  • Three altcoins flying under the radar — QUACK, PHA, and AGIX — have delivered gains of up to 200 percent in a single week.
  • The world’s largest altcoin ETH has underperformed with whale addresses dropping 3.3 million  ETH over the last five weeks.

  • Bitcoin and some of the most popular altcoins have remained more or less steady over the last week. However, despite this, some of the underdog altcoins have outperformed the market giving investors massive returns over the same period.

    Let’s discuss some altcoins that have moved investors’ wealth massively. One of the top altcoin performers over the last seven days is Rich Quack (QUACK). The QUACK price rallied more than 216 percent from a weekly low of $0.00000000106 to a high of $0.00000000335. Since then QUACK has retraced partially and is currently trading at $0.000000002524.

    QUACK is a native currency of Rich Quack, a community-driven project that seeks to become a multi-chain launch ecosystem and help bring next-generation crypto protocols to life.

    Another top-performing altcoin over the last week is PHA which rallied 207 percent from a weekly low of $0.071 to a high of $0.218. PHA is the native asset of the Phala Network, a blockchain project that facilitates massive cloud processing without compromising on data confidentiality. From the weekly high, PHA has also undergone partial retracement and is currently trading at $0.19.

    The third altcoin that made significant gains is SingularityNET (AGIX). The AGIX crypto surged more than 188 percent from a seven-day low of $0.042 to a high of $0.121. The AGIX price has, however, dipped significantly from its weekly high. SingularityNET is a project that seeks to become a blockchain-based marketplace for artificial intelligence services. These services could range from individual AI algorithms to standalone AI applications.

    Other top altcoin performers

    Last week, we at CryptoNewsFlash also reported some of the well-known altcoins that have been on traders’ radars recently. Oracle service provider Chainlink (LINK) is one of the most popular altcoins gathering steam with high accumulation in this bear phase.

    Alike the previous bear market cycle of 2018-2019, LINK is outperforming some of the top altcoins currently in the market. The $6-$8 is turning out to be a strong accumulation for LINK. A breakout above $8 could set up LINK for a major price rally.

    Similarly, another such altcoin on traders’ radar is Shushiswap (SUSHI) which has shown a strong technical setup while preparing for a major move northwards.

    Crypto altcoin GXC is also on traders’ radar. GXC is the native asset of the data economy blockchain GXChain. This is a permissionless blockchain designed to facilitate data storage, uploading,  computation, and exchange for enterprises.

    While these altcoins under the radar are making big moves, the world’s largest altcoin Ethereum (ETH) has shown weakness. As per data provider Santiment: «Ethereum’s shark & whale addresses (holding 100 to 1M $ETH) have dropped 3.3M $ETH in just the past 5 weeks. This equates to about $4.2B in dumped coins. The asset’s price vs. #Bitcoin has ebbed and flowed based on the behavior of these key stakeholders».

  • Ripple engineers reveal a new version of XRPL sidechains.
  • The new design offers greater simplicity and addresses issues such as fee escalation.

  • RippleX, the developer subsidiary of blockchain firm, Ripple, will revamp the design of the XRP ledger sidechains, as revealed in a recent update according to a recent update by Scott Determan, one of Ripple’s software engineers. As widely reported in various media, David Schwartz (Ripple’s CTO) suggested the idea of a federated sidechain in 2021.

    This feature will enable XRPL to become a top Ethereum competitor as it would also be able to implement smart contracts. Also, they can unlock more tokenization features. It can be possible to test new features on the XRPL without compromising their functionality because sidechains have a custom set of transactions and validators. Sidechains utilize a feature known as the federator to connect with the mainnet.

    However, the «witness» feature will replace the federator under the new proposal. The witness feature brings greater simplicity and gives various services the freedom to act independently and not rely on a shared entity. This new design also solves issues like fee escalation and transition throughput.

    Thus, users can specify the fee since the server no longer submits transactions. Since the witness server is simple, developers can easily test new features under the proposal. Also, they can fix several vulnerabilities.

    XRPL validators vote on NFT-related proposal

    According to Ripple’s Vice President of Operations and Corporate Strategy, Emi Yoshikawa, XRPL validators are voting on an XLS-20 amendment to allow native non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Yoshikawa said, up to 80 percent of the validators must vote in support of the proposal over the next two weeks before the passage of this proposal.

