design principle of Listing Desk is to be of use to multiple crypto participants. The project can reach more than 100 communities through AEX; users can receive airdrop; the AEX exchange plays the role of a bridge between potential projects and users. This allows AEX users to participate in new investment opportunities at zero cost.


Q: In that case, security is the most important for us users. Can AEX provide access for assets conveniently in our country? And is it safe?

A: As I mentioned earlier, AEX has proven itself in 9 years of practice in terms of technical security and caution in the selection of cryptos.

AEX has been providing crypto services to various market segments in a compliant manner since mid-2021. AEX has licences in Canada, the United States, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, among others, which allow us to conduct foreign exchange transactions, principal payments, crypto trading, and other operations in many regions of the world.

The AEX platform has supported more than 22 fiat currencies. Users in Europe, Asia, North America, and Oceania can safely and easily exchange fiat currencies in AEX. With VND, you can buy BTC, ETH, LTC, usdt, bus, usdc and other crypto assets directly from AEX to participate in a broader field of cryptocurrencies, such as crypto trading, financial management, defi-mining, etc.

Considering that users come from different countries and are used to different ways of payment, AEX also provides various payment methods, such as visa, MasterCard, Apple pay, Google pay, bank transfer, etc. In the future, AEX will more actively provide compliant financial services for crypto assets and protection for our users worldwide.


Q: Our team is really glad that you found us and reached out to us for the listing. But how did you find TOMO in the first place? And what are your criteria for listing a token?

A: AEX has been concentrated on TomoChain, so we know that TomoChain has been running stably for a long time and keeps innovating.On the one hand,  AEX has committed $100 million to help build the ecosystem in the Vietnamese market.On the other hand, TomoChain is also very familiar with the Vietnamese market. Therefore, we hope that we can reach a long-term cooperative relationship with you.

About listing criteria, various aspects will be examined, for example,  innovation, stablablity, future development planning. TomoChain meets

13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / TomoChain AMA with the Marketing Manager Justin Yan on April, 20, 2022 on: May 17, 2022, 07:50:14 AM
Read the entire transcript of the TomoChain AMA on April 20, 2022 from 9AM to 11AM UTC

Few days ago, April 20th from 9AM to 11AM UTC, the TomoChain team hosted an AMA with Justin Yan, the Marketing Manager of TomoChain to answer the community’s questions and talk about the future of TomoChain. In case you missed the live AMA or wish to review the entire set of questions, below is a full recap of the discussion. Thanks again to everyone who participated in the AMA. We’ll keep everyone posted when we’re set for the next one.


Q: Could you introduce yourself to the community members? What is the TomoChain? How do users benefit from TomoChain?

A: Hi, my name is Justin, marketing manager of TomoChain Lab. Glad to be here today sharing the TomoChain’s ecosystem and our mission and vision with AEX’s community.

TomoChain is a highly scalable blockchain powered by Proof-of-Stake voting consensus and secured by 150 masternodes. TomoChain allows for blazing fast transactions at almost zero fees.

The TomoChain blockchain and product ecosystem enable development of high-performance blockchain projects. Since the mainnet launch in late 2018, we’ve built out an array of products and protocols for speed, privacy, usability, and liquidity that’ve been used commercially by businesses globally.

All the products that we’ve built are designed for the masses. Users can find all the fun and rewarding investment opportunities at TomoChain with a super smooth experience including swap, liquidity mining, farming, staking, DEX, IDOs/INOs, etc. I’ll walk you through some of them in detail in the AMA today.


Q: About TOMO coins, I have a few questions: What is TOMO coin? Can you show us the tokenomics model of TOMO?

A: $TOMO is the native coin of the TomoChain blockchain. Simple examples are BNB to the Binance Smart Chain, ETH to the Ethereum network. The most fundamental use case of TOMO is paying gas fees when making transactions, or using any Dapps on the TomoChain network. Other than that, TOMO can also be used for staking, governance, setting up masternodes on TomoChain to enhance the security and decentralization of the network. TOMO is also the most liquid token of the TomoChain network that can be used for liquidity swapping, farming, etc.

