"Fact: Switching the entire Bitcoin transaction volume onto the Elrond Network, for just one day, would save enough energy to fully charge every Tesla ever made. Twice."

Beniamin was quoted in Bitcoin.com’s coverage of the Elon Musk & Tesla stance on Bitcoin’s power consumption. The article highlights the Elrond Network PoS as a more environmentally viable alternative to Proof of Work systems.

2021-05-12 13:34:35 Accelerating Decentralization: Staking Phase 3.5 proposal

The Elrond ecosystem has fantastic momentum in all areas. Staking has seen particularly explosive growth. We propose an interim adaptation of some of the staking mechanisms, in order to better align incentives towards further decentralization.

For Staking Phase 3.5, we propose the following changes:

Adjust APR for Base & Top-Up stake
Existing Validators can become Staking Providers
Existing Validator nodes can be merged into Staking Pools

The changes are expected to go live by mid of June.

2021-05-11 18:41:45 Bware Labs To Offer Mainnet Data Via APIs And Joins As Staking Provider

Bware Labs provides an interface between Blockchain APIs consumers and node providers with integrated payment options and verified reliability, all embedded within their platform and protocol service.

The collaboration will focus on making Elrond Network data available to applications requesting it via the Bware Labs APIs. This will allow data consumers to avoid infrastructure deployment and maintenance costs, and only pay what they need for their data access needs. Moreover, people just wanting to explore the Bware Labs platform will have a free tier subscription available.

The obvious synergies with operating Elrond Network infrastructure have also resulted in Bware Labs stepping up to become a Staking Provider for our ecosystem and offer non-custodial eGold delegation services to our community.

“The high throughput and low latency of our protocol are best put to use when the data that is processed can be served up immediately after it is produced. We are happy to see Bware Labs taking on this challenge, and we also welcome them in our Validators community.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.
