Flowchain Set to Launch DEXG ‘LUNA’ Staking Round

Published

on

The DEXToken Protocol continues on schedule towards its December 2020 public Beta release date. This unique decentralized platform plays a vital role in the Flowchain ecosystem. Specifically, the DEXToken Protocol builds a decentralised exchange platform featuring an unique AMM and effectively connecting Flowchain IoT ecosystems to decentralized finance. 

Staking is a Feature Users Require 

Staking is a blockchain-related process that involves a user locking their cryptocurrency in a smart contract for an agreed amount of time. Stakers receive rewards for their services. There are various reasons to stake cryptocurrencies.

8-Rounds to Stake

In the DEXToken protocol, staking is how the firm increases liquidity. DEXToken does away with initial coin offerings and instead introduces DEXG staking. The firm plans to host eight staking rounds in total. The next round, named LUNA, is set to begin on October 23, 2020. Users that participate in the event receive a respectable reward of 5,250 DEXG. 

LUNA Staking Round

The staking period for this staking event is October 23 – 30, 2020. DEXTokens AMM calculates the staking rewards for each round and mints new DEXG tokens at the start of the round. These rewards are what introduces more DEXG into the market. This approach allows DEXToken to enjoy a very predictable supply. It also allows investors to earn a substantial amount of DEXG in the form of staking rewards. 

BPT LP Token 

To participate in the event, you need to add DEXG to the Balancer shared pool. Once your funds are sent, you will receive a receipt in the form of an equivalent value of BPT LP tokens. These tokens are permanent records of your investment.

Private Alpha Release

According to company executives, DEXToken will unveil the DEX private alpha in the coming weeks in November. This release will allow a select few to experience the DEXToken protocol first hand. 

It will also allow developers to ensure that everything functions perfectly for the public beta release scheduled a month later. The team will monitor where delays occur and make corrections to streamline the platform moving forward

A Superior Platform

The DEXToken Swap Exchange provides investors with a superior UX when compared to its predecessors. The upgraded protocol allows new users to research and execute top quality trades directly from the interface.  Also, investors experience less slippage using this decentralized system.

DEXToken eliminates one of the DeFi communities’ biggest flaws. Since most DEXs don’t utilize an order book, they need some way to ensure their offerings are in line with the overall market sentiment. In the past, Oracles served very important roles. Oracles are off-chain sensors that can monitor real-world data. 

What’s an Oracle?

Oracles can send and receive this data to the network nodes. In this way, they help bridge the network limitations of blockchains and allow developers to dream up even more impressive Dapps. Despite these advantages, oracles have one flaw that may prove to be too much for the market to bear, they are centralized.

Centralization Woes

It’s not wise to have any centralized systems entering data into the blockchain. When the wrong information is sent to the blockchain, it may be impossible to delete it. Faulty oracles can make a blockchain’s data unusable. Consequently, more platforms than ever want a smart alternative to the status quo.  

AMM

The AMM (speculative’ Automated Market Maker) is an alternative to price monitoring oracles in the market. This protocol takes into account the pool liquidity levels to provide a reliable and secure method to determine the actual value of tokens within the ecosystem. 

DEXG Token

The DEXG is the governance token in the ecosystem. It’s the token that users hold to participate in voting. The token plays an essential role in providing liquidity for the swap exchange as well.

DEXToken Beta Launch Approaching

As DEXToken’s Beta launch nears, the firm has already kicked up its marketing. The project has a lot of attention at this moment. You can expect DEXToken to see more adoption as the LUNA staking round is only days away.

How Bitcoin’s price rise has increased the number of cryptocurrency payments 

Published

on

NOWPayments Announces Significant Gain in Crypto Payments

NOWPayments, a leading crypto payment gateway, is excited to announce the significaте Increase of Crypto Payments since the beginning of November. 

Why Bitcoin took a new ATH in November?

Starting in January 2024, Bitcoin’s price was around $48,717, marking a period of cautious optimism following a tumultuous 2023. Throughout the first half of the year, Bitcoin experienced significant fluctuations as market dynamics shifted, driven by regulatory developments and increased institutional interest. By November 2024, Bitcoin had reached a pivotal moment, hitting an all-time high (ATH) of $75,000 on November 8 and then surging to $89,000 shortly thereafter.

This remarkable growth didn’t go unnoticed by the business world. Companies across various industries quickly recognized the massive business opportunity Bitcoin presented. The ATH sent a clear message: Bitcoin was no longer just a speculative asset but a powerful tool for transactions, store of value, and an entry point into the broader crypto economy.

