Ticking for 730 epochs without skipping a beat, the Elrond protocol has morphed from a bold idea, into a global internet-scale network and community, ready to take the digital financial system to the next level.🛠️
1/ The latest Elrond protocol version has been released and the mainnet upgrade is in progress. Elrond-go v.1.3.36.0 brings trie snapshot DB fixes.
2/ Heavy internal testing is underway for the Ad-Astra Portal, in preparation for the next integrations with EVM compatible chains. Began setting up the environment and performed final checks for public testing.
3/ The Jungle DEX SCs & interface have been upgraded to allow projects to create a market for their token in a fully automated and permissionless manner. The liquidity requirement has been lowered to $1,000 as well, in order to further catalyse Web3 development and innovation.

11/ - erdjava Maven release
- Implemented a tool to export all ESDT balances for all accounts in every shard
- Documentation improvements
- Bugunt and testing for the tool that exports all tokens held by all the addresses on mainnet
12/ - Data API improvements
- Revalidating our Rosetta implementation, debugging and analysis
- Continued working on removing elrond-go dependency from elastic-indexer-go
- Block proposer identity information on Elrond Explorer
13/ - Account labels in transaction API endpoints
- Automatic account labeling for Maiar DEX contracts & staking providers
- Continued development on the Community Farm SC
- Started working on a tool to check for zero sft/metaesdts/nfts balances in system account
14/ “Stay Hungry Stay Foolish” and tune in soon for more of the #elrondtech which powers the @ElrondNetwork ecosystem.
Powerful blockchain navigation tools are at the core of the Elrond Explorer.
Today’s update brings forward a new set of features that makes it easier to navigate and get relevant information about the ecosystem, nodes and your favorite ESDT tokens, among other improvements. 🧵
2/ Transparency of projects’ locked tokens in accordance with the token issuance schedule is of utmost importance and that’s why locked addresses are now flagged accordingly so that users can identify them more easily.
3/ Additional details are now displayed on the ‘Tokens’ page, such as the total number of tokens and the ecosystem market cap, as well as prices and market caps for each individual token, where available.
1/ The Elrond protocol has been tested & updated in preparation for the June mainnet upgrade release candidate, which will introduce important features leading up to Staking v4, an updated Rosetta API implementation, support for partial mini-block execution, and more.
2/ The Maiar DEX metrics have received an important update, to get its data from Elasticsearch instead of the transaction processor component, resulting in less strain on the system and enhanced performance.
3/11 Our infrastructure partners joined forces with us to secure a decentralized, transparent & highly available passage for assets flowing through the bridge.
Their efforts have been instrumental for launching Ad Astra Portal and add up to their remarkable contributions so far.
1/ A new Rust SDK is available for building dApps and integrating applications with the Elrond blockchain. It is a third party tool developed by @ash_swap who have made it open-source from Day 1. Available here: github.com/bicarus-labs/e…
2/ The Price Discovery mechanism has already reached its 3rd iteration. The latest version of the smart contracts & process additional token mechanisms have been added, penalties have been redesigned and other features have been further refined. Ready for battle testing.
Communities bonding over Web3 technologies have initiated a global cultural shift.
What started as playful experimentation with immutable ledgers, decentralized IDs, inexpensive instant payments & unbiasable SCs is becoming an irreversible systemic change.
1/ The Staking Phase 4 “queue” will be replaced by the “auction list”. Validators shuffled out of the Eligible list will be moved to this auction list, and only the ones with the highest top-up will further be promoted to the waiting list and further made eligible.
2/ The heartbeat messages are undergoing a refactoring with improvements for consolidating messages from multiple senders into one and implementing a request processor that is able to synchronize peer authentication messages across peers.
Calling all developers: meet Elrond Play, the web IDE that uses templates and a nice GUI to help you get started with Smart Contracts on the Elrond Network public devnet.
Get started with Elrond Play and deploy your first contract in just a few minutes.
2/ The lightweight environment is the perfect gateway into Elrond for developers who want to see how is building on Elrond like, without setting up any kind of infrastructure or additional pieces of software.
3/ Several smart contract templates are available to demonstrate just how easy it is to build with Elrond. You will be able to get a basic adder, or lottery contract, and even set up your own multisig smart contract.