    RippleX requested feedback on the proposal from developers last May. Earlier in the year, Ripple’s developer subsidiary issued the NFT-devnet, enabling developers to test various NFT capabilities. RippleX is confident its XRP ledger can support the XLS-20 standard so long the testing is thorough.

    The XRPL claims it is perfectly suitable for NFTs since it consumes extremely low energy, charges cheap fees and has a high throughput. In September 2021, Ripple launched a $250 million fund to sponsor creators that released their NFTs on the XRP ledger. The fund onboarded some creators earlier in the year, notably the creator of Michael Jordan’s visual autobiography.

    Auctioning and minting are some of the in-built features in the XLS-20 standard that simplify the NFT creation process. Two months ago, Ripple and CrossTower (a Web3 company) partnered to showcase XRPL-built NFTs on CrossTower’s NFT marketplace.

    Meanwhile, data from blockchain watchdog, Whale Alert, states that crypto exchange, Kraken, moved 500 million XRP tokens to an unnamed wallet. These tokens, valued at $161.2 million, are the biggest amount received by any wallet since November 2021, when Kraken also moved 300 million XRP tokens to an anonymous wallet. The latest data from Coinmarketcap shows that XRP trades at $0.33 and is up 1.52 percent in the last 24 hours.

    Imagine being paid to play games on the internet. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, that’s where play-to-earn (P2E) games come in! With the bold ambition of making gaming a sustainable livelihood, P2E games usher in a completely new age.

    For the benefit of the readers, this article will be structured into the following parts:

    • Why do traditional internet games’ business models suck?
    • Introduction to P2E games’ business models
    • How do you identify games for sustainable revenue?
    • Closing Thoughts

    With that, let’s get right into it.

    Why do traditional internet games’ business models suck?

    The first-ever computer game was developed back in 1939. It was Nimtron and a two-player mathematical game demonstrated in the 1939-40 edition of The World’s Fair. And it was not until 1973 that we found our first multiplayer game in Empire. Then in 1975 came Gunfight, which brought online gaming to households. From here on, there was no looking back. The games only got better in terms of graphics and experience. The next couple of decades saw online games transition from the likes of Runescape to Call of Duty and Clash of Clans.

    However, there hasn’t been any significant shift on their business front. Predominantly, most games as of today follow either one of these two business models:

    • Pay-to-Play Model: Under this model, the developers charge players for downloading their games. This model was the industry-best and held dominion until the rise of the free-to-play model.
    • Free-to-Play Model: Under this model, the developers do not charge players any fees for downloading their games. Instead, they branched into other revenue streams such as advertisements and in-app purchases like upgrades, special abilities, unique items, and expansion packs.

    A common issue that runs through these models is their direct lack of real-world value for players. Though indeed, this industry has successfully minted many new-age millionaires in gamers, the fact remains that a good chunk of their earnings is driven by advertisements/marketing and not the game economy itself. Consequently, most game folks are not fairly compensated for their contribution to the ecosystem. Add to this list the divide created by these models. Wealthy players naturally have the edge over the rest as they are more willing to buy in-game items to boost their performance. This ruins the UX for the other gamers.

    Introduction to P2E Games’ Business Models

    As the name suggests, P2E games are based on the play-to-earn business model. So essentially, it is about creating a direct source of revenue for gamers contributing to the game by being active on it. At its core, there are two critical value-adds of this:

    • Direct Monetary Sources: In the traditional gaming ecosystem, the dominant way for gamers to earn money is via marketing/advertising. Gamers fail to establish a direct monetary relationship with the game ecosystem itself. For example, when streamers play Fortnite, it’s not like Epic Games directly is paying them for their contribution. Instead, it’s the advertisers paying to get their ads on. In the long run, this runs contrary to UX experience. So, P2E games have devised a new model where the ecosystem captures value and transfers it to the players according to their contribution.
    • Better UX: A game studio has to spend an astronomical sum on marketing to ensure its visibility amongst players. But a play-to-earn game does not need to do that, as players normally flock to it by word of mouth because of the real-world value on offer. This allows the game studios to allocate more funds toward the game’s development.
    • Asset-Ownership for Players: One of the most significant issues with online games is the lack of ownership. Your super rare skin on Valorant is only limited to the game ecosystem. With the help of NFTs, P2E games allow players to own in-game assets in real life and drive monetary value from them. Play-to-earn model provides players ownership over their in-game purchases with the help of NFTs and enables players to generate revenue from these items.

