Generate Your hApp’s Source Code in Seconds

Holochain Dev Pulse 74SummaryHolochain’s new rapid application development (RAD) tool has landed in the newest blessed release of Holonix, the Holochain developer environment. It saves your fingers by generating a lot of the boring boilerplate for you — not just DNA code itself, but front-end code too! In this edition I’ll give an overview of the tool, walk you through a quick tutorial, then share what’s next and why we’re building this.HighlightsGenerate your hApp’s source code in seconds with `hc-happ-scaffold`Holonix v0.0.79 released and blessedGood news for macOS Catalina and Windows 10 developers: installing the dev tools just got easierGenerate your hApp’s source code in seconds with `hc-happ-scaffold`As promised, our developers have created the second iteration of our rapid application development (RAD) tool. The first iteration was a proof of concept that built a fully functioning note-taking hApp for you to play with and explore. As a next step, this new tool gets you running with a hApp of your own design.The `hc-happ-scaffold` tool takes a file in which you’ve described the types of data your hApp ought to produce and how they can be manipulated or accessed. From that file it generates a DNA (the ‘Holochainy’ part of your hApp, the source code that defines the ‘rules of the game’) and a sample UI that lets people create, retrieve, edit, and delete that data.It’s super handy to have your DNA autogenerated for you, of course — nobody likes writing boilerplate code, and entry type definitions in a DNA tend to have a lot of boilerplate. But I found the autogenerated UI to be equally exciting — it meant that I could start playing with my DNA in mere minutes, without typing in arcane terminal commands.The UI is basic, but it’s useful. In a conversation with Lisa Jetton, co-creator of this tool, I said, “oh, it’s kind of like Swagger UI (an API documentation and live testing tool), but for Holochain?” and she said, “yes, exactly!” If you’ve used an HTTP API with a Swagger UI, you know that it’s a great way of getting familiar with that API, because you can make calls against a running instance and see how they behave. A zome’s public functions are its API, so this UI does roughly the same thing. It hides some of the details behind a CRUD forms interface, but gives you the same immediacy you’re used to with Swagger.Tutorial: Get your hApp up and running in a few minutesMake sure you’ve installed Holonix, the Holochain development environment, first.Enter the Holochain development environment:nix-shell https://holochain.love2. Go to a folder where you’d like to create the hApp (create one if you haven’t already):cd ~/my-holochain-projects3. Create a ‘type spec’ file — a human-readable file that describes all your entry types. You can read about the format and find a sample type spec here.4. Point the scaffolding tool at your type spec file and get it to generate your new hApp.hc-happ-scaffold my-type-spec.json my-new-happ/5. Go into the new directory and run your hApp. It’ll start the conductor (Holochain runtime) with a development instance of your DNA, the sim2h switchboard server, a web server to serve your UI assets, and a web browser window containing your UI.cd my-new-happnpm startWhat’s under the hood?This scaffolding tool creates everything your app needs to get started:DNA source code written in RustBasic integration tests written in JavaScriptA basic form-based UI built with React and Apollo GraphQLScripting to start the entire app stack (conductor, sim2h server, and UI server)The zomes in the DNA are fairly straightforward — just structs and entry type definitions for your data types, plus zome functions to create, read, update, delete, and list entries of each type. (Any of these functions are optional for a given entry type; you can specify which ones you do want.) The built-in validation function specifies that only an entry’s author can edit or delete it.We chose to build the UI with React because it is such a popular framework; it’s likely that developers new to Holochain will already have experience with it. Apollo GraphQL, on the other hand, is emerging as a favourite among both the community and our own hAppy Team because it’s an easy-to-use abstraction that lets you swap out back-end implementations easily. If you’re already using Apollo or GraphQL in your UI, you can look at the generated source code for examples of how we use them.What’s next?In the coming months, we plan to include more features:Links and anchors, which will allow you to take full advantage of the DHT as a graph database.More advanced validation rules, such as configurable edit/delete permissions.Ability to generate multi-zome hApps (currently you can only generate multi-zome DNAs, and only if you download the tool directly from the repo).Ability to generate UI and DNA separately (again, you can currently only do this if you download the tool directly from the repo).Why are we doing this?As I’ve written before, we’ve always wanted to make it easier for people to build Holochain apps. This isn’t just good for business; it’s part of our guiding vision. We intend to give groups of people the power to conduct their online lives their way, free of third-party control. Holochain and plug-and-play HoloPorts already have the potential to do that by making it easy for people to self-host the apps they use. This means that no group that wants to take charge of their online tools has to learn how to set up, maintain, and protect a web server, with all the complications that go along with that.But it’s only half of the picture. The other half is knowing what your app is doing and being able to modify it to your own ends. The open-source movement has helped immensely; now you can choose from a huge marketplace of apps whose code can be audited or modified. The Holochain dev community is following suit. And that’s great — if you’re a programmer.We don’t want to stop there. People aren’t fully empowered by the software they use until they can write ‘rules of the game’ that are appropriate to their context, share them with others, and let them evolve. It should be easy to create apps that embody your group’s needs and norms. We realise this is a big journey through mostly uncharted land, full of excursions, setbacks, and surprises. And it’s going to take the collective effort of programmers, researchers, UX designers, and users beyond the sphere of our little project. But we think it’s necessary if we want to see a world where people’s agency is preserved by “genuinely consent-driven technology”, in the words of one hApp developer.I’ll be honest: in order to take full advantage of this RAD tool, you’ll probably still need to be a programmer. But it creates a starting point so you can start building your custom logic sooner. And if you’re new to Holochain development, it demonstrates useful idioms in the context of a working app. And it’s one more step in the journey towards end-user empowerment.Holonix v0.0.79 released and blessedThis release contains the new RAD tool, so you can start using it without fuss. Everything else, including the Holochain version, is the same as Holonix v0.0.75.Just a reminder that there are known issues with the included conductor, v0.0.49. We expect to release a new version soon with fixes. These issues shouldn’t affect hApps built with the scaffolding tool, as they are related to features that it doesn’t use.Good news for macOS Catalina and Windows 10 developers: installing the dev tools just got easierThere are two developments in the land of operating systems that have happened to land within weeks of each other, making it much easier for macOS and Windows developers