Shifting into ‘Lite’speed: DeFiChain Launches Litecoin Liquidity Mining

Bitcoin Press Release: DeFiChain and Litecoin Foundation strike an agreement to offer Liquidity Mining for the popular cryptocurrency on the DeFiChain platform. DeFiChain users can earn up to two DFI per LTC block mined using the DeFiChain desktop application.

 

11th February 2021, Singapore: DeFiChain, the world’s leading blockchain on the Bitcoin network devoted to decentralised monetary applications, has today announced that Liquidity Mining with full rewards will be available with LTC on the DeFiChain platform. Following a successful one-week testing period, the Liquidity Mining program on DeFiChain will award two DFI coins — DeFiChain’s native digital currency — for every block mined.

 

By adding Liquidity Mining capabilities for LTC, one of the most popular cryptocurrencies in the world, the platform highlights its commitment to delivering more opportunities, options and diversity for its users, and adds to the existing suite of benefits provided to its users.

 

“Litecoin is one of the most popular and widely used cryptocurrencies in the world, and we are delighted to be partnering with them to offer Liquidity Mining for Litecoin on DeFiChain. Liquidity Mining on DeFiChain allows market making to be done in a fair and transparent manner” 

 

Said Julian Hosp, Chairman of DeFiChain. He continued:

 

“In order for it to be used by such a vast community, it has to be highly liquid and available in multiple markets. The integration and availability of LTC on the DeFiChain platform gives users another option, thereby empowering holders of the cryptocurrency to provide measurable, beneficial liquidity and earn rewards in return.” 

 

DeFiChain’s DEX (decentralised exchange) offers fast transaction speeds, low fees, low transaction fees, high security, and a fully decentralised trading environment. On DeFiChain, a gamut of Litecoin holders can utilise their holdings and computing resources to provide liquidity and earn sizable returns in the process.

 

Jay Milla from Litecoin Foundation said: 

 

“This marks the beginning of a new era for LTC, being available on one of the world’s fastest growing decentralised platforms. DeFiChain’s mission, to provide fast, intelligent and transparent financial services is aligned to our own. Throughout the years, Litecoin has continued to grow to become an industry leader, as one of the oldest and most widely utilized and traded cryptocurrencies. It continues to maintain its position within the top cryptocurrencies ranked by market capitalisation.”

 

DeFiChain, one of the leading blockchains built upon the Bitcoin’s network infrastructure, which democratises market making and liquidity provisions by empowering its rapidly growing community. With this partnership, traders and investors, both retail and institutional, will be able to earn rewards based on the actual, measurable liquidity they create for Litecoin, which in this case, equates to two DFI per block mined. 

 

To access LTC-DFI Liquidity Mining pools on DeFiChain, simply download the DeFiChain desktop app from https://defichain.com/downloads/, deposit DFI to the DEX to swap part of it for LTC, then select “Liquidity” from the menu on the left-hand side and the “+” symbol under “Add or remove liquidity” to select the amount to add. It couldn’t be easier.

Stratis Brings Blockchain as a Service to All Businesses via its C# Native Platform

Bitcoin Press Release: Stratis release details of their Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) platform, which will bring blockchain to mainstream companies via Azure Cloud.

 

7th January 2021, London, United Kingdom – Stratis was created for a simple purpose – to provide enterprises with blockchain as a service (BaaS) solutions, designed to implement complex blockchain architecture within mainstream coding languages, used by everyday companies away from the crypto niche. 

 

It does this through cloud solutions, support for C# and .NET application building, alongside tool customization via its open source protocol. The result of this? Stratis unlocks the power of blockchain technology for mainstream businesses, and unlocks the mainstream market for the blockchain industry – Two powerful combinations.

 

Enterprises that find themselves relying on the Stratis tool set will access a less expensive and less complex blockchain building framework. Companies no longer need to purchase and manage their own full nodes, nor do they need to build a blockchain infrastructure from scratch – Something which is niche and represents a huge barrier to entry by setup cost to all but the largest of companies. Moreover, businesses in need of smart contract support will be pleased to find that Stratis supports virtual machines via Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform.