     

    How do you identify games for sustainable revenue?

    To understand this, we need to appreciate that P2E games reward their players in native tokens. This opens up a significant vulnerability: token price inflation. If the game starts minting too much of their token without any corresponding increase in value capture, then the token price will considerably decline. This has been the case with many games in the past. Axie Infinity, for example, suffers from this issue a lot. Due to their unsustainable game economics, it becomes challenging for the late entrants into the game to get their footing and make a sustainable living off of it. Such aspects can be improved and taken care of by employing good game economics for the players. This encompasses having a realistic token supply, incorporating NFTs for asset ownership, and locking the value created within the ecosystem.

    So to identify P2E games for sustainable revenue, you need to consider the following:

    • moderate token supply
    • good value capture mechanisms
    • mechanisms to circulate value within the system

    Closing Thoughts

    P2E games are here to stay! At this point, many might be tempted to call it just another crypto Ponzi scheme, but it’s seeing growing interest from various blocks. Krafton, a traditional game studio giant, has expressed interest in launching P2E games on Solana. On top of this, the funding spree for P2E games is in full swing as everybody believes that P2E is the future.

    If you’re a gamer, there’s never a better time to start. You can become a pioneer in the P2E model and lead the way. But having said that, you must be wary of the games you go for. Make sure the game ecosystem is sustainable and fit for earnings in the long run. That’s going to be all from my side.

    Happy gaming!

  • As part of the partnership, Travelex Bank will leverage the RippleNet On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) solution for instant payments.
  • Ripple is confident that this partnership will help in transforming Brazil’s payments industry to a good extent.

  • Despite its ongoing battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), blockchain startup Ripple continues to expand in other markets. On Wednesday, August 17, Ripple Inc announced its partnership with Latin American bank Travelex to bring crypto-enabled enterprise payment solutions to Brazil.

    The blockchain startup shall be launching its much popular RippleNet On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) solution in Brazil. This also makes Travelex the first bank in entire Latin America to use Ripple’s ODL solution.

    Ripple’s native cryptocurrency XRP powers its ODL payment solution which allows customers to make cross-border payments instantly and at a very low cost. It does this without the need for any pre-funded capital at the receiver’s end. Commenting on the development, Ripple CEO Brad Garlighouse said:

    Brazil is a key market for Ripple given its importance as an anchor to business in Latin America, its openness to crypto and country-wide initiatives that promote fintech innovation. As a result, the market is experiencing an explosion of activity as institutions look to adopt crypto and blockchain technology to solve customer pain points.

    We are excited to collaborate with an innovative partner like Travelex Bank to help move money more efficiently for the benefit of its customers across Brazil.

    The RippleNet platform leverages blockchain technology to collaborate with global payment networks. It simplifies the settlement process by helping associated networks with the availability of instant liquidity.

    The growing crypto economy of Latin America

    Some of the big countries in Brazil and Argentina have been facing the problem of high inflation and thus crypto adoption in these countries has been growing. Thus, Brazil has taken some proactive measures to regulate its crypto industry. Its regulatory framework helps to protect consumers while simultaneously fostering innovation.

    Brazil settles $780 billion worth of payments every year which makes it a lucrative market for Ripple. The blockchain startup said that its customers will immensely benefit from instant and low-cost payments by leveraging the power of crypto.

    On the other hand, Travelex Bank noted that it wishes to simplify customers’ access to foreign money. As a result, it’s working on reviving its services including international payments and remittances. Besides, it’s also working on multicurrency prepaid cards. Ana Tena, CEO of Travelex Bank Brazil said:

    Travelex Bank is a 100% digital and 100% personal bank. We were the first exclusive foreign exchange bank approved and regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil. Focused on e-Fx transactions, we embrace tech to offer the best solutions to individuals and companies of all sizes and for the most diverse sectors.

  • The Ethereum co-founder said that XRP lost its right to protection when they called ETH Chinese-controlled.
  • Ripple CTO said that Buterin is playing foul play by allowing the government to snuff anyone who disagrees with his views.

  • In a fresh development, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has once again expressed his resentment towards Ripple’s native crypto XRP. Buterin’s comments came during the discussion of new regulations in Canada that puts certain restrictions on digital assets.

    The new regulations put restrictions on one of the largest smart contract platforms, Solana (SOL). Commenting on it, one of the Ethereum community members said that he wouldn’t have bothered if XRP was restricted. Responding to it, Buterin said: «XRP already lost their right to protection when they tried to throw us under the bus as «China-controlled».

