2021-04-08 13:29:28 First EU Institution To Accept eGold Payments: ULBS Registration Fees Payable in eGold

Academic institutions are always looking to reduce their own costs so they are able to focus more resources on the students and keep tuition costs at affordable levels.

Elrond blockchain technology can simplify the payment processes, reducing administrative costs for both the institutions managing them and the students paying for them.

“Beyond the obvious enhancements for payment efficiency, this collaboration is important because it exposes students to technology they can use to have a positive impact on society and future generations.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

ULBS students can henceforth use Maiar to make eGold payments, which will be processed through our partner Netopia.

2021-04-07 19:16:10 Polkamon Collectible NFTs Are Coming To Elrond

The Polkamon team has created beautiful animated digital collectibles that are available as blockchain NFTs. They are discoverable in a similar manner as mainstream physical trading card games, by opening packs - an entertaining activity that is gaining popularity among streamers and their audiences.

The collaboration will focus on making select Polkamon collectibles available as NFTs on the Elrond mainnet, targeting a Q3 2021 release date. Players will have a more enjoyable experience when opening booster packs and discovering collectibles, thanks to our mainnet’s high speed and inexpensive transfers.

To mark the occasion, a rare Elrond Unidragon has been made available amongst the collectibles that can be discovered by Polkamon players!

“Non-Fungible Tokens have incalculable long-term potential in any vertical where authenticity, transferability, and liquidity are important. The combination between Elrond’s NFT implementation and Polkamon collectibles is an excellent mix for creative experimentation.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.

We are excited to announce that US consumers will be able to purchase directly with eGold directly at Amazon, Walmart, and eBay, via Shopping.io!

“Drone deliveries, intelligent homes resupplying automatically, virtual shopping experiences, customizable avatars, and other such technological advancements will continue to drive online sales and convenience for everyone. As a result, eCommerce is rapidly growing its share of the $5 trillion dollars US retail market. We’re excited to enable eGold as a means of payment in the new digital retail economy.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond CEO.
