Elrond makes it into the top 10 DeFi projects according to TVL



Elrond ( EGLD ) is a Layer 1 platform for smart contracts that uses Web Assembly (WASM) browser application technology. Now the coin has risen to the top 10 of the ranking according to the total value of the locked tokens (Total Value Locked - TVL). It only took a week, reports CoinDesk. Data from DeFi Llama shows that Elrond is now the 10th largest DeFI ecosystem, with a TVL of $ 2.06 billion.

Elrond had been slow to attract developers, even though it went live on the mainnet in July 2020. Now, however, the coin is rising rapidly, driven by the huge liquidity mining program of the decentralized crypto exchange Maiar. The sudden growth of the chain could be a sign of the continuing importance of the so-called "liquidity locusts" (such as liquidity locusts). These are traders and investors who quickly switch from project to project due to the incentives offered.

Many projects rely on massive incentive programs

More and more blockchains are trying to buy into relevance with attractive but ridiculously large incentive programs. One of them is Maiar. The platform recently announced a liquidity mining program valued at $ 1.29 billion. It is reportedly slated to pay out $ 282 million as early as the first month.

The rewards are paid out in MEX, Maiar's governance token. The price of the coin has increased to $ 0.001345 since the program started. The program is currently valued at $ 7.32 billion in incentives. An impressive 5.44 trillion MEX tokens are to be distributed over a period of 12 months. So it would probably be the largest liquidity mining program in DeFi's history, assuming price stability.

Elrond Network CEO Beniamin Mincu said in an interview with CoinDesk:

With 60,000 users MEX had prior to launch based on their EGLD holdings, Maiar DEX had an impressive number of users on the first day and continues to grow.

Elrond has a lot of competition in the DeFi industry

Elrond is behind Arbitrum in the TVL ranking - a project that aims to solve problems with the scaling of Ethereum. Arbitrum is valued at $ 2.35 billion TVL. Behind Elrond is Waves with $ 1.5 billion. The Ethereum mainnet itself is at the top with 171.9 billion US dollars and thus claims more than half of the total value of all DeFi projects (260 billion US dollars).

To stand out from the crowd, projects are increasingly turning to massive incentive programs as the competition between Layer 1 platforms for money and users becomes fiercer. Harmony, Avalanche , Fantom, and Oasis all took the same approach, but not to the same extent as Maiar and Elrond.

Mincu added that Elrond currently has working cross-chain bridges to Binance Smart Chain , Ethereum, Polygon, Tron, Fantom, and Avalanche. In the coming months, there should be further partnerships within the DeFi industry.

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,...
