Podcasts about loom network

For today's episode, we are live from Bangkok again discussing what it takes to build a massive userbase onchain from the ground up. Picture this: It's early days, and Axie Infinity is trying to scale on Ethereum. They experiment with Loom Network, but like many early solutions, it just can't handle their explosive growth. Rather than compromise, they take the bold step of building their own solution - Ronin. Today, that decision has paid off spectacularly. Beyond powering Axie, Ronin now supports rising stars like Pixels, boasting 1.5 million daily active users and generating millions in monthly revenue. What makes Ronin special isn't just its tech - it's the holistic ecosystem they've built. Every piece, from their wallet to their NFT marketplace to their DEX, was crafted with real user needs in mind. There's no unnecessary complexity, no features built just for hype. Everything serves a purpose, tested and refined in the crucible of actual usage. The impact has been transformative, particularly in regions often overlooked by traditional tech. In the Philippines, Vietnam, and Brazil, Ronin has become more than just a gaming platform - it's an economic engine. By breathing new life into dormant NFTs and creating genuine utility through gameplay, they've built something that delivers real value to everyday users. For developers, Ronin offers more than just infrastructure - it provides a blueprint for success. Their strategy of nurturing a core "golden cohort" of users and expanding organically has proven remarkably effective. For players, it means gaming experiences that feel natural and seamless, where the blockchain elements enhance rather than intrude. While Ronin has had its ups and downs, its clear that they are steadfast on bringing new users onchain, which were excited about.

We want to introduce you to Token Metrics, the cutting-edge crypto analytics platform we spent millions and two years of our lives creating. Now, those millions didn’t just come out of nowhere. We made it by investing in Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). In fact, we became very well known for it. But we became even more well known for giving away our entire investment strategy in a spreadsheet for free. You see, we don’t believe access to life-changing investment platforms should be restricted. We believe in changing the status quo. We are also a firm believer in the success of cryptocurrencies. That’s why we're opening up Token Metrics, our million-dollar cutting-edge crypto investing platform to the first 1,000 subscribers. But we’ll get to that in just a minute. First, we want to tell you why we dedicated so much time and money into creating this platform. So to go back to the story. Thanks to the ICO spreadsheet, we were able to find hidden gems like WaBi, ICON, Dragonchain, Power Ledger, Loom Network, PundiX, and more. ICON and WaBI made us go viral in the crypto world. Our CEO, Ian Balina's $20,000 investment in ICON turned into more than $2 million in just four months. It delivered a 100x return during the December 2017 crypto-mania. But not just that, WaBi also delivered another 100X+ return on investment, and Dragonchain delivered an 80X return on investment. Our spreadsheet helped us get three 80x or more returns in the same month, which was unheard of in the crypto world. Overnight, Ian Balina became one of the biggest names in crypto. Pretty soon, he was doing regular interviews with Forbes, CNBC, The Today Show, The Telegraph… you name it. At its peak, one million unique people were using our spreadsheet every month to make better crypto investments, which was fantastic. But the system we created wasn’t built to handle millions of users, and eventually, we had to take it down because it couldn’t scale. However, after seeing the power of that spreadsheet, we knew what we had to do next. We set about creating not just a spreadsheet but building an application that would help people make money. Over the last two years, we've poured everything we have into this project. And we’ve brought on some of the top names in investing—and more importantly –machine learning, to get it off the ground. We wanted to ensure that this is the single best crypto analytics platform available anywhere—at any price. But we also wanted to make sure it is accessible to everyone — even those on a very tight budget.

