#NimbusAcademy

We are glad to see that a substantial number of our community members voted in favor of continuing the Nimbus Glossary Series!☺️

So be it - here's the next term for you – ✨ "Price Impact" ✨

Check the image above to see its meaning 👆

💡Important tip!

It is easy to confuse "Slippage" and "Price Impact" with each other as they are often used interchangeably. The key difference between the two terms is the following:

✅ Slippage occurs for a particular trade due to the changing market conditions between the moment a transaction was submitted to the moment when it gets verified. Meaning Slippage affects your own trade - so watch out!

✅ On the other hand, Price impact occurs for the whole market after a trade has been made. In other words, it does not affect your particular trade - but does affect the following ones, so take it into consideration if you’re planning on making several trades in a row.

Let us know what other words/terms you want to learn, and we will make sure to cover them next week!

​​✋Hey Nimbus community!

🧠Another Week, Another Rollercoaster for the crypto industry. This time, markets have been hit by the news that anonymous hackers carried out one the biggest theft ever in the world of decentralized finance, stealing around $600 million from a protocol known as PolyNetwork that lets users swap tokens across multiple blockchains. The good news is that the very next day cyber criminals decided to return the stolen funds. One of the reasons could be the fact that a blockchain security firm SlowMist was able to track the attacker via a trail of digital evidence left behind.

Cardano tokens skyrocketed over 40% this week in anticipation of the network's smart contract capability finally launching. The crypto community has been expecting this since 2017! Why? These smart contracts will allow to build dApps on Cardano, opening up a variety of potential uses for the blockchain.

👽Finally, it appears that Lionel Messi's transfer to French club Paris St Germain included a payment in cryptocurrency fan tokens, providing another big-name endorsement for new digital assets. It should be noted that among the clubs to launch tokens this year are English Premier League champions Manchester City and Italy's AC Milan. Why? The reason is very simple – they allow to engage fans and drive revenue at the same time.

Do you think fan tokens will help to popularize crypto?

#NimbusAcademy #NimbusTips

In the first episode of the Nimbus Academy published on Monday, we discussed what smart contracts are, what’s their role in DeFi, how their audit process looks like, and so on😎

For those of you who missed it, grab a coffee and watch the video now 👉Here!

And for today, here’s a quick recap of the episode’s key term: Smart Contracts💡

#NimbusAcademy #NimbusGlossary

Hey Nimbus Community,

If you haven't seen the latest news yet, we made an open proposal to the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) offering our extensive experience and knowledge in the development of a robust regulatory framework. Ultimately, our goal is to bring durable clarity to the DeFi industry and protecting the digital asset community — users and providers — from malicious actors.

Learn more in our blog!

👌If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask in the group

​​✋Hey Nimbus Community!

👾 White hats are gaining popularity in the crypto industry. This time a hacker operating under the pseudonym “Samzcsun” prevented the potential theft of $350 Million from DeFi project SushiSwap. Long story short, he noticed a flaw in one of MISO’s batching libraries. Thankfully, he contacted the SushiSwap team and several third-party experts to urge them about the security breach.

🤖 The lesson is simple — there are no limits to perfection, which is why we constantly try to improve our platform. Vitalik Buterin, on the other hand, believes that token-based decentralized governance is holding DeFi back. Alternatively, he suggested an exploration of “Proof-of-Humanity”-based governance systems where one vote was allocated per each of a protocol’s users.

😺 Finally, former US Treasury Department Criminal Investigator Greg Monahan has joined Binance as Anti-Money Laundering Officer. His task will be to strengthen the organization's relationship with regulatory and law enforcement agencies around the world. Also, in case you missed it, Nimbus also looks forward to helping regulators make the DeFi industry more transparent and fair.

NBU (BEP-20) token is getting listed on Koinbazar on August 25th, 2021!🥳

🔥This is the first listing of the Nimbus tokens on a Centralized Exchange (CEX).

✅CEXs allow payments in fiat currencies via bank wire transfers and credit or debit card payments.
✅Centralized Exchanges typically have a higher trading volume, and you don’t have to deal with slippage and other inconveniences that you could face in DEX.
✅Nimbus users benefit from the potential exposure and the rapidly growing ecosystem of Koinbazar!

​​​​🔥Crypto weekly update🔥

😳As expected, since the announcement of Ethereum's “London” hard fork, prices for ETH and related projects have skyrocketed. Still, the Ethereum blockchain has major changes ahead. As the ESG trend gains popularity, the second popular cryptocurrency is increasingly criticized for its heavy energy usage and carbon emissions. To satisfy the “green community”, developers will be forced to move the blockchain to a proof-of-stake system from a proof-of-work system eventually. Buterin expects the merge to Ethereum 2.0 to take place in early 2022 but it could come as early as late 2021. 

By the way, we at Nimbus are also developing something new in accordance with the ESG trend — stay tuned to learn more!😎

🤓In the meantime, the crypto community is monitoring another important theme – Bitcoin futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). Currently, U.S. banking giant Citigroup is awaiting regulatory approval to begin trading bitcoin futures contracts on the CME. Following megabank Goldman Sachs, Citigroup also wants to get its part of the pie by offering cryptocurrency exposure to its clients.

🥳Finally, yet importantly, a demand for NFT tokens continues to surge. Visa recently announced a purchase of CryproPunk 7610 for $150,000. In addition, the company noted that it is creating tools for participation in a new area, and also announced the release of its system (API) for buying cryptocurrencies, which will be integrated with banks.

Do you think the crypto industry will still remain anonymous with all these trends?