Businesses’ interest in Bitcoin grew for several reasons:

  • Increased Institutional Adoption: Major financial institutions rolled out Bitcoin-based services, providing legitimacy and opening doors for mainstream use.
  • Global Payment Integration: Bitcoin’s borderless nature appealed to businesses seeking efficient, low-cost cross-border transactions, particularly as inflation and currency instability impacted traditional fiat systems.
  • Hedge Against Inflation: As global economies faced ongoing inflationary pressures, Bitcoin became a preferred asset for protecting wealth, especially for businesses looking to diversify holdings.

Climbing to $75K

The journey to $75,000 began with a series of positive developments in the cryptocurrency market. Following the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs and increased institutional buying, Bitcoin’s price steadily climbed. On November 7, 2024, Bitcoin reached approximately $76,999 before closing at around $75,820. This surge was fueled by a bullish market sentiment as investors reacted positively to the election results and anticipated regulatory clarity under Trump’s administration.

Breaking Through $80K

Following its initial surge to $75K, Bitcoin quickly surpassed the $80,000 mark on November 10, 2024. The momentum continued as traders rushed to capitalize on the positive sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency. By this point, BTC was trading at approximately $80,976, reflecting an increase of nearly 9.64% from the previous day.

Approaching a New BTC All Time High at $90K

As of November 12, 2024, Bitcoin’s price soared to around $89,000. This represents a staggering increase within just a few days following the election and highlights the cryptocurrency’s volatility and potential for rapid gains. The combination of strong demand from both retail and institutional investors has driven BTC prices higher as they anticipate further growth.

How has the new ATH for BTC led to an increase in crypto payments?

We decided to analyse how the rise in the price of the main cryptocurrency – BTC affected the number of payments. NOWPayments team took the number of payments before the U.S. election and compared it with the data after the Trump has won. The result exceeded all expectations. Thanks to the growth of BTC from $72,729.89 to $90,750.94, the number of payments increased by as much as 8%. This significant change indicates the increased interest in cryptocurrency and the correlation of BTC price and cryptocurrency usage.

  1. Correlation Between BTC Price and Crypto Payments:

The 8% increase in the number of payments demonstrates a clear correlation between Bitcoin’s price growth and the rising adoption of cryptocurrency for transactions. As BTC’s value surged, so did user engagement with crypto payments.

  1. Increased Interest in Cryptocurrency:

The significant rise in payments highlights growing public and business interest in cryptocurrencies as a viable payment method, especially during moments of market optimism fueled by events like the U.S. election.

  1. Market Events Drive Crypto Adoption:

The post-election Bitcoin rally, combined with its ATH, underscores how political and economic events can directly impact crypto adoption, encouraging more users to explore cryptocurrency as both an investment and a practical payment tool.

Digital Assets Underinsured: Report Identifies $19 Billion Coverage Deficit, Less Than 3% Secured

Published

on

A recent report, Furthering Digital Assets 2024: Pioneering Insurance Solutions for the Web3 Era, highlights a substantial coverage gap in digital asset insurance, revealing that only 3% of digital assets are currently insured. This gap leaves billions at risk, with an estimated $19 billion in losses from fraud and security breaches since 2011.

The report emphasizes significant incidents that illustrate the vulnerability in the sector. These include a $650 million breach at Ronin in March 2022 and a $614 million loss from PolyNetwork in August 2021. As investments in digital assets increase, so does the call for comprehensive risk management solutions, particularly from institutional stakeholders.

With more than 90% of crypto hedge funds expressing a desire for mandatory insurance on exchange-based assets and around 40% of institutional investors now holding cryptocurrency, the demand for tailored insurance products is clear. Further Ventures, the report’s creator, points to a growing interest from institutions seeking ways to protect their digital assets through robust insurance policies.

The report also sheds light on recent regulatory responses. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), for example, has set mandates for digital asset custodians, requiring 50% insurance coverage on cold storage and 100% on hot wallets. Despite these initiatives, high premiums remain a challenge, with average rates around 0.5%-5% for custody insurance and 5-10% for slashing events and Directors & Officers (D&O) policies.

According to the report, addressing the insurance gap in the digital assets industry will likely require innovation in policy structure, more accessible premium rates, and a regulatory environment that supports the development of effective, comprehensive solutions. As the sector evolves, insurance options may play a critical role in fostering institutional confidence and broader adoption of digital assets.
