Dear Community, over the last few weeks we have aligned internally for the next major steps in 2022. We hope you're all just as excited as we are for the coming months. Now it’s time for a thread sharing our thoughts for 2022. Read on down below 👇 First of all, we’ve seen that blockchain interoperability gained a lot of momentum already for 2022, being covered in recent reports by @MessariCrypto, @Cointelegraph and by opinion leaders, such as @VitalikButerin, who tweeted recently:

Let’s talk about the really interesting stuff! Today, we will take a closer look at what to expect from the upcoming Pantos Prototype as a Service node provider. For the beta-testing phase, we will provide a command-line interface for Ethereum and BSC tokens, augmented with service node interaction functions.

Pantos service nodes will be the first part of the Pantos network where PAN holders can contribute with services provided in exchange for service fees. Read today for some details 👇 To improve the security of the Pantos network we distinguish between Pantos oracle nodes and Pantos service nodes. To transfer PAN from one blockchain to another, an interested party can delegate the required on-chain transactions to a service node.

Last week, we released our update on Oracle Scalability. In that post, we also deep-dived into the first possible use cases for the PAN token, but how would an actual token transfer work in this current approach and what are the use cases for the PAN token? Please be aware that the explained proceedings are not finalised and contain theoretical figures. We are still researching several different approaches, as our protocol requires a certain amount of flexibility in order to ensure the best outcome.

We are happy to share that a research paper on smart contract invocation across different blockchains co-authored by our CDL-BOT Head, Stefan Schulte, was accepted to the IEEE International Conference on Decentralized Applications and Infrastructures 2021: arxiv.org/abs/2010.07352 Scientific publications follow a rigorous scheme. For fixed deadlines, researchers submit their findings formatted for a specific workshop, conference or journal. These documents are then reviewed by anonymous peers, which serves as a basis for accepting a paper for publication.
