IOTA (MIOTA) expands to the Binance Smart Chain (BSC)

Bridges between blockchains are the future. IOTA has also recognized the signs of the times and is expanding to the Binance Smart Chain.

In a blog post, the IOTA Foundation recently announced that it is now possible to use the MIOTA token on the Binance Smart Chain. So-called cross-chain liquidity has recently become more and more important. In addition to IOTA, crypto projects such as SushiSwap, Curve Finance, and many more are working on expanding to as many blockchain networks as possible. They hope that this will result in more liquidity and growth for their ecosystem.

The IOTA Foundation also hopes for more decentralization, liquidity and growth through the expansion to the BSC. The team wants to achieve these goals with the so-called Wrapped IOTA.

Asset wrapping is a process in which assets, i.e. assets from the analog world, currencies, or cryptocurrencies, are tokenized. The aim is to make the tokenized assets usable on a blockchain network. For this reason, Bitcoin, for example, is also tokenized on a large scale. By depositing ERC-20 tokens 1: 1 with Bitcoin, they can be mapped on the Ethereum network. So it is possible that Bitcoins can also be used in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications on Ethereum.

Wrapped IOTA is tokens on the BSC that are covered 1: 1 by real MIOTA. In contrast to normal MIOTA tokens, the wrapped tokens can also be used in the Binance Smart Chain ecosystem.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne
