US Shoppers To Pay With eGold At Amazon, Walmart, And eBay Via Shopping.io

We are excited to announce that US consumers will be able to purchase directly with eGold directly at Amazon, Walmart, and eBay, via Shopping.io!

“Drone deliveries, intelligent homes resupplying automatically, virtual shopping experiences, customizable avatars, and other such technological advancements will continue to drive online sales and convenience for everyone.

Polkamon Collectible NFTs Are Coming To Elrond 🐉

The Polkamon team has created beautiful animated digital collectibles that are available as blockchain NFTs. They are discoverable in a similar manner as mainstream physical trading card games, by opening packs - an entertaining activity that is gaining popularity among streamers and their audiences.

The collaboration will focus on making select Polkamon collectibles available as NFTs on the Elrond mainnet, targeting a Q3 2021 release date. Players will have a more enjoyable experience when opening booster packs and discovering collectibles, thanks to our mainnet’s high speed and inexpensive transfers.

To mark the occasion, a rare Elrond Unidragon has been made available amongst the collectibles that can be discovered by Polkamon players!

“Non-Fungible Tokens have incalculable long-term potential in any vertical where authenticity, transferability, and liquidity are important. The combination between Elrond’s NFT implementation and Polkamon collectibles is an excellent mix for creative experimentation.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

First 🇪🇺EU Institution To Accept eGold Payments: ULBS Registration Fees Payable in eGold

Academic institutions are always looking to reduce their own costs so they are able to focus more resources on the students and keep tuition costs at affordable levels.

Elrond blockchain technology can simplify the payment processes, reducing administrative costs for both the institutions managing them and the students paying for them.

“Beyond the obvious enhancements for payment efficiency, this collaboration is important because it exposes students to technology they can use to have a positive impact on society and future generations.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

ULBS students can henceforth use Maiar to make eGold payments, which will be processed through our partner Netopia.

Customizable Off-Chain Data Products For Elrond Smart Contracts Via ORAO Oracles

Tamper-proof data streams are essential for maintaining the trustless nature of blockchain-based applications. This is why blockchain oracles have a well-earned place at the heart of decentralized finance.

Delivering unaltered and trustworthy information is a critical attribute of oracles, but there are many differentiating factors such as speed, scalability, cost, and the degree to which they can be configured.

“Those blockchain applications that will explode in virality will likely transcend the pure DeFi implementations which represent the bulk of the current dApps ecosystem. The ability to integrate information beyond the usual price data in a reliable and adaptable manner will make a huge difference for Elrond developers.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

It’s Time To Build. The Elrond Standard Digital Token & Non-Fungible Token Specifications Are Here

Our implementation of the Elrond Standard Digital Token (ESDT) and Non-Fungible Tokens solves problems that are inherent to current implementations on other blockchains.

Furthermore, it brings a number of innovations that will further expand the value and utility of tokens on the Elrond Network.

🔹 High Speeds & Low Costs Thanks To Protocol Integration
🔹 True Ownership via Smart Accounts
🔹 Native Use Of Tokens in Smart Contracts
🔸 High-Speed & Low Cost For NFTs & SFTs:
• $0.20 to register an NFT brand -> no Ethereum equivalent
• $0.01 to create NFT -> $100 - $600 on Ethereum
• $0.01 USD to transfer NFT -> $100 on Ethereum

The ESDT features are already available on the Elrond Public Devnet and they will be deployed with the next major mainnet upgrade. Capture your value share of the new internet economy. Get started with Elrond tokens right now:

“Imagine what DeFi would look like if you can onboard millions, hundreds of millions, billions of people. This is how the world will look like in the next period - not in years, but this year.” - Beniamin.