to start using Holochain.macOS 10.15 (Catalina)The developers of the Nix package manager, which we use to build our Holonix developer’s environment, have fixed a long-standing installation issue on macOS Catalina. As you may know, Catalina introduced a read-only system volume to protect your OS from unauthorised tampering. This broke Nix, which stores its files in that volume. With this fix, you don’t need any clever workarounds; just install Nix using the following command:sh <(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install) --darwin-use-unencrypted-nix-store-volumeThen proceed with the installation of Holonix as normal.Windows 10The May 2020 update of Windows 10 finally includes Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2). This new version of WSL is quite different; it runs a full Linux kernel in a VM and is apparently much faster and more compatible with various Linux tools — including Nix. Once you install this update, you should be able to use Holonix seamlessly without installing VirtualBox and Vagrant. (Which is welcome news if you’ve had trouble accessing the conductor from a web browser.) The Holonix installation guide for Windows will take you through the simplified procedure.Development statusLatestHolochain Core: 0.0.49-alpha1 (blessed) | ChangelogHolonix: 0.0.79 (blessed) | ChangelogTryorama: 0.3.4 (blessed)hc-happ-scaffold: 0.1.0 (blessed) | ProjectHoloscape: 0.0.9-alpha (contains Holochain Core 0.0.47-alpha1) | DownloadBlessed (available via https://holochain.love)Holonix: 0.0.79Holochain Core: 0.0.49-alpha1hc-happ-scaffold: 0.1.0Generate Your hApp’s Source Code in Seconds was originally published in Holochain on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

AMA Recap: Ontology’s MainNet 2nd Anniversary

To celebrate Ontology’s MainNet 2-year anniversary, Ontology’s Founder Li Jun was live in Ontology English Telegram to share insights and updated about Ontology 2.0.Check the chat message history of AMA here.Section 1: Top 10 pre-selected questionsQ1. With the new government and stacking changes, can we expect a Binance candidate/consensus node? (Jonatan)In the past few months, we have actively interacted with Binance and Binance US in multiple ONT trading campaigns and community AMAs and deepened our cooperation relations. Binance has been paying great attention to the refinement of our governance and economic model and digging into our announcements and related tutorials. It is currently considering becoming a node on the Ontology blockchain. We will keep our community updated if we hear more progress on this.Q2. At present, all new public blockchains are facing the plight of lack of large-scale applications. Is there any plan for ontology 2.0 in terms of large-scale applications? (Jaylin)We have seen many popular blockchain applications are still limited to gambling and gaming, but not really large-scale real-life applications, nor any killer app. Ontology believes that these applications will not be beneficial to the long-term healthy development of the blockchain industry. Since the second half of 2019, we have been actively involved in talks with partners in the automobile industry and entertainment industry to seek application scenarios of blockchain technology in segmented industries and have already been making some progress.Any large scale application cannot be separated from the support of the underlying technology. In 2020, Ontology has completed various technology upgrades, with key milestones including:10/2019 Ontology Multi-VM launched01/2020 ONTFS released02/2020 Blockchain SaaS Framework (add-on store) alpha released04/2020 Ontology Wasm-JIT released05/2020 Ontology Layer 2 released06/2020 ONT ID 2.0 upgraded06/2020 New version of ONTO released06/2020 Ontology DDXF 2.0 released06/2020 Ontology 2.0 launchedMeanwhile, our new decentralized data marketplace — SAGA and new upgraded data wallet — ONTO, both released this year, will enable users to actually experience blockchain technology for personal digital identity and data exchange.Q3. In your opinion, which of your tools and solutions will be most popular among businesses and regular users in the next few years? (@iluhanakamoto)We have been talking about decentralization and data collaboration etc. Actually, an important element about decentralization is to integrate every individual into the decentralized ecosystem and make them own their own data, equity, and assets.Although you may think you own your data on social networks like Facebook or Twitter, you do not have the tools or systems owned by big social companies to own your own data. This is exactly what our self-sovereign data wallet ONTO has been focusing on achieving, which is to return the data back to users themselves. I would say ONTO is one of the most comprehensive wallets in all types of data wallets.In addition, SAGA, the decentralized marketplace powered by Ontology is another new attempt we have made in the data field.When it comes to real business scenarios, we have been in talks with leading automobile manufacturers for a long while and will focus on applications in the automobile industry in the next phase. In the meantime, we have accumulated relatively complete solutions in data attestation, data market, digital payment and etc. You can find more information on our newly released official website, ont.io.Q4. What are the new requirements to become a node? (@CryptoPelmen)After the Ontology governance model refinement, the minimum requirements for consensus nodes will be 1,500,000 ONT, whilst the minimum requirements for candidate nodes has been lowered from 100,000 ONT to 10,000 ONT. Applicants can simply apply to become a node on OWallet, no KYC will be required.In the meantime, we will open a Telegram announcement channel exclusively for Ontology nodes to receive the latest information.You can find our simplified process in the below graph:More details can be found here.Q5. Users often care less about technology, but rather the value of the token. How do you manage to strike a balance between developing the technology and also improving the value of $Ontology? (@putu45)Since Ontology was founded, we have always insisted on long-term value investments, and choose to build the first community via airdropping our token to the community instead of ICO to raise funds quickly. We have always focused our attention on digital identity, and have always believed that the correct path for the project is to lay a solid tech foundation first and then gradually promote the applications. With more transactions on the blockchain, higher TPS, higher liquidity, more application scenarios, the true value of the token shall be seen. We give the community the right to choose whether to invest.Q6. As Defi’s blockchain. Do Ontology 2.0 think there are major problems with enterprise-level customer adoption? Because in some ways- “blockchain” and “utility” are two completely different issues (@luckydraw66)Ontology focuses not just on DeFi. In our past 2-year journey, we have summarized experiences on enterprise-level applications, especially solutions for the automobile industry, data attestation, data marketplace, and digital payments. You can find more information on our newly launched official website — ont.io.The blockchain technology is still under improvement and it may take some time to see large scale applications. However, it doesn’t mean we are not making progress, we are currently undergoing a series of technical innovations and improvements, for instance, ONT ID, DDXF, WASM-JIT, Multi-VM, Add-On Store and etc. Our Data Wallet ONTO and Data Market Saga have also provided great application scenarios for users to experience blockchain technology.It