A new US government report explores how blockchains could be used to track drones carrying medical supplies
Commercial drone delivery is becoming a serious business, but it still faces technical challenges related to data sharing and trust. Blockchains could help with that, a new report published by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) contends.

Algocoins
As soon as within 30 days, algorithmic stablecoins—those that can be pegged to any asset out there—will go live on Minter 1. They will be backed by BIP reserves and therefore liquid across the entire network. You will be able to buy and sell any amount, with the prices recalculated once every minute.
Several teams are already working on implementation, ensuring stability against BTC, ETH, USD, RUB, and bonds of a large gas company. You should understand that the key difference between algorithmic and collateralized coins is that in terms of price, the algocoin is tied to the asset at a 1-to-1 ratio but, at the same time, is not backed by it. Thus, they are not considered financial instruments and require no regulation. Their only job is to be priced at the same level as the original and make operations convenient for the user.
The very “stability” argument is debatable as, for example, the U.S. dollar may be stable for Americans yet absolutely volatile for Europeans who need to make constant calculations and predictions. We prefer to call them algocoins.
Algocoins will be launched on the main network and initially managed by the off-chain stabilizers. With the introduction of MinterEVM, they will switch to decentralized and, what’s especially important, entirely transparent management mechanisms.
Speed of stabilization: every five seconds. We’ll be the first of our kind in the world!

Minter Network’s First Algocoin
@MinterBITBot that’s been rolled out today is an alpha version of a sidechain service developed for Minter 2 by an independent blockchain team. In early summer already, you’ll be able to exchange BIP for Bitcoin, Ether, and Atom via atomic smart contracts similar to Uniswap. There’ll be a lot of liquidity, and it will all be automated.
Sidechains and smart contracts are the future of interaction between all market players with maximum execution guarantees.
Tests will be run with 25,000 USDT and 25,000 BIT in reserves.
According to our information, this marks the fourth project moving full-steam ahead towards connecting Minter and other blockchains through a single MinterAPI. If you’re currently working on such a product, get in touch with @seo2z should you need any help—right now, decentralized liquidity is our top priority.
