Elrond Gets Access to Privacy-preserving Smart Contracts via ARPA

Elrond and ARPA have entered into a partnership that will achieve interoperability between the two blockchains, giving applications which use the Elrond blockchain in their technology stack access to secure multi-party computations on ARPA.

Achieving privacy for Elrond transactions is an important milestone in our project’s roadmap, so we are excited to see ARPA’s work on privacy-preserving multiparty computations, and the opportunities created by this partnership for the Elrond ecosystem.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

The secure multi-Party computation which ARPA implements in a decentralized and trustless network enables applications using Elrond’s highly scalable blockchain to have privacy features which are critical for e-health implementations, data renting, information marketplaces and fintech scenarios, just to name a few.

⚔️ Battle of Nodes: Onchained - Week #1 report

• Anti-flood mechanism prevented consensus in high TPS
• Redundant validator setup caused double-signing edge-case & fork

🌎 1609 validators & 1838 nodes
⚡️ 13000 max TPS
🛡 3 attacks foiled by the protocol
🆕 6 releases in 7 days
🛠 14 improvements & 16 bug fixes

Learning 1: High TPS is not flood

Our anti-flood mechanism was configured too tightly and flagged valid consensus messages as spam due to the high TPS environment in a geographically dispersed setting. As a result, we raised the peerMaxMessagesPerSec to 5 in order to avoid the consensus topic being blocked by the topic flood preventer component.

Learning 2: Redundant setups can do more harm than good

A node operator deployed two nodes with the same key and triggered a specific double-signing scenario that caused a fork. We have addressed this by improving our ForkDetector component.

"We are convinced there are many other possible situations that can hinder the proper functioning of a blockchain. As we are deploying the first truly sharded architecture proof of stake architecture, we are the first ever to face certain specific problems, and thus the first to solve them. We are thankful to our community for their valuble contributions, and will remain vigilant for any other issues that might be discovered." Lucian Mincu, Elrond CIO

💥 Battle of Nodes: Onchained - 35 MILLION TXs in 24 hours!

Our ongoing incentivized testnet event just processed 35 million transactions in 24 hours. That's an average of ~400 TPS, with a 7322 TPS peak. This is an exciting result that speaks to the resilience of our network, even as we faced an event which made newly started nodes not be able to connect - solved in the meantime.

The transactions are sent by our noscripts, which generate addresses and send test ERD between them, resulting in a healthy mix of intra-shard and cross-shard transactions. We are doing this to test the capabilities of our participants to operate in a moderate TPS environment.

Those nodes who don't will be purged from the event starting Monday, so Battle of Nodes continues in earnest with eligible nodes only.

Elrond featured in EU-Startups Top 10 Blockchain projects

Our project was recently featured by EU-startups.com as one of the Top 10 blockchain projects from Europe. The article discusses about how blockchain is ready to boost the internet and make it into a tool that solves some of the world’s most important challenges.

“Providing a legal identity for all of the world’s population by 2030 is one of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals – and may be more relevant than ever with talks of new coronavirus immunity ID documents underway.

In order to have an idea of the status of the world’s current identity problem, about 75% of the people on the planet are currently without a bank account because of their inability to prove their identity via a valid passport, birth certificate, utility bill, or some other means, to complete KYC (Know Your Client) procedures.”

🌎 Elrond is ready to be the internet’s layer of trust on a global scale.

Nash.io to list Elrond Assets on Fiat on-ramp, Payments & Exchange

Digital assets ecosystem Nash.io will list our token on its exchange after our mainnet launch. ERD will be tradeable against $BTC & Coinbase’s USDC in a non-custodial manner, meaning that users retain control of their funds at all times instead of depositing it on an exchange.

Elrond assets will also be usable as a payment option via Nash Pay and will be available for fiat onboarding using Nash Cash, Nash's own fiat ramp solution. The collaboration exposes ERD to new use-cases and makes it available on additional markets, further increasing adoption avenues.

"We are very excited that the concrete actions we took more than one year ago to collaborate with Nash are finally coming to fruition. It's great to see the effort Nash has been investing in refining their platform and user experience. By listing Elrond on Nash after mainnet launch, we intend to significantly increase access and exposure to Elrond, and also enrich Nash's digital currency offering," said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.
