3 years of continuous and uninterrupted value transfers & immutable data on #MultiversX

Bootstrapped, on robust foundations, and now prepared for significant expansion.

This is the perfect time to explore and get involved.

Weekly #multiversxtech 🛠️ 1/ Saving epoch start bootstrap info into separate static storer in order to be able to fetch nodes config per epoch based and epoch start info.

Guarded accounts & guarded transactions - two terms soon to become the norm in the crypto world.

What's up with them and how #MultiversX users can enjoy bulletproof protection for their wallet accounts starting today, after epoch change.

2/ Think of it this way:

Blockchain accounts are digital asset vaults.

With private keys standing as access doors to them.

Cryptographically guaranteed & globally accessible financial contracts are in a full expansion mode, fueled by competitiveness and collaboration.

The next xLaunchpad startup is ready to bring the largest DeFi verticals by locked value to @MultiversX.

Weekly #multiversxtech 🛠️ 1/ The capabilities of the MultiversX Network are now leveraged by the two most popular digital assets, BTC & ETH. The added support in the Ethereum bridge also opens up opportunities for new integrations and compelling products that make use of them.

.@xPortalApp is nothing short of amazing. A gateway to everything Web3 that brings immense opportunities & new challenges.

To achieve it, we made many difficult decisions. Among them, not supporting Wallet Connect 1.0.

But we have a solution for that. Let's address everything. 2/ In order for anyone to log in to dApps that use WC 1.0, while connecting they need to select the Web Wallet option and from there choose xPortal.

This way, users can quickly access any app from the MultiversX ecosystem in two easy steps.

Arguably one of the biggest and most complex events to ever occur in Web3 is complete.

Transition to @xPortalApp has been successful.

Update the app to explore the new outstanding UI and functionalities!

2/ With 1M+ users across Android and iOS, the previous iteration of @xPortalApp has undergone a complete metamorphosis.

A transformation never before attempted in the industry, that will redefine the meaning & value of digital finance, Web3 and the Metaverse.

The @MultiversX Explorer received a series of new improvements, together with a highly requested feature: Verify Smart Contracts 🔥

See which one is most useful to you 👇 2/ Inspecting Smart Contracts (their source code and associated functions) is now possible in an intuitive format.

Compatible SCs must be deterministically built.

Here are the steps you need to follow to deploy a verifiable SC on the MultiversX Explorer:

Technological innovation often opens up immense opportunities.

Unlocked gradually, with each new module built.

@MultiversX is live & ready, uniquely positioned to bring new adoption and utility, via the new releases and products coming.

Weekly #MultiversXtech 🛠️ 1/ The new MultiversX Explorer has been launched, featuring now: key metrics and an analytics engine; transaction filters by timestamp, address, tx type; rarities, traits and attributes for NFTs, among many others improvements.

Continuing the series of resourceful threads for @MultiversX Builders.

Today is about open source resources pushing the ecosystem forward.

As usual, I’ll start by replying with a few just to kick things off, and then you can share yours in the comments 🛠🔥

The xExchange is COMING.

Energy charging…

Tentative phased launch: 18:00 UTC 2/ So here’s a short breakdown and status of the transition process:

✅ Maintenance mode enabled
✅ Energy snapshot, computing and writing in SC for each account
🛠️ Energy contract verification
⌛ New Farm contracts deployment

Blockchain offers new coordination tools via strong cryptography and game theoretic incentives.

A remarkable breakthrough that is accelerating automation and interconnectivity.

Weekly #multiversxtech 🛠️ 1/ Over 4,000 users helped us test the new xExchange & MEX 2.0 features in a special Battle of Yields event. A lot of improvements have been identified, with many of them already implemented, thanks to the community's invaluable feedback.

We are live with a new wave of features on the @ElrondNetwork Explorer 🔥

Important note: *one of them is linked to the @getMaiar App privacy settings, so users can opt not to display their herotag-related information.

explorer.elrond.com 1/ *Herotags are now visible & searchable 🔍

Web3 identities are an important layer of the Web3 stack.

So they became a part of our blockchain search engine.

The practical viability and utility of blockchain networks are important topics to think about.

The benefits and effects of leveraging a fully sharded architecture go far beyond performance enhancements.

Weekly #elrondtech 🛠️ 1/ Proper reset of warm instances: finalization and tests. We have been experimenting with them for a while for read-only SC queries and now they are ready for full use. Warm instances will bring the biggest SC execution optimization.

2 years of mainnet 🌎

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.🛠️

It's time to build! Weekly #elrondtech 👇 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.

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.

Advanced models & technologies are available, ready to improve upon centuries-old economics, opaque derivatives & outdated platforms.

Bringing a new financial system: open, transparent, scalable & accessible to anyone, anywhere.

Get ready for DeFi 2.0

Weekly #elrondtech 🛠️ 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.

The @ElrondNetwork <> #Ethereum bridge is LIVE!

Fully decentralized. Security first design. Battle tested.

Opening new opportunities for dApps, products and protocols to expand into a truly scalable, highly secure and efficient blockchain ecosystem.

elrond.com/blog/ad-astra-… 2/11 The ‘Ad Astra Portal’ is set up as a network of relayers operated in collaboration with @StakeCapital, @everstake_pool, @P2Pvalidator, @staking_agency and @IstariVision, who jointly operate infrastructure supporting $10B USD worth of staked crypto assets.

The bridge that will connect @ElrondNetwork to Ethereum, and soon to other EVM chains, is almost ready.

An influx of new capital, denominated in multiple cross-chain assets, will mark the start for the next DeFi 2.0 superwave.

Weekly #elrondtech 🛠️ 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…

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.

Weekly #elrondtech 🛠 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.
