Beginning from the Whitelisting model, the collaboration with the Flippies-nft and furthermore. Many have also enquired on the staking model of the Solanium system, demanding more on the how-to-go-about stuffs. A lot find it difficult and hence, are disinterested in the staking system. Well, here's an article to keep you smiling on the Solanium staking system.\n________\nFor newbies who are wondering what staking is, staking cryptocurrencies is a process that involves committing your crypto assets to support a blockchain network and confirm transactions.\n\nIt's available with cryptocurrencies that use the proof-of-stake model to process payments. This is a more energy-efficient alternative to the proof-of-work model, which requires mining devices that use computing power to solve mathematical equations.\n\nStaking can be a great way to use your crypto to generate passive income, especially because some cryptocurrencies offer high interest rates for staking. Before you get started, it's important to fully understand how crypto staking works.\n________\n#### How staking in crypto works\nWith cryptocurrencies that use the proof-of-stake model, staking is how new transactions are added to the blockchain. Participants pledge their coins to the cryptocurrency protocol. From those participants, the protocol chooses validators to confirm blocks of transactions. The more coins you pledge, the more likely you are selected. \n\nEvery time a block is added to the blockchain, new cryptocurrency coins are minted and distributed as staking rewards to that block's validator. The rewards are usually the same cryptocurrency that participants are staking, although some blockchains use a different type of cryptocurrency for rewards.\n________\nNow taking you back to the hottest project in the crypto space of Solanium ($SLIM). \n\nHere we are dealing with staking $SLIM to be among the crypto elites.\n\n#### How does the APY work?\n\nOur staking APY is designed in a way that rewards are only claimable during withdrawal after lock! On top of gaining juicy APY by having your $SLIM tokens staked, you can get tons of benefits for staking $SLIM tokens to get xSLIM tokens. Also we added the xSLIM decrease rate for those who do not have their auto restake on.\n\nSLIM tokens are lockable for a selectable locktime, with a maximum locktime of 1 year. By locking SLIM tokens in the staking contract, the user will receive a xSLIM balance. xSLIM tokens are not transferrable.\n\nThe height of the xSLIM balance is based on the amount of SLIM tokens locked, and the time left before the tokens unlock. The xSLIM balance is linearly decreasing since the time of lock. The SLIM tokens locked can not be withdrawn before the timelock has expired. However, it is possible to extend the timelock or increase the amount of staked SLIM tokens.\n\nxSLIM token qualifies the user for fee distribution, voting rights and exclusive or early pool access.\n________\n#### Benefits of staking $SLIM\n\n1.  Luscious APY - the longer you lock the higher the APY\n2. Token security\n3. Increased chances for whitelist slot.\n4. Solanium IDO's project token airdrop.\n________\n\n#### Our Channels:\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/solanium_io\nTelegram Lobby: https://t.me/solanium_io_chat\nTelegram Announcement Channel: https://t.me/solanium_io",

Such data is necessary for operation of various decentralized applications. Oracles are the means by which data is fed to these smart contracts. Normally, this is done traditionally via centralized oracles. But using centralized oracles defeats the purpose of decentralization plus there is the risk of data being fed being manipulated by centralized oracles hence the need for decentralized oracles. Decentralized oracles are trustworthy due to its decentralized nature, therefore the accuracy of the data being fed by decentralized oracles can be trusted as accurate.\n__________\nRazor network is a truly decentralized oracle network for the decentralized blockchain ecosystem. Its usecases spans :\n______________\n    Decentralized Finance\n    Decentralized Insurance \n    Decentralized Synthetic Assets\n    Decentralized Stablecoins \n    Decentralized Identity\n    Decentralized Atomic Swaps \n____________\nRazor Network provides data to the smart contracts using a network of stakers. These stakers are validators who lock in their tokens as a “Stake” and provide data to the network. These validators get rewarded for participating in the network by staking and providing data. \n___________\nRazor Network is aimed at providing a decentralized way to verify and provide data to a blockchain. Since entire economies are being built on top of blockchain which rely heavily on the external data, it is extremely important that the data is provided and aggregated in a decentralized way to avoid many kinds of attacks. These attacks include : \n___________\n    Takeover attack by controlling the majority of the validators\n    Bribe attack\n    Bribe signaling attack\n    Providing invalid or compromised data source\n    Making invalid queries to the oracle\n    Censoring reports of honest validators.\n_____________\nRazor is not only fast but also extremely robust and economically secure and covers a large number of use cases by allowing results to be fetched both manually or automatically. \n_______________\nRazor Network has a number of features which make it unique. They are :\n#### Truly decentralized\nEnd-to-end decentralized oracle network with no centralized bottlenecks\n______________\n#### Security\nDispute escalation and resolution mechanism makes it extremely resistant to collusion, bribing and censorship attacks\n___________________\n#### Speed\nAutomated fetching of the data without compromising security and decentralization\n_______________\n#### Scalability\nDeployed on a scalable network and blockchain agnostic.\n____________\n#### Proof of Stake\nSecured by highly efficient Proof of Stake network with strict penalties for misbehaviour\n________________\n\nMore Information :\nWebsite : https://razor.network/\nTwitter : https://twitter.com/razor_network\nTelegram : https://t.me/razornetwork\nMedium : https://medium.com/razor-network\nGithub : https://github.com/razor-network/",

Polygon? lol, suprised right?\nI bet you are! So Matic Network recently rebranded to Polygon. Hence the change of name of my series as well.\n_______\n### POLYGON\n________\n\n![logo-polygon.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdibRciPkaucFNv7PSrS6vCKtmsAkiuBYbYfBtgFW5YCj/logo-polygon.png)\n__________\nPolygon is a blockchain solution that provides scalable, secure and instant Ethereum transactions using Plasma side chains and a Proof-of-Stake network. Polygon has made an effort to resolve the issues of scalability and usability without making a compromise on decentralization.\nIt is an off/side chain scaling solution for existing platforms to provide scalability and superior user experience to DApps/user functionalities.\n__________\nPolygon was created to solve the problem of scalability associated with most blockchains and also accelerate transaction speeds.\nWhen developers seek to deploy their solutions using blockchain technology, speed and scalability are two utmost features they look out for. Polygon solves these problems very well while adding additional features such as a smooth user experience and security.\nMore than 70 dApps have been built on Polygon, ranging from DeFi protocols to games and prediction markets. With more validator nodes being onboarded on Polygon progressively, it is on the path to full decentralization and becoming the most sought after Layer 2 network in the blockchain ecosystem.\nToday we’ll be talking about DIA. An open-source oracle platform that enables market actors to source, supply and share trustable data.\n__________\n### DIA\n_________\n\n![About-DIA-2.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbgv4h466LrK32XAKadSxSQ9xKtvvXweWiwF7NvPkaS93/About-DIA-2.jpg)\n______________\nDIA stands for Decentralised Information Asset. It provides verified and transparent oracles for the DeFi Economy. Oracles are one of the essential building blocks for a DeFi ecosystem. With oracles, accurate and reliable financial market data can be easily retrieved. \nDIA leverages crypto-economic incentives and the wisdom of the community to source, validate and deliver trusted financial data. Market actors can supply, share and use financial and digital asset data.\n_____________________\nIt does this in three unique processes :\n1. Sourcing\nBounties for data sourcing and data validation get funded with DIA tokens and are completed for reward. All data is pulled from primary sources to DIA servers.\n2. Supply\nThe DIA database gets hashed on-chain, and all scraper code and documentation is hosted on Github. All data is accesible via API endpoints or Oracles.\n3. Access\nLending platforms, index providers, prediction markets and other users can freely acces DIA’s open-source, validated data streams.\n______________\nDIA has a number of distinct features which are transarency, validation and scalability.\n_____________\n#### Transparency\nDIA’s data feeds are open-source and accessible.\nSources, methodologies, scraper code are hosted on Github and the database is hashed on-chain, for full auditability of historical data.\n__________\n#### Validation\nDIA data is verified by a whole community of stakeholders.\nMarket actors can submit requests for data and incentivise the validation of feeds. Continuously incentivised validation via token staking ensures effective QA\n_____________\n#### Scalability\nDecentralised data sourcing enables easy scalability.\nDeFi enables the design of financial products on highly diverse underlying assets and events. DIA provides a scalable infrastructure to meet the data needs.\n ______________\n\n![1 P_EuXnPIrYEXv-AlU9ONHw.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUn6wAoPEasHBmDKLmvKowfHuTDoSjkirVdvkXWfGnRXx/1%20P_EuXnPIrYEXv-AlU9ONHw.png)\n__________\nDIA recently partnered with Polygon. This collaboration would see DIA providing data oracles for Matic ecosystem. DIA will be officially providing transparent, open-source data feeds to projects building on Polygon. With the move, DIA will fuel the development of applications on the efficiency geared Matic ecosystem. The collaboration will also see DIA Labs supporting Polygon’s build and earn program with micro-grants to help teams leverage transparent data feeds.\n_______________\nOn the collaboration, Arjun Kalsy, Founder of Matic Network commented : “Integrating DIA as an official data provider for the Matic ecosystem is a great move forward. We are really happy to see that the teams developing on our network will have easy and direct access to this really transparent and open-source data backbone, not to mention that DIA Labs will be backing teams in our Build-n-Earn program that leverage DIA feeds.”\n____________\nPaul Claudius, DIA’s Co-Founder who leads business and ecosystem development at DIA also remarked : “We are really excited to participate in Matic’s Build-n-Earn program and support the development of dApps with DIA data feeds“Supporting builders to develop dApps and thereby develop a project-native ecosystem is crucial during these early days of DeFi. Platforms like Gitcoin Grants as well as the Buid-n-Earn program are vital to this endeavour.”\n__________________\nMORE INFORMATION :\nLearn more about Matic Network at : https://matic.network/\nBuild with Matic Network : https://matic.network/build-n-earn\nDApps on Matic Network : https://matic.network/dapps\nMaticNetwork wallet : https://wallet.matic.network/\nConnect with me on telegram @ubongj",

