Matic and Cartesi to collaborate to power Cartesi DApps and for Plasma exit dispute resolution R&D
In order to empower DApps building on Cartesi with a seamless UX, Cartesi will utilize Matic’s high-performance, low-fee infrastructure. The first fully-decentralized DApp running on Linux, Creepts, has already been successfully deployed on the Matic testnet.
In addition, Matic will be collaborating with Cartesi on R&D in the area of dispute resolution for Plasma exits.

TOP 15 Blockchain platforms by daily active addresses (April VS March average)
One of the ways to measure the month to month usage of the blockchain platform is to check the amount of average daily active addresses.
"Active addresses are unique addresses that were active in the network (either as a recipient or originator of a ledger change) that day. All parties in a ledger change action (recipients and originators) are counted. Individual addresses are not double-counted if previously active."
In the previous report we saw that 10 out of 15 platforms experienced decline, but this month it is a mirror situation with 10 out of 15 platforms showing growth.
Top gainers are Cardano (+123.7%), Tron (+117.4%) and DigiByte (+42.6%).

Tokamak Network Overview
What is Tokamak Network?
Tokamak Network is building a layer 2 plasma and roll-up protocol that boosts interoperability, scalability, functionality, and usability while the security and data availability are guaranteed by the decentralized Ethereum blockchain. Anyone can open an on-demand layer 2 solution to adopt their specific needs for scalability on Tokamak. The mission of Tokamak Network is to support the development of various services such as DApp projects or Ethereum infrastructure solutions.
Tokamak Network Introduction Video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGh3IoRFGHU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGh3IoRFGHU
Tokamak Network and Ethereum
Ethereum is, and will be the most robust, and secure blockchain network. Tokamak Network helps to solve the Scalability Trilemma of Ethereum with its proposed layer 2 solution. Moreover, Tokamak Network is currently the only plasma network supporting smart contracts.
Note: The trilemma claims that blockchain systems can only at most have two of the following three properties: 1) Decentralization 2) Scalability 3)Security
What's Special About Tokamak Network
▪️Scalability is a given with 100% compatibility with Ethereum. Interoperability means Turing complete, serves as a testbed for Ethereum, which requires a hard fork to implement new features.
▪️Functionality is what Tokamak Network pursues continuously, and current examples are an ETH gas fee delegation and various computational support including zk-privacy computation.
▪️Usability means ease-of-use. The plasma chain features can be customized to the operators’ needs; transaction fees, block production, operation costs.
Through the features, Tokamak Network can solve the blockchain trilemma, and also able to achieve the mass adoption of blockchain technology.
Tokamak Network's Core Contributor: Onther
Onther is a tech startup that leads Korea's Ethereum development ecosystem. CEO of Onther, Kevin Jeong (Philosopher) is well-known as a co-host of Seoul Ethereum Meetup. From February 2017, Onther provided Blockchain technology consulting services such as smart contract design and development, token development, smart contract audit, DApp service planning and development, R&D on Layer2 solution (Tokamak Network based on Plasma EVM). For 4 years, Onther has carried out various fields of the Ethereum Blockchain projects. In recognition of its achievements in developing Ethereum plasma solutions, Onther received Grants from Vitalik Buterin.
Technical Partners
▪️MakerDAO - Improving usability and ensuring privacy of DAI tokens through Plasma technology
▪️Matic Network - Collaborative research on achieving scalability and privacy using Plasma
What is TON?
TON is the Tokamak Network’s token. TON will be used to 1) stake to deploy the plasma chains, 2) deposit as a preset Minimum Gas Price and 3) delegate as ‘Stamina’ to pay TX fees.

TOP 15 Blockchain platforms by Activity Valuation Index
Block'tivity proposes their own Activity Valuation Index of blockchain platforms.
"Activity Valuation Index takes the Bitcoin market cap and the number of transactions (Tx) per day and makes it an index set to "1". Then, it varies with the other blockchains data. The index grows when the blockchain is very active and its market cap is low. A blockchain with the same amount of Tx as Bitcoin but with only half of its market cap would have an AVI of 2. From the investor point of view, it would be twice as valuable as Bitcoin because it would have the same level of activity with only half the market cap"
As can be seen from the picture, the list is dominated by low cap projects most of which are not in the top 100 of CMC. The exceptions is EOS which is ranked 8th
Leaders are Tlos, Cyber, Golos, Kin and Te-Food!

Aergo has released a new feature on the Aergo Enterprise 2.0 Aergo Java Database Connectivity!
The Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is an adapter that removes the need for creating and sending blockchain transactions manually - and allows you to run SQL queries directly. Thanks to Aergo's smart contract engine which is rich in SQL support, you can connect to a smart contract just like any other traditional SQL database.

Fantom has announced that Application BlockChain Interface (ABCI) functionality has been successfully added to Lachesis
The application interface, called the Application BlockChain Interface (ABCI), enables the transactions to be processed in any programming language. Developers can use Lanchesis for BFT state machine replication of applications written in whatever programming language and development environment is right for them.
New technical update allows consensus engine to take advantage of all of the functionality that Lanchesis has, thus increasing the usability of our consensus in many ways.

FinNexus (FNX) ICTO will be conducted on Bitrue on May 11th!
A new type of public offering will allow users to either hold FinNexus’ native tokens, FNX, or convert them to the first tokenized product in the FinNexus ecosystem, UM1S, at their discretion! The ICTO provides a 3-month conversion period to maximize the suitability of the investment for different risk-return profiles. Holding FNX allows for active involvement in FinNexus ecosystem development, while holding UM1S provides a fixed return of around 10% APR. 5% APR could be equivalent to an additional 20% APR for the converted FNX tokens, and the ICTO could give the holders a bottom APR of 30% while with unlimited upward potential.
So, even if the price drops, 80% of FNX could be converted back at ICTO price with interest. No chance of a loss for the majority.
Moreover, Bitrue & FinNexus will arrange several events to celebrate the occasion with FNX tokens as a reward!