takes time for great things to happen, and we will continue to put more effort into improving the underlying technology to facilitate enterprise-level adoption which is also one of our focus areas.Q7. The price of 1 transaction on the Network is 0.01 ONG. But, why is one transaction pushed to 0.03 ONG? (@timap97)By design, the gas fees shall cover the costs of operating a node and bring profits to the Triones nodes. There needs to be a certain balance between TPS and the gas fee per transaction. In order to achieve a healthier governance model and more sustainable development, we will raise the transaction fee from 0.01 ONG to 0.05 ONG.Ontology will launch common knowledge graph crowdsourcing services and attestation services such as OpenKG and OGQ on the Ontology blockchain shortly. We expect the average number of transactions on the blockchain to increase significantly.You can find more info here.Q8. With Ontology 2.0, How is it different from the earlier versions of Ontology? What do you think will be the impact of Ontology 2.0 in the current market and how can Ontology 2.0 surpass its competitors. (@S1d3Phil)Ontology 2.0 is designed to support robust cross-chain collaboration and Layer 2 scalability, offering businesses the flexibility to design a blockchain that suits their needs. It was made with both enterprises and developers in mind. We have included several key new features such as WASM-JIT, Multi-VM, Layer 2, and ONT ID 2.0.Ontology has the fastest Wasm-JIT implementation, with execution speeds reaching more than twice that of EOS Wasm. Ontology’s Multi-VM is the first to support seamless contract interactions among different environments, with Ontology Layer 2 contributing to a more comprehensive public chain platform. This way, developers have more choices to develop with the languages and tools they are familiar with, thereby reducing the learning curve and greatly improving development efficiency.Ont 2.0 is a significant improvement to ONT ID 1.0. It fully complies with the definitions and requirements in the W3C draft standard DID v1.0, and has a higher degree of completeness in implementation.The new ONTO, Ontology’s self-sovereign data wallet gives users the power to control the value of their data.And SAGA, a decentralized digital marketplace, monetizes and acquires data in a trusted, standardized and cost-effective way. We are quite confident to make more progress in the field of distributed data and empower the growing data-driven economy by connecting data that would otherwise remain fragmented.Q9. What solutions has ontology developed to solve the problem of monopolizing the management of data from closed programming codes and centralized storage? (@Aguacate30)ONT ID is a decentralized identity framework following the W3C DID Standard, using blockchain and cryptographic technology that can quickly identify and connect identities and enterprise assets. It is decentralized, self-sovereign, safe, and easy to use, enabling users to fully control their own data and identities. As the latest updated version of ONT ID, ONT ID 2.0 is implemented through native smart contracts on the Ontology public chain.By using ONT ID, any entity can take full control of their own identities and data, and authorize applications or other individuals to access their own data as required.Here is a brief summary of several notable features of ONT ID 2.0:Compliance with W3C Definitions and StandardsONT ID 2.0 Authentication and ControlCustom Recovery MechanismCustom Attribute SettingThe protocol and the procedure of ONT ID verifiable credentials are designed based on W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model 1.0 Standard. ONT ID verifiable credentials support various types of credentials including normal credentials and selective disclosure credentials, with the latter enabling users to selectively disclose the information in different scenarios. Additionally, on the basis of ONT ID, Ontology has designed and implemented a distributed data exchange protocol that is compatible with DID, which makes distributed data exchange possible.DDXF is another solution we provide. Based on DDXF, the ownership of resources can be confirmed and circulated on the chain. Users can exchange their resources for ONG and other OEP-4 assets or for other resources. DDXF supports digital and physical resources and allows various forms of resource circulation, which includes the circulation of its ownership, right to use, etc. For off-chain resources, DDXF enables users to transact off the chain with a smart contract, so as to meet the need for compliance and security and consistency.Q10. Could you please explain what will be the main difference between ONTO 1.0 and ONTO 2.0 and how it will positively efect to the ONTO users? Thank you ☺️☺️(@Asa332)ONTO, Ontology’s self-sovereign data wallet, is a one-stop mobile application for the management of your digital identity, data, and assets, giving users the power to control the value of their data.This month, Ontology launched a new version of ONTO, including new features to enhance data management, including:Fast transfer of assets through ONT IDMaking it easier to find other users and transfer assetsONTO Claims: Own your data through verifiable claims and digital certificationsSection 2: Top 10 selected LIVE questionsQ1. For dApp developer, how does Ontology could be better than any other existing platform like ETH 2.0, EOS, TRON, and Stellar? Why should a developer choose Ontology over them? (@Monica_012)Ontology can provide a more comprehensive infrastructure for dApp, besides blockchain, also including high-level protocols like ONT ID and DDXF and more. These can help dApp developers develop applications for real business scenarios, to avoid too much basic module development on the blockchain and so that they can focus on more on the business logic.Q2. Is this the final complete version of Ontology? Will we have any major changes in the future? It is believed that most projects will not be able to exist in the long run. That may be true. What lessons have you learned from your experience or when evaluating other projects in this industry? ( @sontilatui)As for Ontology, there will never be a final complete version, we will keep improving our technology. Blockchain infrastructure, decentralized identity, and decentralized data are our main focuses. We will bring new developments in these areas every quarter and share the development progress with our community.Q3. How do you plan to spread awareness about your project in different countries where English is not spoken well? Do you have local communities for them to let them better understand about your project? (@Harsha_prabath1)Thank you for your question. With the help and support from our global community, we now have 29 different language communities, where community members who are native speakers of those languages help us promote Ontology in their regions and areas. We have been receiving many messages from various community members who speak multiple languages to help us further expand our global community. You can find out more about it here.Q4. How was DDXF created and what role does it play for decentralized data exchange? How does DDXF verify data, ensure data traceability, and cross-system data processing? (@awesomedivya)DDXF is not only for decentralized data exchange but also can integrate with Ontology blockchain to perform life cycle management, tracing important timeline and participants of data, which will on one hand improve the data transaction and on the other hand increase the level of trust in data.Q5. One fascinating feature of ONT ID is that ONT ID-Ontology uses the Ontology Identifier (ONT ID). Can you