Their first cashflow types allow constant streams of value and one-to-many distributions. All flows are settled at the same time, based on block timestamps. This makes it possible to net inflows and outflows, increasing capital efficiency. \n________\n#### FEATURES\n_______\n#### Gasless Transfers\nOnce a stream is opened, it keeps flowing every second without needing additional transactions.\n\n#### No capital lockups\nSuperfluid works with just-in-time liquidity. You only need enough balance to keep your streams open.\n\n#### On-chain interaction\nSuperfluid lives on Layer 1 Ethereum, allowing full composability and no delays when withdrawing.\n_____\nSuperfluid allows developers to build applications on top of the Protocol, and integrate with other DeFi primitives. They have deployed on Ethereum testnets (Goerli, Rinkeby and Ropsten), and firmly believe that developers should be able to integrate Superfluid with any other web3 protocol.\n_____\n\n![1 6R0qxDx3g_nINdJZ_O5Jrw.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTPKtxLK4gHDTJc8iZkTL1sWVQaYd6SAMwXcVPBcV1T2V/1%206R0qxDx3g_nINdJZ_O5Jrw.png)\n\nSuperfluid will soon be deployed on the Matic network. Ethereum developers would be able to quickly deploy and experiment with Superfluid enabled Programmable Cashflow applications on Matic network due to its super cheap transaction fees and fast confirmations. \nThe CEOs of both Superfluid and Matic network network made positive comments concerning the partnership. \n______\nFrancesco Renzi, CEO of Superfluid, mentioned how “The kind of permissionless and low-barrier experimentation enabled by cheap transactions is what made Ethereum the center of all innovation in DeFi and web3, and we are very excited to see this continue, both on Ethereum, and on EVM side-chains like Matic!”.\n______\nSandeep Nailwal, CEO of Matic, also commented “Superfluid streams were the missing primitive to enable recurring transactions on the blockchain. We are very excited they have chosen to deploy on Matic, and look forward to seeing more companies adopt this technology for subscriptions and salaries”.\n__________\nThis is a plus to both projects as collaborations like this are for the advancement and evolution of blockchain technology. \n_____________\nMatic is rapidly becoming the go-to Layer 2 solution for developers, thanks to secure, scalable and instant transactions, secured by Ethereum. Matic Network layer 2 solution with all it’s awesome features continues to place it as a sought after tool for developing business solutions on the blockchain.\n_______________\nWant to build with Matic too?\nFor Developers building Dapps and looking for a scaling solution, do get in touch with Matic Network. They can help you not only achieve scale but also provide the best UI/UX to your users.\n__________\nMORE INFORMATION :\n_____________\nLearn more about Matic Network at : https://matic.network/\nBuild with Matic Network : https://matic.network/build-n-earn\nDApps on Matic Network : https://matic.network/dapps\nMaticNetwork wallet : https://wallet.matic.network/\nConnect with me on telegram @ubongj",

These days people can invest their underlying asset into many DeFi aggregator system such as YFI, DFI and Harvest to get a considerable passive income.\nA new mining system is introduced in Unisave. Each Unisave-pair can been seen as an aggregator and invested into a strategy which have no funds management fees such as Fortube, DFI, etcs. (or YFI if YIP-51 gets passed.)\n_____\n#### No protocol fee 🎫\nUnisave designed as a public good, since the community can be driven by mining revenues, there is no need to add a protocol fees any more. Allowing us to be the 1st DEX with no protocol fees.\n_______\n#### Self-adjusting Market Maker Algorithm 📈\nTo improve the trading experience and reduce transaction slippage, we introduce a new technique called dummy liquidity — — the liquidity which doesn’t backup by real assets, but will be used in every swap function.\n______\n\n![EqaRbR9U8AAGdpB.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXKHAsHBfw1vN38yaPyfcE2qXvhCc4auYPF19UovoYS5a/EqaRbR9U8AAGdpB.jpg)\n\nUnisave recently announced a strategic partnership with Matic Network.

Here are the details below.\n________________\nPramod | pSquare.capital\nToday we have with us Chandresh from UniLend who is co-founder and CEO of UniLend\n\nChandresh Aharwar\nHi Everyone\n\nPramod | pSquare.capital\nCan you please give us a brief overview of UniLend?\n\nChandresh Aharwar\nThanks Pramod bhai for inviting me\n\nChandresh Aharwar\nBefore UniLend, let me give a small background about me.\nI have been actively contributing to Blockchain space from late 2016 & have been leading marketing & strategy of matic Network before starting my Journey with https://unilend.finance/\nA good thread explaining my contributions while at Matic:\nhttps://twitter.com/chandresh1091/status/1259145137881354240?s=19\nI started UniLend in August along with my co-founders who were working on a open source metatransaction protocol https://metatransact.com/\n\nChandresh Aharwar\nUniLend was started with the simple Idea of welcoming every token to DEFI 😎 \n\nChandresh Aharwar\nUniLend's mission is to unlock the true potential of decentralized finance.\nEssentially, UniLend Finance will offer every DeFi capability imaginable for any ERC20 asset, including the $30B+ of assets which are currently excluded from DeFi.\n\nChandresh Aharwar\nUniLend users will be able to permission-lessly list any ERC20 asset for lending/borrowing, spot trading, as well as having the ability to provide liquidity to the protocol in order to take advantage of liquidity mining and yield farming opportunities.\n\nPramod | pSquare.capital \nYou claim this is just the beginning, what do you mean by that?\n\nChandresh Aharwar \nWe already have more than $14Billion locked in DeFi currently & that's too without tapping into all ERC20 assets in money markets\n\nChandresh Aharwar \nOur aim is to be the most comprehensive DeFi protocol on the market\nWith this in mind, we are continually forging strategic collaborations with key players within the industry to add unique abilities to our protocol, such as being able to lend/borrow real-world assets like synthetic gold and silver with the help of OpenDeFi.\nReal-world assets will open the door to an addressable market cap of over 15 trillion.\nCyberFi building an automation layer on top of UniLend.\nCryptolocally providing interface of UniLend to their users\n\nChandresh Aharwar \nUniLend is being built from the ground up to truly take the DeFi space to the next level and bring the next wave of users into DeFi via our comprehensive protocol.\n\nMany major industry players already recognize our unique value and are in the process of implementing UniLend into their own platforms.\nAgain this is just the beginning, many more collaborations and unique abilities are yet to be announced.\n\nPramod | pSquare.capital\nThis all sounds so exciting, but how can we know we are safe while using such a new protocol?\n\nChandresh Aharwar\nGreat question.\nI would say we are much more secure than other money market protocols like Aave & Compound etc.\nFor instance, current protocols are dependent on other DEXs like Uniswap etc. for liquidations (which is a major concern for adding illiquidity & more volatile assets).\n\nChandresh Aharwar \nNobody has any sort of control on these DEXs, whereas in the case of UniLend, we are deriving the lending/borrowing capacity of assets based on the liquidity available on our trading platform.\nHence, we are not dependent on any other protocol for liquidation & everything is handled within the UniLend ecosystem.\nThe problem we are solving is quite large and it requires a complete ecosystem to be built for catering to such a problem.\nMaximum security is a priority to UniLend Finance, we are picking up where key DeFi protocols like Uniswap left off and continuing the development of the decentralized finance revolution.\n\nPramod | pSquare.capital\nSo you are picking up from where Uniswap left off? I heard your team has great comparison articles in regards to this question, could you expand on this topic and let us know where we can find these articles?\n\nChandresh Aharwar\nYes, to clarify, we have the utmost respect for Uniswap and the other leading protocols for being trailblazers in the DeFi space. 🔥🔥\nThat said, we believe that our comprehensive DeFi functionality and permissionless listing model will facilitate the evolution of DeFi and bring the next wave of users into the DeFi space.\n\nChandresh Aharwar\nOur community has requested further clarification on UniLend's strengths as a DeFi protocol, which is why we launched our DeFi Dissected article series.\nThe goal with the series is to show the cryptosphere why we will be a major contender, with more to offer than our competitors.\nUniLend is a unique protocol, built from the ground up, that is capable of truly revolutionizing DeFi.