2021-04-01 16:41:32 NFTize Your Elrond Experience: Unifty NFT Hub To Integrate Elrond

We are excited to announce that NFT hub Unifty will integrate our mainnet, allowing for Elrond NFTs to be created, traded, farmed, or earned on their platform!

“NFTs will change everything. While most of the business sectors are still trying to wrap their hands around their implications, the art world is already taking the lead in pioneering innovative use-cases involving non-fungible tokens.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

UNIFTY is a platform for NFT projects to mint, buy, sell, swap, and create NFT farms with just a few clicks. Its users can sail through the intuitive interface and available tools without any smart contract knowledge or complex interactions.

The collaboration will focus on integrating the Elrond Network into the Unifty platform. Users will be able to add NFTs, created either with Maiar or using the Unifty tools, and engage with other creators, collectors, and traders to share economic upside while exploring novel content monetization avenues.

2021-03-31 16:14:07 Decentralized Prediction Markets For Elrond Network Events And Assets Via Polkamarkets

We are excited to announce that Elrond Network will be integrated with the Polkamarkets platform, allowing their users to monetize predictions on events such as smart contract outcomes or asset prices.

The collaboration will focus on integrating the possibility for events on the Elrond Network to trigger actions on Polkamarkets. Forecasts on events such as the amount of eGold staked at a certain point in time, the outcome of a governance proposal, the price of an asset, or any other such event, will be possible for users of the platform and their outcome would automatically trigger actions such as payments.

“Blockchain technology is the missing piece enabling us to productively use the collective wisdom of the internet. The collaboration with Polkamarkets enables owners of use-cases deployed on the Elrond Network to introduce intelligent triggers into their decision making.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

2021-03-30 21:19:33 Road To Decentralization: Sikka Joins The Elrond Network As Staking Provider

We are excited to announce that Sikka is joining the Elrond Network as a staking provider to offer non-custodial delegation services for eGold holders!

The company is co-founded by Sunny Aggarwal, one of the architects and core devs of the Cosmos ecosystem, which arguably kicked off the Proof of Stake space as it has evolved today. He started off as an Ethereum developer, helped start the “Blockchain at Berkley” research group, and is now an authoritative advocate for PoS and decentralization.

“Sunny has been instrumental for bootstrapping the PoS economies space. He did a lot of pioneering work and has helped us over the years as an informal advisor. I am excited to collaborate with him and take the Elrond PoS economy to the next level.” said Lucian Mincu, Elrond CIO.