elaborate and how to get and access it. How is it different from other security protocols (such as DIGI-ID, 2FA, etc.) (@Bitcoin_User24)ONT ID allows you to self manage in a secured and private environment. With the support of blockchain, it can further enhance the credibility and reliability of trust sources. Comparing to other DID, ONT ID is managed and registered on a public blockchain, which allows it to balance privacy and data trust.Q6. Can you imagine using ONT for things like small business/individual client-sized real estate and proof of ownership (which may eventually replace the need for a notary or intermediary)? What are the obstacles to achieving this goal? (@Lanre_Akorede)Thank you for your question. We can use a decentralized way to flexibly build services for notary related processes required in real estate business, and with exchange protocols and smart contract settlement protocol, we can replace the middleman in many different scenarios and build a more automatic and more decentralized infrastructure.Q7. Staking is currently a Popular topic in Crypto Industry & its helpful to Many projects to encourage investors to hold tokens and make it healthful for the project ecosystem. Can you please tell me about the computer requirement for MINING of Ontology? (@Sumit_Love)Thank you for the question. You can choose to stake on any Ontology nodes to earn ONG incentive via OWallet and ONTO. If you have enough ONT, you can also apply to operate a node, in that case, your rewards will increase significantly. You can check for more details on our Medium or visit node.ont.io. For node application, please refer to my previous answers to the fourth pre-selected question.Q8. What makes you most proud of Ontology 2.0? (@hambiew)Ontology 2.0 symbolizes a more stable and faster infrastructure, with the fastest blockchain Wasm smart contract VM, a more comprehensive DID, and decentralized data exchange protocol, which enables Ontology to provide higher standard services and tech support for various industries business scenarios. It is a great milestone for us and I am very happy to celebrate this important day with all of you.Q9. Will it also be possible to send ONT to phone contacts who have Ontology wallet without knowing their wallet address? Maybe you can add a new feature in ontology 2.0 😊 (@Gagah146)The new ONTO allows you to send ONT and other digital assets to your phone or email contacts. You can also manage your contacts on ONTO.Q10. What is your long-term vision about the industry which Ontology is working at? Can you describe why we should use Ontology instead of others? Which types of advantages users perceive in your platform? (@Dhanu006)Ontology will focus on decentralized data and identity. We will provide blockchain infrastructure, protocols, tools like mobile applications, markets like SAGA, and more other infrastructure services and products, to build the most comprehensive decentralized data and identity service platform.Find Ontology elsewhereOntology website / ONTO website / OWallet (GitHub)Twitter / Reddit / Facebook / LinkedIn / YouTube / NaverBlog / ForklogTelegram Announcement / Telegram English / GitHub / DiscordAMA Recap: Ontology’s MainNet 2nd Anniversary was originally published in OntologyNetwork on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

As the latest updated version of ONT ID, ONT ID 2.0 is implemented through native smart contracts on the Ontology public chain.By using ONT ID, any entity can take full control of their own identities and data, and authorize applications or other individuals to access their own data as required.Here is a brief summary of several notable features of ONT ID 2.0:Compliance with W3C Definitions and StandardsONT ID 2.0 Authentication and ControlCustom Recovery MechanismCustom Attribute SettingThe protocol and the procedure of ONT ID verifiable credentials are designed based on W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model 1.0 Standard. ONT ID verifiable credentials support various types of credentials including normal credentials and selective disclosure credentials, with the latter enabling users to selectively disclose the information in different scenarios. Additionally, on the basis of ONT ID, Ontology has designed and implemented a distributed data exchange protocol that is compatible with DID, which makes distributed data exchange possible.DDXF is another solution we provide. Based on DDXF, the ownership of resources can be confirmed and circulated on the chain. Users can exchange their resources for ONG and other OEP-4 assets or for other resources. DDXF supports digital and physical resources and allows various forms of resource circulation, which includes the circulation of its ownership, right to use, etc. For off-chain resources, DDXF enables users to transact off the chain with a smart contract, so as to meet the need for compliance and security and consistency.Q10. Could you please explain what will be the main difference between ONTO 1.0 and ONTO 2.0 and how it will positively efect to the ONTO users? Thank you ☺️☺️(@Asa332)ONTO, Ontology’s self-sovereign data wallet, is a one-stop mobile application for the management of your digital identity, data, and assets, giving users the power to control the value of their data.This month, Ontology launched a new version of ONTO, including new features to enhance data management, including:Fast transfer of assets through ONT IDMaking it easier to find other users and transfer assetsONTO Claims: Own your data through verifiable claims and digital certificationsSection 2: Top 10 selected LIVE questionsQ1. For dApp developer, how does Ontology could be better than any other existing platform like ETH 2.0, EOS, TRON, and Stellar? Why should a developer choose Ontology over them? (@Monica_012)Ontology can provide a more comprehensive infrastructure for dApp, besides blockchain, also including high-level protocols like ONT ID and DDXF and more. These can help dApp developers develop applications for real business scenarios, to avoid too much basic module development on the blockchain and so that they can focus on more on the business logic.Q2. Is this the final complete version of Ontology? Will we have any major changes in the future? It is believed that most projects will not be able to exist in the long run. That may be true. What lessons have you learned from your experience or when evaluating other projects in this industry? ( @sontilatui)As for Ontology, there will never be a final complete version, we will keep improving our technology. Blockchain infrastructure, decentralized identity, and decentralized data are our main focuses. We will bring new developments in these areas every quarter and share the development progress with our community.Q3. How do you plan to spread awareness about your project in different countries where English is not spoken well? Do you have local communities for them to let them better understand about your project? (@Harsha_prabath1)Thank you for your question. With the help and support from our global community, we now have 29 different language communities, where community members who are native speakers of those languages help us promote Ontology in their regions and areas. We have been receiving many messages from various community members who speak multiple languages to help us further expand our global community. You can find out more about it here.Q4. How was DDXF created and what role does it play for decentralized data exchange? How does DDXF verify data, ensure data traceability, and cross-system data processing? (@awesomedivya)DDXF is not only for decentralized data exchange but also can integrate with Ontology blockchain to perform life