TOMO has a total supply of 100 million, with 90% of it circulating in the market today after 3 years launching into the mainnet. We have a deflationary tokenomic model with declining annual block rewards over time. The annual block rewards is now sitting at 2mil TOMO since the first halving event last year, and the next halving is set in another 2 years.

Btw, TOMO is also available on Ethereum, Solana, and BNB chain via our cross-chain bridge portal. The one listed on AEX is the Ethereum wrapped version of TOMO.


Q: Continuing with our previous question, could you show us how will TOMO coin be allocated and distributed? What is TOMO consensus?

A: As already mentioned, TOMO has a total supply of 100 million, with 90% of it circulating in the market already. The remaining is allocated to masternodes and voters as block rewards. (50% goes to all voters, 40% goes to masternode operators, and 10% goes to TomoMasterDAO Foundation which is a special account used to fund developers on TomoChain)
Anyone can set up a node and apply to be a candidate masternode. Only the most voted 150 candidates can become the masternodes.

Other TOMO holders can also participate in the governance of the network by voting for the masternodes that they trust. By doing so, they will also be rewarded with TOMO. The TOMO rewards will be paid out to their wallet address at the end of each epoch (900 blocks).


Q: And, what have TomoChain been doing so far in terms of security?

A: TomoChain is highly secure thanks to the level of decentralization of our network. The 150 masternodes are located at all places over the world. Not only that the masternode network is widely spread, but also the mechanism of selecting validators is completely random. TomoChain requires the signatures of two masternodes on a block to push the block onto the blockchain. One masternode is the block creator, while the other masternode is randomly selected to validate the block produced by the former masternode. The double validation and random selection of validators have made the chances of any type of network attack are as little as zero.


Q: What do you think are TomoChain’s strengths and competitiveness compared to other similar chains?

A: Speaking of TomoChain’s strengths and competitiveness, I’d like to introduce some of our products and protocols. The first one is TomoZ, which is a protocol that allows token holders to pay transaction fees by the token itself without the need to hold TOMO. This is super handy especially when it comes to commercial integrations and onboarding new users that have zero knowledge in crypto.

And with the product suite including TomoBridge, LuaSwap, LuaStarter, LuaVentures and TomoMasterDAO, we can provide a tremendous amount of support for developers in terms of marketing, finance, and technology. Let me walk you through these products and how developers can benefit from them:
-    TomoMasterDAO: a grants DAO governed by the community to fund developers on TomoChain.
-    LuaVentures: a venture capital fund that seeks to make early investments in potential crypto projects.
-    LuaSwap: a multichain AMM exchange running on TomoChain and Ethereum
-    LuaStarter: a multichain IDO launchpad available on TomoChain, Ethereum and BSC.
- TomoBridge: A cross-chain bridging portal that connects TomoChain to other blockchain platforms
All of these products and protocols are developed and managed by our team. Developers can apply for grants with us from the early stage through TomoMasterDAO, get seed investment from LuaVentures if they show enough potential, launch an IDO on LuaStarter, get listed on LuaSwap for trading and farming, and connect to other blockchains via TomoBridge.
For investors and community members, they can discover emerging projects with TomoMasterDAO and LuaSwap. They can vote for the ones they like on TomoMasterDAO, and they can also invest, trade and farm the tokens on LuaSwap.

To wrap up, what makes TomoChain unique is not only the superb nature of the blockchain network itself like the speed and low fees, but also the outstanding amount of support we cater for our developers, and how the products are well designed for our users.


Q: Can you make a brief introduction to your team? What is the current stage of the project? And what is the ultimate vision of TOMO?

A: Sure. We have a group of experts from different cultural and educational backgrounds. Most of the team members of TomoChain are based out of Vietnam. The CEO and founder of TomoChain is Long Vuong who has had more than 10 year experience in the business field. During the completion of his PhD in the US, he and a bunch of friends came up with NEM Blockchain with over 500 million USD in market cap at that time (Top 20 blockchain project in Coinmarketcap).
 
