The DeFi Yield Protocol (DYP) rewards crypto enthusiasts with ETH for providing liquidity (Uniswap LP tokens). Holders of DYP, the native cryptocurrency token underpinning the project, earn rewards from the ETH smart contract integrated with Trustwallet and Metamask.

Besides earning ETH immediately using DYP, users also enjoy protection from the risks associated with yield farming. The innovative DeFi protocol uses anti-manipulation technology to make it impossible for whales to have the power to take over the network.

The protocol automatically converts all DYP rewards to ETH, allowing smart contracts to distribute rewards to the liquidity providers (LPs) in a manner that is fair to all participants, thus guarding users against a flash dump.

Moreover, the DYP project's proprietary anti-manipulation feature ensures the stability of token prices by guaranteeing a minimum of 2.5% slippage while giving end-users a secure yield farming process.

Introducing the DYP Tools With Decentralized Trust Score

DeFi Yield protocol has announced the launch of its DYP tools with a mission to help the DeFi community make the best decisions while investing their funds.

The new feature is designed to capture data cached from the latest open-source platforms like Etherscan as well as top decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Liquidity providers will also view and explore Uniswap pools/pairs and access trading charts and DEX real-time data.

Many investors in the DeFi space encounter scams since they fail to do their diligence for new projects. That is why DYP is bringing in tools to help them avoid rug pulls by offering an informative platform that shows all the existing projects listed on Uniswap with unique features.

By tapping into the DYP liquidity locker, the upcoming tools will rank projects using a 100% decentralized trust score. The score considers various criteria such as a project's locked liquidity, security audits, and whether the project team is public or not. Investors will also easily see if the liquidity on Uniswap was added by the contract creator's address or by a token holder.

The DYP tools are 100% decentralized without sponsored paid projects and come with a home page link that directs investors to the listed tokens on Uniswap or any other DEX. Token holders of each project will also have access to a “Community Trust” feature that allows them to vote on vital issues regarding their project's development.

DYP has taken multiple measures to keep DeFi investors safe from rug pulls, but each individual should do their own research when putting their funds in any project.

For one, all users should check if the contract is a proxy smart contract (the proxy allows the admin to change ANYTHING in the smart contract). They should also determine if the project team has access to tokens; the unused tokens should be locked on smart contracts!

Other Upcoming Developments on DYP

The ETH Mining Pool is set to launch on DYP protocol in Q1 of 2021. Participants must first join the zero-fee ETH mining pool to claim monthly DYP tokens.

The ETH mining pool will provide a 10% monthly DYP bonus + 0% mining fees to all miners. These bonuses will distribute a maximum amount of DYP with a -2.5% Price Impact.

Also set to roll out soon is the DYP Earn Vault, an automated yield farming contract designed to maximize profits for users by moving their funds through the most lucrative DeFi protocols.

In recent years, the immense growth of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has seen the launch of several projects, even inspiring the creation of an entire chain. Huobi, a leading Chinese crypto exchange, launched its native chain, i.e., Huobi Eco Chain (HECO). Heco is a decentralized and faster, cost-efficient, and developer-friendly public chain that Ethereum developers can easily build and deploy Dapps. The chain essentially functions like Ethereum, and the smart contracts are seamlessly compatible. HECO uses Huobi Token as gas fees and is faster and cost-efficient compared to Ethereum, which has of late experienced rising gas fees due to scalability issues and rising demand.

The efficiency and sustainability of HECO has seen the immense growth of platforms built upon it. Heco’s TPS can reach up to 500, and the transaction confirmation time is about 3 seconds. The GAS fee is about $0.001 in HT. As such, it provides a new choice for DeFi developers who are frustrated by the gas issues on the Ethereum blockchain.

MDEX, the leading platform in the Heco Chain ecosystem, has caused ripples in the decentralized exchange (DEX) sector. Less than two months into its existence, the platform’s total liquidity pool (LP) pledge amount exceeded USD 2 billion, and the 24-hour transaction volume exceeded USD 5.05 billion surpassing SushiSwap and UniSwap. Currently, the TVL (Total Value Locked) on MDEX stands at $2.09 billion. Here's an in-depth review of the platform termed as the “DeFi Golden Shovel.”

What is MDEX?

MDEX is an automatic market-making (AMM) DEX based on the concept of fund pools. MDEX implements a mix-chain DEX model based on the Heco Chain and Ethereum. This allows it to combine the benefits of the sustainable and low transaction fees of the Heco chain and the opulence of the Ethereum ecosystem into a single platform.

MEDX implements a “dual mining” model of transactions and liquidity. In addition to liquidity mining synonymous with most DEX, MDEX introduces transaction mining, meaning that users also receive MDX rewards for transactions. In essence, the “dual-mining” mechanism means that MDEX supports both Swap liquidity mining (AMM) and transaction mining, allowing users to receive MDX rewards for governance tokens.

The platform also includes pledged MDEX support as a contributor to liquidity market making. Currently, MDEX supports transaction mining involving 12 trading pairs, i.e., HUSD-WHT, ETH-USDT, and HBTC-USDT.

Another unique feature on MDEX not found in other swaps is the “repurchase and burn” mechanism plus “repurchase rewards.” The platform has deployed a repurchase and destruction mechanism to create a deflationary effect for MDX. The primary purpose of the “Repurchase Rewards” is to use HT to encourage users to provide liquidity for MDX. The rewards are instrumental in enabling users happy to pledge MDX. Currently, the liquidity pool for MDX is only MDX-USDT.