\n\nChandresh Aharwar\n[Forwarded from UniLend Finance Official Announcement]\n#DeFi #Comparison\nIntroducing our DeFi Dissected article series: Highlighting the value UniLend is bringing to the DeFi revolution 🔥\n🙋‍♂️ Our community has requested further clarification on UniLend's strengths as a DeFi protocol, so that's what we're delivering! Get ready for a series outlining the differences between our protocol and other major DeFi players.\n✅ The goal is to show the cryptosphere why we will be a major contender, with more to offer than our competitors. UniLend is a unique protocol, built from the ground up, that is capable of truly revolutionizing DeFi thanks to our comprehensive DeFi functionality and permissionless listing model.\n🚀 To start, we've released a comparison with Compound. We will release further comparisons moving forward. Stay tuned to our social media platforms as we gear up to launch the rest!\n🌐 Read our first comparison here, UniLend vs. Compound: https://t.co/03AnTXyQww?amp=1\n🗣 Retweet: https://twitter.com/UniLend_Finance/status/1324378305013850112\n\nChandresh Aharwar\n[Forwarded from UniLend Finance Official Announcement]\n#DeFiDissected #UniLendFinance\n🦄 Next up in our DeFi Dissected series is the original unicorn of DeFi, Uniswap!\n🔬 This series aims to quickly get our readers up to speed on some of the more prominent DeFi platforms everyone has their eye on. We previously placed Compound, Balancer and Maker under a microscope.\n🔦 Today we'll be shining a light on the undisputed leading DEX, Uniswap. As a trailblazer in DeFi and the backbone of the DeFi movement, UniLend was inspired by Uniswap in many ways.\n🏪 We wish to accelerate Uniswap's DeFi revolution by implementing new comprehensive DeFi functionality such as permissionless lending & borrowing, in addition to decentralized trading, in a single platform.\nHere's to advancing the decentralized revolution together 🥂\n👀 Check out our comparison of UniLend and Uniswap here: https://rb.gy/2ehuzj\n🌐 Catch up on previous DeFi Dissected instalments: https://unilend.medium.com/\n🗣 Retweet: https://twitter.com/UniLend_Finance/status/1328712915885592577\n\nChandresh Aharwar\n[Forwarded from UniLend Finance Official Announcement]\n#DeFiDissected #Aave #Comparison\n🦾UniLend & Aave step up to the podium: check out our comparison!\n🚀 Suit up and discover UniLend's unique value propositions and advantages as compared to other leading DeFi protocols on the market, by staying up to date with our DeFi Dissected series.\n💥 In our newest release, a comparison between UniLend and Aave, we discuss the nitty gritty facts surrounding both of these powerful protocols and hope to enlighten our readers while doing so.\n🏃‍♀️ Education is key and knowledge is power! Please take the time to DYOR and learn why UniLend is to be the next heavyweight contender in the DeFi scene.\n🥇Cheers to the future of unlocking the true potential of DeFi!\n👀 Check out our comparison of UniLend and Aave here: https://rb.gy/t05tdx\n🗣 Spread the word : https://twitter.com/UniLend_Finance/status/1331266202677645312?s=20\n👥 Join us on social media:\nTelegram community (https://t.me/UniLendFinance) / Announcements channel (https://t.me/UniLendAnnouncement) / Twitter (https://twitter.com/UniLend_Finance)\nDo follow this channels for upcoming updates\n\nPramod | pSquare.capital\nIt sounds like Unilend will have a great competitive edge. In DeFi however there has to be incentives to encourage user growth, at least initially. How are you approaching this?\n\nChandresh Aharwar\nAnother great question, this is something we've been ideating heavily.\nIn addition to our key advantages in terms of permissionless listings etc., there will be a number of incentives for those who utilize the UniLend protocol, from liquidity providers to general platform users.\n\nChandresh Aharwar\nFirstly, we're implementing community governance to give the community a voice in the functioning and features of the protocol.\nUFT holders will be able to issue and vote on proposals which require majority consensus to be implemented.\n\nChandresh Aharwar \nEcosystem participants who use UniLend for lending, borrowing or trading will be rewarded with governance power in the form of UFT tokens to encourage not only use of the platform's services, but also to facilitate distributed governance.\n\nChandresh Aharwar\nLiquidity providers are another key element of any DeFi protocol to ensure sustainability and a great user experience.\nThey will therefore be rewarded with UFT tokens via liquidity mining, in addition to a percentage of trading and borrowing fees. We've allocated 15% of the total UFT token supply for liquidity mining & yield farming rewards.\n\nPramod | pSquare.capital \nWe will now start with the questions which were asked on twitter. We had tremendous response on twitter and it was hard to pick only just top 5 questions.\nI will now ask each question and Chandresh will answer it\nafter those 5 questions, we will take 1 round of questions from telegram community.\n\nPramod | pSquare.capital\nQuestion 1 from Twitter profile : Luckyluck041\nWhat is your project's main target of UniLend in this year 2020? and what your VISION and MISSION is in UniLend Marketing?\n\nChandresh Aharwar \n[In reply to Pramod | pSquare.capital]\nWe will have alpha release this year. Our community has been getting impatient for the detailed roadmap, so that's coming this week most probably.\nWe want to welcome every token to DeFi, that's the main mission we are aiming for & recently we launched a poll also in our community.\nWould request every one to vote on that too.\nWe want to become a widely used protocol for token launches, just like uniswap is being used currently. That's where the most value additions will come from our side\nImagine every new token getting launched on UniLend also along with Uniswap.\nWill be huge imo.\nAnd we are giving every reason to new projects for launching on UniLend along with Uniswap.\nDon't forget the close marketing support & huge exposure we will provide to all new projects\n\nPramod | pSquare.capital\nQuestion 2 from Twitter profile : JoneroMeira\nWhat will bring great innovation, value and differential in the DeFi space after the arrival of ETH 2.0 that makes UFT run in front of its DeFi rivals, that UFT is also a giant, and thus attract more investors to the Project.\nChandresh Aharwar\nCheaper fees & faster transactions with ETH 2.0 will obviously mean more trading volume, more interactive users & most importantly more automation in the complete DeFi space.\nWe have already seen the advantages & value additions of DeFi, this will definately go to bigger level as higher gas fees & slower transactions are barrier for smaller investors currently.\nUniLend will also be at huge gain with ETH 2.0 launch as we are totally focused on our alpha launch in December on Ethereum mainnet currently & that's going to be the main chain for our protocol in near future.\nSo, I am also very excited for upcoming updates on ETH 2.0\n\nPramod | pSquare.capital\nQuestion 3 from Twitter profile : celinadiory\nUniLend is a permissionless platform focused on Ethereum tokens, but the need for cross-chain solutions is increasingly perceived. Does UniLend intend to be a cross-chain platform, allowing its features to be available to non-ethereum tokens?\n\nChandresh Aharwar\n[In reply to Pramod | pSquare.capital]\nYes, we take it very seriously when we say, Welcoming Every Token to DeFi\nOur Devs have already been exploring other chains like Binance Smart Chain, some layer 2 on ethereum etc..\nWe are also watching closing other solutions which are working towards bridging other chains.\nWe will definately do this but our priority is launching our Alpha version on etherum currently in December\n\nPramod | pSquare.capital\nQuestion 4 from Twitter profile : Ressknight12\nWhat are the requirements for the UniLend credit system? In addition, what are the facilities of this loan program? and how can I participate in community voting in the UniLend ecosystem?\n\nChandresh Aharwar\n[In reply to Pramod | pSquare.capital]\nWell, there are no requirements.\nYou don't need to create any account or maintain any credentials, you can just use Metamask other solutions to access our protocol.\nJust like other money market protocols, users will be able to use UniLend also with only difference that it will be easier to use & more secure.\nAll $UFT holders will be able to take part in the governance of our protocol, just like the goverance of Uniswap currently\n\nPramod | pSquare.capital \nLast Question from twitter profile : Melik97815984\nThe crypto market is full of scams and Uniswap records several lists of fake tokens. How does UniLend intend to prevent the listing of fake tokens if the platform does not have permission? What kind of security can UniLend offer its users?\n\nChandresh Aharwar, [26.11.20 13:19]\n[In reply to Pramod | pSquare.capital]\nIt's always user discretion in decentralized open source protocols.\nAs it's open source anyone will be able to list their tokens, but again they will be risking their eth if they are providing liquidity on trading platform.\nAlso, there won't be any gains for users to list any fake tokens, but we have seen many scammers doing it.\nWe will have proper warning & rating systems for high performing tokens on our protocol & make sure our users are safe.\n\nPramod | pSquare.capital\nWe are done with twitter questions. Lets take one round of questions from our telegram community.\n\n_______________\n\n𝔢𝔪𝔪𝔞\n- What are the possible ways to get $UFT? Will it be exclusively through Farming? And what are the advantages of being a holder when using the platform?\n\n𝔢𝔪𝔪𝔞 \nIn what ways will Unilend reward those who provide liquidity for spot trading and Lending of assets on UNILEND..and what strategies do you have to bring in more liquidity to assets listed for spot trading on unilend\n__________\nPUTRI\nMany projects related to farming offer a massive % of APY, and at the end mint a lot of tokens to try to reach that promise, decreasing value, or, even being scam. That's why I ask you, what APY is offered with $UFT?\n\n____________________\nJerry\nWhat are the plans for liquidity bootstrapping\n\n___________________\nStephania McDermott\nWhere does the project name come from?

