Dear Community:We wanted to share today with you all the latest developments of the Essentia public engagement. It has definitely been a busy 24 hours - with over 10,000 transactions from 1000 contributors in the first hour alone. In that massive inflow of contributions, we noticed that there were a significant proportion of transactions that failed. We immediately looked into the root cause of the high failure rate and discovered a small bug on line 193 of the smart contract that didn’t allow for most of the transactions to pass, resulting in, an initially high rate of failed transactions wherein the ETH was returned to the contributor.
Yesterday, we stood in solidarity with our community and stated our commitment to run an airdrop for contributors who had more than 10 failed transactions. Today, we want to take it one step further and add weight to our words.
We will run an airdrop of ESS to all whitelisted addresses that will contribute to the Essentia crowdsale.
We’ve now come out with a
new smart contract, currently deployed inside the member area, where now you can contribute normally - without having the limitation of sending less than half your balance each time. Please visit
https://profile.essentia.one to get started!
Last but not least,
we will temporarily re-open registration and KYC via https://profile.essentia.one.
We are absolutely humbled by our community's vote of confidence and their valued contributions during the TGE, in spite of the bug in the smart contract.
Thank you all once again for your continued support and we can't wait to bring our technological revolution to the world, together.You can read the full update at
