Blockchain 3.0: Next Gen Crypto Discussion

I really believe the upcoming wave of crypto has a unique potential...but how do you figure out what qualifies as Blockchain 3.0? Let’s chat and explore these exciting new projects together. This thread is for anyone interested in discussing next generation Blockchain 3.0 crypto. A crypto coin should have at least these traits to be considered part of Blockchain 3.0: No just copy-pasting old tech with a new name. 3.0 Blockchains should have a lot of original code written. There needs to be a solid dev team behind it. High transaction speeds. Low transaction costs. Super fast transfer times. Eco-friendly. Support for smart contracts. Incorporation of sharding. Let’s learn and grow together BTC Blockchain 1.0 (2009) ETH Blockchain 2.0 (2015) MPC Blockchain 3.0 (2021)

ANKR

ANKR ....  Decentralised AWS, ANKR cheaper and better than all others. Blockchain Node-as-a-Service Platform The first ever one-click blockchain node platform built on a distributed cloud to help you work faster and deploy globally Empowering Anyone to Deploy Nodes Anywhere and Anytime Built on our state-of-the-art cloud-native solution, Ankr allows you to instantly deploy apps or your own codebase on our distributed platform. The following projects are all working with ANKR and many more will join...let your coin devs know what ANKR can do for your project.

https://medium.com/ankr-network/ankr-powering-decentralized-finance-with-plutusdefi-2078d2b5975d   PlutusDeFi will use Ankr’s infrastructure to decentralize several of their future builds including moving their on-chain Ethereum validation nodes to Ankr and the roll out of our one-click node deployment in a future release of the staking campaign, to provide users incentives for locking their PLT token holdings. As PlutusDeFi has opted for a DPoS infrastructure within it’s governance system, we will enable users to easily deploy DPoS nodes on our platform, enabling users to run their own staking nodes. Our one-click node deployment will allow for users to very easily start nodes, in order to participate in governance votes across the platform, or participate in ‘solidarity voting actions’, by combining the PLT’ company stake within other projects to be deployed into external governance actions.

ANKR IS NOT A 3.0 COIN....but Almost every new high throughput 3.0 Blockchain they will using various forms of sharding. Sharding is done amongst nodes...more nodes=more shards. Mega scalable project like AVAX team areworking with ANKR aswell as many more... "With Ankr, we can successfully deploy thousands of Zilliqa nodes in less than 30 minutes - nearly 100 times faster than before." Amrit Kumar President at Zilliqa Now people pay alot of money to services such as AWS,Digital ocean and others...but there is a few issues with this... 1- your nodes can become centralised if everyone is using AWS = not good. 2  The cost to run is expensive. 3- It can be complicated to set up a node ANKR solves all these problems and more. 1 - ANKR uses a decentralized system, so no single point of failure or centralization. 2 - ANKR is more than 60% cheaper to run a node with the same setting/options as the competition. 3 - ANKR is working directly with the dev teams and have created one click node setup, making it easier for everyone to have a node. ANKR pays in ANKR Token, so you can Monetize Your Servers Connect your idle servers to Ankr and instantly start generating revenue for you or your organization. ANKR is the Blockchain Cloud Infrastructure for Web 3.0 Ankr makes infrastructure for deploying any blockchain node easy, accessible, affordable and instantly distributed across the globe.

https://www.algorand.com/ TECHNOLOGY THAT ENABLES FRICTIONLESS FINANCE We are the technology company that built and developed the world’s first open, permissionless, pure proof-of-stake blockchain protocol that, without forking, provides the necessary security, scalability, and decentralization needed for today’s economy. With an award-winning team, we enable traditional finance and decentralized financial businesses to embrace the world of frictionless finance. https://www.algorand.com/resources/blog/algorand-isda-member Algorand has become a member of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA). https://cointelegraph.com/news/tether-launches-usdt-stablecoin-on-algorand-blockchain Feb. 10, Tether announced that USDT on Algorand will feature confirmation times as low as four seconds and transaction fees of a fraction of a percent. https://www.coindesk.com/circle-coinbase-bring-usdc-stablecoin-to-algorands-blockchain The CENTRE consortium, led by Coinbase and Circle, announced Thursday its U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, USD Coin (USDC), would be launched on the Algorand blockchain as part of a new collaboration with the Algorand Foundation.   It was bound to be listed since ALGO secures USDC https://cointelegraph.com/news/algorand-spikes-30-after-surprise-coinbase-listing Algorand’s market capitalization has hit a new all-time high after a sudden Coinbase listing sparked the third-strongest day of trade in the coin’s history. On July 16, Coinbase abruptly announced that ALGO trading had been launched on Coinbase.com and the exchange’s apps. Trade volume for Algorand increased by nearly four times since in response to the listing, comprising the third-strongest day of trade in ALGO’s history. But due to Twitter issues, Coinbase have not announced this on its official twitter page yet.....

https://www.algorand.com/resources/blog/algorand-and-isda-asset-tokenization-and-programmatic-money JUL 09, 2020 Last year, Algorand and the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) began to explore new ways to use the Algorand blockchain to enhance the implementation of the ISDA Common Domain Model (CDM). Since then, Algorand has developed several new features such as Algorand Standard Assets (ASAs) and Layer-1 TEAL smart contracts (ASC1s) which will significantly help ISDA CDM users create innovative applications of the CDM on the Algorand blockchain........................... ...........This post has talked about the work by Algorand and ISDA and how features such as ASAs and ASC1s can support the use of the ISDA CDM, benefiting the entire financial sector. However, this is just an example of the many exciting use cases that Algorand’s users have been working on. In future posts, we will focus on how ASAs can solve other relevant use cases in finance, starting from the creation of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Stay tuned!

https://twitter.com/alexjwokeup/status/1284897422724878338?s=20   Think it was just by “chance” #Algorand got mentioned by @RepTomEmmer  in an official hearing? BARELY a top 100 coin at the time. ZERO chance that list was random

https://www.coindesk.com/algorand-blockchain-chosen-as-underlying-tech-for-marshall-islands-digital-currency The Marshallese sovereign (SOV), which could become the first state-backed digital currency to enter circulation, will be built using the Algorand protocol.

