✅ We are ready. Battle of Nodes: Onchained Starts Thursday 4th of June

The Elrond blockchain is ready to launch. We are submitting it for one last public round of testing to showcase its capabilities ahead of minting the 💥 Genesis Block.

Battle of Nodes: Onchained will demonstrate Elrond’s readiness to fulfil the internet’s need for a layer of trust which scales with needs & expectations.

“Battle of Nodes: Onchained is the final and most important step before the Elrond mainnet. Through it, we will demonstrate a robust and performant network leading to the launch. This is a remarkable milestone, and once 15 days have passed where the network runs without interruptions in a high TPS environment, we will know Elrond is ready to go live.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO

The final testnet challenge sets the stage for launching our mainnet as a catalyst for adoption exactly now when market sentiment, consumer attention and enterprise appetite are bursting with interest.

We’re building a joint fund with Decentraland to launch a Mini-Games Creators Program - $100k worth of grants available!

The initiative is designed to incentivise creators to build innovative and exciting games within the Decentraland metaverse by using the Decentraland SDK. Creators will be able to apply for a grant of up to $6k USD worth of MANA/MATIC per team.

In addition to the grants, there will be a series of prizes offered based on performance, including mini-games with the most active users and highest retention rates, the most events hosted, the most MANA transacted, and more.

Creators will have two months to complete their projects, which need to be multiplayer and competitive. Examples of creations include first-person shooters, arcade games, quizzes, escape rooms, sports, and anything else you can conjure up. Let your imagination run wild!

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

Digital assets ecosystem Nash.io will list our token on its exchange immediately 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.