We also have members from different parts of the world including myself now working remotely in China, and members from Australia, Japan, Singapore, etc. That’s also why we have a strong presence in many countries around the world including non-English speaking countries, such as Vietnam, Turkey, France, China, Japan, Korea, etc.

Though we come from different backgrounds, we all stand on the common decentralized ground and move together as a team. We promote a positive community impact by respecting culture diversity, inspiring original ideas & encouraging critical thinkers.

At TomoChain, our mission is to accelerate the onboarding of millions of users by empowering today’s applications with technology that masks the friction of Blockchain, all while retaining its underlying benefits.


Q: We found a new word in your docs, can you tell us more about “Proof of stake voting”?

A: Similar to PoS (Proof of Stake), TOMO holders can vote for the masternodes with TOMO to help secure the network and earn rewards by doing so. But we all know that a key disadvantage in PoS is that in some systems, you are only selecting validators that have the most money. What’s different here is that the process of selecting validators at the TomoChain network is completely random, which significantly improved the security from the existing PoS consensus.

Q: Usually the project transactionFEES is a huge topic in crypto. How about TomoChain?

A: Transaction fees are almost nothing at TomoChain compared to other networks. You can make hundreds of transactions with less than $1. Also, for tokens issued under TomoZ protocol, users can also pay the transaction fees by the token itself without having to hold TOMO which is super handy for users.


Q: What else is planned for TomoChain in 2022? What do you think is the most significant thing for TomoChain this year?

A: 2022 is another big year for us. Next, we’ll be more focused on creating a better environment and providing better support for developers to build their own dapps and businesses on TomoChain, so we will be the infrastructure provider instead of a direct competitor of the developers. We will be adding more features to LuaSwap, LuaStarter, and TomoMasterDAO so the developers can make better use of them as tools to kick start their businesses. For example, INO launchpad is planned on the way. And many more exciting features will be announced soon as well.  We are looking to onboard more developers to TomoChain this year and provide better support for them to create awesome products and together make TomoChain a more diverse crypto planet for everyone.

In the near future, TomoChain plans to become a credible alternative to Ethereum with solutions that solve all of Ethereum's inconvenience on speed & cost. Moreover, building a sustainable ecosystem is in the plan as we onboard more developers and projects in the blockchain ecosystem and other fields like entertainment, education, and traditional finance

Q: For our community partners, this is a question they are very concerned about. What is the simplest way to take part in TomoChain?

A: The easiest way to take part in the TomoChain ecosystem is to hold TOMO and stake in some of the masternodes. For more detailed information on how to stake TOMO, please check out our cheat sheet: https://medium.com/tomochain/staking-with-tomo-the-first-basic-notes-for-newbies-ce7ff19f9fb4

Furthermore, users can also add liquidity in LuaSwap and earn farming rewards. Participate in the governance by joining the DAO community and vote for development or integration proposals. Discover early investment opportunities with our IDO platform - LuaStarter. And there is a lot more stuff that you can do at TomoChain.

Q: When will your tokens be listed on the exchange and which exchanges do you plan to list on in the future?

A: TOMO has already been listed on most of the major exchanges including Binance, Kucoin, FTX, and now listed on AEX. What's worth mentioning is that we actually won the free listing spot for Binance in community voting.


Q: What are your plans in place for global expansion, are you focusing on only market at this time?

A: Our team is located at different places of the world from Vietnam, to Japan, Singapore, China, etc. We are a global team and we are targeting the global market. but there are several regional markets that get more focus from us, especially the Asian market since we are based out of here and already gained a strong foothold in many Asian countries.


Q: Non-crypto user is very important for mainstream adoption. How you are planning to attract non-crypto users towards your project? Is there any upcoming partnership that will brings non-crypto user and real-use case?

