2021-04-16 00:14:00 Updated Minter fees for sending (~$0.01), exchanging (~$0.03), and delegating (~$0.1) are accepted based on the results of the validators’ vote for the Commission Proposal 1.1 Open / Comment

2021-04-15 11:09:48 Voting for Minter Network Commission Price (Commission Proposal 1.1)

Voting for commissions in the Minter blockchain was launched today.

Voting is divided into several stages, in each of which a certain part of the commissions is changed, grouped according to common characteristics or in accordance with the preliminary consent of the majority of validators.

In the first part (Commission Proposal 1.1), it is proposed to update the commissions for sending, exchanging and delegating transactions:

• Send (send, multisend) ~$0.01
• Exchange (buy/sell coins with reserve and through pools) ~$0.03
• Delegate (delegate, unbond) ~$0.1

At the moment, all transaction fees in Minter will be expressed in BIP, but their prices will be quoted according to the price of $0.02 per BIP.

As soon as Minter Hub is launched, and then USDC stablecoin is added to Minter, the validators will again vote on linking commissions to $.

The updated commissions from the first stage (sending, exchanging and delegating) will take effect on April 15 at ~20:45 UTC on the block 3,341,000 with a set of 66.66%+ of the total vote power of the validators.

We encourage all Minter validators to submit their votes before the selected commission update block.

You can follow the voting process on this page.

2021-03-16 18:18:19 #10 Tens of millions of transactions daily

In connection with the integration of Minter with the Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain blockchains, a reasonable question arises: Will Minter withstand millions of transactions daily now, and what will happen when the transaction count goes to tens of millions? And the answer here is Yes

The concept of Internet of Money implies that digital currencies and assets from different blockchains can be simultaneously located in one blockchain, while everything should be simple, fast, with low fees and reliable.

The Minter blockchain is initially designed for the fact that in one block (~5 seconds) there can be up to 10,000 transactions, and this is up to 172 million different operations per day, primarily such as sending from wallet to wallet or exchanging one asset for another.

Of course, this speed is not the final limit, and closer to the moment when there is a need to expand the bandwidth, Minter will be able to become even faster in its next updates thanks to the work of the team that created and continues to develop the blockchain.

The current bandwidth is more than enough to transfer all current digital currencies and assets to Minter, and there will still be a reserve for the future, because the field of digital finance is still at the beginning of its development.

Minter, as part of a stress test in the main network, proved that it can make tens of millions of transfers per day in the public blockchain.

Why #BIPmore1USD?
- Minter has enough bandwidth with a rate of ~2,000 transactions per second to provide instant execution of transactions of the most popular blockchains combined.
- The bandwidth in Minter is not theoretical, but proved in the stress test of the main network in December 2020.
- There is a great reserve for the future in terms of the speed of the blockchain, and Minter is ready for mass use, so that every user instantly performs operations at any time of the day or night. Open / Comment

2021-03-15 17:17:18 #9 Integration with Binance Smart Chain

Binance Smart Chain (BSC) appeared six months ago, and it already makes more than 2 million transactions daily, mainly due to DeFi services and the transfer of tokens from other blockchains. The native BNB utility token ranks 3nd in the CoinMarketCap rating by capitalization (~$45 billion).

The BSC blockchain is fully compatible with Ethereum, but has improved technical characteristics.

The commission for sending BNB and BEP20 tokens (similar to ERC20 on Ethereum) is on average $0.05-$0.12 and can be higher
Exchanges in PancakeSwap (a popular DeFi service) cost as much as $0.3-$0.5 and can reach $10

The speed of forming new blocks in BSC is about 5 seconds, but it is recommended to wait about 1 minute for the final confirmation of the transaction.

All commissions in Binance Smart Chain are paid only in BNB. Here everything is like in Ethereum, you need to have a native utility token on your wallet to pay all commissions, in the case of BSC — this is BNB. If there is no BNB on the wallet, then no actions can be performed.

Yes, BSC reduces user costs (fees, time) compared to Ethereum, but Minter takes user interaction with Binance Smart Chain tokens to a whole new level.

As with Ethereum, the Minter wallet allows you to deposit and withdraw assets from and to the Binance Smart Chain, without any restrictions, in a single transaction and completely decentralized.

Binance Smart Chain users can increase the speed of their transactions, reduce their cost, and easily interact with all their digital assets from one convenient wallet in Minter.