cycle management, tracing important timeline and participants of data, which will on one hand improve the data transaction and on the other hand increase the level of trust in data.Q5. One fascinating feature of ONT ID is that ONT ID-Ontology uses the Ontology Identifier (ONT ID). Can you elaborate and how to get and access it. How is it different from other security protocols (such as DIGI-ID, 2FA, etc.) (@Bitcoin_User24)ONT ID allows you to self manage in a secured and private environment. With the support of blockchain, it can further enhance the credibility and reliability of trust sources. Comparing to other DID, ONT ID is managed and registered on a public blockchain, which allows it to balance privacy and data trust.Q6. Can you imagine using ONT for things like small business/individual client-sized real estate and proof of ownership (which may eventually replace the need for a notary or intermediary)? What are the obstacles to achieving this goal? (@Lanre_Akorede)Thank you for your question. We can use a decentralized way to flexibly build services for notary related processes required in real estate business, and with exchange protocols and smart contract settlement protocol, we can replace the middleman in many different scenarios and build a more automatic and more decentralized infrastructure.Q7. Staking is currently a Popular topic in Crypto Industry & its helpful to Many projects to encourage investors to hold tokens and make it healthful for the project ecosystem. Can you please tell me about the computer requirement for MINING of Ontology? (@Sumit_Love)Thank you for the question. You can choose to stake on any Ontology nodes to earn ONG incentive via OWallet and ONTO. If you have enough ONT, you can also apply to operate a node, in that case, your rewards will increase significantly. You can check for more details on our Medium or visit node.ont.io. For node application, please refer to my previous answers to the fourth pre-selected question.Q8. What makes you most proud of Ontology 2.0? (@hambiew)Ontology 2.0 symbolizes a more stable and faster infrastructure, with the fastest blockchain Wasm smart contract VM, a more comprehensive DID, and decentralized data exchange protocol, which enables Ontology to provide higher standard services and tech support for various industries business scenarios. It is a great milestone for us and I am very happy to celebrate this important day with all of you.Q9. Will it also be possible to send ONT to phone contacts who have Ontology wallet without knowing their wallet address? Maybe you can add a new feature in ontology 2.0 😊 (@Gagah146)The new ONTO allows you to send ONT and other digital assets to your phone or email contacts. You can also manage your contacts on ONTO.Q10. What is your long-term vision about the industry which Ontology is working at? Can you describe why we should use Ontology instead of others? Which types of advantages users perceive in your platform? (@Dhanu006)Ontology will focus on decentralized data and identity. We will provide blockchain infrastructure, protocols, tools like mobile applications, markets like SAGA, and more other infrastructure services and products, to build the most comprehensive decentralized data and identity service platform.Find Ontology elsewhereOntology website / ONTO website / OWallet (GitHub)Twitter / Reddit / Facebook / LinkedIn / YouTube / NaverBlog / ForklogTelegram Announcement / Telegram English / GitHub / DiscordAMA Recap: Ontology’s MainNet 2nd Anniversary was originally published in OntologyNetwork on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Decentralized Token Registry Is Launched

In March we published a what’s next article about the upcoming decentralized token registry and now it is ready to be used in an intuitive user-friendly interface.The website of the registry is tokens.ooo (testnet.tokens.ooo for testnet).The Autonomous Agent that powers the registry has been in operation and used by ODEX decentralized exchange and Ostable stablecoins for a long time, and what is launched now is a user interface that allows to easily view, add, support, and dispute registered names. Previously, registering, supporting, and disputing a name was only possible by sending commands to the registry’s AA from the wallet.To recap, here are the main points that make Obyte decentralized token registry special:communities compete for the names they want to have;there is no single owner of a name, instead communities own names;names cannot be bought, sold, resold, rented, or squatted;names are free, as well as their use, but locking funds in support of a name is required.For more details, please refer to the original introductory article.The UI is still in beta, bugs are possible and some features are missing. It is open source, written in React and Typescript, contributions are welcome.Decentralized Token Registry Is Launched was originally published in Obyte on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Loopring 07.02

Loopring Monthly Update — 2020/06

Loopring Monthly Update — 2020/06We have made good progress in the R&D of the Loopring protocol and Loopring Wallet. Although product iterations can never catch up with the community’s expectations, from a software engineering perspective, this progress is very satisfactory to us. If you want to learn more about Loopring, please read on.R&DLoopring ProtocolWe decided to do a Loopring 3.6 release before switching gears to Loopring 4.0 (it will have a better name later). Our goal is to make 3.6 good enough for the next two to three years in production to serve our users.Built on top of Loopring 3.5, Loopring 3.6 will be larger in scope and will provide additional trading functionalities. To name a few:Improved onboarding — users won’t need to register an account on the zkRollup before receiving tokens or Ether on Layer-2.Multiple transaction types can now be included in the same block — this will greatly increase the block size to reduce both the per-transaction cost and transaction pending time. (no more waiting for only like-requests)More flexible deposits, withdrawals, and transfers — users will be able to do cross-account and inter-layer transfers.Decreased complexity for block creatorsDecreased costs for some common operationsIncreased token capacityWe will release an updated design doc in July. Loopring 3.6 has almost been fully implemented, but still needs internal audits, more testing, and some implementation refinements. We plan to have the release ready at the end of this month for an external security audit so that we can start using it in production later this year.Loopring ExchangeWe launched a Layer-2 fast transfer feature on Loopring.io with ENS support. This feature is powered by Loopring Pay, a service that is available for all wallets to support Ether and ERC20 token transfers on a zkRollup. The cost per transfer is negligible for us (can be as low as $0.00006 per transfer) and so we charge zero fees currently as a promotion. This has led to an incredibly positive reaction by the Ethereum communities and beyond — especially in this high gas price environment, where even simple transfers are becoming prohibitively expensive. Thank you all so much. We strongly encourage wallets and Ethereum token distribution services to try Loopring Pay.https://loopring.ioWe also kicked off a Liquidity Mining program which incentivizes users to place resting limit orders on the books, with a dedicated pool of funds per trading pair rewarding users based on predefined rules (described in operations section below). Currently incentivizing ETH-USDT and LRC-USDT liquidity, we’ll keep this program running and will support project teams to start their own liquidity