Our implementation of the Elrond Standard Digital Token (ESDT) and Non-Fungible Tokens solves problems that are inherent to current implementations on other blockchains.

Furthermore, it brings a number of innovations that will further expand the value and utility of tokens on the Elrond Network.

High Speeds & Low Costs Thanks To Protocol Integration
True Ownership via Smart Accounts
Native Use Of Tokens in Smart Contracts
High-Speed & Low Cost For NFTs & SFTs:

• $0.01 to create NFT -> $100 - $600 on Ethereum
• $0.01 USD to transfer NFT -> $100 on Ethereum

The ESDT features are already available on the Elrond Public Devnet and they will be deployed with the next major mainnet upgrade. Capture your value share of the new internet economy. Get started with Elrond tokens right now:

2021-04-08 18:04:15 Customizable Off-Chain Data Products For Elrond Smart Contracts Via ORAO Oracles

Tamper-proof data streams are essential for maintaining the trustless nature of blockchain-based applications. This is why blockchain oracles have a well-earned place at the heart of decentralized finance.

Delivering unaltered and trustworthy information is a critical attribute of oracles, but there are many differentiating factors such as speed, scalability, cost, and the degree to which they can be configured.

“Those blockchain applications that will explode in virality will likely transcend the pure DeFi implementations which represent the bulk of the current dApps ecosystem. The ability to integrate information beyond the usual price data in a reliable and adaptable manner will make a huge difference for Elrond developers.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.