MDEX seeks to build an innovative DeFi platform that integrates DEX, IMO/ICO, and DAO on Heco and ETH, providing users with a safer and more reliable asset selection and configuration plus a higher ROI on decentralized token exchange service.

Outstanding Features on MDEX

Liquidity and Transaction Mining

As noted earlier, MDEX supports the “dual mining mechanism” of DEX-based AMM liquidity and transaction mining. Built on the Huobi Eco-Chain and Ethereum, the platform implements both transaction mining and LP (liquidity pool) mining.

In liquidity mining, also popularly yield farming, MDX tokens are generated for the users who provide liquidity to the pool. In transaction mining, users can harvest MDX by trading the specified pairs, and 0.3% transaction fees will be charged for transaction mining. Of the 66% transaction fees charged, 30% will be used to repurchase and destroy MDX. The rest of the 70% is used to purchase HT from the secondary market to reward MDX/USDT, MDX/WHT, and MDX stakers. All transactions are publicized on the chain. This combination of “dual mining mechanism” of transaction mining and liquidity mining completes an ecological “closed-loop” designed to support liquidity on an AMM-based DEX.

Repurchase and Burn + Repurchase and Reward

To enhance the MDX token's financial value, MDEX implements a “repurchase and burn” and “repurchase and reward” mechanism. After MDEX mining is started, 66% of the daily transaction fees income is split into two parts, 30% of which is used to repurchase MDX and burn the remaining 70% will be used to buy HT (Huobi Token) from the secondary market to reward MDX/USDT LP, MDX/HT LP liquidity providers (stakers). Stakers can collect rewards in the boardroom reward pool every day.

Currently, over 2.72 million MDX has been repurchased with a real-time deflation rate of 5.2%. MDEX estimates that nearly US$750,000 will be used for the repurchase and destruction of MDX every day. Correspondingly, approximately US$1.75 million will be used to purchase HT to reward liquidity providers.

The mechanism of “Repurchase & Destroy” and “Repurchase Reward” is essential to reduce the circulation of MDX on the market, creating scarcity and enhancing its value. Therefore, it allows the token to enjoy a competitive price on the secondary market.

MDX Tokenomics

Basic Information

Name: MDX (MDEX Token)

Total amount: About 1 billion

Block time: Every 3 seconds (based on HECO)

Block Rewards: 80MDX per block

Halve time: halve every six months.

MDX Token Supply

80% – Heco liquidity and transaction mining on Heco

10%– Team Rewards for operation and development etc. It will be unlocked in 24 months after being launched by smart contracts

7%-Used as early investors’ share to provide more sufficient funds and resources

3%-Used for market promotion and brand building. Both unlocked in twelve months after going online.

The mining reward for each block on Heco is 80 MDX, where liquidity mining accounts for 50%, transaction mining accounts for 50%. The rewards are halved every six months.

MDEX Transaction Fees

MDEX charges a transaction fee of 0.3%. 66% of the total transaction fee income is used to repurchase and burn MDX and buy HT and rewards to users.

Advantages of MDEX over other DEX Platforms

MDEX has dethroned Uniswap and SushiSwap to be the leading DEX in the market.l This didn't come as a surprise considering the immense benefits offered by the platform. Some of MDEX's benefits over other platforms include:

Very Low Transaction Fees

Compared to other DEX, notably Uniswap, MDEX offers very low transaction fees. The current gas crisis on the Ethereum blockchain has seen transaction costs increase to unimaginable heights on Uniswap, SushiSwap, and other DEX based on Ethereum.

MDEX transaction fee is almost zero, i.e., 0.1 cents. This is because of transaction mining fee subsidies for users who have exceeded USD 100 million.

Transaction Speed

MDEX is built on the Heco Chain, which can reach up to 500TPS with a transaction confirmation time of about 3 seconds. Therefore, MDEX confirmation times are less than 3 seconds compared to Uniswap, which takes up to 1 minute to complete a transaction attributed to congestion on the Ethereum Mainnet.

Ability to Switch Pools

MDEX supports seamless switching of pools which could be costly on other DEX based on Ethereum due to high gas fees. Besides, the rates of returns of liquidity mining on MDEX are stable and a bit high.

How is MDEX Supporting the Growth of the Huobi Eco Chain?

MDEX is the leading Dapp on the Heco Chain and has been instrumental in creating awareness of the chain. Following the immense success of MDEX, it has become an instrumental part of the Huobi ecological chain. In essence, MDEX has been vital in enabling the Heco chain to enter the hugely competitive crypto market. Besides, real transaction demand on MDEX and its high APY has supported the Heco Chain ecosystem's growth, enabling it to find increased use cases.

MDEX Future Plans

MDEX is currently exploring ways of promoting the DEX and attracting more users by enhancing the trading experience. With time, the platform looks to list more multi-chain assets, multiply encrypted asset products, develop more user-friendly models, strengthen community governance and consolidate community consensus.

In the long run, the project aims to become the hub of decentralized asset exchange. The project is open to deploying multiple chains to link multi-chain assets to achieve a better DEX experience and bring more sustainable development to mainstream public chains.

Closing Words

It's no surprise that MDEX has achieved immense success in the DEX sector in such a short time. The platform's features, notably dual mining and Repurchase and Burn + Repurchase and Reward, make it stand out among other DEX platforms and offer real benefits to its users. Better yet, the platform is built on the Huobi Eco Chain (Heco)-a fast, cost-efficient, and developer-friendly public chain. MDEX has laid an excellent foundation for the accelerated ecological construction of DeFi platforms on the Huobi ecological chain. MDEX will indeed live up to its goal of building the biggest DeFi platform that integrates DEX, DAO, and IMO on both the Ethereum and HECO chains. Stay tuned for more updates on the project.

