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.

Elrond integrates with data validation and discoverability public blockchain Shyft Network

We are excited to announce our partnership with Shyft, a public blockchain protocol designed to aggregate and embed trust & validation into data stored on public & private ecosystems, as well as permissioned & permissionless networks.

As part of the agreement, the Elrond protocol will be added to Shyft’s Byfrost bridging infrastructure, enabling interoperability with data originating from other blockchains such as Algorand & Polkadot. The FATF Travel Rule solution for VASPs that Shyft is currently developing together with the Top 10 Crypto Exchanges will also be deployed on Elrond.

Furthermore, Shyft Network’s identity, KYC & data sharing infrastructure will be cross-deployed on our blockchain, enabling applications built on Elrond to access European and global market infrastructure for enterprises, governments, dApps, and users.

“The new internet technology stack we are building will significantly increase value exchange efficiency at a global level, and will be usable in manners that are compliant with national & global regulations, to enable rapid widespread adoption. Our integration with the Shyft Network protocol opens up the Elrond ecosystem for integration in highly regulated environments and complex ecosystems spanning multiple public & private data silos.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO

While this will be of increasing significance for the whole blockchain space, it is actually just the beginning for the Elrond ecosystem. Years from now, we will look back at this moment, as the instrumental transition from a promising but experimental technology, to the most important technology of the decades that followed" said Beniamin.

Elrond’s architecture & tech stacked up against other contenders by Cointelegraph

Beniamin was recently interviewed by Cointelegraph, who asked about Elrond’s tech and how it compares to other contenders in the space, including Ethereum 2.0, Cardano, EOS & Algorand.

“The difference is that Ethereum is trying to launch this in two years, where Elrond is launching this right now. So we have finished the whole technology. Everything is working. We can process 10,000 thousand transactions per second right now.”

“Compared to all the other ones, Elrond has a much more fundamentally performant architecture. So we beat them in any way you can measure. From a resource reward perspective for PoS architectures, we have a more competitive reward system right now for validators.”
