We're excited to officially welcome digital collectible merchandise platform Showcase into the Matic ecosystem!

Showcase is the first blockchain-powered platform allowing influencers to create & sell customized digital collectibles, known as 'Badges'. Over 1K influencers are already using Showcase to connect more closely with their 5m+ fans.

By utilizing Matic's infrastructure, Showcase will be able to deploy their ERC1155 NFT collectibles on our network & will therefore be empowered with the fast, low cost and high throughput transactions required for mass adoption of their unique solution.

We look forward to working with Showcase to bring a new era of digital collectible assets to the mainstream 🤝

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.