Aloha DeFi is bringing the opportunities of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to its thousands of users.

The decentralized project is proud to announce the launch of its NFT Staking platform that enables crypto users to win rare NFT's by staking their ALOHA tokens.

The earned NFTs give each holder a say on Aloha DeFi's future, depending on their rarity. NFT holders also gain access to exclusive perks and enjoy various incentives on the platform.

The newly launched NFT staking platform has already seen investors stake 8.5m+ coins for NFTs within 24 hours!

The NFT staking platform went live following the close of the Aloha public sale that started on Feb 21, culminating in a listing on Uniswap on Feb 28.

The ALOHA token, which investors received during the public sale, will be used for various solutions both in the DeFi space and in the real world.

For a minimum investment value of 0.1 ETH, participants in the sale received 2000 ALOHA, with the maximum investment of 10 ETH netting investors 200,000 ALOHA.

The public token offering was successful — the project now has enough funds locked in the treasury to develop and test the upcoming Aloha DApp in Q2 and Q3 of this year.

How To Earn NFTs And Join The Staking Contest

Investors wishing to participate in the NFT staking contest are required to hold ALOHA for a definite period, after which they can claim NFTs to their wallet.

Users can stake between 30,000 and 200, 000 tokens for a specified period (between 10 to 21 days) to earn rare NFTs in exchange. The NFT received will have different rarities depending on the amount of ALOHA staked.

Once the NFT has been claimed, the user can un-stake the tokens and re-stake to earn another NFT of a different rarity or net an NFT in the same category but in a different design.

Interested users can start staking their NFTs on the platform today to earn rewards! Each staker can win up to 5 NFTs in total.

Users who opt to un-stake their Aloha before the agreed time won't be eligible for NFTs. However, they will still have 100% of their Aloha refunded back to their wallet.

As an added incentive for holding, Aloha will distribute a portion of the transaction fees on the platform to NFT owners. Plans are also underway to partner with other projects, enabling ALOHA holders to stake their tokens in pools to earn exclusive NFTs associated with the specific project.

The Aloha Governance System

Aloha strives to stay true to its vision of being a community-driven project. To this end, the project plans to roll out its governance system that offers various opportunities for the community to get involved in its future progression.

The NFTs mentioned above give users voting rights that allow them to make proposals via the Governance system and decide on Aloha's future development.

Essentially, users can hold between 1 to 50 votes in the governance pool, depending on the rarity of their NFT.

Furthermore, the governance system plays a vital role in creating a healthy ecosystem by allowing the community to propose creative and rewarding ways to use treasury funds.

By connecting to the DeFi world, the Aloha platform can become truly user-driven and benefit both investors and the community.

Wrapping Up

By connecting the world's pioneering peer-to-peer Wi-Fi hotspot with DeFi, Aloha enables users to earn ALOHA tokens which can then be traded or spent throughout their marketplace.

Users who share their bandwidth can also stake ALOHA tokens to win NFTs through the project's decentralized network.

The Aloha app is currently available on Android and iOS, with the Aloha 4 Business and the rewards system scheduled to roll out in Q2 of 2021. Work is also in progress to transition the working Aloha app into a decentralized application (DApp).

The DeFi project Unicrypt has hit a new milestone with the successful deployment of its lockers and initial liquidity offering (ILO) platform on top of PancakeSwap and JulSwap.

As per its official Twitter page, Unicrypt now offers its services on 4 Automated Market Makers (AMM) among 3 blockchains. The project team is also considering new AMMs where they can deploy all Unicrypt services.

The addition of Binance Smart Chain (BSC) support is a key move toward establishing Unicrypt as a top multi-chain presale & liquidity DAPP platform.

The development comes just weeks after the blockchain network unveiled plans to move its whole suite of services to xDai, a sidechain on the ETH blockchain that supports swift and stable payments. That migration facilitated the introduction of support for HoneySwap and the eventual launch of the UniCrypt series of deployments.

The recent deployment of Unicrypt liquidity lockers on top of PancakeSwap and JulSwap will facilitate the seamless locking of liquidity. Support for other AMMs is scheduled to come next, allowing the network to gain adoption among DeFi investors.

Unicrypt is transforming DeFi by instilling more Trust

The booming DeFi space is currently plagued with rugpull scams, where projects either run away with presale funds or withdraw liquidity from an exchange.

To mitigate against such scams, Unicrypt utilizes smart contracts to funnel presale funds and automatically send liquidity to PancakeSwap or Uniswap, depending where the ILO is taking place.

The LP tokens remain locked on the exchange for a specified period, deterring any project from prematurely withdrawing the funds.

Interestingly, Unicrypt is the only network and browser that facilitates the locking of funds while also providing liquidity migration to Uniswap V3 once they are live.

All liquidity lockers are set up to boost investor confidence by providing users with comprehensive details about each project, such as lapsing date and total value locked (TVL).

Ushering in the Era of Decentralized Presales

Unicrypt recently heralded the era of decentralized presales with its new decentralized Launchpad. Unveiled in Jan 2021, the platform seeks to counter the continued loss of trust in DeFi.

New DeFi Projects wishing to start their journey on the fully decentralized, autonomous, and scalable Launchpad get the best possible environment where they can gain instant investor trust. This is due to the Unicrypt whitelisted auditors who safeguard users against suspicious activities by vetting new projects listed on the presale platform.

What’s more, projects looking to establish themselves in the growing DeFi space can leverage Unicrypt for funding, promotion, and support while sidestepping strict scrutiny obligated by centralized launchpads.