This is your daily roundup for Thursday, September 19, 2019. Bank of America joins R3’s Marco Polo network, Loom is bringing DeFi to the Tron and Binance chains, and Zap wallet is launching in-app OTC trading. ☕ Buy Me A Coffee: https://glow.fm/mota Bank of America Joins R3’s Marco Polo Bank of America has joined R3’s Corda-powered Marco Polo Network to bring efficiencies to international trade and offer better services for clients using blockchain technology. Geoff Brady, Head of Global Trade at Bank of America, stated “Joining the Marco Polo Network supports our strategic objective of turning technology advances into trade solutions that address client needs. We look forward to exploring how the new technology can generate greater transparency for our clients throughout the transaction lifecycle, making traditionally paper-based, opaque processes easier and more efficient.” This follows the footsteps of Mastercard, who recently joined R3’s Corda project earlier this month. Zap Wallet Launches in-App OTC Zap Solutions is launching a dollar-denominated bitcoin buying feature inside its lightning-friendly mobile and desktop wallet. Zap founder Jack Mallers says users can link the wallet to their debit card, go through light KYC, and then buy bitcoin, sent via lightning, that’s almost instantly spendable. Anonymous users will still be able to connect the wallet to their own remote nodes via Tor. Mallers also said that Zap is working with the payment processor BTCPay Server to eventually allow merchants to indirectly convert bitcoin payments to other currencies. Loom Brings DeFi To Tron And Binance Chains MakerDAO’s dai stablecoin will be implemented on the tron and binance chains in the near future through Loom Network, a Layer 2 scaling solution for the ethereum blockchain. Loom Network CEO and co-founder Matthew Campbell says interoperability with other chains has been a key vision for the Loom Network. Dai will first join the tron blockchain following a testing period. The token will join stablecoin tether on the tron network, which is also hosted on the bitcoin and ethereum blockchains. Loom believes the addition of dai to tron could spur the development of other DeFi protocols on that protocol. Loom says their network will operate as a Layer 1 ‘transit hub,’ shuffling funds between different protocols such as etherum, tron, or binance. Transfers between chains will be secured through multi-signature validations on the Loom Network which requires verification from three-quarters plus one of all Loom validators before transactions can be signed off. Coinbase Explores 17 Altcoins Coinbase is exploring support for 17 new digital assets, including Filecoin, Polkadot, and Telegram. It’s unlikely that Coinbase will add all 17 coins, as Coinbase only added two of the eight coins under consideration last month. One of them was dash, which was added to Coinbase Pro earlier this week following an investigative period. Square Crypto “Dream Team” Square Crypto has hired three new developers to work on open source projects. Among them is Arik Sosman, who worked on Facebook’s Calibra wallet and at BitGo, Valentine Wallace formerly of Lightning Labs, and Google software engineer Jeffrey Czyz. The team will work on Free and Open Software (FOSS) for bitcoin’s developer base.

In this episode, Jon discusses the ongoing development of blockchain strategy game CryptoWars with Experimental (aka e11.io) CEO Matias Nisenson. Development on CryptoWars started in mid-2018 and since the start of 2019, Experimental has been regularly testing various aspects of the game - from the blockchain infrastructure including Loom Network’s Layer 2 solution through to gameplay features. The game is currently expected to be live in early 2020. Topics covered include: Matias’ history prior to launching Experimental Why Experimental decided to make a strategy blockchain game Why he (still) rates Ethereum over other blockchains The strengths (and weaknesses) of using a sidechain like Loom, especially for UX Why games will be the gateway for mass adoption of blockchain Why CryptoWars’ economy is much more sophisticated than NFT sales The challenges of raising investment What’s next in terms of CryptoWars’ development Episode links Experimental website CryptoWars website Matias on Twitter Discuss with Jon on Twitter & check out Blockchain Gaming World on YouTube

Today's blockchain and cryptocurrency news Bitcoin is up .5% at $5,323 XRP is up .5% at 29 cents and Ethereum is up 1.5% at $154 Top gainers in the last 24 hours: Cortex up 15% Loom Network up 15% The non-profit organization IOTA Foundation has announced an IOTA academy. Brazilian police have made an arrest in connection with a suspected crypto money laundering scheme. According to several users on twitter, HDFC Bank of India has been sending threatening emails to account holders that bought Crypto.