A: As mentioned, our TomoZ protocol is made for integrations and projects to onboard non-crypto users. and also we've built partnerships with lots of traditional businesses and governmental institutions. One of the examples is that we partnered with the Vietnam training and educational department to start issuing educational certificates on the TomoChain network last year.


Q: Current NFT is a hot topic, but are NFT not just for art. Does your project think that more real world use cases will emerge for NFTs as time goes on, why should we take NFTs seriously?

A: We are at the infrastructure level for NFT creators, we welcome all types of NFT projects from gamefi, metaverse, marketplace to traditional industries. We already see some real world use cases for NFT such as the educational certificates that we issue on TomoChain for the Vietnamese educational department. I’m sure there will be more practical use cases for NFT in the future.


Q: Partnership is always an important factor for every project. So who is your partner? What are the benefits you get from those relationships?

A: We have a large global partnership ranging from tracking services in food, automobile, health, traditional financial institutions, governmental organizations, to all types of crypto projects such as wallets, oracles, liquidity partners, dapp projects. you can find the full partnership network on our website Smiley

16  Other / Off-topic / History of the development and evolution of the traditional mining industry on: May 13, 2022, 03:50:49 AM
Bitcoin mining has evolved into an industry with billions of dollars in annual production value, now producing about 650,000 Bitcoins per year. Mining has also evolved from initial mining with personal computers and graphics cards to clustering, specialization, and large-scale mining. According to the website BitChina, the entire mining industry currently has more than 1 billion U.S. dollars in mining machines and equipment alone.  

However, the huge energy consumption and emissions brought by the mining trend have also attracted people's doubts and concerns about environmental protection. Elon Musk has publicly stated on social media that the consumption of fossil fuels, especially coal, caused by Bitcoin mining and Bitcoin exchanges has increased rapidly, and he has stopped using Bitcoin to buy cars.

How much energy does mining consume?

According to the University of Cambridge's Bitcoin Power Consumption Index, bitcoin mining is estimated to consume 150.38 terawatt-hours of electricity annually (1 terawatt-hour is equal to 1 billion kWh of electricity), surpassing gold mining (131 terawatt-hours per year).

The energy consumption of Bitcoin mining is so much higher than the energy consumption of countries like Sweden and Poland. The entire Bitcoin industry requires electricity, surpassing more than 100 countries and regions such as the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Belgium, Australia, and Israel.

Energy consumption is accompanied by high growth at the same time. At the beginning of 2017, the annual energy consumption of bitcoin mining was 6.6 terawatt hours; in 2018, it increased 7-fold to 48.37 terawatt hours; in October 2020, the energy consumption increased to 67 terawatt hours. Insiders also said that the annual energy consumption for mining will continue to increase over time.

Why does Bitcoin mining consume so much energy?

Bitcoin mining not only consumes more electricity to keep the mining machine running, but is truly a "black hole of power consumption." What is the reason for this?

Quite simply, the power consumption of mining is closely related to the basic mechanism of operation.

The reason why Bitcoin mining requires incredible computing power is because the "registry" - that is, the blockchain technology used to record Bitcoin transaction history - is supported by a consensus model called Proof of Work (PoW).In the early days, it was easy to mine Bitcoin, and the power consumption for mining at that time. In recent years, Bitcoin's computing power has steadily increased, the complexity of mining has also increased, and the power consumption will become very high.

Thus, we see that in 2020, countries around the world began to struggle with bitcoin mining, and the first country to bear the brunt was mainland China, which once accounted for 78% of computing power. The Cambridge University Alternative Finance Center in the United Kingdom shows that China's share of computing power for bitcoin mining has returned to zero since August 2021.


But political interference aside, Bitcoin computing power in China has also slowly declined in recent years. After reaching a peak of more than 75% of the total network in 2017, China's share of computing power slowly began to decline. According to the Cambridge University Alternative Finance Center, bitcoin's computing power in China fell from 75% to 65.08% from September 2019 to April 2020, while the U.S., Kazakhstan, Malaysia and other countries saw an increase. During the same period, mining computing power in the United States increased from 4.06% to 7.24%, and computing power in Kazakhstan increased from 1.42% to 6.17%. In addition, Bitcoin's computational power in Russia, Malaysia, and Iran also continues to grow.

