Here's a short update on why the Maiar launch is a big deal

First, we've seen an incredible community response! 37k unique accounts, with mapped DNS address, 148k transactions, in 12 hours, with a “soft launch”. All organic. People sharing the app with friends and family. One word: amazing!

Second, it's our utmost priority to solve the bugs found, improve the registration bandwidth limitation, and scale speed of $EGLD purchases. Key problems known will be addressed in 2 releases. One today, one tomorrow.

With those done, we should be able to easily scale 100x from here.

Startups are about growth. We're growing at 1 account per second. At 10x the growthrate, we'd reach 1 billion in ~3.2 years.

And we are ecstatic to see this type of excitement and demand. The people around the world need a new way of transferring and exchanging value. Maiar: let people store, transfer and exchange value. Globally. inexpensively.

With Maiar, we're about to discover the true meaning of hypergrowth. We’ve not even unveiled our unique vision and features for Maiar. It’s day 1. In retrospect, it will seem inevitable.

Thank you for your insane support!

Scalable data streams for Elrond Smart contracts via Razor Network oracles

The Internet of Money will interconnect multiple blockchains and centralized systems. And it will be trustless, thanks in large part to decentralized oracles - services that verify and send data to a blockchain from any off-chain source.

We’re therefore happy to announce that Elrond smart contracts will receive trustworthy off-chain data via the decentralized Razor Network oracles.

“Applications operating at an internet-scale on Elrond will require off-chain data to be delivered as fast as the blockchain can process them. We look forward to seeing Razor Network act as a swift data funnel for Elrond smart contracts.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

Automated cross-Chain DeFi for Elrond assets via CyberFi

Interoperable blockchains and the value that traverses them make up the Internet of Money. It enables value and assets to go global as soon as they are digitized. The resulting landscape is vast and might seem untamable for people looking to capitalize on the best opportunities in a timely manner.

This is why we are excited to integrate with CyberFi, an intelligent automation platform that allows traders to seamlessly engage with DeFi opportunities on multiple blockchains.

“Automation tools such as CyberFi will play an important role in levelling the playing field and giving new actors confidence to join the global financial system. The resulting influx of fresh capital will benefit all participants and will multiply opportunities.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

🇺🇸 US crypto-assets broker Voyager highlights Elrond differentiators

Voyager provides crypto-currency brokerage services. The company offers access to assets and commission-free trading. Voyager serves retail and institutional investors in the United States and is currently looking to expand into Europe.

Their recent blog post covers the Elrond tech and ecosystem, and highlights our differentiators for their US customer base:

"Like gold, $EGLD is designed to optimize parameters that lend themselves to create a substantial store of value. However, EGLD was built to include mechanics and functionality that exceed those of gold."

Visualizing Hypergrowth: Key Metrics For Game-Changing Adoption

The symbiosis between the internet-scale Elrond blockchain and the heart-winning Maiar app evolves around compelling economics built for an interplanetary-scale financial system powered by eGold.

This unique combination of technology, design and value is unprecedented and will usher in a new era of hypergrowth for a positive-sum game that is digital, decentralized and open to anyone in the world.

We are therefore thrilled to unveil our Growth dashboard. It offers everyone, everywhere a direct and transparent view of the key adoption metrics that are driving the hypergrowth of the Elrond.

eSports and eGold connect at internet-scale: Exeedme to accept Maiar payments

The blockchain-based eSports platform Exeedme will accept eGold payments via Maiar.

Exeedme is a project that leverages blockchain technology, decentralized finance, and non-fungible tokens to create additional revenue streams for players.

Through this novel integration, a new use case for Maiar, and its role as a gateway to the blockchain space and connected verticals, is enabled for the first time. The combination between Elrond, eGold, and Maiar demonstrates the massive scope of the new solution space they jointly create.

“By using Maiar to expedite payments, subscriptions, and other forms of engagement, gamers can take back time to do what they love most: enjoying video games. The collaboration with Exeedme is a great example of the creative experiments that can be done with Elrond, eGold, and Maiar.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

Elrond covered in the International Business Times roundup of best blockchain tech

International Business Times has an interesting piece on the blockchain technology that is being leveraged by every industry from healthcare to aviation. Our network’s high throughput, comprehensive devkit and Maiar app earn Elrond a place in the spotlight.

“These are the ones to watch as they are not only laying the foundation for what is to come but are also likely to be the top firms in crypto and blockchain for the next decade.”

Global Off-Chain Computation Via Cartesi Smart Contracts For The Elrond Mainnet

Blockchain adoption happens through applications built to integrate the technology in a compelling way. The vast ecosystem emerging through experimentation with specific blockchain programming languages and their custom tools shows the immense potential for global adoption.

This is why we are excited to announce that developers everywhere will be able to leverage the familiar tools from Linux, the world’s prevailing OS, to unleash massive off-chain computational capabilities for Elrond smart contracts at an internet-scale.

“Our WASM VM is perhaps the fastest in the space and provides throughput for smart contracts at an internet-scale. By adding massive off-chain execution power via Cartesi & Linux tools, decentralization will be able to pierce through its current computational barriers and unlock blockchain’s potential at a truly global level.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

The integration is important for the Elrond Network because it adds a complementary layer of computational power to the high transactional throughput capabilities of our mainnet and expands Elrond use cases further into performance demanding enterprise use-cases.

Verifiable Collateral For DeFi Opportunities: OpenDAO Stable Coins On The Elrond Network

For DeFi products to finally take off, the transition to fully digital financial services needs to be underpinned by a strong layer of confidence stemming from reliable stable coins.

That is why we are excited to announce that OpenDAO stable coins will be available for DeFi products on the Elrond Network!

“Adoption will happen when the new capabilities of the digital financial system will be combined with the same level of trust market players have in the traditional system. It will be interesting to explore the opportunities created by the hybrid collateralization mechanism proposed by OpenDAO” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.