mining campaigns on Loopring.io with their own tokens (we do not charge fees). Contact us if you are interested in improving liquidity for your token, on Ethereum’s zkRollup DEX. Note: in the coming days, we will release an open source ‘Hummingbot Connector’ to allow people to spin up trading bots more easily. This will be a fork from the open source Hummingbot codebase. If you don’t need that, you can plug right in to trade via our API.Rewards paid out to liquidity miners on our live dashboard. https://loopring.io/account/liquidity-miningWe open-sourced the Loopring.io frontend. Loopring.io’s React codebase is now open at https://github.com/Loopring/dexwebapp. Excitingly, as the first third-party merge, the Ren team has added RenBridge to Loopring.io’s UI. Through RenBridge, you can easily mint renBTC by depositing BTC, and then use that renBTC on Loopring or other exchanges on Ethereum. We encourage developers to improve our frontend codebase or add more features!RenBridge was added to the Loopring.io UI by the Ren teamLoopring also created and funded a Gitcoin bounty for a responsive frontend for Loopring Pay. The winner will earn 25,000 LRC as a reward. Take a look at the bounty if you are interested. The bounty has just ended — we can’t wait to look at the submissions and see what the future of fast, cheap Ethereum-based payments will look like! Importantly, this Loopring Pay UI will be accessible on mobile, something Loopring.io has not been to date.Loopring WalletSolidified published an audit report for Loopring Wallet’s smart contracts (v1.0). There are a few issues identified which we have already fixed.In the meanwhile, we are inspired by Gas Station Network’s meta-transaction implementation and have improved our module’s design (v1.1). Going forward, we are also open to becoming part of GSN to allow other parties to relay Loopring Wallet meta-transactions. This is currently impossible because we need a very flexible way of reimbursing relayers with any tokens a wallet may actually possess. Loopring Wallet v1.1 is now code-complete and we hope Solidified to audit it once again. Our plan is to release v1.1 in two weeks, before offering the wallet app to a larger group of people.We have also completed an internal review for our Android codebase. A few improvements are already in place, including the isolation and decoupling of app-level password with wallet owner’s private key management, etc.Our engineers also enhanced user experience with the automated app and contract upgrade, the automated Layer-2 account registration and account key reset, and the automatic fee token selection for meta-transactions. The app also supports more types of QR code format to offer better inter-wallet interoperability.The team is busy preparing the launch of the Loopring Wallet app, which represents the core consumer product we will nurture and grow, and hopefully onboard tens of millions of users to Ethereum and DeFi. This will be possible by using our zkRollup scaling to make the experience enjoyable and affordable. Given that we still need to wait for the release of contract v1.1, only a small number of users in our community will be invited to test the first beta. We plan to spend more time in the coming months on polishing the UI.Loopring RelayerMany core functionalities in Loopring Exchange and Wallet are enabled by the new and improved APIs provided by our relayer team, especially Loopring Pay, meta-transactions, and liquidity mining.We have also implemented a long-awaited feature to enable concurrent updates to our Merkle tree. We replayed all historical layer-2 transactions to verify the feature’s correctness, and we will perform further testing to make sure it works as expanded. With this feature, we can update the Merkle tree 10x faster with the same hardware. We plan to deploy this feature into production in July.In the meanwhile, we have also tested prover service on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and further verified the cost is smaller than that on AWS. We are likely to switch to GCP, at least partially, to run our ZKP prover.Our engineers are also implementing more advanced order types to allow taker-only, maker-only, and stop-limit orders. Hopefully some of these advanced order types will be available in as early as July.OperationsWe are very pleased that Julien Bouteloup joined Loopring Technology Limited as an advisor. Julien has extensive experience trading, and is particularly good at using new market structures and tools. We look forward to Julien's ability and creativity to infuse more value and capability into Loopring Technology.As mentioned, Loopring held a one-month liquidity mining campaign which began in the middle of this month. It supports 2 trading pairs: LRC/USDT and ETH/USDT, with each pair being rewarded with 3,000 USDT each, shared amongst traders by measuring spread, order depth, and orderbook balance. Users can check their rewards and current ranking on the Loopring Exchange in real time.We published a Loopring Exchange FAQ, answering the community’s most pressing questions, especially about processing times, costs, and related info.We reached 2000 users, and then broke 3000 shortly after!Loopring Exchange has listed new markets pBTC/USDT, COMP/USDT, PNT/USDT, PNK/ETH this month, and has completed more than 1.25 million transactions in total. Loopring Pay now supports 29 tokens, including USDT, USDC, DAI, WBTC, renBTC, pBTC, and some well known DeFi tokens such as KNC, SNX, ZRX and LEND. We’ll continue add more tokens to Loopring Pay, and more trading pairs to Loopring Exchange.According to DeBank data, Loopring Exchange has settled over 9000 transactions in the past 24 hours, ranking second in the DEX track, behind only Uniswap. And as you can see on DeFi Pulse, the total assets on the Loopring Exchange zkRollup is 7.6 million USD, ranking fourth in the DEX field. (Coincidentally, if you included us in the ‘payment’ section of DeFi Pulse given Loopring Pay, we have the second most assets, just behind Lightning Network, and at one point, actually were number one :).The HAL team built a LoopringBot on Twitter to report real-time account registrations, deposits, and withdrawals on the Loopring Exchange. They also built a “recipe” allowing users to set notifications to several applications when their Loopring zkRollup withdrawal has been processed.LoopringBotIn The News and On The GroundWeek in EthereumBankless Video (Courtesy of DeFi Dad)https://medium.com/media/3ff27a78476eb5844b1fd0dd5604cbce/hrefEthHub Weekly (& EthHub Weekly Podcast)The DefiantDecryptDeFi Italy (Video Interview)Zero Knowledge Podcast (about trusted setups)Into The Ether PodcastThe Daily Gwei (and again)ETH Network Community CallEthereum CNBitcoinBay Virtual DeFi PanelPOV Crypto Podcast (Video Interview, and Podcast)https://medium.com/media/391eadf364de97a9d75e7d436e84684e/hrefCoinGecko now shows Loopring Exchange dataDune Analytics DEX Dashboard now includes Loopring Exchange dataDeBank added Loopring in their DeFi projects and dataDeFiMarketCap included us in their DeFi token rankings.CoinMarketCap DeFi included us as well.LRCLRC has been proposed by a MakerDAO community member to become a collateral asset for DAI.11.5% of total LRC supply is now staked.With the strong advancement of the Loopring protocol, the team is assessing how to best adapt LRC staking mechanics to mesh with our layer 2 capabilities, and insert itself in the new functionality/use cases, such as in Loopring Pay.Binance launched additional LRC trading pairs: LRC/USDT and LRC/BUSD, and Poloniex listed LRC/USD and LRC/BTC trading pairs.Loopring is a protocol for scalable, secure exchanges and payments on Ethereum using zkRollup.

