✅ Week 7 Delegation Rewards - 4,000 eGold Distributed

6,485 users have received their weekly rewards for staking in the Delegation Waiting list. Last week’s APY was 7.86%!

Join them and the rest of the active Delegators & Validators in securing the Elrond network.

All the relevant information is available here: https://elrond.com/blog/egold-delegation-waiting-list-guide/

Staking Phase 2 goes live at epoch 124

The Validators Queue will be enabled as the blockchain progresses to epoch 124, at approximately:

⏰ ~14:12:24 UTC

Stake transactions that are sent before epoch 124 begins will fail & the staked eGold will be returned.

After the epoch change, successful “stake” transactions will place nodes in the Validators Queue.

If and when an existing Validator decides to unStake, they free up a slot which will be taken by the first Validator in the queue.

Good luck to all!

The Elrond Virtual Machine - Smart Contracts At Internet Scale.

The design goal for our virtual machine is to create a dependable execution environment whose speed and costs remain constant under heavy load, and which is able to scale with demand.

This gives Elrond the ability to evolve the world’s economy through decentralization by providing a smart contract platform that will execute complex operations with low latency and will be able to continue doing so throughout imminent periods of exponential growth.

Through its design and implementation, the Arwen WASM VM lays the foundation for a new solution space in which the barriers to what’s possible are no longer technical. The googles and amazons of tomorrow are perhaps one smart contract away - will you be the one that writes it?

The next logical evolution of our current financial system is the Internet of Money. 💹

This will enable value to flow through thousands of fiats and cryptocurrencies. Scarcity, Programmability & Scalability position $EGLD as one of the biggest contenders to be become currency 👇

An important $EGLD adoption vector will be its fluidity - the ability of value to transform to, from & through it.

That means trading on exchanges such as Binance, CryptoCom, Bitfinex, OKEx, Liquid or Bithumb Global

Or onboarding through fiat ramps such as MoonPay, Transak, Mercuryo, Swipe or Indacoin

20+ million users from 165+ countries being able to onboard $EGLD using 50+ fiat currencies or trading against #BTC, $BUSD and USDT sounds impressive. And it is.

But the internet of money means anyone, anywhere, any pair, directly.

Swap platforms enable cryptocurrencies to be exchanged between each other, in a non-custodial manner, and often with little to no paperwork.

You can find $EGLD on the most important ones 👇

https://changelly.com/ has 2+ million users which can swap to $EGLD from 160 crypto currencies. They also offer fiat onboarding with 48 fiat currencies and are a very popular option.

https://swapspace.co/ has 300+ coins, requires no registration and boasts an intuitive interface and reliable support.

https://swapzone.io/ is an aggregator, offering the most popular swap platforms, rated by price, speed, or quality, and allows swapping 300+ of the most popular assets, including stable coins or privacy tokens.

https://godex.io/ is focused on anonymity and offers access to 200+ coins and 24/7 support, without registration.

https://stealthex.io/ is another privacy-oriented platform that does not require registration, has 300+ assets, and perhaps most interestingly, has no upper limits for the amounts swapped.

Through its availability on 12 exchanges, 11 fiat onramps and 5 swap platforms, $EGLD is well on its way towards becoming an omnipresent asset most coins can directly swap to, giving it #BTC -like fluidity.

Perhaps more important than that is liquidity. More on that soon.

Orion comes to Elrond: #DeFi Liquidity as a core necessity for an era of internet-scale money

🔹Next-gen AMMs will span multiple blockchains & connect centralized exchanges
🔹Next-gen lending, borrowing, or derivative protocols will use collateral baskets that include assets from multiple chains
🔹Next-gen yield farming products will include DeFi primitives deployed on multiple blockchains, getting the best available yield on any platform, not just one

Whatever the next big thing will be, it will need liquidity and scalability.

Orion Protocol creates a unique value layer connecting liquidity streams across centralized and decentralized exchanges in a seamless and automated way.

Elrond is ready to offer internet-scale performance, and Orion will soon be ready to leverage Elrond and open these new liquidity streams to the world.

The time to join the Elrond ecosystem, and take a close look at Orion is now.

Value-Stable Coin ARTH From MahaDAO Comes To The Elrond Mainnet

The Value-Stable coin ARTH from MahaDAO is coming to the Elrond blockchain. Its purpose is to create a coin that is truly stable in value over time, so as to serve as a reliable medium of exchange and timeless store of value.

The collaboration will focus on issuing a portion of the ARTH value-stable coin supply onto the Elrond blockchain and include it in a number of innovative DeFi use cases. MahaDAO’s strategic use of meta transactions is a strong synergy with Elrond and will be natively supported by our protocol.

“Our mission is to create the technological and economical infrastructure that will help bring native digital money to its natural conclusion. eGold is a strong contender for becoming base currency and complementary with MahaDAO’s vision of creating timeless value-stable money.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

Stacktical To Deploy Its Decentralized Service Level Agreement Solution On Elrond

Service level agreements (SLAs) are contracts that define the terms and conditions for a provider to deliver services to its customers. Stacktical will use Elrond technology to deploy DSLA - a risk management protocol that helps service providers and customers to automatically settle deviations from service level agreements using smart contracts.

“Today’s unexpected Google outage will likely cause tens of millions of dollars in losses to businesses worldwide. Automatically settling SLA breaches will increase the quality of online services and help avoid such situations. We’re happy to support this through our collaboration with Stacktical” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.
