Council of Economic Advisors to Ring in Marshall Islands’ Final Phase to Launch First Auction of Sovereign Subscription Rights (SSRs) to its National Digital Currency
SOV Foundation Announces its Inaugurative Board and Final Steps for Public Auction on Algorand Blockchain

The Marshall Islands and the SOV Development Foundation are ushering in a groundbreaking development in decentralized finance (DeFi), which is transforming the finance industry and now one of the fastest growing sectors in crypto.


“The SOV Development Foundation has assembled a dream team of professionals in blockchain and finance to finally relieve the broken fiat banking system of its problems,” said Dr. Peter Dittus, Chairman of the SOV Development Foundation's advisory committee. “We’re honored to work together and bring the vision of true decentralized global finance to life.”

“A blockchain with proven performance is essential to this project,” said Silvio Micali, founder of Algorand. “The Algorand blockchain is not only secure, but also scales to billions of global users and its atomic swaps and other layer-1 smart contracts are purpose-built for CBDC, making it an ideal technological foundation for SOV as the Marshall Islands revolutionize the way their economy works.”

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  

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.

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.

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

 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

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...

One click staking on many projects already and AVAX will be on it soon too.

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.

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.

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!
