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:

Maiar Exchange: MEX Snapshots & Claim mechanics

The MEX token is coming. This will be the native fuel and governance token of the Maiar exchange. Every EGLD holder will be able to claim this new token, and be part of the Maiar exchange ecosystem.

The distribution of MEX is a complex process, and we will detail all aspects below.

The short version is this:

• The best action to get more MEX is to have EGLD staked
• Weekly average EGLD staked & holdings considered based on daily snapshots
• Daily snapshots at random times begin April 19
• MEX is claimable in the first half of May

Please find out the important details related to MEX Snapshots & claim mechanics in our latest blogpost:
