🌎 Elrond Network mainnet data is now available via the BwareLabs APIs

Elrond is the first to implement a fully sharded blockchain architecture that can accommodate high throughput & scale with demand.

As the transaction volume increases due to adoption and new product launches, resulting on-chain data is generated at growing volume & speeds.

Being able to get this data is essential for any Elrond dApp. Getting it in real time is especially important for high performance dApps.

Elrond developers today have two options for getting data:

· using the Elrond public API infrastructure
· setting up your own infrastructure

BwareLabs introduces a third: free up to 25 requests per second (quite a lot!) and with paid plans (tba) for those who need more.

Find out more: https://twitter.com/lucianmincu/status/1482064384117645317

📒 Try the BwareLabs APIs: https://app.bwarelabs.com/

The fully sharded architecture of Elrond is essential for enabling the next billion people to simultaneously engage with #web3payments and the opportunities of a truly scalable global financial system.

Autoworld Joins The #web3payments revolution

In just 1 week since the Utrust acquisition announcement, 400 businesses signed up to the waiting list for becoming a Web3 merchant, 5 of them are already live and the others in various stages of the registration process.

The European car dealer Autoworld was among the first to accept direct EGLD payments for its cars, and has now integrated Utrust, to make the process more streamlined and convenient for all the involved parties. Furthermore, cars listed on its Carcloud platform are also priced directly in EGLD.

“A lot of our customers prefer EGLD payments because it is more convenient and inexpensive for them, so we made a lot of sales that way. By integrating Utrust, we can now accept EGLD in a manner that is more convenient also for us, as the invoicing and bookkeeping no longer need a special process.” said Roger Patrasc, Sales Manager.

Elrond Web Tools Update: Add A Logo And Info For Your ESDT Token In The Explorer, Web Wallet And Supporting Platforms

Projects building on the Elrond Network can now convey their brand message to their token holders by adding their logo and relevant information. The full information will be displayed in the Elrond Explorer.

In addition, the logo will be visible in the Elrond Web Wallet, the Maiar DeFi Wallet, as well as third party applications that choose to integrate this feature.
