Abstract:

OptionRoom is a governed oracle and forecast protocol built on Polkadot. OptionRoom aim is to create a scalable protocol with multiple use cases: from oracle as a service to limitless event derivates.

Protocol Features:

OaaS: User governed Oracle as a service: OptionRoom has the ability to serve as an OaaS — Oracle as a Service where oracle requests are solved by governance.

User governed forecast market protocol: OptionRoom allows users to create and participate in event derivatives that are pegged to real-world outcomes by governance consensus

Dual token model: Dual token model: ROOM serving as the utility token of OptionRoom and COURT…

OKEx, the world’s 5th largest crypto exchange is all set to launch trading for Tether (USDT) futures on the 14th of November. The exchange will offer a linear futures contract with 10x leverage.

Will a USDT- based Contract Reduce Risks?

The contract will be settled daily and will have pairs with Bitcoin (BTC), EOS, Ether (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), XRP, Ethereum Classic (ETC), Bitcoin SV (BSV) and Tron (TRX) and Litecoin(LTC). According to OKEx, this stablecoin-based derivatives contracts will be beneficial for traders and will help them navigate the market and take calculated risks with increased efficiency. …

Samsung has integrated Elrond (ERD) token on its blockchain wallet.

Revealing the news exclusively to The Block on Thursday, Elrond said Samsung has added support for the ERD token into its blockchain ecosystem in a “mutually beneficial” partnership.

Samsung users will get easy access to the token and decentralized applications (dApps) built on the Elrond network, while Elrond will get direct exposure to Samsung’s global customer base to reach out to masses, said Elrond. One ERD token is currently worth $0.001774.

Elrond did not provide details on which dApp will be first released but said it will be a consumer…

Elrond, a user-friendly blockchain platform for programmable money and unstoppable applications, recently hosted Blockchain C-Level Industry briefing event at Hotel Shangri-La on September 9, tackling the trilemma of scalability, decentralization, and security with blockchain applications. The event was organized by Agora & Woodstock Fund.

Enhanced Throughput and Transaction Efficiency

Elrond has been successful with its involvement with major companies in the South Korean blockchain industry. The firm hosted a private conference that was joined by enterprises, service providers & institutional investors in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, a city renowned for leading blockchain innovation, adoption, and investment. …

12,000,000 ERD rewarded so far! Be part of wave 3 with higher reward than the previous one. Associate with a project that have real value and solving the problem of blockchain public infrastructure. Listed on Binance, Binance DEX, BitMax, Dcoin and Bilaxy with BTC, USDT, USDC, BNB and ETH pairs. More exchanges are on the pipelines for last quarter of this year.

A scalable value transfer protocol for the digital economy

.10k tx/sec .minimal latency .negligible fees

ADAPTIVE STATE SHARDING

Comparable in throughput as to centralized counterparts.

Their architecture goes beyond state of the art and can be seen as an augmentation of the existing models, improving the performance while focusing to achieve a better nash equilibrium state between security, scalability and decentralization.

SECURE PROOF OF STAKE

Minimal energy and computational requirements.

Elrond eliminates the need for intensive PoW consensus algorithms and proposes a novel and more robust Secure Proof of Stake consensus, enhancing intra-shard communication and pruning the blockchain state to the most essential.

DECENTRALIZED

Increased security due to the randomly selected block proposer.

Elrond introduces an improvement which adds security and reduces latency, allowing each node in the shard to determine the members of the consensus…

One of the platforms pushing the envelope in the underlying technology is Elrond, a high-value transfer network that relies on secure proof-of-stake consensus and a bleeding-edge integration of sharding with a public blockchain.

Sharding is an ambitious take on scaling public blockchains at the convergence of decades-old technology for horizontal database partitioning and decentralized networks. Elrond has made some significant headway producing a working sharding implementation, and already has a testnet live with an early version of their platform.

Elrond is a new blockchain architecture, designed from scratch to bring a 1000-fold cumulative improvement in throughput and execution speed. To…

PROBLEM & SOLUTION

Elrond is creating a highly Scalable Public Blockchain with Adaptive State Sharding and Secure Proof of Stake

Let’s debunk what is Elrond and how it aims to get adoption.

In general, there are several ways in which blockchain and cryptocurrency developers are trying to improve transaction speed in the blockchain, and sharding is one such method. Sharding is a scaling technique inspired by traditional concepts of database optimization. Sharding divides the data into several pieces placed on different environments to be processed.

In general, the more validators and shards, the more transactions the network can process. Elrond introduces a novel…

Through the most advanced validation of Adaptive State Sharding, Elrond Network makes decentralization, without any lapse in security, a reality for the masses. Elrond can enable the first network scalable enough to sustain the through demands of the smart cities of the future.

Blockchain technology successfully penetrated mainstream airways in 2017. Most of the mass media exposure, though, focused on the net market cap of all cryptocurrencies, which nearly reached the trillion-dollar milestone. …
