🇪🇺 EU Premiere: Web3 Decentralized Domains And Institutional NFT Marketplace Under Development By Romania’s National Institute for Research and Development In Informatics Using Elrond Network Blockchain Technology

We are thrilled to announce that ICI Bucharest is working on building an institutional NFT marketplace and a decentralized Domain Name System (DNS/TLD) based on the highly scalable and carbon-negative Elrond Network blockchain.

The National System for Issuers and Digital Assets will be the first of its kind in Romania and likely the European Union. It is being created as a public - institutional marketplace for digital assets that will use blockchain-based Decentralized Identity and Non-Fungible Token (NFT) technology to digitize, access, transfer and store official documents, property deeds or various certificates.

“The intersection of governance and technology creates a universe of opportunities for advancing society. It is the right time to take the initiative along with our partners from ICI and embed Elrond Web3 innovations into the next generation of national and institutional frameworks.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond Network CEO.

Elrond DeFi Spotlight: Peer-To-Peer ESDT Trading Via JEXchange

The Elrond ecosystem stands out due to the diversity of its participants. Each of them brings a unique perspective and set of skills to the table. This, in turn, helps ensure adaptability and innovation.

The constant expansion of the Elrond ecosystem creates demand for new features and products. JEXchange picked up the challenge by introducing a new approach to trading. Their solution is a peer-to-peer smart-contract-based trading avenue for any ESDT.

JEX is best known for the ability to trade on any ESDT pair. They use a listing mechanism where a seller deposits a certain amount of tokens and asks for EGLD or other tokens in return. Buyers can then offer the requested amount to complete the trade.

Introducing A New Elrond Wallet Feature: Proof Of Address & Assets Ownership Via Cryptographic Message Signing & Verification

Providing irrefutable proof of ownership with 0 cost and 100% confidence is an exciting development in the collaboration space involving digital signature. Blockchain is an arguably more secure solution than central certification authorities, and it provides a more secure and cost effective alternative that might soon become the norm for digital signatures.

Most Elrond dApps already include this feature, especially when you sign in with the Maiar App, DeFi Wallet, Ledger, etc.

Now individual users can quickly verify ownership directly from the Elrond Web Wallet via the newly launched Message Signing & Verification feature.

Introducing Smart Swaps: A New Feature That Allows Users To Directly Swap Between Any Listed Tokens With A Single Transaction

On AMM Exchanges such as the Maiar DEX, users trade against liquidity pools. These LPs accept trades only between the two assets that created the pool, meaning that the available options for direct trading are limited to the existing pools.

For example, up until now, if you wanted to swap MEX for RIDE you first had to swap MEX for $EGLD, and then $EGLD for RIDE, in two different transactions.

Smart Swaps pack those into just one transaction, which is faster and more convenient. This is possible thanks to a new Router Smart Contract, which automatically finds the best route for swapping Token A for Token B, and executes it in one go.

As a result, you can now directly pair any token with any other token in the Swap page.

Give it a try: https://maiar.exchange/swap
