1/ The following are some of the problems with Web 3:
• Traders must manually check trade or liquidation status
• Token holders aren't alerted of upcoming governance proposals
• Lottery winners and ENS expiration are usually found out with a Tweet
Enter EPNS...
2/ The Ethereum Push Notification Service (EPNS), built on Ethereum, has been dubbed the communication layer for Web 3.0. EPNS solves both notification and communication problems.
3/ EPNS Contract V2 features:
• Incentivized notifications for users
• Platform agnostic
• Spam score and throttling
• User-centric and opt-in notifications
EPNS allows users to create channels and send notifications to all subscribers.
5/ The PIP-01: Push Grants Program was a success where 12% of the circulating supply of $PUSH took place in the voting. With a total budget of $1,000,000, PGP is now fully approved to run for two quarters. Learn more on the EPNS Governance Forum: gov.epns.io
6/ The protocol submitted a grant proposal in December 2021 to Harmony Foundation, which was reviewed and granted $100K early this year. The team will be rolling out EPNS on the Harmony mainnet in Q2 2022: bit.ly/3OvJxBa
7/ Even though push notifications have been with us for over a decade, EPNS is the first protocol to bring them to the Web 3 world. Web 3 will involve a lot of things, and such a service will be essential for the infrastructure of the emerging industry.
A 🧵 about @Momentum_6 portfolio company @MetisDAO, a #Layer2 Ethereum Rollup scaling solution building a highly scalable protocol for next-generation decentralized apps.
1/ The Metis team wants to make the creation of Decentralized Autonomous Companies (DACs) and decentralized apps (dApps) on its platform straightforward and easy for blockchain novices. MetisDAO adopts the Optimistic Rollup framework to address these challenges.
2/ How Metis addresses the Organizational Gap: There are a lot of meaningful infrastructure features that differentiate Metis from other L2s. However, the two primary value propositions are centered around the DAC framework and Polis products.
Over half a million people watched the clip where Do Kwon says "Terra will be the single largest holder of #BTC in the world besides Satoshi." But almost nobody watched the actual interview. Our interns went to work to summarize this lively conversation
1/ Do Kwon talks briefly about his background and then jumps right into defining @terra_money's mission and strategy for becoming the first truly decentralized global-scale, multi-chain stablecoin. He also explains the biggest issues with current collateralized stablecoin models
2/ @stablekwon goes on to share his thoughts on the current regulatory landscape and his experience working with regulators to find a common ground and a common language, and talks briefly about his disinterest in materialism before giving us a tour of his apartment.
In the most significant #blockchain upgrade in history, the #Ethereum network is moving from a #proofofwork (#PoW) to a #proofofstake (#PoS) consensus mechanism to confirm transaction blocks, known as “The Merge”
1/ The two major upgrades, PoS #consensus and #sharding, promise to deliver fast transaction times with low network costs without sacrificing scalability, security, or decentralization. #TheMerge is Phase 0 of the rollout of the Ethereum 2.0 improvements this year.
2/ ‘The Merge’ will replace PoW and the temporary split solution with the more energy-efficient PoS consensus layer, the Beacon Chain. Transaction blocks will no longer be confirmed by solving computationally intensive puzzles.