As mentioned earlier, the power consumption of mining is closely related to its basic operating mechanism, and Ethereum's switch from POW to POS "Proof of Stake" is the most striking point in the development of blockchain technology this year.

What are the benefits of Ethereum‘s  switch from POW to POS?

According to the "Green Environmental Protection Initiative" published in official Ethereum sources , POS will reduce the power consumption of each transaction by 99.95%, and the power consumption of Ethereum 2.0 will be reduced to about 0.001-0.002 Giga Watts (GW), while the current power of Ethereum is 5 GW. The updated Ethereum will also be more modular. This modularity separates the compute- intensive execution from the consensus layer, allowing the network's operation to consume less energy and achieve greater efficiency.

Comparison of current and future power consumption of Bitcoin and Ethereum

Vitalik Buterin has also published a news about the comparison of POS and POW. He believes that the security of POW, which people initially trusted, is overestimated and POS has more advantages in blockchain security.There are three main factors:

1.POS can provide higher security at the same cost

2.POS is easier to recover from attacks

3.POS is more decentralized than ASICS

When a public network project is released, all tokens are usually in the hands of the development team and early investors, which risks monopolizing the profits generated in the chain and even the consensus of the entire chain by a several individuals. However, since Ethereum has been using PoW consensus for many years, the tokens have long been distributed in the hands of a large number of users, so there is initially no problem that several individuals being able to control a large number of tokens through PoS consensus.

Since Vitalik Buterin first proposed a plan to switch to POS consensus in 2015, the POS protocol developed for the Ethereum upgrade has been repeatedly discussed and repeated in several versions, and at first it was planned to adopt a hybrid PoW/PoS Casper FFG consensus, and then move to a pure PoS Casper CBC upgrade route.

The current Staking pledge situation of Ethereum

Unlike POW, which requires the use of expensive energy to expand the blockchain, POS allows users to pledge ETH to verify block production nodes. Since the launch of the Beacon chain in early December 2020, ETH2.0's pledge has grown steadily. According to the real-time data of the Beaconcha website, the total amount of ETH is currently 11.81 million, and the number of verification nodes has also reached nearly 370,000, and their number continues to grow gradually. This stable accumulation shows that most miners have confidence in the ETH 2.0 mining mechanism, and it also shows that the demand for ETH  through mining is gradually increasing.


Data scientist Osho Jha believes that the Pledge is the key to making ETH a store of value. Essentially, the pledge will motivate nodes to hold as much ETH as possible and use it to participate in the nodes' verification behavior. For investors, the motivation to pledge consists of systematic incentives similar to receiving pledge income.

The minimum threshold for participation in the pledge is 32 ETH. After validators agree to pledge their tokens, the pledged tokens are blocked, which attracts some miners to mine by blocking ETH. Since 2016, the number of addresses with 32 or more Ethereum has been in line with the general trend of changes in market prices. An increase in this value indicates that there will be more and more POS mining participants in the ETH ecosystem in the future, as users must have 32 ETH as a requirement to become ETH 2.0 validators. Therefore, a significant increase in the number of addresses with more than 32 ETH means that the number of validators will gradually increase, which will boost the demand for ETH in the market.

Looking at the whole mining industry environment, the transformation of the Ethereum consensus mechanism is not only an expression of a general trend where POS is becoming more popular nowadays. At the same time, it is the first mainstream public chain project to switch from POW to POS and promotes the development of POS consensus. The performance improvement and rate reduction achieved by upgrading the main network will enable it to host more blockchain projects and commercial application scenarios as infrastructure in the future.

As the leading digital currency, Bitcoin has drawn public attention to blockchain technology and digital currency, and there is no need to talk about its status and importance.The effect of halving the cycle every four years also gives Bitcoin the attribute of currency deflation.Regardless of the current market return, accumulated value and commercial value gradually recognized by the public, or the belief in the "decentralization" that Bitcoin represents, people will mine, whether through POW or POS.