On StaFi users can stake PoS tokens through StaFi and receive rTokens in return, which are available for trading, while still earning staking rewards.\n_________________\nDelroy anchored the AMA session as usual. The details of the AMA begin below.\n_______________\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nHey Everyone!\n\nWe are going to be starting with our AMA with Stafi Protocol today in the next 5 minutes. Please stay tuned to this channel.\n\nYoung Liam @kamiesheep from Stafi Protocol wil be present with us today for the AMA.\nHere we go!\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nHey @kamiesheep Welcome to Matic. I hope you’re doing well and staying safe. And thanks for joining us today on the AMA. This is a series of AMA’s that we are doing to ensure our community gets know the Validators that run the Matic Network\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nHello again, Matic community, thank you for having me @delroybosco\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nLikewise @kamiesheep\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nSo Liam, would you like to give an introduction to the community about Stafi Protocol?\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nSure.\nStaFi is the first DeFi protocol unlocking liquidity of staked assets. Users can stake PoS tokens through StaFi and receive rTokens in return, which are available for trading, while still earning staking rewards. FIS is the native token on StaFi Chain. FIS is required to provide security to the network by staking, pay for transaction fees on the StaFi chain, and mint & redeem rTokens.\n\nCurrently we are running a validator on Matic network, name of the node is Wetez.\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nWetez is a staking service provider. and Wetez is a professional team in the PoS ( Proof of Stake) field, We provide staking as service for over 20 projects(Like Maitc, Tezos, Cosmos, Polkadot, etc) . For institutions, we provide the most secure and efficient node management service; For individual investors, we provide convenient delegation service and tools. Wetez has been working in the staking space for nearly 3 years, and we will continue to empower individual rights what PoS consensus brings in the future.\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nWe have experiences on staking services, and Wetez will play a role as a Matic consensus protector, and StaFi will facilitate staker to unlock liquidity of staked Matic in the coming future.\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nWow! That’s a great introduction. And I do remember about the stake drop that you guys did earlier this year on the Matic Network. The whole community was buzzing about it.\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nYea, drop campaign is a gift for the great partner.\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nAbsolutely!\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\n300,000 FIS were dropped to the Matic Stakers\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nWow! That’s really cool\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nSo thanks for letting us know the different networks you are already running nodes on. However, when it comes to Matic, what made you choose Matic Network to operate a node on?\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nWe have been providing more than 20 kind of staking services for staker, Mainnet like Matic, Tezos, Cosmos, Kava, Harmony, Polkadot/Kusama, Oasis, Akcash, Near, Chainlink, Solana, Chainx,Irisnet, IOST, Wanchain, Icon, Aion, Pchain, IoTx, etc.\n\nThere are many networks still in the testnet stage, many potential projects have our support as well.\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nWe are always looking for potential projects and hope to grow with them. The current Staking awards may not cover our costs, so we hope that the project that we cooperate with will have a relatively large growth space in the future. Matic is the great project we followed months ago. We are really excited to be a delegated validators on Matic network.\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nFor the reason why we choose Matic network?\n\nStaFi and Wetez have a great connection with Matic, we held 2 AMAs on staking topic with Matic team before, those discussions were fruitful , and we think there are many things we can work together, it is not only included being a validator on Matic network, but also we can help staker unlock their staked asset in the future, staker can get the staking reward while get the liquid staking at the same time. We are building the infrastructures for the liquid staking, let’s see.\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nDefinitely , Matic is a great and solid project in layer 2 space, deeper collaborations will come soon, we start from validators, we know validating, and Wetez can be a best protector for Matic network.\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nWhoa! The prospect of liquid staking sound promising.\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nAlso, thank you for the detailed response\nI see that you guys have a lot of experience in operating nodes over multiple networks. Is that Challenging for you?\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nYea, it is a big challenge, but thanks to the our experience, we know validating, and we do investigation before providing staking service for staker, to make sure we know every unique staking mechanisms .\nThere are 2 things we should consider, one is the cost/return and the other is the slash condition.\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nWe must avoid to be slashed with any reasons, if it happens, that will be harmful to the network also we have a painful loss of deposit, we have to monitor the server and make sure its uptime, and try to help staker earn much rewards as we can\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nExcellent answer Liam!\nThat way you have managed to tell us about your exhaustive experience that you guys hold in this industry which is great for us because you are already part of our network.\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nAnd we look forward to working with you guys not only on our validator segment but also on multiple other platforms\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nExperienced validator need a stable network as well, def Matic is one of that kind.\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nThanks Liam. This means a lot\nKnowing the fact that you guys have been operating nodes on so many networks, how do you ensure that you maintain efficiency of each and every node that your operate?\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nAfter years of development, we already have a very mature management mechanism, including mature monitoring tools, mature upgraded method of severs, mature downtime management of servers, etc. We will bring our experience to Matic to achieve effective management.\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nIn addition, we have been working in the Layer 2 field for a long time. Wetez is one of the first validator of the Loom network. We run node for more than 1 year, so it is similar for us to run a node in a Layer 2 network.\nThat’s the key I think\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nAnd I think you’re right. Being in this industry for so long will bring a mature understanding of all aspects of the industry. And I just checked your Node performance on our Dashboard and you’re running at almost 100% Performance. That basically just states everything that you’ve said about Maturity.\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nYea, server, monitor, tools, etc, all we build is for the staking, including staking derivatives\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nThat’s fantastic.\nSo boiling down to the most important question of the day, In terms of Delegation, why should delegators stake on your node? What would be the benefits for them?\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nDelegating stakes to an experienced staking service provider is your best option, many holders do not have time and skill on running node, you can delegate to Wetez, and then sit back and get rewards without any concerns.\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nThrough the years of running node, Wetez is facing 0 slash issue, and with higher uptime, it means we create reward for staker as much as we can, which means we are providing a better security for the network.\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nAlso StaFi is in deeper collaboration with Matic, we both are looking for Matic staking derivatives in the future, we do need support from Matic communities.\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nI suppose that is good news for Delegators who will delegate to your node as they will also have the opportunity for staking derivates through Stafi.\n#Community please take note.\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nSo Liam, what do you think about Commission Rates? What do you feel like would be an attractive commission rate for Stafi and for other validators as well?\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nWe usually set 5%~10% as we did on other projects,it depends on the cost of node operation, but we will decrease if all validators set a lower commission. We don’t want to initiate a price war or participate in a price war, we do think we can provide a valuable solution for Matic network and grow with Matic.\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nAbsolutely! Thanks for sharing this information Liam\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nI had a question about Node security but I think we already covered that in the questions above.\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nSo I’m pretty sure you must have delegators / people coming to you with concerns about delegating to a node. How do you address these concerns and would there be anything that you would like make aware to community when it comes to delegation on nodes such as you?\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nI think it is the history of node operation on projects. Delegators can check your validator’s history on the staking industry, and check if there are any slash cases, how does uptime perform, etc.\n\nAlso you can read more resources they wrote, their speech/presentation, and etc. of course if they have contributed to the stake industry already.\nThat’s the point.\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nThat’s interesting. So whenever Delegation does open up on Matic, your message to the delegators is to ensure that they research thoroughly about a Project before delegating. That’s quite honest feedback Liam. Thanks!\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nSo I have a couple of questions for you before I open up the chat for the community for their questions.\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nNo problem\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nSince you guys boast such a good reputation in the industry, what would you say to up and coming validators from the community? Any words of encouragement for them on how do they approach the idea of running nodes on a network?\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nYea, with time fiies, PoS consensus is widely adopted, to secure and decentralized new PoS network, we do need new validator to join into staking insdustry.\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nNew validator should know well about the design, and do more research , then you can start to run node, but also keep in mind, the slash is really harmful, make sure you know every details of it.\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nAbsolutely! Slashing and Uptime are 2 important factors for running a node efficiently\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nSo Liam I’m done with my questions. I’ll be unmuting the chat now for the community to ask their questions.\n______________________\nThe community members went on to ask their questions while Liam answered them satisfyingly.\n__________________\nNate Klemm\nHow does someone mint rMATIC? And how am I incentivized to do so?\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\n[In reply to Nate Klemm]\nStaFi will launch Staking Contract for Matic, Matic staker can staking Matic via SC then get rMatic in return, we build infrastructure for rMatic, like trading and lending, etc. Also we will launch a stakingdrop campaign for the minting as well, stay tuned for further ann.\n\nShabbir Husain\nDeFi is the new frontier and already buzzing in 2020, what roles do you play in innovativeness of DeFi and what’s your approach to DeFi and ultimate DeFi solutions?\n\nvan\nThe financial markets, cryptos market … all fell due to the covid-19 epidemic. Does this affect your project development plan?\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\n[In reply to van]\nThanks for asking, actually we devs are all good, we are distributed, and stay and work at home, so far so good, hoping you are well.\n\nCool Hi\nAre you afraid that hackers are stalking and attacking your system?