Transparency, Fairness, OpennessWith the purpose of fostering transparent communication on our accomplishments on creating tangible economic value by blockchain technology, we hereby present the 11th VeChain Foundation Financial Executive Report, covering the period from February 2020 through to April 2020.Despite complications in operating conditions brought by COVID-19, VeChain continues to build and seize the opportunity to facilitate the latest iteration of VeChain ToolChain™, which will bring about more business growth during and after the pandemic.As always, we sincerely welcome the community to hold us to the commitment of transparency, including but not limited to the rigorous monitoring and usage of our funds, and the development process of all aspects within the VeChain Foundation.The report structure is as follows:1. VET Supply Overview2. VeChain Foundation Expenditure (use of proceeds)3. Notesi) Enterprise Investor Poolii) Co-Founders, Development Teamiii) The Operation, Technological Research and Developmentiv) Business Developmentv) Compliance & Legalvi) Ecosystem Development1. VET Supply OverviewAs of Apr 31, 2020, the circulating amount (i.e. 64,315,576,989) remains almost the same as the last reporting period. The circulating amount at this period end accounts for roughly 74.8% of the total supply, compared to 74.9%, last period end. Within the VET circulating supply, 21,833,053,627 VETs were in the soft-lockups, which makes 25.4% of the total supply. By the end of this reporting period, around 49.4% of the VET total supply is free for trading in the open market.Note:* The soft-lockup categories are as follows:Authority Masternode collateral — each Authority Masternode keeps at least 25 million VETsX Nodes staking — each X node keeps a minimum amount of VETs based on four different tiersEconomic Nodes staking — each economic node keeps a minimum amount of VETs based on three different tiersTeam Lockup — According to the whitepaper 5% of the total VET supply is allocated to co-founders and development team, as of Jan 31, 2020, over 3 billion VETs have been locked up by the team to show the commitment to VeChain’s long term success**The ecosystem reserve was acquired by the VeChain Foundation on the open markets. This reserve will be used to facilitate the long term growth of the VeChain ecosystem. VeChain Foundation is evaluating institution level custody service, and the reserve will be deposited into the custody and disclosed when the custody service is available.2. VeChain Foundation Expenditure (use of proceeds)We summarized below the USD value of the expenditure in fiat or BTC/ETH for the reporting period. For the spending in BTC or ETH, the USD value was booked based on the rate when the transaction occurred. In many situations our service providers and partners prefer to receive VET as direct payment or investment compared to using fiat or BTC/ETH. Therefore, the total expenditure for operation, technological and business development comprises a combination of direct VET payment and use of proceeds (fiat, BTC/ETH) depending on the associated parties’ preference.3. Notesi) Enterprise Investor PoolDuring this quarter, the COVID-19 pandemic has largely put the investment activities on hold and no enterprise investor was accredited.ii) Co-Founders, Development TeamGiven the large impact brought by COVID-19 and uncertainty in the long term impact on the global economy, we made structured analysis of the current business and decided to put all team reward programs on hold for this quarter.iii) The Operation, Technological Research and DevelopmentDuring this period, there have been notable improvements announced to the public, highlighting our great efforts in R&D in exchange for huge technological achievements, which is illustrated as follows:The most significant VeChainThor mainnet code update Entropy (v1.3.0) was released. As a comprehensively enhanced redesign, v1.3.0 is currently the most significant update since the mainnet launch, bringing in many dramatic improvements, especially in terms of performance and efficiency. It can reduce 80% disk occupation and 50% RAM usage, meanwhile vastly reduce the tier query latency.Several updates on Sync were released to optimize the user experience of signing with Ledger devices and wallet selection, such as Sync v1.2.2 that has multiple improvements on UI and bug fixing.Several updates on VeChainThor on VeChain Official Explorer were released to improve the performance. This updated version enables users to download account transfer records.iv) Business DevelopmentDuring this quarter, VeChain was awarded a top 5% ranking among startups around the globe by Early Metrics, which recognized the development and growth logic, market positioning, technical professionalism, and operational execution of VeChain, further proving the potential of VeChain’s business growth.Given the solid advantages in business friendly blockchain technology, VeChain enhanced partnership with Shanghai Gas to further enhance the partnership to kick off the further blockchain-based energy project. The partnership aims to optimize business processes, reduce operation cost, improve the supply chain efficiency and build a trust-free “Energy-as-a-Service” ecosystem. Sarah Regensburger, the vegan fashion label based in London has also chose VeChain ToolChain™ to boost the traceability and efficiency of product delivery.Announced partnerships and collaborations (February, 2020 — April, 2020)Sarah Regensburger (February 28)PlatformXChain (March 17)Shanghai Gas (March 31)Highlights from the business development and marketing events (February, 2020 — April, 2020)Kevin Feng, COO at VeChain, joined an AMA session hosted by Binance US, which was held at its official telegram. The event covers interesting topics related to VeChain, and has a live Q&A session for the community. Kevin stressed that VeChain differs from other public blockchains in terms of technical designs and growth philosophy, by developing blockchain technology and infrastructures that are ready for business adoption. (March 4)Sunny Lu, CEO and co-founder of VeChain, conducted a live AMA on Cryptocom’s Telegram Channel to share VeChain’s recent progress and to answer questions from the community. (April 23)v) Compliance & LegalVeChain hires professional service providers in cybersecurity and legal to ensure products and solutions we offer are secure and compliant with regulations, which we believe is the prerequisite of mass adoption by global enterprises.vi) Ecosystem DevelopmentIn order to provide better support for community developers and improve the quality of contributions incorporated participation, the Foundation team has adhered to the Foundation Grant Program and bounty program, which was being implemented with increasing closer communication with our community.

KuCoin Shares 07.01

KuCoin AMA Series - Terra (LUNA)- Full Transcript

Dear KuCoin Users,Time: 30, June, 2020, 19:00–20:00 (UTC+8)KuCoin hosted an AMA (Ask-Me-Anything) session with Terra in the KuCoin Exchange Telegram Group.Guest:Daniel Hwang, head of ecosystem development, manages ecosystem verticals of third-party development, validators, community, and research through operational support across internal and external stakeholdersIntroduction to Terra:Terra is a blockchain protocol that supports stable programmable payments and open financial infrastructure development. It is supported by a basket of fiat-pegged, seigniorage share style stablecoins which are algorithmically stabilized by its native crypto asset, LUNA.One part of Terra’s value contributions, payments, in essence replaces the complicated payment value chain, including credit card networks, banks, and payment gateways with a single blockchain layer. With the efficiencies that Terra has provided for payment channels on both the merchant and consumer sides, it continues to steadily provide infrastructural improvements and tools that are laying down the foundations for a credibly neutral, distributed, and radically transparent ecosystem. Bolstered through the initial mass adoption of Terra’s blockchain infrastructure that is powering its partner, CHAI, which has amassed over 1.4 million users to date, Terra is moving naturally towards ecosystem building that offers competitive programmable payments, logistics, and infrastructure to power the plethora of industry that will be built on efficiency and scale.Terra was created in January 2018 with the singular vision of facilitating the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies by creating digitally native assets that are price-stable against the world’s major fiat currencies. Keeping in mind that previous innovations in the technology of money was bootstrapped by large payment networks (Alipay with Taobao, PayPal with eBay, Visa with banks), Terra was born with the support of the Terra Alliance, 15 large e-commerce companies in Asia that collectively process 25 billion USD in annualized transaction volume and 45 million users. The vision of the project is that with the adoption and user engagement of a massive payment network, it will be able to, for the first time, bootstrap a blockchain payment