4+ Million People Can Now Store EGLD, NFTs And ESDT Tokens On Ledger Hardware Wallets, And 1.5+ Million People Can Use EGLD From The Ledger Live Wallet App

Maiar DEX users and NFT owners can now enjoy an additional layer of security by managing their assets and operations directly from cold storage. And thanks to the easy integration of Ledger authentication with any dApp, security is further boosted for any Elrond user.

An outstanding fact is that the Elrond core devs are the first team to author the integration of their blockchain in Ledger Live - they also wrote the Elrod app for Ledger Nano! - using the open source code and tools available in the Ledger Development Portal.

“The Elrond Network is a radically new blockchain architecture, designed from the ground up for unprecedented scalability and efficiency. We took it upon ourselves to write the integration with the powerful capabilities of the Ledger hardware wallet and applications, to ensure that our users get maximum security and compatibility for their EGLD, NFTs and ESDT assets.” said Lucian Mincu, Elrond Network CIO

PoS Pioneers P2P Validator Joins Elrond Network As Staking Provider

P2P Validator is one of the earliest providers of blockchain infrastructure services. They have been active in the space since 2018 as a Cosmos validator and have since expanded to more than 25 networks, with $4.5+ Billion USD assets under management and 25,000 customers.

We are excited to announce that P2P Validator will henceforth contribute their vast experience with various PoS economies to run top notch infrastructure for Elrond validator nodes, as well as contribute insight, governance support and foster further ecosystem collaborations on the mid and long term.

“The Elrond mainnet launched a bit over 1 year ago, which means we’re very early, and there is still a lot of work ahead of us to unlock the true potential of horizontal scaling to an internet-scale. We’re therefore happy to join forces with P2P Validator and leverage their experience and expertise to take things to the next level.” said Lucian Mincu, Elrond Network CIO.

Interoperability Boost: Elrond Integrates With Chainge Finance, Enabling Assets From 13 Other Chains To Roam Freely To And From The Elrond Mainnet

Change is a multi-chain DeFi application that enables assets to roam between 14 supported blockchains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain, using Fusion DCRM sharded private key management technology.

At the current stage of the integration, EGLD and USDC ESDT are available for the Chainge app users, who can store balances on all compatible blockchains, and to easily initiate cross-chain transfers. Supported chains include Bitcoin, Ethereum, BSC, Avalanche, Polygon, Tron, Fusion, Heco, Arbitrum, Okexchain, Cronos, Fantom, and Elastos Smart Chain.

“Interoperability, such as provided by the Chainge Finance integration, will allow our mainnet to perform fast and inexpensive transactions denominated in assets originating on other chains, thus contributing the Elrond scalability and efficiency to the larger blockchain ecosystem, towards the development of a truly global financial system.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond Network CEO.