    In his recent tweet, Buterin also recalled his previous tweet from December 2020, when Ripple called Bitcoin and Ethereum Chinese-controlled.

    December 2020 was the time when the U.S. SEC slapped lawsuits on Ripple for their sale of the XRP tokens as unregistered securities. To date, Ripple has been fighting the battle in court with the SEC. There have been multiple hearings this year as crypto experts continue to predict the possible outcome of the case.

    Earlier this week, Ripple registered a milestone victory as judge Sarah Netburn allowed Ripple to authenticate seven videos of the speeches by previous SEC employees.

    However, over the Canadian regulatory measures, Vitalik Buterin praised Ethereum community member David Hoffman for pushing against new regulatory laws. Buterin said:

    Glad to see Ethereum people pushing against regulations that privilege ETH over other legitimate cryptocurrencies.

    Ripple’s CTO gives a sharp response

    Vitalik Buterin’s comments on XRP certainly didn’t go well with the XRP community who have been patiently waiting over their legal battle with the SEC. Interestingly, Buterin’s comments garnered a sharp response from Ripple CTO David Schwartz.

    The Ripple CTO said: «The government should punish projects that disagree with our narrative» seems pretty on brand for ETH. He further went out comparing miners in a PoW system with shareholders of a public listed company. Davis Schwartz noted:

    I do think it’s perfectly fair to analogize miners in PoW systems to stockholders in companies. Just as eBay’s stockholders earn from the residual friction between buyers and sellers that eBay does not remove, so do miners in ETH and BTC.

    Just as eBay stockholders want to leave as much friction between buyers and sellers as they can because that’s their revenue stream, so do miners in ETH and BTC. That’s part of why they have higher fees than XRPL.

    Do you think this debate should be settled by the government or the market, @VitalikButerin? he asked. 

    In their recent defense against the SEC, Ripple has been quoting the speech from former SEC commissioner William Hinman wherein he explained how ETH is not a security.

  • In a tweet, pro-Ripple lawyer Jeremy Hogan clarified that authentication is a major thing in litigation, and should not be hindered.
    • Bob Mason, a leading crypto analyst has predicted that XRP could face three major resistance levels.

    The court case between the US Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) and Ripple has taken a new turn after a recent court decision. According to reports, the presiding judge Sarah Netburn approved the motion of the payment giant to serve subpoenas in a bid to ensure that videos of SEC officials’ public remarks are authenticated. 

    It is important to note that the SEC launched an objection over the fact that Ripple was attempting to reopen a fact discovery. However, this was dismissed by Judge Sarah Netburn. This means seven SEC officials would be served with two Subpoenas. The current development of the case is very crucial to Ripple as the outcome of the video authentication could have a whole lot of effect on its defense. According to reports, proponents expect a positive outcome from the subpoenas, and this coupled with the Ripples on-demand liquidity platform could cause an XRP price surge.

    A recall, that Ripple lawyers recently filed a petition against SEC, accusing them of suppressing and coercing the company. 

    In a tweet, pro-Ripple lawyer Jeremy Hogan clarified that authentication is a major thing in litigation, and should not be hindered.

    Ripple simply wants to authenticate 7 videos of SEC employees giving speeches and the SEC is messing around AGAIN with it (the SEC played games in responding originally last year). Authentication is standard stuff in litigation and should not be this difficult.

    Former SEC commissioner’s remark could favor Ripple

    Hogan also urged the court to pay attention to a comment made by Robert Jackson, the former SEC commissioner.

    In January, Jackson was quoted in a Forbes article claiming that the SEC deliberately avoided clarity on the direction of the status of digital assets as securities.

    Bob Mason, a leading crypto analyst has predicted a rally of $0.41 for XRP. However, he believes that the asset could face three major resistance levels. In his analysis, Mason mentioned that the first resistance level is $0.3871, the second is $0.3986, and the third is $0.4167. In this case, the bullish outlook would be invalidated if the price fails to break the second resistance level and falls to $0.3443. 

    Rudy Fares, a crypto analyst also observed that the XRP price has for long consolidated between $0.3 to $0.4. This is an indication that the price is undervalued and has lagged compared to the likes of Matic. Fares, however, believes that this could change when XRP goes past $0.4.

    According to him, the price would surge and catch up with other altcoins. XRP has been struggling to bounce back after several crypto exchanges delisted it pending the court outcome.