As always, investors are advised to do their own research on the ventures they wish to put their money into just as they would on Uniswap.

The Unicrypt automated and open Launchpad is arguably the easiest presale platform in the DeFi space, allowing any project to establish itself on a fair and autonomous ecosystem.

The next big project to launch on the Unicrypt ETH chain, NEXT, is scheduled to start its public sale on March 6th.

Decentralized finance is the latest booming development in the cryptocurrency space, with DEXes snowballing. DeFi Yield Protocol (DYP) is a unique protocol that allows any user to provide liquidity, get ETH as returns while maintaining the token price. Unlike some DeFi user interfaces, the DYP interface is quite simple and can accommodate both new and experienced yield farmers.

DYP was launched in the third quarter of 2020 and has grown significantly since then. The company currently has more than $ 56 million in Total Locked Value (TVL) and has paid a total of 4,769.41 ETH ($6,326,052) to liquidity providers during the period. Investors can earn up to 100.14 ETH in just 24 hours, making it one of the best farming protocols out there. The coming month, March, will see DYP bring significant updates to its platform. Here's what you should expect:

DYP Earn Vault

The DYP earn vault is an automated yield farming contract. For a deposited particular token, the protocol automates a yield farming plan of action by transferring provider funds between the highest profit platform generators. The feature will go live between 20 March and the 25th.

75% of the profits will be converted into ETH and distributed to liquidity providers. In comparison, the remaining 25% will buy back the protocol's governance token to increase liquidity and maintain token price stability.

DYP earn vault offers support for five tokens, including ETH, WBTC, USDC, USDT, and DAI. Liquidity providers can use their tokens for 3, 30, 60, 90, and 120 days.

New Staking Pools on PancakeSwap

According to the DYP roadmap, in the first quarter of 2020, they listed adding staking pools.

PancakeSwap prides itself on being faster and cheaper than Uniswap. The decentralized application (Dapp) introduced in late 2020 has grown to become one of the largest in BSC. It is in direct competition to other well-known projects such as Uniswap and Sushiswap.

By leveraging PancakeSwap, users can take advantage of all DeFi features from token swapping, staking, farming to NFT. It offers an automated market maker (AMM) working under a smart contract and opens up the world for consumers to enjoy a large and attractive world of DeFi. The relationship with Binance offers the decentralized exchange an extensive network of assets, scalable, and low fees.

DYP Tools

Users should expect more DYP tools from 25 March – 30 March, including custom DEX tools dashboard and DEX project information for DYP DEX users. The tools put together open-source data cached from the latest liquidity providers and decentralized exchanges (DEX). The information will be available on the custom DEX tools dashboard hence helping the investors make informed decisions to see maximized yields.

The DYP tools will also be linked to Uniswap, enabling users to view and explore pools/pairs on the exchange and access trading charts and DEX real-time info for all listed projects.

By tapping into the DYP liquidity locker, the tools will generate a 100% decentralized trust score. The trust score is computed based on general criteria, including a project's contract security audits and liquidity on Uniswap.

Ethereum Mining Pool

One of the events planned for the first quarter of 2021 is implementing the ETH Mining Pool created with an investment of over $ 1 million.

Participants in the ETH mining pool stand to receive a monthly bonus of 10% of ETH monthly income. For example, if the ETH price is $ 1000, the DYP price is $ 5, and the user's estimated monthly income is 1 ETH, then each address of the miner who interacts with the DYP smart contract will receive one monthly bonus of 20 DYP tokens worth 100 US dollars.

To claim monthly DYP tokens, users must first join the DYP set, no fee ETH mining pool. With this, they get to earn more ETH monthly.

The ETH mining fund and yield farming provide all miners with a monthly DYP bonus of 10% + 0% mining fees. The mining pool bonuses pay a maximum amount of DYP with a Price Impact of -2.5%.

The DYP team is waiting to achieve 250 GH/s; the Hashrate to roll out a mining pool. So far, the protocol has managed 35 GH/s Hashrate from miners.

DYP Lending

Next up is DYP lending that is expected anytime from 20 April – 25 April. Using smart contracts in projects allows consumers to pool their assets and distribute them to borrowers, using the credit rules set out in the contract.

With DYP lending, consumers can borrow or lend DYP tokens in a completely decentralized manner. Consumers who wish to become lenders send their tokens to a specific money market and receive interest on their tokens depending on the APY. Automatically, the platform calculates it when the smart contract converts DYP to ETH at 00:00 UTC.

New CEX Listing and Bridge Between BSC and ETH

The DYP platform hopes to issue its tokens on more exchanges. Last year it made its first listing on Uniswap as it is the leading DEX exchange for DeFi projects with high real liquidity. According to DYP, it is sure that more CEX exchanges will come. DYP has said that the top 50 exchanges have contacted them for listing.

The DYP team has also launched a bridge that will allow users to switch DYP between the Binance Smart Contracts (BSC) and the Ethereum Networks.

As an Ethereum based platform, DYP users enjoy maximum interoperability in the market. You can use your token on other DeFi platforms that support this unique financial instrument. You can also store your DYP tokens in an ERC-20 compatible wallet.

Summing Up

With the ongoing updates, we can expect the protocol to receive more attention from the crypto community. For the rest of the year, the protocol expects to launch a new Ethereum mining pool after Ethereum moves to PoS to provide built-in insurance for all DYP liquidity providers and further extension and project growth in different areas.