After a delay due to the Twutter hack, Coinbase just tweeted out https://twitter.com/coinbase/status/1285347970687414273   Over 1m people just found out Algo on Coinbase

Possibly the most impressive Blockchain 3.0 is launching its main net mid August 2020 ....Avalanche AVAX Stay ahead of the pack and start learning all about it now. Avalanche is the open-source platform, powered by the Avalanche protocol, that enables developers to launch finance applications and enterprise blockchain deployments in one interoperable, highly scalable ecosystem. With the ability to scale to thousands of nodes, developers can avoid centralization risks plaguing current blockchains to build a truly decentralized protocol. The customizable public and private blockchains launched on Avalanche are also able to define its own core logic and validator set, providing compliance and privacy (optional ZK snarks) by default. https://medium.com/avalabs/bringing-one-click-google-logins-to-the-avalanche-wallet-57227ab25673

AVAX Launch is weeks away   Multichain model, how would you like your Blockchain? would you like Coinjoin? ZK snarks? would you like it private,permissioned, permissionless..oh and dont worry its all interoperable.   https://medium.com/avalabs/full-recap-of-the-avalanche-telegram-ama-with-the-ava-labs-team-e895e4a53e6d A bit of the AMA...... Q: What is the state/status of ZKsnarks and other privacy tools for Avalanche? A:  Our multi-chain model will let us try a variety of approaches, for example on the X-chain we could easily support CoinJoin-style privacy protocols while also experimenting with ZK proof-based privacy schemes on a new chains. I’m also looking forward to playing with SNARKs and protocols like Tornado on the Ethereum-compatible C-Chain. Want to stake? your gonna need 2k AVAX to do so Q: Will AVAX token also be a governance token? What are the requirements for participating in governance? A: Yes, $AVAX will be a governance token. For staking the requirements are to lock up at least 2000 $AVAX for between 2–52 weeks (BTW i hear supply will be really low at the start) Q: Will it be possible to stake AVAX with a single click, as was done now to open a wallet with an existing Google account? A: Yes, this will be supported soon. Our team is adding delegation functionality to avalanche.js and to the web wallet. We are actively working with Staking as a Service provider to ensure that there are easier options for staking AVAX–for those who are not as technically savvy. (ANKR will allow this) Q: How easy an Ethereum dapps can completely move to Avalanche? A: The C-Chain is an instance of the Ethereum Virtual Machine powered by Avalanche. One can create smart contracts on the C-Chain and do anything else they would do on Ethereum by using the C-Chain’s API.

No wonder devs from 50+ projects are using ANKR.....its so simple, much cheaper and offers a fully decentralised system. Setting up a node is do damn easy with ANKR anyone can do it...very impressed I 100% recommend everyone interested in having a node should check out ANKR website and log in. New coins added for one click node set-up inc...Acala,Chainx, Bitcoin BTC and more. It also helps that one of the ANKR creators was Tech lead at AWS from 2008-2018...the ANKR team know what they are doing... https://cointelegraph.com/news/blockchain-could-help-content-generation-industry-be-more-profitable/amp One click staking on many projects already and AVAX will be on it soon too.

ANKR is working closely with ETH team to bring ETH2.0 nodes to everyone in a cheap, simple setup and fully decentralized manner.  ETH 2.0 testnet ,Medalla goes live in a day or so and ANKR is heavily involved in supporting ETH2.0

https://twitter.com/binance/status/1290271672818270210 You can now run your own #Binance Smart Chain Validator using @ankr We recently added the @Binance_DEX Smart Chain to our protocol market Ankr offers free hosting for Binance Smart Chain Validators until August 31st, 2020

https://www.bitcointe.com/2020/08/04/ethereum-2-zero-medalla-testnet-node-now-out-there-on-ankr/ Ethereum2 Medalla testnet node now available on Ankr Right this moment, the Ethereum Medalla testnet launched. On this tutorial, we are going to present you how you can run an Ethereum Medalla testnet node on Ankr.

PRO TIP for anyone wanting to host alot of nodes and make even more huge savings by using ANKR. ANKR is already more than 60% cheaper than its rivals... Devs and anyone else...if you want to lower the price by 5x,10x, 100x even 1000x...buy,accumulate alot of ANKR now then use it to pay for your node services which you will be needing for the next decade or longer.

https://medium.com/ankr-network/stkr-by-ankr-staking-reimagined-4b12d7a3864f After a thorough read, im very impressed with Stkr and can clearly see its long term potential as we head into a future of Blockchain 3.0 POS coins. Triple staking , so many ways to earn ANKR Provide resources and you can earn ETH Micro pools to allow anyone to pool in small stakes and earn coins like ETH,DOT and more Well done ANKR