Why #BIPmore1USD?
- Any transactions in Minter are made instantly, in less than 5 seconds, and immediately have a final confirmation. You do not need to wait for additional confirmations.
- Low fixed $ cost of transfers of $0.01 (instead of floating $0.05+) and exchanges of $0.03 + 0.2%, which is several times more profitable than in PancakeSwap (with commissions $0.3-$10 + 0.2%).
- Predictable transaction price with guaranteed network acceptance. To successfully send a transaction, you do not need to choose Gas Price and Gas Limit, or hope that the wallet developers have made an adequate adjustment to the commission level. This makes it very easy to interact with digital currencies and assets, especially for beginners.
- Payment of transaction fees for any currency or asset in Minter. You do not need to keep a special token on your wallet and you can pay with what you transfer or exchange.
- You can transfer tokens from/to the Binance Smart Chain in one transaction. Open / Comment

2021-03-12 17:17:18 #8 Scaling the Ethereum blockchain

The Ethereum network now has more than 1 million transactions per day, and it is the most popular blockchain in DeFi and token issuance for various projects. It ranks 2nd in the CoinMarketCap rating by capitalization (~$200 billion).

But technologically, Ethereum was not ready for this, so the network has a high cost and low transaction speed.

The average commission for sending ETH in 2021 is from $3.3 to $43
At the same time, sending any ERC20 token (USDT, BNB, UNI, etc.) costs from $10 to $132
Exchanges in Uniswap (a popular DeFi service) cost as much as $31 to $409
Yes, such wild fees exist: sending ERC20 tokens is 3 times more expensive, and exchanging them is 9.5 times more expensive than sending ETH.

The speed is from 1 hour at the lowest commission (maybe better, but still minutes) and up to ~1 minute at a surcharge of +40% for “fast” sending.

And all commissions in Ethereum are paid strictly in ETH. If there is not enough ETH on the wallet, then you will not be able to send or exchange other tokens.

Minter solves all these problems and makes it possible to transfer any tokens from/to Ethereum to speed up operations, reduce their cost, and make it easier to manage digital currencies and assets.

From the Minter wallet, you can enter and withdraw assets from and to Ethereum, without any restrictions, in a single transaction, completely decentralized.

Users of Ethereum can easily transfer their operations to a fast and effective blockchain, saving their tokens, ceasing to suffer from low speed, high fees and complex interaction with the wallet.

Why #BIPmore1USD?
- Any transactions in Minter, whether sending or exchanging, are made in less than 5 seconds. Almost instantly.
- Low fixed $ cost of transfers of $0.01 and exchanges of $0.03 + 0.2%, which is much more profitable than in Uniswap (with commissions of $31 + 0.3%).
- Transactions in Minter are immediately final in 1 block, and you do not need to wait for additional confirmations.
- Transfers and exchanges are easier to make, as you do not need to set up Gas Price and Gas Limit. Everything happens simply and predictably, and there will not be a situation that the transaction was not accepted by the network, as is often the case in Ethereum.
- The transaction fee in Minter is paid by any currency or asset, for example, a USDC token transferred from Ethereum (or any other) can be used to pay the commission for any transaction.
- Transferring tokens from/to Ethereum is very simple and is performed in a single transaction. Open / Comment

2021-03-11 21:22:10 #7 Everyone can fully participate in the Decentralized Economy (DeFi)

In the Minter blockchain, the most basic ways of participating in the decentralized economy are available directly from the user’s wallet: loans and their provision, deposits, currency and asset exchanges and the provision of liquidity for this, staking and farming.

In one wallet, where there are no restrictions on transactions, the maximum number of financial capabilities of blockchains is collected: Minter, Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain.

Interaction with all the services of “decentralized” earnings in Minter takes place through a simple interface that is understandable to “grandmothers”, and at the same time, the technological advantages of the blockchain are used in all their glory, as a result, users make instant transactions, conveniently, profitably and guaranteed (finally).

To participate in the DeFi services based on the Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain, the BIPx token is used, the price of which is always 1:1 to BIP. This does not require additional actions and everything happens “on the fly”, so that even “grandmothers” can earn in DeFi.

Why #BIPmore1USD?
- All the opportunities to earn money in DeFi at once 3 blockchain platforms (Minter, Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain) through one simple Minter wallet.
- The best DeFi services in the Minter wallet catalog, selected by experts.
- To participate in the DeFi services from Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain, you do not need a separate wallet and BIP can be converted to BIPx on the fly.
- Interaction with Minter-based DeFi services with instant and final transactions, low fees and easy payment in any digital currency and asset. Open / Comment