DeFi Yield Protocol aims to handle whale manipulation and impermanent loss and make the space more accessible to a larger pool of users. Its solutions also aim to automate the yield farming process, providing optimal returns for liquidity providers, which are the industry's cornerstone.

The crypto world has vastly grown over the past few years, both in value and number of assets. At the time of writing, coinmarketcap tracks over 8,500 cryptocurrencies, and the total crypto market capitalization exceeds $1.5 trillion. 

The crypto-sphere is growing rapidly. Somewhere along the way, the user experience was forgotten. These days, entering the crypto space requires the user to navigate several applications. They need a wallet to store the private keys and a crypto exchange platform, and a way to buy crypto with their fiat currency. The complexity of the processes makes it difficult for anyone to enter the market, even experienced traders. 

These complexities lead to increased user error, with the loss of cryptocurrencies far too common. Beyond that, the current process is cumbersome and unattractive to most.

Cryptocurrency is a revolutionary technology, but without paying attention to the user, its ability to change our financial institutions is weakened. The Divi Project seeks to change this by creating a payment platform that puts users front and center. 

The Divi Ecosystem

The Divi ecosystem is a payment platform laser-focused on the user experience. Its main aim is to create a consolidated network of financial services that provides frictionless payments. By focusing on the user and providing an easy, cheap, fast, and secure way to transfer funds, The Divi Project ensures that everyone can participate in this more equitable financial system. 

The Divi Blockchain

The Divi Ecosystem relies upon its novel blockchain to create a secure environment for its users. There are a few ways in which Divi’s blockchain supports their ‘crypto made easy’ mission. 

Humanized protocol - The blockchain focuses on using addresses easily identifiable with humans. For instance, it uses the username, email address, and personal photo as part of the account's details and metadata instead of a long string of text. 

Efficiency- Duplication in the blockchain is a serious issue leading to blockchain bloat and reduced network speed. However, the Divi blockchain avoids duplication by leveraging the milestone system, where a milestone has to be hit for another event to start. This leads to a faster blockchain and faster transactions. 

Security- The blockchain is an immutable ledger and fosters complete transparency. Immutability, consensus, and transparency help maintain a secure network for all users. 

Interoperability- The Divi blockchain is interoperable with other applications and protocols. This interoperability will make it easy for users to connect with different platforms in the future. 

Divi Nodes- The blockchain uses the MOCCI (masternode one-click cloud install). This allows anyone to run a masternode with zero technical knowledge. These mastenodes help in the validation and verification of transactions, thus securing the entire Divi network. Making this process easy for all is a big part of Divi’s mission. 

The Divi Coin

Divi is its own unique coin, with the genesis block launching on September 27, 2018. These coins are minted using a proof of stake consensus mechanism. There are currently 2,163,540,048 Divi in circulation. However, the platform has not set a maximum number of coins for platform. The Divi Project understands that a managed inflationary model leads to greater price stability, which aids adoption. 

The Divi Wallet

The Divi coin can currently be stored in a desktop wallet. However, with the mobile wallet currently in beta testing, users will soon have an exciting new way to interact with Divi. The Divi Wallet is everything you’d expect from a financial application but is powered by blockchain technology. 

Storing Coins: Divi provides a decentralized option for storing your crypto assets' private keys. Using this platform, you don't have to keep your assets in other unsafe wallets and custodial solutions.

Earn with Divi Wallet: The wallet provides income-earning opportunities in return for securing the network. Stakers and Divi Nodes help secure the network and earn Divi for doing so. Proof of stake consensus relies on the users working together to ensure the blockchain remains healthy. 

Exchange: The exchange of currencies within the Divi Wallet is simple. Users will be able to store and exchange both Fiat and Crypto within the wallet. There will be no need for centralized exchanges or third-party solutions. 

Track Your Performance: The Divi wallet will show balances and rewards earned, all on one user-friendly dashboard.

Divi Debit Card: The Divi Wallet will bridge the gap between crypto and the real world with the Divi Debit card. Soon, you will be able to pay for goods and services with your crypto. Anytime, anywhere!

Staking in Divi

Staking involves the validation of transactions by the network users, who earn rewards for doing so. In a process known as proof of stake consensus, the wallets check the transactions to verify the source and authenticity. Often a required number of wallets must agree that a transaction is valid. This is often a 50% +1 wallet. When this happens, the consensus has been reached, the transaction is completed, and a new block is created. 

Using the Divi wallet app, a user can easily stake and earn an income to secure the network. Currently, the minimum number of coins required to start staking in the Divi network is 10,000 $Divi. A wallet with an even higher amount of coins stands to earn even greater rewards. The current APR is 27.8%. 

The Divi Lottery

Unique to cryptocurrency is the Divi Project’s weekly lottery. When a block is created, 50 coins are allocated to the lottery fund, and when the number of blocks reaches 10,080, the lottery cycle completes. Every week over 500,000 $Divi assets are distributed to 11 users of the lottery section. 252,000 Divi is awarded to one winner, and the other ten winners receive 25,200 Divi. 

Masternodes Tiers

There are five different tiers for running masternodes on the Divi platform. Here are the tiers;

Copper Tier- This option requires a minimum of 100k DIVI at a monthly hosting cost of $10. The return on investment for Copper tier users is 20.7%.

Silver-tier- The silver tier requires a minimum of 300,000 Divi. Its monthly hosting cost is $10, and the expected ROI is 22.6%.

Gold tier- The gold tier requires a minimum of 1 million DIVI, at 23.6% ROI. 

Platinum tier- this tier requires a minimum of 3 million DIVI for $15 monthly. The estimated ROI is 24.7%. 

