UPDATE: IOTA VOTING AND HOPE FOR SHIMMER

 ​


The development of Shimmer

According to the IOTA roadmap, the previously set building blocks could..

End of the first staking phase with Shimmer and Assembly

Start of the second staking phase with pure assembly

Internal Shimmer Beta testing phase

As well as the Treasury Community vote

..all to be completed. The next major milestone would now be the Shimmer Public Beta, followed by the Shimmer Network Launch involving the Stardust upgrade . In my estimation, this could also be completed within the next 40 days (end of the second staking phase with assembly).


Many are therefore currently asking the question why this update is so important for IOTA. In all technical brevity, this is due to the following points:


Stardust turns IOTA into a multi-asset ledger (everyone can self-mint their own tokens or NFT's)

In addition, a bridge is built from IOTA to the upper layer (usually called Layer 2 or Layer 3) with smart contract networks

The IOTA Foundation states the current status:


Stardust is currently being tested internally and the associated software is being prepared, including Hornet nodes, the IOTA Smart Contract nodes, client and wallet libraries, the Firefly wallet and additional tools. Once preliminary versions are ready, Stardust will be deployed in the form of a public testnet, followed by release as a Shimmer network.


The result of the vote

In the meantime, the 10 days of voting and thus the counting of votes are already history and the results speak a clear language.


According to recent results, as expected, 83% voted for the Build option and only 13% chose the Burn option. It is also positive to mention that the complete coordination went smoothly from a technical point of view.


What does that mean for the roughly 50 Ti?

The unclaimed tokens will be used to support and fund projects and initiatives important to the IOTA community ecosystem going forward. The funds are fully managed by the IOTA Foundation. The IOTA Foundation would like to report in more detail shortly on which these are exactly.

​The current course situation

Let's not fool ourselves, there are currently no impulses from large investors to be able to push the IOTA course back in the right direction in the short term. However, an impulse could come before the Coordicide (network decentralization) upgrade, which is mentioned again and again and never tires of getting tired. As soon as the next milestone with the mentioned development of Shimmer occurs, larger price jumps up could be possible again.


The IOTA rate is currently just around USD 0.25, which in my view is potentially a very cheap price entry, but it does not have to be the bottom by a long shot. The dependence on Bitcoin is clearly noticeable. Never at a more opportune time than right now could the Stardust-based upgrade give IOTA new wings in their Shimmer network and new hope in the cloudy crypto summer of 22.

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,...
