Matic introduces Plasma Predicates - one step towards generalized Plasma

We have been working hard on various fronts to introduce generalised scaling techniques, while still ensuring security. We are therefore proud to announce that Matic will support Plasma Predicates in our upcoming release.

This is the first time predicates are being used in a production-ready system & we couldn’t be more excited to be pioneering its implementation.

Implementing Plasma predicates allows us to now deploy newer state transition support to our Plasma contracts, without having to re-deploy our existing root contracts.

Now devs can add new Plasma functionality by creating a new contract that implements the necessary logic for that feature and then have our main contract reference the new one. These external contracts are called ‘predicates’.

Here’s to the next big development milestone in the journey of Matic🥂

Introducing Heimdall and Bor - Matic’s Validator and Block Production layers

Matic Network is a hybrid Plasma + Proof-of-Stake (PoS) platform that uses a dual-consensus architecture to optimize for speed and decentralization. We have been actively working on the Validator and Block Producer nodes iteration, which will be released in the upcoming Beta mainnet.

Heimdall, meaning ‘the All-Protector’ is our Proof-of-Stake Verifier layer, which is responsible for checkpointing a representation of the Plasma blocks to the main chain in our architecture.

The Bor node, or the Block Producer implementation, is the sidechain operator which is EVM-compatible. Block Producers are chosen from the Validator set and are shuffled using historical Ethereum block hashes. However we are exploring sources of randomness for this selection.

We are excited to be rolling out these crucial components of our network in our upcoming Beta mainnet release!

Announcing the Battle of Nodes - an epic Testnet-as-a-Battleground event

In order to make Elrond a sustainable layer that will stand tall in the face of any challenge, we are building antifragility into its core. Right from the testnet phase we invite everyone to discover what it means to run a node, earn rewards, and put the network through a trial by fire so it will emerge stronger.

The Battle of Nodes will feature an adversarial environment where test node operators will be rewarded for securing the network and even more so for trying to attack it.

Some will attack. Some will secure. You might do both. How will you win?

Aphelion DEX (built on NEO) is closing down. This is one of the many which will close down soon, CEX & DEX likewise. They can't sustain without real volume and revenue.

"It is with great disapointment we must report our groundbreaking DEX and project is taking steps to close down. After nearly 2 years and successful applications across all channels and 10s of thousands of lines of open source code that the market has finally taken its toll. Ultimately, users are not using the DEX and trading NEO based assets overall which makes the project unsustainable. We’ve been operating at a loss for all of 2019 and altough we raised capital to incorporate ETH and BTC into our wallet it was too little too late. That coupled with our current token value has lead to our decision. We wish the community and the industry the best moving forward."

We are thrilled to announce that Matic Network is joining the Binance Chain Alliance!

The alliance focuses on helping to grow the Binance Chain ecosystem by supporting other projects transitioning onto Binance Chain, offering support in multiple areas.

We are delighted to become further integrated in Binance Chain’s growing ecosystem. Together, we will accelerate the advancement of Binance’s decentralized network.

Hey Everyone,

We wrapped up the Game Oasis Hackathon Bengaluru chapter last week.

With more than 500 applicants registering, about 100+ developers participated in the grueling 30-hour hackathon.

Four teams won the hack rewards for building games on Marlin Protocol, showcasing that decentralized, lag-free, multiplayer games with streaming capabilities can be built using blockchain technology. As early adopters of new technology, the video game industry seems to be leading the charge towards blockchain adoption and quite possibly, the future of gaming. 💯
