We are excited to join BEPSwap as a launch partner

BEPSwap is the first go-to market platform for the THORChain protocol meaning any BNB or BEP2 holders are capable of swapping BEP2 tokens instantly from their wallet.

This partnership has many benefits for ERD token holders, such as increased liquidity and earning staking rewards.

Additional benefits include:
➡️THORChain will acquire off the market ERD tokens between now and the launch in order to bootstrap the Elrond pool.
➡️THORChain and Elrond will work together to promote the ecosystem.
➡️Elrond will be able to stake some parts of their treasury into the pool to offer even more liquidity to token holders.
➡️ERD token holders will be able to stake ERD tokens in order to earn on trade commissions every day.

BEPSwap is scheduled for public beta in 4–6 weeks.

We’re happy to be able to offer our communities more opportunities together.

📺 Watch Elrond developers shoot laser beams of code goodness into the source code tree!

This video is a visual representation of part of the extraordinary journey we embarked on almost 2 years ago - building one of the most innovative blockchain technologies in the world. The immense task of delivering a state of the art, fully sharded blockchain architecture was only possible with the contribution of brilliant minds coming together driven by the same purpose - to redefine how we perceive transfer of value.

✅ CryptoBubbles.io flash campaign

Elrond launches the new Virtual Machine, or better said VM's - as we now support 3 more engines

Elrond is built with security and speed in mind. We have shown transaction processing speeds of more than 50k TPS on our sharded architecture and a mature, fast VM is imperative to keep up with our protocol. Integrating WASM, a crucial component of the new decentralized web, is a step forward in achieving very high throughputs even for smart contracts transactions. The advantages of WASM don’t stop here: support for multiple languages, sandboxed environment, developed and maintained by major companies. Our super-fast, specialized adapter combined with the bare-boned WASM engines, have reached very high processing speeds.

✅ New community platform tasks

H.H Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has set a new vision for Dubai to make it the first city fully powered by Blockchain by 2020.

Being at the forefront of blockchain innovation, it is our interest to explore opportunities in areas of the world open for blockchain adoption. Our event that hosted more than 30 Senior Level Leaders from Government and Private organizations has been a success and through it we have done the first steps by opening up discussions about Elrond’s technological innovations for Dubai.

Up until now Bitcoin has a total number of ~455,400,000 transactions processed since 2008 (10+ years)

But what I am most excited about today is that Elrond Network’s Golang implementation has exceeded 1,000,000,000 transactions in ~96 hours.

Notes on 1b claim **
-> 1b Cross-Shard transaction processed
-> Network Setup: 5 shards + Metachain
-> 1 consensus round missed on 96+ hours uptime (5s consensus round time)
-> no single crash reported
-> ~60% (dual core) CPU load and ~1GB RAM used on t3.medium instances
Also, about 48 hours ago we released Testnet-1016

First double sign shard attack

YES! First official double sign attack managed to halt the entire shardID 4 when of the validators tried to move his docker image to another host just about 10 minutes after genesis.

This happened in one of the first Cosmos GoS (Game of Stakes) versions, when one of the validators has double signed (two machines with same key have signed two different blocks at same height), and yes, GoS halted too!
Yesterday was our turn, and we learned our lesson too.

Besides that here’s some insights:
-> 211 validator nodes participating in this testnet release
-> deployed a hot-fix patch with the community to unfreeze the halted shard 4 after double sign incident
-> 20,000,000 txs executed and around 22,266 blocks proposed on each shard.

The dedication @ElrondNetwork’s team is beyond imagination.

ps. @ElrondNetwork does not require 5-10k $ machines for a PoS*-called protocol, you’re cool with your dual-core CPU too. Join us here https://riot.im/app/#/room/#elrond:matrix.org
