Hello everyone, I would to thank you for your continuous support. It has been a challenging week, but as promised we are progressing, and would like to share some of the results with you.

[1] Regarding the prototype, the first part of Elrond Core is almost ready. We can now process transactions and submit blocks to the chain. The first set of successful transaction have been performed yesterday. This is still early, and several other components need to be added, but we are progressing steadily toward our prototype release.

[2] As per our legal structure, we are now officially incorporated in Zug, Switzerland.

[3] Advisors: announcements of several advisors are are being prepared and are pending legal agreements. We will hopefully have this ready by Wednesday. Thanks again to everyone for being so supportive, and stay tuned for more announcements in the coming week.

Hey guys, we've just released a new post on some of our advisers. Take a look and let us know what you think. https://medium.com/elrondnetwork/elronds-advisers-another-step-forward-c65446f2d915

About Elrond

Elrond introduces a novel blockchain architecture which goes beyond state-of-the-art and is designed for practical scalability via Adaptive State Sharding and Secure Proof of Stake (SPoS). On the one hand our solution offers scalability while preserving security and decentralization; on the other it ensures large scale efficiency and sustainability by eliminating intensive PoW energy and computational waste. Last but not least, we believe interoperability to be instrumental for the future of the blockchain ecosystem, hence we design Elrond to be EVM compatible and cross-chain interoperable.
