Top Romanian Investor Joins Staking Agency As Partner, Injects Capital To Strengthen Elrond Network Global Infrastructure

Exciting news from our partner Staking Agency: top Romanian investor Florin Cojocaru joins Staking Agency as Partner. The move is set to strengthen our staking infrastructure provider, which thus becomes the biggest Elrond partner in Romania.

Florin is currently one of the major contributors to the Elrond ecosystem, bringing in new investors and rallying the Romanian community around his actions to promote Elrond both in his extensive business network and for newcomers.

“I learned from Elrond that hard work, perseverance, and clarity of vision compound into incredible growth over time. My decision to commit myself fully to the Elrond ecosystem comes from my trust in the team and the community and partnerships they have built around their incredible product. I am grateful to have found such an incredibly smart, hardworking and respected partner in Mihai.” said Florin Cojocaru, Staking Agency partner.

Mihai Barca, also know as DrDelphi, is the big winner of the two Battle of Nodes incentivized testnet events. Our community will also recognize him as the one who created several Telegram bots to make our crypto lives easier.

The changes in the Staking Agency partners structure is set to position it as one of the biggest players in the Romanian market and a strong Elrond partner at global level.

PlasmaPay Integration To Enable New Payments, Fiat Gateways and DeFi Opportunities For eGold

We’re excited to announce a long term partnership with PlasmaPay, which will make eGold a part of an array of products for payments, fiat gateway & DeFi.

PlasmaPay is building a blockchain ecosystem that will enable users to onboard the cryptocurrency space easily and participate in DeFi activities across multiple chains from a single interface.

Collaboration roadmap:

🔸 eGold added to fiat on-ramp
🔸 PlasmaPay wallet integration
🔸 Elrond DeFi products available in the Plasma DeFi Dashboard
🔸Interoperability with the Plasma DLT
🔸HyperLoop cross-chain bridge integration
🔸eGold & Elrond assets tradeable via Plasma DEX

“Good user experience will drive DeFi adoption faster than the technical advantages of the underlying blockchain environments.

As part of the upcoming mainnet upgrade, the “Unstake” feature will be activated for Validators.

☁️ It’s time to build. Introducing the Elrond innovations & devkit

The next amazons and googles of our time are perhaps one smart contract away. Thanks to Elrond’s innovations, the border to what’s possible is no longer technical.

The 16,200 transactions per second with 6s latency and $0.001 transaction cost are compelling numbers on their own.

Yet Elrond’s innovations around smart contracts, smart accounts, and tokens, enable a broad spectrum of diverse on-chain products to be created, with tools that lower development time & costs.

• Blockchain: State, TX & network sharding, 16k TPS, 6s latency, $0.001 tx fee
• Smart Contracts: 30% gas as royalties, fast, small, composable, upgradable
• Smart Accounts: associated data trie, key-value storage
• Tokens & TXs: low transfer fees, relayed/gasless TXs, true token ownership
• Build: Rust framework for SCs, WASM VM, VS Code IDE, dApp boilerplate

Over the next few weeks we will gradually introduce the Elrond innovations and our complete devkit for the architects of tomorrow. The first article is ready now.

It’s time to build.