The "mining" of the future is not only completely different from bitcoin mining in the past, but we can not even imagine it today. Remember, when we say that "the old era is over," we forget the other meaning of that phrase, which is the beginning of a completely new era.

In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published a thesis on the creation of Bitcoin "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System", which introduce Bitcoin's PoW consensus mechanism and initiated a wave of mining in the blockchain industry. From computer mining with a processor under the POW mechanism to mining on GPU, FPGA and ASIC, positional mining POS mechanism, conceptual mining DeFi, GMT's Move to Earn, GameFi mining, etc., various groups of miners continue to bring new momentum and vitality to the crypto market and blockchain today.

The miners who make up the dynamics of this industry are driving the crypto consensus

On blockchains, those who mine on public chains are fundamental to the development of this industry, as they directly create the crypto consensus. Due to the need for mining, numerous mining rig manufacturers have emerged, such as Bitmain, Canaan, Ebon, Innosilicon, etc., whose mining farms covered countries such as the US, Canada and Iran and developed huge mining pools with tens of thousands PH /s of hashrates, such as Foundry USA, AntPool, F2Pool, etc.


Miners lay the foundation for the development of the industry

The emergence and growth of numerous coins such as BTC, ETH, FIL depends on miners. And at the same time, they jointly maintain the security of blockchains and the stable operation of the Internet. Basically, blockchain is a tool of mass collaboration and miner participation has enabled the global vision of barrier-free collaboration to be implemented first in the field of encryption. Despite on the competition between miners regardless of what coins or programmes they are involved in or where they live in the world, they have all shown that the crypto market is becoming an indispensable part of the human financial system.


Miners boost the diversification of crypto economic model

As various crypto assets proliferate and consensus mechanisms and smart contract techniques advance,  in addition to the prevalence of POS mining, DeFi mining projects also began to appear on the network.  With the emergence of new concepts such as WEB 3, Metaverse and DAO, the word miner is being defined in a broader sense. Yield farming, based on new and more scientific economic models, allows the crypto industry to take a step in a more reasonable direction. This is what the consensus mechanism behind Yield Farming can do.


Interest free loan on AEX Global, free from bear market

AEX Global was established in 2013 and has been firmly linked to miners from the beginning. On the one hand, AEX launches its savings business. Fixed savings and flexible savings can help meet the expectation of returns through deposits for miners. On the other hand, products such as DeFi Pool and Staking follow the savings business to help those who have no idea about mining to earn high income by filtering out good projects and doing the actual mining for users. Meanwhile, users can get rid of the complicated operation of on-chain liquidity mining through the innovative Aswap.


Lending service is one of the most important needs of miners; many of them start holding coins out of conviction. AEX offers three ways to borrow coins: AEX Loan, C2C Loan, Instalment, through which users can get the assets they need without having to use their own crypto assets. Term Loan offers wholesale borrowing with a loan term of 1 year. Demand Loan provides flexible access for users. C2C Loan acts as an intermediary in customer-to-customer lending. Users' diverse loan and investment needs can be easily satisfied, and idle assets can also generate income through C2C Loan.

As a thank you to miners, AEX will launch an interest-free loan promotion during the upcoming holidays - never liquidate! AEX's interest-free loan promotion aims to maximise miners' profits. If users collateralize their assets such as BTC, ETH for borrowing and the LTV is below 15%, they will enjoy an interest-free rate. This facilitates the miners' situation that the current price of the crypto market remains low while the miners need more and more assets to implement. In addition to the interest-free rate, AEX makes a "never liquidate" promise to avoid forced closure of positions due to short-term market fluctuations, allowing miners to borrow without hindrance.

As the first platform to offer an interest-free loan service and a promise to "never liquidate," AEX Global has closed loans 289,297 times, totaling $1.6 billion, perfectly meeting the various needs of miners. We wish all miners a happy May Day!