network to the scale it deserves and facilitate far more powerful products and use cases through its infrastructure.During conversations between co-founders Daniel Shin and Do Kwon, the concept of Terra began as a solution towards immediate and massive usage of the cryptocurrency and blockchain infrastructure being built around them. To them, price stability and adoption were important in preparing the first steps towards massive adoption of cryptocurrency and blockchain infrastructure. Daniel Shin, with his extensive experience in building one of the biggest e-commerce platforms in Asia, laid out the existing problems we face in payment networks that cannot be solved through just incremental improvements. Do Kwon, previously a founder of a wireless mesh network startup building decentralized applications, explained how Terra can turn those problems into an opportunity to build money from the ground up.Q&A from KuCoinQ: Please tell us about the Terra project?A: Terra is a blockchain protocol that supports stable, programmable payments and open financial infrastructure development. It is supported by a basket of fiat-pegged, seigniorage share style stablecoins which are algorithmically stabilized by its native cryptoasset Luna.We currently have payment entities spanning Korea and Mongolia that collectively process about $5 billion in transaction volume run rate on an annualized basis!Q: What consensus model does Terra use?A: We use a delegated proof of stake modelQ: Is Terra a single stablecoin or a basket of stablecoins? What is Luna?A: This is a great question and a common one. Terra is actually a basket of stablecoins.We have a basket of stablecoins that are each pegged to their respective fiat currencies. For example, we have a KRT which is Terra’s stablecoin for South Korea’s KRW. We also have a UST for the US Dollar. We also have an SDT for the IMF SDR. Finally, we have the MNT, for Mongolia’s Tughrik.Luna is the stabilizing asset in the Terra network that is used to reward validators and in governance.Much of this information can be found in our block explorer, station: https://station.terra.moneyQ: How many validators does the Terra network currently have?A: We have over 50 validators in our network. You can find a list of our validators at our block explorer page here: station.terra.money. We also have a community page developed here: terra.stake.idQ: In the Terra network, where do staking rewards come from?A: Staking rewards come from: gas (compute fees), taxes, and seigniorage rewards.Q: What is the current staking return for Luna?A: You can find the staking return on our block explorer, station: station.terra.moneyIt is currently about 12% per yearQ: What is seigniorage?A: This is a question that a lot of peolple have that I can expand on. Seigniorage is essentially profit made by an currency issuer which is represented as the difference between the face value of the currency and its production costs. With digital currencies, production cost is essentially zero.In the Terra network, when demand for stablecoins increases, the system mints more Terra stablecoins and earns Luna in return. The system burns a portion of the earned Luna which makes mining power scarcer. The remaining seigniorage generated goes to the Terra Treasury to fund fiscal stimulus.There is a great paper written by Nicolas Andreoulis of our research team here on the economics of seigniorage: https://agora.terra.money/uploads/short-url/mTZ8fLvyW3pUJMYRIRIbS3iSQhd.pdfWith regards to this, for research and mechanism related content, please visit us on our Agora page here: https://agora.terra.money !Q: What makes Terra different from other stablecoin projects like Tether and MakerDAO?A: As we know, Tether is a supposedly fully backed token to a fiat peg, there are exchange stablecoins, and MakerDAO’s Dai serves as an example of an attempt at a decentralized governance model for a stablecoin.Terra’s stablecoins are all pegged to their respective fiat currencies (KRT to KRW, UST to USD, etc). Through our inflationary and deflationary mechanism design with our Luna token, we are able to keep stability algorithmically. Further, all of the Terra stablecoins are swappable with each other on-chain without the need for a counterparty.This approach of ours is to ensure the viability of stablecoins for use in a commercial setting. For example, in the setting of international payments, you can accept multiple different types of currencies and have settlement in just one currency within one block time (6 seconds).Q: Is Terra fee-based or inflation-based? What is the reasoning?A: This is a great question and one that I have covered in an article published recently with our head of research, Nick PlatiasTerra operates on a fee-based model. There are significant benefits for a fee-based model for the Terra ecosystem and network.As it has been recently disclosed. Terra ranks just 3rd behind that of Bitcoin and Ethereum in accumulated transaction fees — more than $4.3 million in fees to date with more than $800k generated in rewards for Terra validators. What is important about a fee-based model is its presentation of objective valuation vs that of an inflation-based one. From the CHAI app that uses the Terra blockchain for transaction and settlement, real external value of actual consumer to merchant purchasing is being represented on the blockchain. These real transaction fees are instrumental to real valuation as well as network security.Transaction fees represent value that is captured externally as we have with CHAI users spending at merchants. With inflation-based models, value is more difficult to base.Here is the post I mentioned: https://medium.com/terra-money/the-role-of-transaction-fees-in-network-valuation-and-security-90540c422ffQ: Please tell us about the CHAI app and its difference from other payment appsA: yep. The number now is over 1.6 million users to date now!The CHAI app is a payment application that is built using the Terra blockchainThe CHAI application makes use of the Terra blockchain for transaction and settlement. With many other payment applications, there are still existing hurdles of middle men extracting high fees and long settlement times — 5+ days. CHAI can overcome those hurdles with offering significantly lower transaction fees, incentives to users via discounts and cashback, and provide much shorter settlement times for merchants. This also in turn provides the Terra network with significant real volume.As mentioned, the CHAI app (www.chai.finance) currently has 1.6 million users and has been integrated into many of the top merchants in Korea including: Korea’s largest bookstore, top e-commerce stores, largest convenience stores, and more. Currently the integrations represent more than $25 billion in gross merchandise volume and will be growing even more in the coming year.A great place to learn more about CHAI and its metrics can be found at the chaiscan dashboard (https://www.chaiscan.com/) which one of Terra’s validators, DSRV Labs has created.Q: What is next on the roadmap for Terra?A: Terra will be announcing some exciting new developments in its product roadmap at the Unitize Conference (unitize.online (http://unitize.online/) ). Please tune in to watch our CEO, Do Kwon, present on the first day of the conference, July 6th!We’ve also announced a few weeks ago about our integration of smart contracts onto the Terra platform. So we will be stress testing it in an incentivized testnet coming mid-July and will have more details out soon!We are also on the road to our fourth mainnet update this year with a coming hackathon and our second round of grant opening, so please stay tuned for more details there!Free-AskQ:Currently, CHAI is the most used blockchain-based application in the world and Terra has more daily active users than Ethereum! What is Terra’s secret?A: A good go to market strategy with users in mind! Here is a great talk by our CEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGGalxADnbcQ: For money to be Smart, it must be instant, zero fee transactions and private. Does LUNA meet these 3 pain points of payments?A: Great point. We can provide near instant settlement (6 second block times) opposed to the settlement times of existing traditional payment systems 5+ days and almost halved transaction fees, 0.05% to 1.3% as opposed to traditional payment processor transaction fees: 2.3–2.7%Q: Adoption is one of the most important factor that all sustainable blockchain projects should focus to be more attractive in the investors Eyes. Can you tell me what #Terra has done and plan to do to achieve Adoption in the reality, real use cases,our real society?A: We have one of the largest rates of adoption in the world! With 1.6 million users and counting!Q: Hello Dainel , will terracoin be used for shopping in the future?A: Yes, this is exactly what CHAI is being used for right nowIf you haven’t got a KuCoin account yet, you can sign up here!Follow us on Twitter, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram and Reddit.KuCoin AMA Series - Terra (LUNA)- Full Transcript was originally published in kucoinexchange on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
