Hello everyone,

Elrond technical progress update #3 is here. In this update, we have details about our whitepaper revision, the necessity of these adjustments and what lead us up to them.

This post also deep dives into our architecture design, detailing the refined Adaptive State Sharding and Secure Proof of Stake mechanisms. Whilst complex, this update is also accessible to anyone interested to fully understanding our main contributions and why they are crucial for the progress of the blockchain space.

We’re also excited to announce the open source release of our prototype (Elrond Node and Wallet) with the mention that this iteration is not meant for measuring optimal performance but rather to validate the assumptions on which the theoretical performance claim rests. As a treat we are also including a way of figuring out real blockchain performance in terms of TPS claims.

Lastly, this post addresses our stepping stone from prototype to testnet.

We are strong believers in the blockchain technology and its future impact so despite the current market sentiment, we’re even more focused on innovating and developing Elrond.

As always, we appreciate your feedback! Let us know if there is anything you want to hear more about in our updates!