\n\nWhich technology is behind is responsible for protecting your platf\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\n[In reply to Cool Hi]\nActually yes, open source projects have the same concerns. To make sure its security , audit is needed and bug bounty is a best way to find out the potential issues\n\nDavid Prince\nLow liquidity is one of the main problems with the DeFi Project, so what are you going to do about it? Do you have a liquidity provider program? What benefits for liquidity providers?\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\n[In reply to David Prince]\nWe dont create asset, staking derivative is backed by staked assets, so liquidity for staking derivatives will have liquidity from the original one\n\nShabbir Husain\nTell us about your plans for 2021, what are you currently working on, and are you going to expand the list of big exchanges?\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\n[In reply to Shabbir Husain]\nWe are bring a new asset into Defi, cuz rToken is Yield-generating asset, different from the asset that exsits in the Defi, logo built with rToken gonna be interesting. Let’s see.\nWe divided our rToken stardard into 4 categories , substrate based project, cosmos sdk project, Ethereum based project, and others, 2021 is the year of building standard\n\nOM\nWhere did you get the inspiration for this unique project idea of Stafi Protocol ? And what influence will we have on the crypto industry due to the project?\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\n[In reply to OM]\nControversy between token liquidity and mainnet security of PoS consensus, we have rich experiences in staking industry, we know what the pain point is\n\nDelroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nAlright @kamiesheep Thanks for answering all mine and the community’s questions today. It was an excellent session and you gave brilliant answers.\n\nIt was great having you today for the AMA. I hope we can do this again sometime in the future.\n\nThe AMA has now ended. Thanks for all your questions #Community\n\nIf you’d like to know more about Stafi Protocol please join their Telegram channel: https://t.me/stafi_protocol\n\nLiam | Stafi Protocol\nThanks @delroybosco Thank you Matic community, and thank you for having me again",

On this series I highlight happenings on the Matic Network, such as projects and DApps integrated on Matic Network, Matic Network's integrations on protocols, partnerships and other important updates.\n##### Today we'll be talking about ZED RUN, a first-of-its-kind provably fair blockchain-powered digital horse racing/betting game.\n__________________\n### MATIC NETWORK\n______________\n\n![1 hOf3Wsoor1Bm5Jl_4uMJ9w.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZ862qJgYty6x49pqYXruwsDBZEdTNkQYv29au1NfcCkt/1%20hOf3Wsoor1Bm5Jl_4uMJ9w.png)\n_______________\n\nMatic network is a blockchain solution that provides scalable, secure and instant Ethereum transactions using Plasma side chains and a Proof-of-Stake network. Matic network has made an effort to resolve the issues of scalability and usability without making a compromise on decentralization.\nIt is an off/side chain scaling solution for existing platforms to provide scalability and superior user experience to DApps/user functionalities.\n________________\nMatic network was created to solve the problem of scalability associated with most blockchains and also accelerate transaction speeds.\nWhen developers seek to deploy their solutions using blockchain technology, speed and scalability are two utmost features they look out for. Matic network solves these problems very well while adding additional features such as a smooth user experience and security.\nMore than 70 dApps have been built on Matic, ranging from DeFi protocols to games and prediction markets. With more validator nodes being onboarded on the Matic Network progressively, it is on the path to full decentralization and becoming the most sought after Layer 2 network in the blockchain ecosystem.\n_____________\nIn today's part of the series, we'd be looking at ZED RUN, a first-of-its-kind provably fair blockchain-powered digital horse racing/betting game.\n___________________\n### ZED RUN\n__________\n\n![r5v7WE8c_400x400.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZqXGdxNKEzZagcMFzh1fX2j3sBrPrvqUCocpBqDCynMn/r5v7WE8c_400x400.jpg)\n________\n\nZED is a digital horse racing game where players can build a stable of racehorses by buying, breeding, and racing digital racehorses. The ultimate goal in ZED is to create a legacy with a valuable stable full of winning and rare racehorses. The more you breed and race, the greater your legacy becomes. Once your stable is formed with at least one racehorse, you can earn a profit if you decide to sell, breed or race!\n___________\nIt is a first-of-its-kind provably fair blockchain-powered digital horse racing/betting game. Hundreds of users are creating their legacy by buying, breeding & racing digital thoroughbreds.\nZED RUN is onboarding to Matic Network to leverage on it's unique layer 2 solution and is now on live on the Matic Mainnet.\n____________\n\n![Eng06SRUUAUtLY0.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmd28G2aHAmCiCymbQfqokqjT7GRDDQS2Udusr5RUo8R8L/Eng06SRUUAUtLY0.jpg)\n\n______________\nZED RUN's integration with Matic Network is a supermove by them. The gaming experience on the blockchain has been hampered by various bottle necks such as slow speeds and exorbitant fees which discourages adoption. Hence gaming projects have seen the need to leverage on blockchain solutions offering seamless user experience for it's users.\nMatic Network provides cheaper transactions at breakneck speeds with the same level of security as Ethereum. ZED users are therefore now being empowered with a seamless and secure racing experience, powered by Matic.\n\n_______\n\n![GjgUORJp.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYjesRZJE1U17eoGvNMR5ncpHFSpu62SXJrLvehk8DWRp/GjgUORJp.png)\n_______________\n\nIn celebration of ZED RUN onboarding to Matic, a $200 community giveaway has been launched! 10 lucky winners will each win $20 in $MATIC simply for spreading the word and supporting the newest DApp on Matic!\n______________\nParticipate here:\nhttps://buff.ly/2HcLg0v\nMatic is rapidly becoming the go-to Layer 2 solution for developers, thanks to secure, scalable and instant transactions, secured by Ethereum.

      "title": "MATIC NETWORK AMA WITH BICONOMY - NOVEMBER 23 2020",
      "body": "On November 23rd, 2020, Aniket Jindal, COO at Biconomy, connected with the Matic community to discuss why $MATIC stakers should delegate to Biconomy’s node. \nBiconomy is an early validator on the Matcic Network and their project offers seamless onboarding & optimised transactions on web3 projects with minimal efforts for developers.\n\nDelroy anchored the AMA session as the host. Here are the details of the AMA.\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nHey Everyone! We are starting with the AMA with the Biconomy team in 2 mins\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nWe will be opening up the questions for the community once the AMA is done. Please free to ask your questions to the Biconomy team\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nPlease welcome the Biconomy team who will be hosting with today for the AMA. Aniket Jindal @nodevestor will be joining us today.\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nHey @nodevestor how are you doing?\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nhello everyone!\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nvery well, thanks. How about you ?\n\n#### Delroy :\nI’m doing quite alright too. Thanks for asking\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens):\nIts really nice to have the Biconomy team today here. You guys were one of the first validators that we had onboarded when we launched our Mainnet\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nLikewise, it’s been a quite a long journey\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nsuper excited for today’s AMA\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens):\nIt would be nice if you could introduce Biconomy to our community. Many of us must already know but it would be great for the newbies to get to know about you as well\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nSure thing, my name is Aniket Jindal and I’m the COO at Biconomy, thanks for having me.\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nBiconomy is a developer platform that empowers blockchain developers to enable a simplified transaction and onboarding experience for their Web3 project.\n\nThe plug-n-play solution allows Web 3 interactions to be smooth and seamless between DApps and end-users by removing blockchain complexities. We do this by providing a non-custodial, and gas efficient relayer infrastructure network that enables meta transactions at scale.\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens):\nYes! Meta transasction and gasless transactions are heavily required right now considering the gas prices that we see daily on the Ethereum network. Thanks for the introduction Aniket.\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens):\nSo why did you choose Matic Network as one of the network to operate a Node on?\n\n#### Aniket Jindal:\nFirst of all, since the beginning of Biconomy as we mentioned earlier, we have been closely working with the Matic team. Matic is the first network on which we are running an official validator node and it has been a great experience.\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nFew reasons we chose to run Matic validator were :\n\n1. We are supporting and integrating a lot of projects building on Matic so it made sense to run validator support to further provide better support to these Dapps\n2. We do see a lot of synergies between Matic and our vision of making dapps mainstream\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nNeedless to say, we believe Matic has a great future and we want to be an integral part of that future for sure :)\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nThanks for the Kind words Aniket! We absolutely feel the same about Biconomy too. We are in this for the long haul 😊\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nSo talking about Matic and building synergies, could you tell us about the experience you have within the Blockchain and Staking industry?\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nsure\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\n2 years ago back in late 2018, when we first started Biconomy, we started with a running node for Tezos. But after some time we started to see the friction which a normal user will face and eventually lose the interest in any Blockchain-related dapp. Hence we started looking for the solution for that and working towards our one single goal, how to make life easier for any blockchain user and how to enable seamless onboarding for users.\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nIt has been a great journey since then!\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nAbsolutely! I think “Making things easier for the user” has been the fundamental vision of Matic as well and that’s why our collaboration has been working kindly.\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nabsolutely\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nWe know that Matic is one of the first nodes that you are operating. Are you operating nodes for any other networks / projects and what measures do you take to efficiently run them?\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nJust to clarify, we are a relayer infra service provider and not a node operator. However, we do see ourselves running nodes for the projects we support\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nTo efficiently run the nodes, we have our servers running behind firewalls and have DDOS protection mechanisms deployed. We are following sentry server architecture that adds an extra layer of protection to our staking server. We have alerts and monitoring systems in place that monitor our servers for any high resource usage and alerts us if any red flag is found.\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nOh great! That means you will be well informed whenever things are not working correcly on your node with all the monitoring tools. Nice!\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nYep! We have automated most of it!\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nSo coming down the important question of the day. Delegation. We are planning to open up delegations for everyone (Community and External nodes) in December. Are you looking forward to it?\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nabsolutely, the entire biconomy team and community is excited\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nWe are partnering with a plethora of projects from defi to gaming and may more. We will be launching many exciting campaign so that we can distribute exclusive rewards to the community\nAgain we are just getting started and trying to be as creative as possible so would be needing a lot of support and feedback from the community\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nAbsolutely! We know for a fact that a lot of people in the community are excited for the Delegations to be open as well.