Elrond launches Maiar DEX - $ 1 billion for liquidity providers

 


The DeFi area is growing rapidly and we see how more and more optimizing projects create additional facets of DeFi . Decentralized exchanges in particular are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to centralized platforms. After Cardano had already  announced the start of its own DEX , Elrond is now also launching a DEX - the Maiar DEX.


Elrond is a blockchain protocol that is said to offer extremely fast transaction speeds through the use of sharding. On the website we read:


"A highly scalable, fast and secure blockchain platform for distributed applications, corporate applications and the new internet economy."


According to its own information, the Elrond Blockchain should carry out around 15,000 transactions with a latency of 6 seconds per second . The cost per transaction is $ 0.001. In comparison , the current Ethereum network processes 3,000 transactions per second (TPS), while Visa processes 15,000 TPS. As soon as Ethereum upgrades to ETH 2.0, the network should even be able to process 100,000 TPS.


The Elrond Mainnet went live in July 2020 and was founded at the end of 2017 by the brothers Beniamin and Lucian Mincu together with Lucian Todea as a solution to the problem of blockchain scalability . In order to expand the Elrond ecosystem, the team has now started Elrond's own DeFi platform Maiar DEX. In this context, Elrond is making available around US $ 1 billion for a " Liquidity Incentive Program ".


Elrond startet Maiar DEX

In a press release that BeInCrypto has, Beniamin Mincu, CEO of Elrond Network explains :


"By distributing the Maiar DEX ownership to the next billion users, we are laying the foundation for a truly global financial system that is accessible to everyone, anywhere."


Elrond will provide the funds in MEX, the Maiar DEX Utility and Governance Token. MEX tokens worth 1.29 billion US dollars are to be distributed to Maiar DEX users, provided they provide liquidity in EGLD, MEX and USDC tokens. In the first month alone, $ 282 million will go to Maiar DEX users.


But why is that important? A basic problem of decentralized exchanges is the lack of liquidity , which often makes trading difficult. DEX users usually provide cryptocurrencies for liquidity pools, thus enabling trading on the DEX and receiving pro-rata transaction fees. To keep a DEX competitive in the long term, the size of the liquidity pools is crucial.


eGold / EGLD course reacts positively

According to the company, Maiar DEX's smart contracts - smart contracts form the basis for decentralized crypto exchanges - have been tested for their performance under various conditions. In addition to the desktop version of DEX, there will also be a corresponding app.



The EGLD course reacted extremely positively to the announcement by the Elrond team. The EGLD price rose to a new all-time high of 369 US dollars. Although the Elrond price could not hold the high and is now around the $ 350 mark, the bullish news and general market sentiment led to the formation of the new all-time high.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
