Q&A Session with Credits CEO, Igor Chugunov

Q1: Why not we have defi project like polygon and BSC on CS?

A: Like I said, we are not engaged in the development of DeFi solutions.  There are no such plans as we have more priority to launch our main services. The same thing goes for NFTs. At the moment, we see no sort of value in this. However, third-party developers are always welcomed. Subsequently, subject to the availability of the right conditions and clear benefits for the Credits ecosystem, some things might be considered in the future.

Q2: When everything is completed with exact dates not just we are working, we will, we are about?

A: We understand your concern and desire to get ready-made products. Since we are dealing with not the simplest technology and functionality, we have to start from various factors, including interaction with our partners to build the necessary consensus on priorities and strategies to ensure sustainable development. Thus, the exact dates have not yet been confirmed.

Q3. What is the status of ledger integration? Suppose to happen Q1 2020

A: The ledger integration is currently not being performed. In the short term, I can not provide any specific dates.

xLQDR Launch: Double Rewards Weighted Governance, and Expanding the Ecosystem

Phase One:
To be released in the coming days
Locking Boosts and Revenue-Sharing Vault
Users can lock their LQDR for a period of 1 week to 2 years to earn xLQDR. You will receive a bigger boost of xLQDR the longer you lock your tokens.



Users who hold xLQDR will earn, on top of LQDR, a share of the deposit fees in FTM collected by the protocol in our Revenue Sharing Vault. Once we have migrated our masterchef contract, we will also incentivize the LQDR-FTM and LQDR-fUSDT pools with double rewards of LQDR + FTM for a limited period of time.

COTI’s Cross-Chain Bridge: Update

We continue to improve and upgrade the bridge features and performance, with every iteration of opening the bridge. Our goal is to have a seamless swapping process, with a bridge continuously open.

In the past few weeks, our tech team conducted several successful tests with the latest one being a reprocessing procedure which allows the bridge to automatically reprocess ERC20 to COTI Native (and vice versa) delayed transactions. Other improvements include increased scalability and improved flows from Native to Ethereum.

With the latest upgrades, we will open the bridge again this Thursday with increased individual cap (2,500 $COTI) and increased overall cap.

Gamers Soon Buy into VulcanVerse Using Credit Card

At the moment users first need to buy crypto from a third-party exchange, then swap that crypto for PYR. After that, the PYR tokens need to be moved to the marketplace to acquire an NFT. This rather complex process will be circumvented with the introduction of a fiat on-ramp, allowing VulcanVerse users to buy PYR tokens on the Polygon blockchain using a credit card.

Vulcan Forged is working with Ramp Network, which will take care of all the credit card payments. Furthermore, the game company works with Venly, formerly known as Arkane Network, QuickSwap, and 1inch. Everything happening within the Vulcan Forged ecosystem, needs to be accessible through the native wallet. These companies, which all have a stake in the Polygon blockchain ecosystem, will support Vulcan’s efforts.



The Vulcan market heating up

News Discord !

Regarding Margin Traders not being able to exit positions:

Some users are experiencing issues with closing margin trading positions, because the AMM price diverges more than 5% from the oracle rate. In such cases the protocol refuses to close the position to protect the user from price manipulation attacks.

Now, because we are encouraging users to convert their stable coins into XUSD, a huge chunk of liquidity was removed from the system over the weekend. This means that the AMM gets out of balance much faster and trades are being closed with higher slippage.

We are aware of the situation and already in the process of transferring rUSDT to the system to serve as liquidity in the AMM pool and allow all users to exit their positions.

However, this means we cannot use the Sovryn token bridge, but the IOV token bridge, which takes 24h for a transfer.

============

Additional information for users seeing a difference in asset values in their portfolio in comparison to the the swap interface:

The portfolio takes the asset rate from the oracle and multiplies that rate by how much a user has in his wallet to show the approximate value of usd.

When the user goes to swap page and wants to swap his entire balance he may see a different usd value for bigger asset amounts because swaps has slightly different rate than the  global rate because of actual pool liquidity at that time.

---

@Ororo shared the Sovryn  backstory with defi prime, and explained how we are building a bitcoin-based DeFi platform in this article:

https://defiprime.com/sovryn
For assets that doesn't have price oracle, the portfolio page converts assets to RBTC and RBTC to USDT to get an approximate usd amount, while the swap contract may pick another liquidity path for swapping assets which may have impact on the actual price.

Genshiro Integrates Chainlink Price Feeds In Its NFT Tokens

Genshiro is going to release a limited run collection of NFTs featuring cats pertaining to different cryptocurrencies. BTC, ETH, DOT, KSM, GENS, and EQ will all be represented here, and they’ll be available for sale on Rarible, the well-known NFT marketplace. All the money raised from the NFT sale will go toward covering our operational costs, primarily funding our bid for the Kusama parachain auction.

These NFTs are issued on Ethereum and come with a fun feature that depends on the real-time prices of these various cryptocurrencies. By way of the Chainlink integration, when the underlying assets cross a certain price threshold — when BTC crosses $100,000, for example — it unlocks a golden version of each cat NFT. Our Genshiro cats are like trading cards that can change appearance based on real-world price data!

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.

Hypersign and Polygon Partner to bring Decentralized Identity and Security to the Global Blockchain Community

Imagine a world where there can be mass adoption of decentralized applications without the threat of data breaches? A borderless economy in which people and machines collaborate and exchange value globally and freely, but with the highest grade of security? A world without gatekeepers or intermediaries, but there is absolute trust and your identity is fully protected? A world in which communities thrive, unconstrained by artificial borders and archaic regulations, but through self-governance, and control of personal data rests with the individuals to whom it belongs?

Sounds almost surreal. But for those who have been working on making a decentralized future a reality, this is just expected. The world is well on its way to making this happen.
