1/ Thrilled to finally be able to announce the NEW ELROND WEBSITE, with a coherent vision, branding, and staking page

This has been a long but very fruitful process of clarification, distillation, and repeated iteration

https://elrond.com

2/ Be sure to check the staking information and calculator

A step by step pre-staking guide will be published on the website in the next few hours

https://elrond.com/stake

3/ While the website and staking page are up, we are still performing several testing scenarios for the staking app

Once guides are shared with the community later today & we'll *tentatively* target 31.12 at 19:00 UTC+2 to kickstart the first wave of the staking process

4/ Whether you’re a validator, developer, business, investor or ambassador, this is the perfect time to explore Elrond and get involved

It's also the perfect time to share the @ElrondNetwork story with your friends

5/ 2020 will be the year the world discovers Elrond!

This recent in-depth analysis of the Elrond project, progress and outlook covers our fundamentals in detail and quite accurately.

While we aim to gain visibility as a fast smart contracts execution platform, the "thematic views" about staking and Elrond's place in this space make for an interesting read.

Super excited to announce our Samsung blockchain app - Battle of Elrond!

A mobile multiplayer game where you fight your enemies to capture their crypto treasure.

https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/52590/samsung-blockchain-phones-set-to-feature-elrond-projects-gaming-app

Building useful mobile apps with just a hint of blockchain technology in the background should be the norm. This allows any consumer to enjoy cost reduction and privacy without the intricate blockchain-specific hassle.

Elrond & Samsung have entered into a partnership which will allow all Samsung users direct access to the Elrond blockchain. To demonstrate the seamless integration of blockchains into a consumer app, we’re building a mobile game with crypto microeconomics.

Up to 30% of the estimated $76bn mobile gaming market in 2020 will go to app store fees - that’s $20bn! The fast Elrond blockchain collects negligible fees and will be natively integrated with a massive consumer devices producer.

This can decrease prices, increase developer revenue and let players cash out their in-game earnings. Battle of Elrond is a promising example of how blockchain technology could help create and retain more value for gamers and developers.

Gems and stars are nice but $ERD is real.

With every game you win, you capture more $ERD.

Check out a video teaser for Battle of Elrond: https://youtu.be/sC0pnYFWBeQ