Diamond tier- This is by far the highest rewarding tier in the Divi platform. A user is required to have at least 10 million DIVI.

Divi Labs 

The Divi Project is focused on providing solutions and increasing its user base. The founders created Divi Labs to develop Divi ecosystem internal tools, such as the Divi Wallet. The Divi Project remains open-source and not-for-profit. Divi Labs, however, is the private for-profit organization associated with the project. 

RiDivi

Divi Labs owns a Costa Rican remittance company. The benefits that RiDivi brings to the ecosystem include;

The creation of debit cards for users

IBAN accounts for all its users

Easy fiat wire transfers globally

Easy one-click crypto to fiat exchanges.

The purchase of this financial technology allows Divi better bridge the gap between traditional finance and cryptocurrency. 

Final Word

Cryptocurrencies are complicated to use in their current form. Divi is here to make the process as easy as possible whilst maintaining security and decentralization. By providing a world-class, decentralized, easy-to-use crypto payment platform, Divi seeks to change the way people use their currencies. With the imminent release of their mobile wallet, the future is bright for the Divi Project.

Non-fungible tokens are tokens based on the Ethereum network released to represent some digital piece of art. These tokens are unique in that each of them has special characteristics and cannot be exchanged 1 for 1. The launch of NFTs happened in 2017, and ever since then, the NFT creation world has vastly grown.

As digital assets, they aim to create scarcity and digital ownership. Moreover, they provide interoperability across multiple platforms. They are common in the art and games industry. Due to the vast Ethereum growth and wide adoption of the crypto world, with large companies like Tesla investing in BTC, digital assets have a massive opportunity. As such, investors should know which NFTs are most likely to shine in 2021.

Rarible

Rarible is an Ethereum blockchain-based platform for NFT. By designation, the platform helps users create, trade quickly, and collect blockchain secured digital items. This platform is home to thousands of pieces of art, around 20 thousand creators and collectors. The Rarible governance token is $Rari.

The platform is community-driven and possesses unique features like flexible royalties, Rari rewards, auction functions, multiple minting, unlockable items, and many others.

The platform is also highly user-friendly. The users can easily create single and multiple collectibles, set the properties, details, and royalties to earn rewards.

The Falcon Project

The Falcon Project is an entire ecosystem that runs on two blockchains at the same time and includes three interchangeable chains.

The first chain is the ERC-20 (FNT), which is convenient and familiar to all of us, both users and developers.

The second chain is an NFT (Voucher), for the storage of which you will receive a guaranteed profit of up to 40% per annum in FNT tokens.

The third chain is the coin (FNC), which optionally allows performing anonymous transactions.

In addition, the Falcon Project provides a solution as Proof of Ownership for using NFT certificates for collectibles. The purpose of this platform's introduction is to step into the rare collectible industry, comics, etc.

A unique QR code is embedded in each product, and when scanned, the blockchain stores the product. Since the NFTs represent ownership of these products, a user can claim rare collectibles any day.

The silver souvenir coin is the first proof of the Falcon ownership model, with the coin holders receiving an NFT certificate.

Async Network

Shrimpy is a next-generation trading system that has investors excited. This automated account management platform enables users to copy professional Binance traders in real-time. The platform utilizes a clean UI experience to simplify the entire investment process and gives new investors valuable insight into the market.

Cross Exchange Monitoring

In the Shrimpy environment, there are group leaders and followers. Leaders are the traders that followers copy their trades from. On most social trading platforms, the leader of a group needs to post their trades in the group to notify people of their maneuvers. Shrimpy provides automation options for these processes.

Shrimpy also allows the leader to share trades from across any of their supported exchanges. One of these exchanges is Binance, the world’s top exchange in terms of volume. Binance provides investors with a huge ecosystem of tokens and coins.

Benefits of Copying Expert Binance Traders

There are endless reasons why you would want to duplicate expert traders on Binance. For one, Binance has a huge selection of coins and tokens. It takes a significant investment in time to gain an in-depth understanding of all the projects on the platform at this time.

Finding a Binance Group Leader

Shrimpy simplifies the leadership selection process via its Social Leaderboard. Here you can see a list of all the leaders available to follow and their relevant stats. You can see how each leader manages their portfolio and what platforms they prefer. Find a Binance trader who exhibits the skills and profits you desire and click on the “Follow Leader” button on the top right of their profile to start copying the leader’s trades.

The leader’s profile page is where you can add them to your chat and speak with them directly. Notably, there are also leader chat rooms available to speak with professionals. The main thing to notice is if your favorite Binance trader has chosen to have Shrimpy automate their trading or if they are using a manual strategy.

If the trader uses a manual strategy, Shrimpy will notify you of every trade and you will need to manually duplicate their trades as well. Reversely, if they utilize Shrimpy automation, you will also enjoy full automation.

Once you find the Binance trader who fits your strict investment criteria, you can select Start to begin the automation system. Importantly, all automation is based on the allocations of your trade leader. Whenever they execute a trade, your portfolio will duplicate it. If you wish to stop automation, you will need to select Stop manually.

How Shrimpy Works

To accomplish this task, Shrimpy's protocol monitors the leader’s trading activity across all exchanges. The system scans in 1-minute intervals. Each scan checks the leader’s balances for any changes that occurred. This includes trades that occur outside the Shrimpy ecosystem. These changes are immediately sent to each follower. Notably, you will need to also manually copy the new allocations if your leader is set to manual.

Responsive

Shrimpy is so successful because of its unmatched responsiveness. The minute by minute coverage ensures that you don't miss out on any ROI. In today’s volatile market, this is the only strategy that provides you with up-to-date data. The system also supports features such as portfolio rebalancing to keep your ROI on point.

