Bancor Progress Update: August 2018 In many ways, the world of blockchain is a tale of two cities. On one hand, there are the crypto prices that drive the headlines. On the other hand, there are the token projects focused on building fundamental infrastructure in the ecosystem. While the price of Ethereum dropped to a 9-month low earlier this month, the recent plunge is only a blip on the screen for most serious blockchain development teams. And Bancor is no exception, as the latest bear market doesn’t change our horizon. This past month saw a historic, real-world use-case of Bancor’s technology, new tokens joining the network, updated features in the Web App, EOS developments and the first security token announce integration with Bancor. https://blog.bancor.network/bancor-progress-update-august-2018-565fa1156dfa

Kronos is a valuable partner in Wanchain’s mission to expand and rebuild financial services based on blockchain technology. About Kronos Kronos wants to change the rules of traditional finance.

On 8th of August 2018, the aelf development team announced the first results of the aelf testnet v1.0. Since the testnet launch on July, the team has continued to iterate and optimize the network, including the transaction pool structure, network modules, consensus modules and cluster capabilities. In this round of tests, the team focused primarily on the performance of the parallel processing module. The initial testnet achieved 15,000 transactions per second (TPS), which is an important development in the commercialized application of public chains. These results were highly successful in verifying the effective performance of both the parallel computing and potentials for scalability. Zhuling Chen, Co-founder and COO of aelf, said, “We have hit 15,000 TPS, and this is just the beginning. Imagine where we will be in 6 or 12 months’ time!” The testnet is a key milestone that showcases the progress in aelf’s plan to promote commercial adoption of blockchain before the launch of its mainnet in Q1 2019 The results demonstrated that the aelf blockchain is easily scalable under the cluster node environment, assisted by the parallel processing algorithm. The relevant test environment parameters and test procedures have been updated on the aelf official GitHub account.