In this episode Ahmed and Aniket speak to Sandeep Nailwal, COO of Matic Network. Matic Network is a Layer 2 scaling solution for decentralised blockchain networks. The hosts explore why Matic exists, how they’re implementing Layer 2 solutions and what the platform is all about. Sandeep in a nutshell explains how important it is to solve the biggest problems in the space; scalability and UX. The Challenges 1. Current blockchain networks have a big problem in scaling due to its decentralised nature and that for mass adoption current blockchain networks will not be able to service millions of users. When it comes to UX and usability of blockchain’s the biggest problems lie in the technical nature of using blockchain. The ultimate goal is that when users interact, they wouldn’t know that they are really interacting with blockchain networks. From a developer standpoint, they are also providing easy tools for developers to develop applications on top of Matic which would allow scalability for Dapps and ultimately lower fees as well. Layer 1 and Layer 2 Sandeep goes into the differences between Layer 1 and Layer 2 in blockchain networks and how they behave respectively. Sandeep explains that Layer 1 is all about economic considerations where there is a trade-off between security and scalability which is commonly seen in networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The higher the security the lower the scalability and thus inherently slow. Ahmed quotes Vitalik’s Scalability trilemma where if you had scalabilty, decentralisation and security, you can only choose two of these three. Most, if not all Layer 1 blockchain networks, they choose decentralisation and security. In Layer 2, since you have Layer 1 to rely on which is security and decentralisation, then through cryptographic mechanisms you can get the same features on layer 2 as well as adding the scalability in layer 2 which is not included in layer 1. Make sure to listen to the episode to hear how Matic network is building out this innovative Layer 2 solution they are creating. Difference between Matic and others Matic’s solution is highly inspired by the Plasma implementation that was put forward by Vitalik Buterin and Joseph Poon. Plasma is one of the first layer 2 frameworks out there in the market. Here Sandeep explains how they are implementing layer 2 differently from Plasma, briefly explaining how they are implementing an account-based system rather than the UTXO system which is used by Plasma. Make sure to tune in to find out more! Sandeep explains how Matic is different from competitors such as Loom Network and Skale. He also goes into how they are improving developer experience since Matic is built on Ethereum, Ethereum developers are automatically Matic developers and thus it is easy to migrate to the layer 2 Matic is providing. Crypto in India Aniket who has been researching the Indian blockchain space is curious to see how Matic are operating in India given they are an Indian team. Sandeep explains the structure of Matic and where they are based and states that their research team is based in India. He also goes to talk about the current regulatory landscape of crypto in India and believes that India will not ban crypto. The Matic token and tokenomics Ahmed asks about the token mechanism of Matic network and Sandeep answers that their token is a network token which is used to keep the network secure and to have the token in order to use the Matic network. Therefore, like most blockchain’s such as Bitocin and Ethereum and other protocol layers a native token is used for transaction fees. Additionally, Matic is a proof of stake system which requires a token to govern and secure the network thus a native asset is necessary to secure and incentivise network participants to keep honest, like how most blockchains currently are. Thus, the token has two utilities: used for transaction fee and used for staking. Is Matic doing an ICO? Sandeep explains that they are looking to do an ICO and shares his plans on doing a large public sale on the back of recently completing a small private sale. They have an amazing announcement soon so do make sure to keep your eyes peeled. We hope you enjoy!!!

Siacoin only had to pay 225k CEO of Beaxy Exchange disappears, looks like they're insolvent. (Crypto Exchanges Creating a Token Rating System) Coinbase Blog - "Introducing the Crypto Rating Council" Create system that rates tokens on how close they are to a security "Although the U.S SEC has issued helpful guidance... Analysis requires fact-intensive analysis by knowledgeable experts Analysis is difficult, expensive, and will lead to judgement calls & disagreements So Coinbase brought together industry leaders, securities law experts to create "a scalable, points-based rating system centered around a set of several dozen, yes / no factual questions." Question derived directly from SEC guidance and case law They say they focused on "objective, repeatable, fact-driven questions" Council Members Anchorage Part of the Libra association Basically a crypto vault were transactions are validated by Quorum No usernames/passwords/phonenumbers nothing a hacker could use or get "clients whitelist devices held by their employees, who use the Anchorage app to submit transactions. You’d propose selling $10 million worth of Bitcoin or transferring it to someone else as payment, and a minimum of two-thirds of your designated co-workers would need to concur to form a quorum that approves the transfer."

Apparently FB been asking them to help and show support, and they are declining "Their reluctance has Facebook scrambling to keep Libra on track." Prior August reporting said Libra partners were wary that pushing Libra would "attract broader regulatory scrutiny of their activities" Lo and behold, DOJ requested Visa, Mastercard, Stripe & PayPal to provide a "complete overview of their money-laundering compliance programs and how Libra will fit into them.” Here's the rub None of the 28 association members have committed beyond nonbinding letters The $10 million that FB asked for each member for development? No one has paid it Multiple flanks FB facing heat from DOJ opening an antitrust investgation. Also the FTC and multiple states, like multiple Led by NY AG, but Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nebraska, NC, Ohio, Tennessee, and DC involved Federal investigation getting cooperation from Snapchat Legal team for years kept a dossier of "ways that the company felt FB was trying to thwart competition" The tile of the documents....Project Voldemort Allege things like Instagram effectively barred users from linking to their Snapchat profiles in their bios.

Well shit I might as well let them tell you word for word - Blockchain + gambling, blockchain + game, establish industry standard interface, 70% income anti-subsidy investor players. So this is being listed as a $150M Ponzi Scheme. Posted about on medium by Philippe Castonguay First red flag - the team consisted of a famous piano player (Dang Thai Son) and an instagram influencer's (Jessica Vu) pictures. Dude found typos and bugs all over the contract. He also found that the contract had been drained for 2600 ETH once on 7/27 with an old exploit. He then finds an exploit where you can essentially swap out an invite code and steal ETH from depositors to the contract. They got a group together to decide what to do and exposed the scam last week. And of course as soon as they announced the problem, team drained the accounts.