  • Post the liquidity attack, Acala managed to freeze the erroneously minted tokens while pushing the network into maintenance mode.
  • However, community members have questioned Acala’s claims of aUSD stablecoin being censorship-resistant.

  • Over the last weekend, the Acala Network witnessed a major depeg of its aUSD stablecoin which dropped to a low of $0.58. This happened as the hackers flooded more than $1.2 billion worth of aUSD stablecoins in the network.

    Acala was quick to take notice of the matter and pause all network operations. In a quick message, Polkadot’s DeFi hub Acala wrote:

    We have noticed a configuration issue of the Honzon protocol which affects aUSD. We are passing an urgent vote to pause operations on Acala, while we investigate and mitigate the issue.

    After a detailed investigation, the Acala team found that there was some issue with the misconfiguration of the IBTC/aUSD liquidity pool. The hacker exploited this bug which resulted in the minting of $1.2 billion worth of aUSD stablecoins.

    As a result, the stablecoin started to depeg in a major way which forced the Acala team to immediately freeze the erroneously minted tokens and thus pushing the network into a maintenance mode. However, this also led to the halt of other features on the Acala Network such as swaps and xcm, the cross-chain communications on Polkadot. Besides, Acala has also halted the oracle pallet price feeds until “further notice”.

    Acala rectifies the issue

    In response, Acala noted that they have rectified the misconfigurations and wallet addresses which have erroneously minted aUSD. Acala wrote:

    Based on preliminary on-chain tracing, 99%+ of the errorneously minted aUSD remain on Acala parachain with a small proportion of errorneously minted aUSD being swapped for ACA and other tokens on Acala parachain.

    If you are a whitehat/recipient of errorneously minted aUSD or swapped token from these aUSD that are not on Acala, please transfer them to addresses below.  On Polkadot: 13YMK2eYoAvStnzReuxBjMrAvPXmmdsURwZvc62PrdXimbNy. On Moonbeam: 0x7369626cd0070000000000000000000000000000 5/

    Acala has said that it will continue with the on-chain activity trace and share the results with the community. This will helps towards a community-driven proposal and decision-making to resolve the erroneous minting of aUSD and restore the USD peg.

    After dropping a lot on Sunday, the Dollar peg for Acala has recovered to an extent. Currently, as of press time, aUSD is trading at 90 cents.

    How can Acala control a DeFi hub?

    The recent action by Acala has also sparked the debate about the decentralization of the Acala network. Acala serves as a decentralized finance (DeFi) hub that issues the aUSD stablecoin on the Polkadot blockchain network.

    The aUSD has been a crypto-backed stablecoin that according to Acala is censorship-resistant. As Acala managed to freeze the protocol so swiftly, the community members questioned Acala’s claims of aUSD being censorship-resistant.

  • Благодаря партнерству участники Reddit могут покупать eth er в поддерживаемых приложениях Reddit с помощью FTX Pay.
  • По словам генерального директора FTX, это партнерство подтверждает стремление FTX предоставить онлайн-сообществам возможность использовать технологию блокчейн.

  • Согласно официальному заявлению, ведущая криптовалютная биржа FTX вступает в партнерство с популярной социальной сетью Reddit. По условиям сделки, пользователи Reddit (известные как Redditors) могут использовать заработанные очки сообщества для совершения транзакций на цепочке. Redditors смогут совершать эти транзакции с помощью собственного платежного решения биржи — FTX Pay.

    Стоит отметить, что Reddit запустил свою инициативу по начислению очков сообщества в прошлом году после сотрудничества с Arbitrum, лучшим решением для масштабирования Ethereum. Очки сообщества Reddit являются мерой вклада и репутации Redditors в различных сообществах на Reddit. Благодаря технологии Arbitrum, Redditors могут использовать свои баллы сообщества в любом месте.

    Некоторые поощрения, которые Redditors получают с помощью своих баллов сообщества, включают уникальные преимущества членства и доступ к токенам сообщества. Кроме того, владельцы баллов могут дарить свои баллы достойным членам сообщества за хорошее поведение или публикацию интересного контента. Согласно объявлению, участники Reddit могут покупать эфир с помощью FTX Pay с любой платформы, поддерживающей приложения Reddit.