Shrimpy Eliminates Binance Trade Groups

Until recently, all copy trading platforms were nothing more than social groups. A trader would post their trades for the group to see and those that wanted to, and paid attention, could copy. Eventually, these groups became paid groups with leaders promising higher rewards.

Despite their popularity, these groups were plagued with limitations. For one, paid group followers had no way to monitor trades that were not posted in the group. This means that a leader could trade in a different style than they would normally and expose followers to more risk. The other issue was that these groups required constant monitoring. If you missed a trading post, you probably missed your profits.

Along Came Shrimpy

Shrimpy eliminates the need for trade groups. The platform was among the first to introduce a true portfolio automation system that offered trade copying services. Impressively, Shrimpy offers support for 16 cryptocurrency exchanges with hundreds of different cryptocurrencies.

Shrimpy gained popularity due to multiple factors including its simple and intuitive interface that displays all the most relevant trading data you need at a glance. You can easily create and manage indexes using Shrimpy as well. Also, the platform allows you to add digital assets to your portfolio via a cold storage feature.

Leaders get More Power

Shrimpy pays leaders for each follower they gain. It also allows leaders to utilize the most advanced trading tools available. Recognizing the growing use of third-party trading bots, Shrimpy allows leaders to utilize these services as well. Users gain access to the true trading practices of their group leader when using Shrimpy.

Shrimpy Makes Binance More Profitable

Using Shrimpy’s system, new traders can see higher ROIs without increasing their risk exposure. Best of all, once you gain enough experience to trade on your own, you can repay the favor and become a leader. You can even choose to donate your trading data to the market to help those who are just starting.

Shrimpy pays leaders $4 per follower they gain. Every ten followers is $40 deposited directly into your Shrimpy wallet. You can gain an extra passive income just by letting new traders copy your trades on Shrimpy.

Shrimpy is the New Standard

It’s hard to see why any new trader wouldn’t choose to start their career on Shrimpy. Shrimpy makes investing on Binance easier than ever and helps you to maximize your returns. It’s easy to envision a day very soon where Shrimpy is the norm for Binance traders. For now, interested users can start profiting using Shrimpy today.

Savvy crypto investors understand that keeping your crypto holdings private is the best defense against any would-be threats in the market. Discretion is your friend when it comes to stacking stats safely. For most people, it’s easy to not run around town bragging about your vast Bitcoin holdings. However, there are other ways that thieves can track down your balances.

One of the most popular ways to monitor transactions is through the use of block explorers. In Bitcoin’s earliest days, people believed that it provided anonymity. However, it is now known that Bitcoin is not anonymous at all. What changed? The first thing that altered was the level of understanding people have about this cryptocurrency.

Additionally, the entrance of blockchain analysis firms altered the landscape considerably. For the first time in crypto history, anyone could pay a firm to unravel the identity and transaction history of Bitcoin accounts. At first, these services were used primarily by government agencies and regulators. However, nowadays, anyone can pay these firms to discover your identity.

What Can You Do to Protect Your Bitcoin

The open and transparent nature of Bitcoin makes it very difficult to hide your network transactions under normal circumstances. Luckily, the introduction of powerful Bitcoin mixing protocols has given some relief to those privacy-minded investors as of late. Bitcoin mixers integrate various wallets, transactions, and pools to make it nearly impossible to unearth your identity.

What is a Bitcoinmix.org

Bitcoinmix.org is a leading Bitcoin mixing platform. This protocol provides users with a streamlined mixing experience that integrates enterprise-level strategies to obfuscate your transactions. The platform earned a reputation as one of the top service providers due to its robust functionality and reputable track record.

Bitcoinmix.org is the easiest way to anonymize your Bitcoin. The platform removes all technical barriers to the process and introduces an interactive interface that simplifies the process from start to finish. Here is how Bitcoinmix.org provides you with the added protection you desire.

How Bitcoinmix.org Works

Even though the front end of Bitcoinmix.org looks simplistic, the backend is built upon advanced mixing protocols designed to keep you safe. The platform operates a Bitcoin Blender. This protocol sends your Bitcoin into a large transaction pool. This pool features Bitcoin gathered from transactions from all over the world.

The Bitcoin in the mixing pool is also sent through a variety of different wallets and transactions. These varying transactions also feature varying amounts. You will also need to determine your mixing time. The longer you wait, the better your results. In the end, you receive fresh clean Bitcoin that has never been associated with you.

Why You Need to Use Bitcoinmix.org

It’s a common misconception by new investors that they have no need to mix their Bitcoin. For some, they feel that because they are not doing anything wrong, they have nothing to hide. Unfortunately, there is nothing further from the truth. Here are the top reasons why you need to utilize Bitcoinmix.org on every Bitcoin you own.

Theft

The top reason to mix your Bitcoin is to protect your holdings. There is a troubling trend in the market that involves thieves researching large Bitcoin wallet addresses. Once these thieves know your identity they can go to great lengths to get their hands on your crypto.

Scammers

For example, there are cases of hackers spending months gathering Intel on their target. Once they had enough personal information to pull off their scheme, they were able to trick the person into sending their Bitcoin to them voluntarily.

Violent Thieves

There are also plenty of examples of less graceful thieves breaking into homes and forcing the Bitcoin holder to send their crypto through force. In more than one instance, the victims were tortured for days before they gave up the information. Worst of all, they could’ve avoided the entire incident had they added Bitcoinmix.org to their security protocol.