\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nSo in terms of Delegation, and this is one of the most important questions that Delegators have when they look forward to delegation. Why should delegators stake on your node? Would there be any benefits for them\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nBiconomy, being a chain agnostic middleware as a company is exposed to all types of transactions. As mentioned, we will be launching many exciting campaign so that we can distribute exclusive rewards to the community.\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nAgain, we would be needing a lot of support and feedback from the community\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nwork in progress!!\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nThis is exciting news @nodevestor We cannot wait to here more about your campaigns. I’m sure the community is as well excited about it\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nSo staying on the topic of Delegation, What kind of concerns have you come across when talking to people about delegation when they ask questions like, “who should I delegate to” and how do you address these? Also, are there any other concerns that you would like to clarify?\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\ngood question\n\n1. Security, how secure are we — As I mentioned above We have alerts and monitoring systems in place that monitor our servers for any high resource usage and alerts us if any red flag is found.\n2. Trust, why should they trust biconomy ? — we have a long history of running nodes and been using the best practices to instill trust in the community\n3. Node uptime- for this we are closely working with Matic team to monitor our node performance and how we can improve it. also internally in our team we are planning to build a automated notification system which will keep on monitoring the nodes and notify immediatly.\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nMoreover, easy UX/smooth onboarding can be more of a pull in that alleviates a concern.\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nGood point about Node Uptime. You guys have been running your node at almost 100% performance which is line with our Foundation Nodes. So great going guys, that is absolutely great efficiency on your node.\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nMoving to the last 2 questions for the AMA. And these are more in lines for new and coming validators.\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nthanks to our hard working dev team!\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nSure!\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nWhat are the some of the biggest challenges for operating nodes? Some of our community members would be looking forward to this question\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nValidator business model is a business where there is predictable income, however, it’s a business model where fees can go down over time due to competition. The challenge is to pick the best networks that can provide the best sustainable rewards over time and how to best beat competition by not using fees alone but rather other things such as brand, other ancillary services.\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nSo you’re basically saying to research extensively before jumping on the wagon to run a node. Am I correct?\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nyep, and we will try our best to spread awareness from our end to the community\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nSo in terms of encouragement, what would you like to say to up and coming validators. Someone who wants to run a node on Matic but are nervous about it.\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nEspecially on PoS networks like Matic\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nThe first and the foremost thing for anyone considering to run a validator node to thoroughly read the entire token economies of the network. This will definitely give an idea to pick right projects and also get an overview of the potential ROI.\n\nThere is another important aspect to build the infrastructure needed. It can be both time consuming and a bit expensive so only if you are willing to make that upfront investment to get into this business.\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nrest, we have the every supporting matic team to guide the way!\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nhope the above was encouraging\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nVery insightful answer I must say Aniket.\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nLastly, anything that you would like to add?\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nLastly i will say, we are super excited to be working closely with the matic team. We can clearly see matic being one of the most preferred layer 2 solutions at this point of time. There are a lot of awesome projects yet to be launched in the pipeline. So it’s a good time to be in the industry.\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nThanks a lot for the kind words. Well, I’m going to be opening up the channel for the community to ask their questions now\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens) :\nThis was a Great AMA @nodevestor\n\n#### Aniket Jindal :\nthanks a lot for having me!\n____________\n##### Next session was the questions asked by the audience. The channel was unmuted for participants to ask Aniket questions they had about Biconomy.\n________________\n#1 Republic and Freedom :\nGasless transactions is something that I have no doubt is novel and very attractive. My question is, if gas is a fee that rewards nodes and avoids spam, if there is no gas, how then does Biconomy intend to avoid saturation of the network? Or seen in another way, with gasless, who pays the bill?\n\nAniket Jindal\n[In reply to Republic and Freedom]\ngreat question! the projects integrating biconomy pay the has bill currently. and on matic it’s very cheap so all the projects take it more of a server cost\n______\n#2 💛💚Blanca💙 ❤️ :\nYour website says “Blockchain Agnostic”. What exactly is agnostic? From what perspective is this measured or rated?\n\nAniket Jindal\n[In reply to 💛💚Blanca💙 ❤️]\nwe are currently compatible with all the evm based chains. Also, we are building on Tezos as we speak\n_____\n#3 Jolaine #CryptoAdoption Team\nHow do you deal with the current race of hackers trying to exploit any smartcontract related to dApps and DeFis? Do you have any active hackathons or bug bounty to help improve the platform? Or also, are you working with auditors?\n\nAniket Jindal\n[In reply to Jolaine #CryptoAdoption Team]\nWe are actually very active in sponsoring hackathons and giving dev grants. We recently sponsored eth global and currently sponsoring money dance by ava labs. Yes, our contracts are audited\n_________\n#4 In FUTURE We CRYPTO\nHi all! You currently support matic, ethereum xDai. Do you plan to join other networks? Since there is currently fierce competition over which is the best blockchain for dApps, we have BSC, tron, Bitcoin 2nd layers. What do you think? Thank you very much\n\nAniket Jindal\n[In reply to In FUTURE We CRYPTO]\nbsc and ava are already supported on the test net. Yes, you see new chains being supported as we move along\n_______\n#5 Ayush Gupta\nPretty insightful AMA, Delroy and Aniket! @nodevestor, if you have to advise a person looking into Biconomy and GSN, what key benefits would you mention for him to stick to Biconomy only?\n\nAniket Jindal\n[In reply to Ayush Gupta]\nhahah, i gotta the answer ready for this..\nBiconomy Pros:\n- Dashboard for developers to more granular control on meta transaction usage.\n- Quick 2 step integration with no extra smart contract deployments.\n- No need to worry about protocol changes or new trends on blockchain. Biconomy makes sure the system is upto date with market trends.\n- Less gas per transaction as no extra hops on-chain and payments are processed off-chain.\n- Gas fee can be paid in stable tokens, ERC20 tokens or Fiat.\n\nBiconomy Cons:\n- Not decentralized, so need to trust biconomy servers for processing transaction.\n\nGSN Pros:\n- Decentralized system, so no need to trust any single relayer.\n- GSN2 is simpler than GSN1, so comparatively easy to setup.\n- Relayers can be paid in ERC20 tokens while paying back the fees.\n\nGSN Cons:\n- Extra setup is required.\n- High relayers fees.\n- Regular monitoring on DApp funds is required to repay the relayers.\n- High transaction fee, as extra processing done on chain like multiple hops, checking dapp deposits, relayer payments.\n70 cents more costlier than biconomy, per transaction.\n______________\n#6 💛💚Blanca💙 ❤️\nWhats are advantages including gaming plataform here?\n\nAniket Jindal\n[In reply to 💛💚Blanca💙 ❤️]\ngaming works perfectly with meta transactions as we see high volume of transaction and removing per transaction fees is key to spread mass adoption. There are couple of games such as zedrun, decentral games going live with biconomy\n___________\n#7 Moises\nI have read that 2 years ago they started with an execution node for Tezos and currently their node is running on Matic, so I wonder, how do these 2 compare in the Biconomy ecosystem? Also, what impact has the latter generated?\n\nAniket Jindal\n[In reply to Moises]\nAs mentioned we just started off with tezos baking and hence started running a tezos but we realised other important ux problems to be soved as we dug deeper so discontinued our services.\n_________\n#8 Lun Mei (CryptoBuddhist)\nAnd how does Biconomy make its profits? I am concerned about the sustainability of the projects\n\nAniket Jindal\n[In reply to Lun Mei (CryptoBuddhist)]\nWe are currently working on a monthly subscription basis so all these projects integrating us have paid a monthly fees\n\nAnd that ended the audience participation segment.\n_____________\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nThanks for joining us today @nodevestor It was was a pleasure. We have now ended with the AMA. Thanks to the community for all your questions! I hope you have a great evening ahead.\n\n#### Delroy (Will Never ask you for ETH or Tokens)\nFolks that have more questions for the Biconomy team, please join their telegram channel: https://t.me/biconomy\n\n#### Aniket Jindal\nThanks a lot @delroybosco and the entire matic team\n\n#### Aniket Jindal\n\nIt was a great session!",

It has been the trend and buzz and that is because of the solution it brings to finance and its edge over traditional finance.\nWith DeFi, It is a permissionless ecosystem, hence it is accessible to anybody wherever. Transparency, absence of a centralized entity and custody of personal funds are among the factors making DeFi sought after for now. With DeFi, financial services normally restricted to certain individuals can be accessed. These ones are the “Unbanked”. DeFi is an accessible alternative to banks, lending firms and money markets for them. The trend has become so massive that the total value locked in DeFi(USD) equated $13.46B as at November 2020. This is so massive and is proof that the DeFi sector has potential.\n__________\nThe DeFi space is always building upon current capabilities and experimenting with new ones. The build-centric ethos of the space has transpired into a rich ecosystem filled with ground-breaking financial services. So many DeFi products and services keep on springing up in a bid to improve the DeFi ecossytem and provide solutions or fill in the gaps in the sector. These range from decentralized exchanges to borrowing and lending protocols, decentralized oracles, derivatives protocols and so much more. As more and more products spring up, the ecosystem thrives and evolves.\n___________\nThere has been numerous popular DeFi protocols in the past year that have been providing DeFi services quite efficiently and they are mostly DeFi lending protocols. These include Compound, Aave, Curve Finance, Balancer, Maker DAO e.t.c. These DeFi lending platforms have promised to fill the gap lagging in traditional banking/finance which is actually the goal of Decentralized finance.\nInterestingly, while they have been able to serve the DeFi ecosystem efficiently there has been some gaps. For example, majority of digital assets cannot be used on their platforms, real world assets in traditional finance cannot be incorporated into DeFi and some lack certain trading features. Hence there is still room for evolution of DeFi products. Enter Unilend….\n____\n# <center>UNILEND FINANCE</center>\n_____\n![Unilend Horizontal Logo.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVKvfvMTEDm2X8NMWNGUwh3tywupFPSQELNbm5cPeGKof/Unilend%20Horizontal%20Logo.png)\n______\nUnilend is a decentralized protocol built from the ground up for the purpose of bridging the current gaps found in the current DeFi products in the ecosystem so as to provide an optimal DeFi experience for users in the sphere. In effect, it is unlocking the true potential of decentralized finance. It is a permission-less decentralized protocol that combines spot trading services and money markets with lending and services through smart contracts. With Unilend, majority of assets can be used in decentralized finance. Therefore there is flexibility with choice of assets to be used in the protocol.