    Таким образом, они смогут оплачивать бензин с помощью заработанных баллов сообщества. Нирадж Шет, инженер-программист Redditt, прокомментировал, что команда Reddit продолжает стремиться к улучшению сообществ Reddit и Reddit в целом. Он добавил, что децентрализованная и самоподдерживающаяся технология блокчейн является одним из способов достижения этой цели. «Мы можем сделать это в масштабе благодаря нашему партнерству с FTX».

    В своих комментариях генеральный директор FTX Сэм Банкман-Фрид сказал, что FTX еще раз доказала, что она стремится дать возможность онлайн-сообществам оптимизировать возможности технологии блокчейн. Он добавил, что после интеграции FTX Pay с пунктами сообщества Reddit клиентский опыт стал беспроблемным.

    Генеральный директор FTX также отметил, что партнерство будет способствовать развитию утилит Web3. Этот шаг Reddit схож с функцией биткоин-чаевых в Твиттере. Напомним, что Twitter интегрировал систему вознаграждений на основе блокчейна в свою платформу в начале года.

    Off-chain Labs запускает Arbitrum Nova

    Новости о партнерстве FTX-Reddit последовали за объявлением во вторник о том, что Off-chain Labs запустит сеть Arbitrum Nova. Off-chain Labs — это команда разработчиков, стоящая за сетью Arbitrum. Согласно официальному заявлению, Off-chain Labs планирует сделать Nova лучшим решением для социальных и игровых приложений Web3.

    Помимо FTX и Reddit, google cloud, QuickNode и Consensys вошли в «Комитет по доступности данных» Nova после их активного участия в запуске. Reddit использует технологию блокчейн уже несколько лет. Популярный сайт социальных обсуждений ранее позволял пользователям использовать биткоин для оплаты премиум-членства до 2018 года, когда это прекратилось.

    В ноябре 2021 года один из основателей сайта, Алексис Оганян, запустил инвестиционный фонд Web3 в размере 100 миллионов долларов. Примерно через месяц Оганян в партнерстве с компанией polygon (решение для масштабирования Ethereum) запустил еще один фонд Web3 и социальных сетей объемом 200 млн долларов.

  • Как только компания Nuri объявила о своей неплатежеспособности, ее приложение стало пользоваться большим спросом у клиентов, которые решали проблемы с выводом средств.
  • Нури заверил, что средства всех клиентов находятся в абсолютной безопасности благодаря партнерству с Solarisbank AG.

  • Обвал криптовалютного рынка в этом году привел к выходу из бизнеса некоторых сильнейших игроков. Во вторник, 9 августа, немецкий криптовалютный стартап-банк Nuri подал заявление о банкротстве, ссылаясь на крупные распродажи криптовалют.

    Nuri также отметил неплатежеспособность Celsius и других криптофондов как причину этого шага. Немецкий банк Nuri обслуживал более 500 000 клиентов. Он заявил, что недавний шаг «обеспечит наиболее безопасный путь вперед для всех его клиентов». Однако он также добавил, что банкротство не повлияет на его услуги, средства клиентов, инвестиции, а также на возможность клиентов выводить средства с платформы.

    Вскоре после того, как во вторник Nurin объявил о своей несостоятельности, на платформе начался сильный отток средств. Приложение Nuri стало пользоваться большим спросом. Однако компания разъяснила, что средства пользователей находятся в полной безопасности. В своем сообщении в Твиттере Nuri отметила:

    В настоящее время мы испытываем большой трафик и высокую загруженность, что приводит к снижению производительности нашего мобильного приложения. Наша команда прилагает все усилия для улучшения производительности. Пожалуйста, обратите внимание, что средства в безопасности, и вы можете попробовать использовать приложение в более поздний момент времени.

    Нури также обратил внимание на макроэкономические факторы и геополитическую напряженность, из-за которых происходит обвал на государственных и частных рынках капитала. Кроме того, крах экосистемы Terra стал переломным моментом для криптоиндустрии.

    Партнерство Нури с Solarisbank AG

    Nuri попросил своих клиентов сохранять терпение, так как во вторник они столкнулись с трудностями при снятии денег. Положительной стороной Nuri является партнерство с Solarisbank AG. Таким образом, он не обрабатывает фиатные и криптовалютные средства клиентов самостоятельно.

    По информации Solaris Group, Нури сотрудничал с банком и его крипто-дочерней компанией Solaris Digital Assets. Таким образом, она передала лицензирование банковских операций и хранение криптовалют на аутсорсинг Solarisbank AG.