Confiscation

It’s also wise to consider the uncertain regulatory environment of Bitcoin. As a sovereign currency, Bitcoin is not beholden to the whims of any government. Just this fact makes it a target in the eyes of many regulators. Depending on where you live, and the overall value of Bitcoin, these concerns can lead to harsh laws and even confiscations.

There are also other reasons why a government may want to confiscate your holdings. During times of great economic strife, governments are known to seize their citizen’s wealth. In the 1930s, US citizens had their gold seized by the federal government to help sure up the coffers. Those that refused to sell their gold had it forcefully removed and got some free nights in jail.

Anonymous Purchases

There are also times when you may want to make an anonymous purchase of a good or service. Anti-Bitcoiners paint these scenarios as largely illegal but research has shown that most consumers prefer private transactions. Aside from personal reasons, there are more people than ever that want to deny large tech firms the ability to track their purchases.

Donations

The crypto community is kind and compassionate. There are plenty of non-profits and helpful organizations that you may want to help privately. This list can include donations to help those less fortunate such as soup kitchens and homeless shelters. There are also political donations that are often better made in private. The current political climate is aggressive and your political donations could come back to haunt you at a later date.

Privacy is Your Right

Platforms such as Bitcoinmix.org help to secure your right to privacy. In the digital age, privacy is more important than ever. There are no more threats to your privacy than previous generations had to take into account. There are intrusive governments, large tech firms, and scamsters all attempting to find out more details about you with the end goal to relieve you of your holdings. Thankfully, Bitcoinmix.org provides users with a smarter alternative to the status quo.

Dash (DASH) is a cryptocurrency targeting the digital cash use case designed to offer everyone financial freedom. The payments-focused coin continues to see increased adoption as it facilitates the sending and receiving of payments swiftly and securely with near-zero fees.

Since it launched in 2014, the crypto has seen steady growth in value, hitting an all-time high of $1540 in Dec 2017 according to CoinMarketCap.

Dash developers built this coin based on the blockchain tech deployed by Bitcoin. However, it offers advanced functionality such as much higher transaction speeds than Bitcoin because it leverages a unique model that involves masternodes, incentivized nodes that perform special functions for the network.

Another improvement on Bitcoin is that Dash transactions can optionally be mixed making all coins equal and fungible and more difficult to trace, making them safe for consumers to use to purchase goods and services without sensitive data exposure.

The popular payments coin boasts a self-funding model that enables the network to fund any necessary improvements on the Dash technology. It also has a self-governing model that makes for a truly decentralized experience for users who can vote on any upgrades/alterations to the network's core functionality, as well as funding projects and initiatives.

Dash has introduced a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) mechanism that allows users to vote on critical decisions that determine the project's direction.

Dash Has the Edge Over Other Cryptocurrencies

Dash integrates a host of powerful features that give it an edge over other crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Litecoin.

For one, the Dash cryptocurrency blockchain builds on the bitcoin system to introduce masternodes that complement miners' work. The growing team of Dash masternodes is primarily responsible for enhancing the network's security and facilitating transaction mixing (PrivateSend).

This PrivateSend service enhances privacy in the Dash ecosystem, making it difficult to track transactions or find out users' identities and balances, protecting them from risk of becoming a target for criminal activity such as theft and extortion. This feature is built into network infrastructure itself and is a massive advantage that Dash offers over the completely public Bitcoin ecosystem, which must rely on third-party services to protect consumers.

The network also rewards masternodes for ensuring that Dash transactions are as instant as cash transactions (InstantSend). Masternodes are also in charge of the governance and treasury system.

Dash solves the inherent problem of wide consumer adoption of Bitcoin with its InstantSend feature. It takes about 10 minutes for a BTC transaction to get confirmed under ideal circumstances, an issue that threatens to derail the mass adoption of the top crypto for everyday payments.

On the other hand, Dash transactions are almost instant; on average, a transaction is confirmed by the masternode network in under 2 seconds using InstantSend, with a transaction becoming entirely permanent and irreversible within about 2.5 minutes thanks to the ChainLocks advanced security feature .

Therefore, Dash improves on the Bitcoin network's scalability by prioritizing on-chain scaling facilitated by a seamless and fully-incentivized infrastructure, with university research conducted specially for Dash showing that the network can handle transaction loads comparable to what modern payment networks such as VISA can handle today.

Why You Should Invest in the Dash Cryptocurrency

The price of Dash has skyrocketed by almost 40% in the last week, making it one of the best performing crypto assets at the moment.

As a result of that surge, Dash currently has a market cap of over $1.6 billion as per data from CoinMarketCap. At the time of writing, the top payments-focused coin is up 11.3% to trade at $232.

DASH/USD Chart By TradingView

The recent spike in the DASH/USD pair has excited the crypto community on Twitter, with one user calling for the price to soar as high as $1,000.

Per the latest report from the Dash Core Group, the Dash cryptocurrency posted impressive growth in 2020. The blockchain network saw the total volume of payments reach $916 million, up 80% from 2019.

The Q4 2020 results highlighted a massive growth in average trade volumes from $9.8M to $37.4M, representing a 282% year-over-year jump. Commercial payment values on the Dash network also saw a tremendous increase, soaring 37.3% year-over-year and surpassing 22,000 transactions per day.

Dash Core Group also revealed that Dash adoption as a digital payment method across retail stores was rising. They noted that the payments coin outperformed BTC in terms of the number of retailers accepting digital payments in the US in January.

Enhanced merchant adoption, along with the current strong market and technical fundamentals, make Dash one of the most lucrative crypto investments to keep an eye on in 2021.