It has been the trend and buzz and that is because of the solution it brings to finance and its edge over traditional finance.\nWith DeFi, It is a permissionless ecosystem, hence it is accessible to anybody wherever. Transparency, absence of a centralized entity and custody of personal funds are among the factors making DeFi sought after for now. With DeFi, financial services normally restricted to certain individuals can be accessed. These ones are the “Unbanked”. DeFi is an accessible alternative to banks, lending firms and money markets for them. The trend has become so massive that the total value locked in DeFi(USD) equated $13.46B as at November 2020. This is so massive and is proof that the DeFi sector has potential.\n__________\nThe DeFi space is always building upon current capabilities and experimenting with new ones. The build-centric ethos of the space has transpired into a rich ecosystem filled with ground-breaking financial services. So many DeFi products and services keep on springing up in a bid to improve the DeFi ecossytem and provide solutions or fill in the gaps in the sector. These range from decentralized exchanges to borrowing and lending protocols, decentralized oracles, derivatives protocols and so much more. As more and more products spring up, the ecosystem thrives and evolves.\n___________\nThere has been numerous popular DeFi protocols in the past year that have been providing DeFi services quite efficiently and they are mostly DeFi lending protocols. These include Compound, Aave, Curve Finance, Balancer, Maker DAO e.t.c. These DeFi lending platforms have promised to fill the gap lagging in traditional banking/finance which is actually the goal of Decentralized finance.\nInterestingly, while they have been able to serve the DeFi ecosystem efficiently there has been some gaps. For example, majority of digital assets cannot be used on their platforms, real world assets in traditional finance cannot be incorporated into DeFi and some lack certain trading features. Hence there is still room for evolution of DeFi products. Enter Unilend….\n____\n# <center>UNILEND FINANCE</center>\n_____\n![Unilend Horizontal Logo.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVKvfvMTEDm2X8NMWNGUwh3tywupFPSQELNbm5cPeGKof/Unilend%20Horizontal%20Logo.png)\n______\nUnilend is a decentralized protocol built from the ground up for the purpose of bridging the current gaps found in the current DeFi products in the ecosystem so as to provide an optimal DeFi experience for users in the sphere. In effect, it is unlocking the true potential of decentralized finance. It is a permission-less decentralized protocol that combines spot trading services and money markets with lending and services through smart contracts. With Unilend, majority of assets can be used in decentralized finance. Therefore there is flexibility with choice of assets to be used in the protocol. Physical assets can also be tokenized on Unilend and used in decentralized finance with Unilend. Unilend also combines spot trading with a lending and borrowing protocol simultaneously which is the first of it’s kind.

On this series I highlight happenings on the Matic Network, such as projects and DApps integrated on Matic Network, Matic Network’s integrations on protocols, partnerships and other important updates.\n_____\nBeen a while since i dropped this weekly series and i honestly apologize for this.\nAnd as you have noticed, I have changed the title of the weekly series from “MATIC DAPP SPOTLIGHT WITH UBONG EPHRAIM” to  **“MATIC NETWORK SPOTLIGHT WITH UBONG EPHRAIM”**. DAPP SPOTLIGHT seems to be a restrictive title as I would love to review other stuff happening on the Matic Network asides Dapps integrated on the leading layer 2 network.\n_____\nToday we’ll be talking about Gravity Protocol, a blockchain-agnostic oracle system and cross-chain communication network, but before we go into Gravity protocol let’s talk a bit about Matic Network.\n______\n### MATIC NETWORK\n_______\n\n![matic logo.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmemzw8ws97g1pJsmrHrnYoYtkLuqcaYkg1hJVnfMGuhVi/matic%20logo.png)\n____\nMatic network is a blockchain solution that provides scalable, secure and instant Ethereum transactions using Plasma side chains and a Proof-of-Stake network. Matic network has made an effort to resolve the issues of scalability and usability without making a compromise on decentralization.\nIt is an off/side chain scaling solution for existing platforms to provide scalability and superior user experience to DApps/user functionalities.\n______\nMatic network was created to solve the problem of scalability associated with most blockchains and also accelerate transaction speeds.\nWhen developers seek to deploy their solutions using blockchain technology, speed and scalability are two utmost features they look out for. Matic network solves these problems very well while adding additional features such as a smooth user experience and security.\n______\nMore than 70 dApps have been built on Matic, ranging from DeFi protocols to games and prediction markets. With more validator nodes being onboarded on the Matic Network progressively, it is on the path to full decentralization and becoming the most sought after Layer 2 network in the blockchain ecosystem.\n______\nIn today’s part of the series, we’d be looking at Gravity Protocol, a blockchain-agnostic oracle system and cross-chain communication network.\n______\n### GRAVITY PROTOCOL\n_____\n\n![gravty.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNeTxr4Rwawrs8s7EXhWx5Yr5ZUEJTDXCSKbrQe72kumX/gravty.jpg)\n________\nGravity Protocol is a blockchain-agnostic oracle system that supports communication of blockchains with the outside world, cross-chain communication, and sidechains within a single unified structure. Oracles in blockchain enable real time data feeds communicated to a blockchain network accurately.Gravity Protocol connects different blockchains and external centralized data sources seamlessly without creating a native token of its own.\n________\nMatic Network’s integration with Gravity Protocol will enable cross-chain interoperability and also accelerate the advancement and building of next-gen cross-chain solutions on the Matic Network. Again, with more and more DeFi solutions partnering with and building on Matic Network, the integration of Matic Network with Gravity Protocol will encourage adoption of Matic Network by cross-chain DeFi solutions.\n________\n\n![ElBy5TMUUAAEbcN.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmckzDsVP6eYZd5DW2uVkDML8CzXjReMnWKCtgUEVR2YGJ/ElBy5TMUUAAEbcN.jpg)\n_____\n### Key Benefits of Matic Network integration with Gravity Protocol\n\n(I) Cross-chain swaps and trading opportunities for the MATIC token:\nMATIC tokens will be wrapped and accessible on Gravity’s current target chains, including Waves and Tron, as well as on any new chain added in the future. MATIC will be listed on Waves.Exchange.\n_______\n(II)  Cross-chain dApp calls and oracles:\nThe Matic network will get access to oracles that retrieve data from other blockchains and APIs. Oracle data can be used on-chain for creating unique functionality, facilitating interaction between Matic and other ecosystems.\n______\n(III) Use of MATIC as a means of payment on Gravity:\nMATIC tokens will be held and locked by Gravity nodes. Data consumers will be able to use the token to pay fees, boosting demand for Matic’s token. MATIC will join the likes of ETH, WAVES, TRX as tokens that can be locked as collateral for a Gravity node.\n______\n(IV) USDN, WAVES and other Waves-based tokens will be accessible on Matic sidechains:\nNeutrino USD (USDN) is a rapidly growing stablecoin with a unique staking mechanism. More than 30 million USDN has been locked on a smart contract. Scaling the stablecoin to the Matic network will create new opportunities for the ecosystem’s users and empower Matic’s position in the blockchain space.\n____\nMatic is rapidly becoming the go-to Layer 2 solution for developers, thanks to secure, scalable and instant transactions, secured by Ethereum. Matic Network layer 2 solution with all it’s awesome features continues to place it as a sought after tool for developing business solutions on the blockchain.\n______\nWant to build with Matic too?\nFor Developers building Dapps and looking for a scaling solution, do get in touch with Matic Network. They can help you not only achieve scale but also provide the best UI/UX to your users.\n_______\nMORE INFORMATION :\nLearn more about Matic Network at : https://matic.network/\nBuild with Matic Network : https://matic.network/build-n-earn\nDApps on Matic Network : https://matic.network/dapps\nMaticNetwork wallet : https://wallet.matic.network/\nConnect with me on telegram @ubongj\nTwitter : https://twitter.com/@ubong_ephraim",