    Используя криптовалютную и банковскую инфраструктуру Solarisbank, компания Nuri смогла успешно масштабировать свои операции и услуги. Отметим, что даже если Nuri в настоящее время проходит процесс банкротства и реструктуризации, Solarisbank AG не испытывает проблем с ликвидностью. Так, в официальном заявлении Nuri отметил:

    Позвольте нам повторить для вас самую важную информацию: Все средства на ваших счетах Nuri находятся в безопасности благодаря нашему партнерству с Solarisbank AG. Временная процедура банкротства не влияет на ваши депозиты, криптовалютные средства и инвестиции в Nuri Pot, которые были сделаны у нас.

    На ваши вклады в евро на банковском счете, вклады в биткоин и эфир в кошельках и хранилищах, а также инвестиции в Nuri Pot данная ситуация не влияет. Вы имеете гарантированный доступ и сможете свободно вносить и снимать все средства в любое время.

    Ранее известная как Bitwala, берлинская компания Nuri была основана в 2015 году. Компания заявила, что будет продолжать работать над своим видением построения лучшего финансового будущего.

  • Отдельные китайские майнеры, в частности, выступали за хардфорк Ethereum, чтобы продолжить свою майнинговую деятельность.
  • Сооснователь Ethereum Виталик Бутерин обрушился на сторонников хардфорка, назвав их «аутсайдерами».

  • Блокчейн-сеть Ethereum в следующем месяце пройдет обновление The Merge, которое поможет ей перейти к блокчейн-сети Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Однако в сообществе Ethereum разгорелась новая жаркая дискуссия о том, что произойдет после Merge.

    Некоторые сторонники ETH предлагают, чтобы индустрия майнинга Ethereum перешла на Ethereum Classic (ETC). Ethereum Classic стал результатом первого хардфорка блокчейна Ethereum в 2016 году. На фоне этих обсуждений цена ETC также выросла более чем на 150 процентов.

    Еще один обсуждаемый спорный вариант — хардфорк блокчейна Ethereum после The Merge. По мере приближения даты Ethereum Merge, 19 сентября, некоторые сторонники рынка заявили, что продолжат поддерживать сеть PoW Ethereum.

    Обратите внимание, что сеть Ethereum перейдет в сеть Pos, но может появиться и другой блокчейн, работающий по принципу PoW. Вот взгляд на то, кто поддерживает хардфорк, а кто нет.

    Люди, поддерживающие хардфорк Ethereum

    Основатель Tron Джастин Сан — один из тех сторонников, кто сделал раннее заявление о поддержке хардфорка на своей бирже Poloniex. Он сказал, что после слияния его биржа Poloniex будет поддерживать обе версии Ethereum — ETHw и ETHs.

    ETHw будет токеном, поддерживающим блокчейн Proof-of-Work Ethereum, а также майнеров, которые хотят продолжать добывать ETH. ETHs будет токеном на новом блокчейне Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Ethereum.

    Некоторые популярные криптовалютные биржи, такие как Huobi и BitMEX, также выразили свою поддержку предлагаемому хардфорку. Китайские майнеры, в частности, были заинтересованы в поддержке хардфорка Ethereum.

    С другой стороны, есть и другие сильные игроки, которые не хотят признавать форк версии ETH. Среди них лидирует соучредитель Ethereum Виталик Бутерин.

    Виталик Бутерин обрушился на сторонников хардфорка Ethereum

    Сооснователь Ethereum обрушился с критикой на тех, кто поддерживает хардфорк блокчейна Ethereum. Бутерин отметил, что большинство людей из сообщества Ethereum поддерживают переход к Proof-of-Stake. Однако тех, кто поддерживает хардфорк, он называет «аутсайдерами».

    Бутерин также добавил, что сторонники хард форка «владеют биржами и просто пытаются быстро заработать». Сооснователь Ethereum также добавил, что после успешного перехода на PoS он не будет брать на себя ответственность за сеть PoW. «Я уверен, что будут проблемы… если они захотят сделать форк, то они должны решить эти проблемы».

    Помимо Бутерина, популярный поставщик услуг оракула и платформа смарт-контрактов Chainlink объявили, что будут поддерживать только PoS-версию Ethereum. Еще одна криптовалютная компания DeBank DeFi считает, что хардфорк криптовалюты станет катастрофой. Они также отметили, что ни один из их продуктов не будет поддерживать PoW ETH.
