eGold Backed Stable Coins Come To The Elrond Network Via OIN Finance

In preparation for the Maiar Exchange launch, we are excited to announce that we are working with OIN Finance to issue the first EGLD backed stable coin on the Elrond mainnet!

Our collaboration will focus on deploying the OINDAO framework on the Elrond Network to issue an eGold backed USD-pegged stable coin. In addition, a portion of the OIN token supply will be minted on our mainnet in the ESDT format. Both tokens can be used to pursue DeFi opportunities on the Maiar Exchange.

“The eGold currency has been conceived to be a store of value with powerful utility in the Elrond ecosystem. Its use as collateral for stable coins allows holders to access liquidity and engage in additional DeFi opportunities which will further drive ecosystem growth.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond Network CEO.

Essential Tools For Advancing Finance: Flash Loans Come To Elrond DeFi Via Equalizer

Through the integration of our mainnet into the Equalizer flash loans marketplace, Lenders will be able to contribute eGold and other assets issued on the Elrond Network into liquidity pools, and Borrowers will be able to take out flash loans for capitalizing on opportunities on the Maiar Exchange and other DeFi platforms deployed on our blockchain.

"Flash Loans have been capturing the attention of the DeFi space because they enable complex financial systems to quickly converge to a market optimum, while also acting as a correction mechanism for high-risk experimental products.

A DeFi system correctly designed to accommodate this innovative tool has transformational potential for global finance. We look forward to seeing Equalizer go live on our mainnet." said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond Network CEO.

Road To Decentralization: MG Staking, ProCrypto and Titan Stake Join Elrond As Staking Providers

MGStaking has risen from our Validators community and already rallied quite a large customer base around themselves, thanks to their being helpful and supportive in a consistent manner. Their knowledge about Elrond staking makes them well-positioned to offer staking services and support for customers who are less familiar with the relevant procedures.

ProCrypto is a staking provider utilizing high-end infrastructure to offer premium staking services. The team has a long-standing relationship with our German offices and is committed to supporting the Elrond Network with resources, community education, and business development services to further the growth of the ecosystem.

Titan Stake are early investors in the Elrond Network who staked their long-term holdings for the security of our mainnet since early on. They operate 15 nodes on oversized infrastructure split in multiple datacenters, as per their “zero missed blocks” strategy.

We officially welcome our collaborators into the Elrond ecosystem.

@Xp_network To Build The First Elrond <> Polkadot Bridge For Multi-Chain NFT dApps Deployment

XP Network is developing a platform that enables anyone to build NFT dApps on multiple chains. Their design will allow for applications to be built using a no-code graphical interface and then easily deployed or migrated to multiple chains, such as Ethereum, Polkadot, BSC, Facebook’s Diem, and Elrond.

Because XP Network is Polkadot-native, the first step of our collaboration will be to develop a bridge between Polkadot and Elrond. This will allow the bidirectional flow of assets between XP Network’s Polkadot parachain and our mainnet, and finally the deployment of NFT dApps

“The first bridge between Elrond and a Substrate-based blockchain is an important step towards a financial system where value can freely flow through a heterogeneous technological landscape. XP.network have been pushing hard and building at an outstanding pace. We look forward to seeing their first NFT dApps deployed on our mainnet.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond Network CEO.

Bitcoin Is Now Available In Maiar, The Fastest Gateway Into The Internet Of Money

The next billion people that will get into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will be able to do so in seconds, using just a phone.

“Bitcoin has carved a path for highly secure cryptocurrencies with strong store of value properties to become accepted in traditional finance, irrevocably establishing the digital asset class. Its addition to Maiar will accelerate the adoption of our money app and the underlying Elrond blockchain infrastructure.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond Network CEO.

Existing Maiar users will have the pleasure of discovering that they have always had a Bitcoin address attached to their @herotag. It has been part of the onboarding process, when a newly created account gets four new wallets in one go: EGLD, BTC, ETH and BNB.

The intuitive simplicity of Maiar will complement Bitcoin’s growing popularity to accelerate growth.