Infact, over 30 DAPPS are currently deployed on the Matic Network.\nIn today’s part of the series, we’d be looking at EasyFi, a universal layer 2 lending protocol for digital assets built on the Matic Network.\n______\n### EASYFI\n\n![1 evkdtb-P5iVQi8ndaEMViA.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQJDwHokHkMEEK29R3DoiY471ARcwzBmoGqm3MF5HfuiB/1%20evkdtb-P5iVQi8ndaEMViA.png)\n____\nEasyFi is a protocol built with a vision to solve some of the inherent challenges faced by gen 1 DeFi solutions with respect to the transaction speed and cost which are a bottleneck for DeFi operations at scale.\nThe DeFi space has seen exponential growth in recent times with the total value locked(TVL) in its smart contracts exceeding billions of dollars and it continues to rise.\n______\nThis reaffirms the fact that DeFi is offsetting traditional finance. Hence, there is a need for a robust and scalable infrastructure for decentralized finance. The high transaction fees and low speeds are hindrances to scalability and if the DeFi sphere would want to thrive and continue to gain mass adoption, these bottlenecks would need to be fixed.\n______\nEasyFi is an open and inclusive financial system built upon the most promising layer 2 solution, Matic network. They have chosen Matic Network due to its compatibility with the ethereum codebase, it’s access to the developer community of Ethereum and the power of Plasma technology on which Matic is built. By using the Matic Network layer 2 solution, EasyFi is able to serve a large number of users and handle millions of transactions by ensuring faster and cheaper transactions.\n_______\n\n![native-staking-icons.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQ4N8CK5xh54J1ZpG5Nn5DYSKqjSKBSoum3TqBHmjFj7c/native-staking-icons.png)\n_____\nEasyFi aims to focus on credit aspects of the protocol, enabling various modules for borrowers to access credit easily and responsibly. Furthermore, EasyFi will also enable modules of DeFi based Insurance to protect the capital suppliers from NPAs(Non performing assets) that might occur in the future as a result of the progression of lending markets.\n_____\nEasyFi is built to push the adoption of DeFi by enabling various untouched or under-functioning features of the financial industry using blockchain technology. Some of its core features include :\n1. Secured (Collateralized) Loans\n2. Under collateralized Loans\n3. Micro Lending\n4. Credit Delegation\n5. Credit Default Swaps\n______\n## Key Benefits of EasyFi\n##### 1. Low Cost Transactions\nEasyFi is built using layer 2 blockchain solutions enabling cheaper, faster and more efficient transactions.\n##### 2. Real World integrations\nEasyFi is built to solve real world credit requirements with required supply of capital. Hence enabling more stronger adoption.\n##### 3. Deeper Liquidity Pool.\nEasyFi is built using layer 2 blockchain on Matic Network, which harness the capability of Plasma Blockchain concepts. Hence it gives all the benefits of layer 2 solutions in terms of speed and cost; while still using the deep liquidity pools of Ethereum Mainchain.\n______\nEasyFi believes in a community-centric approach hence the protocol plans to hand over complete control, subsequently , to its user’s community through innovative governance modules. With the core philosophy of value distribution to the network participants, EasyFi thrives to incentivize its users, for initial adoption, through dual farming programs in association with the Matic network.\n_______\nMatic Network layer 2 solution with all it’s awesome features continues to place it as a sought after tool for developing business solutions on the blockchain.\nWant to build with Matic too?\nFor Developers building Dapps and looking for a scaling solution, do get in touch with Matic Network. They can help you not only achieve scale but also provide the best UI/UX to your users.\n_____\n**MORE INFORMATION :**\n[Learn more about Matic](https://matic.network/)\n[MATIC DAPPS](https://matic.network/dapps)\n[Build with Matic](https://matic.network/build-n-earn)\n[MATIC wallet](https://wallet.matic.network/)\n[Connect with me on telegram](t.me/ubongj)\n[Follow me on twitter](https://twitter.com/@ubong_ephraim)",

      "body": "![pexels-panumas-nikhomkhai-1148820.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmW8tFL3CsQUt48DVh7aK5dxaCVmaSQYNmDNxCnv93MLme/pexels-panumas-nikhomkhai-1148820.jpg)\n_____\nAs business models change and technological advances and solutions keep on surging exponentially, the need for data storage solutions is on the rise. The real demand is not on the availability of these services as database services abound numerously. The problem lies in the efficiency of these services with relation to security, decentralization, cost, scalability an other factors.\n If you were to choose a database management service for your business or solution, the number of options available could be daunting and this choice overload could cause problems. Hence there is the need to find the ideal data management system solving the problems listed above.\n_____\nLet us now highlight the main challenges faced by businesses when sourcing for data management solutions and a solution that solves all these problems.\n______\n\n![pexels-manuel-geissinger-325223.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUCtoZW3e9Nrj7zUGBdo7NrdcKAxQzNGVCejnZQoHYMEu/pexels-manuel-geissinger-325223.jpg)\n______\n### CENTRALIZATION : \nCentralized data services are highly susceptible to data breaches and tampering of data\n### SCALABILITY : \nScalability and resource usage limitations could hamper speed and quality of services\n### SECURITY : \nData breaches due to insecure data management could cost lots of money losses for businesses\n### COST : \nThe cost of decentralized data management systems especially on the blockchain is currently outrageous\n_____\n## THE BLUZELLE SOLUTION\n_____\n\n![0_breNAhlu023gpKzs.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVCxurcBiA68wVtmGX5j6ZEDzp1FmDS6MCGzKZYEyrsrE/0_breNAhlu023gpKzs.png)\n_____\nBluzelle is a decentralized data network for dapps to manage data in a secure, tamper-proof, and highly scalable manner. Bluzelle is powered by Cosmos and its BFT technology Tendermint. Bluzelle is designed to be used by any dapp on any blockchain. Bluzelle plays a critical role in the advancement and adoption of Web 3.0. Its advanced data delivery network promises to protect businesses from data breaches, network failures, and performance troubles. Bluzelle serves as an “Airbnb of databases,” with developers paying for storage space and read/write to the decentralized database. Bluzelle provides fully decentralized data storage that combines the power of blockchain with the simplicity of traditional databases.\n_____\n### CENTRALIZATION\nIn centralized database services, data is created from an application and stored on one or two servers that can be located in a specific place. Using a centralized data store with a Dapp gives it one point to attack the system, hack the data, and take the database down.\nWith Bluzelle, the data is stored on a decentralized network of 13 or more nodes. Each of these networks is termed a DATABASE ZONE, and all ZONES are synced together. No node is a leader, ensuring that if a node is offline, the data is still available as all the other nodes have a copy. Additionally, because all the nodes are synced with a consensus engine, no changes can be made to the database unless ⅔(two-thirds) of the nodes agree. This decentralized model ensures that data is safe and tamper proof. Hence, there are no fears of data being tampered with.\n______\n### SCALABILITY : \nSo many database services face scalability limitations. As we highlighted at the beginning of the article, technological solutions are fast rising and businesses continue to grow exponentially, so there is the continual need for data storage management which could become overwhelming. Scalability limitations could affect performance and speed of a service as well.\nOn Bluzelle, providers rent out their extra computer hardware. This makes it cheaper to store and data is always available even if one or more nodes go down. Finally, as an application requires more storage, more database zones can be added, ensuring scalability without the developer needing to do extra work and provisioning.\n_____\n### SECURITY : \nIn today’s digital world, security is the most prevalent concern. Businesses have to make sure that every bit of their data remains safe and at limited risk of cyber hacks and data breaches. Database breaches of highly sensitive information have led to the the loss of reputation of so many companies and a lack of trust in them.\nDatabases are the hidden workhorses of many companies’ IT systems, storing critical public and private data. Lately there has been an understandable and high-profile emphasis on data security. A data breach typically costs a company millions of dollars in losses and loss of reputation as well.\nBluzelle leverages the power of blockchain-like security, where data is accurate and only changed by the rightful owner. The decentralized mechanism ensures data is immutable. Changes can only be made by the rightful owner of the data.\n______\n### COST :\nStoring large amounts of data with blockchain based data storage services is quite expensive. And using centralized services would be risky as they are highly susceptible to breaches. \nWith Bluzelle, the challenge of expensive decentralized data storage systems is solved. By using outside resources, Bluzelle reduces it’s overhead and is then able to offer lower prices to developers.Data is stored in multiple nodes at no extra cost. The revenue generated by Bluzelle DB is then shared with the storage providers. This encourages others to become part of Bluzelle which leads to even greater global coverage. So incentivized participation on the network ensures reduced costs and effortless scalability as well.\n_____\n**Bluzelle is a real-time data storage service that will definitely revolutionize the data storage sector and provide solutions to businesses and data storage providers alike.**",