 

Stratis – Tailored with Perfection

Stratis holds several key values that make it an optimal choice for blockchain operations – decentralization, privacy, scalability, practicality, accessibility, reliability, security, and performance. To better understand this, Stratis blockchains run a number of cloud-based full nodes, so decentralization is assured. Privacy is guaranteed – through cryptographic encryption, all transactions and communications remain private. Stratis is also keen on providing an adaptable degree of scalability, achieved through the means of intuitive sidechain usage. 

 

Companies looking to leverage the power of smart contracts must know that Stratis is the only platform providing support for C# execution, so developers can efficiently code self-enforcing programs utilising their existing development tools and existing knowledge of a rich and versatile programming language. Stratis is also working on facilitating cross-chain communication between contracts running within Stratis’ ecosystem and those deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, hence increasing their suitability for today’s interconnected world.

 

STRAX Swap on Binance

In September 2020, the team introduced STRAX, a more powerful protocol designed to flawlessly integrate within the platform’s existing business model. Previously-minted STRAT tokens have been swapped to STRAX tokens on a 1:1 basis via Binance. Following the shift, Stratis will introduce a series of other advanced features, such as the STRAX SideChain, Stratis InterFlux, SegWit support, cold-staking, the DeFi app library, IoT development tools, and many others. 

 

Since STRAX is based on the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, network participants can receive token-based rewards in exchange for staking their STRAX tokens. Stratis is well-aware of the security risks posed by hot wallet storage, so the team has decided to use cold-staking for ideal token security.  

 

2021 – The Year for Stratis & BaaS 

In Q1 2021, Stratis will launch the Unity Development Kit (allowing the integration of NFTs and decentralized identities within the gaming ecosystem), the DeFi Software Library (a catalogue of C# standardized smart contracts), the Stratis DAO (a means of funding next-gen developments via voting), the Stratis System Contracts (introducing on-chain logic and simplifying user-driven processes), and the mobile wallet featuring token support (supporting tokens issued on the Cirrus Sidechain). 

 

In Q2 2021, Stratis will launch the Python Development Kit (allowing Python coders to build on Stratis), the IoT Development Kit (meant to introduce Stratis solutions to IoT hardware), a new version of Proof-of-Stake (boasting improved security and additional features), Stratis Oracles (a distributed means of accessing off-chain data), and Dex Mobile Support (allowing mobile trading of SRC20 tokens). 

 

In Q4 2021, Stratis will launch Ethereum Interoperability (known as InterFlux, this will enable usage of wrapped STRAX tokens on the Ethereum chain), alongside the STO & Digital Asset Platform (providing the tools needed to manage token offerings). 

 

With so much happening last year ,and so much on the horizon, 2021 looks like a promising year for Stratis. Click here to Find out more about how Stratis is changing the world one blockchain at a time.

GoldenPyrex Ushers in the Next Era in DeFi with a Robust Ecosystem

Bitcoin Press Release: Golden Pyrex (GPYX) announce details of their DeFi platform enabling yield farming, gaming, and NFTs.

 

17th December, 2020, Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan – Despite the exponential growth of the DeFi market throughout 2020, the industry is now dealing with a short-term plateau, as the market matures and projects are put to the test. Indeed, innovative use cases like governance, yield farming, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) will play an essential role in the future’s economy, but not all of them will survive. 

 

GoldenPyrex Is Building a Sustainable and Independent Token Ecosystem

A key reason behind failing projects is their improper liquidity assurance. Tokens require liquidity to strive, and this is normally generated via third-party trading. However, a key principle of the crypto market is to reduce friction caused by intermediaries, thereby increasing simplicity. 

 

With these aspects in mind, GoldenPyrex’s ecosystem was built to facilitate convergent GPYX token circulation. As a gaming and entertainment platform, the project integrates GDEX, G-SWAP, and GameHouse within a closed-loop ecosystem that eliminates unnecessary intermediaries, while facilitating access to quality services.

 

GoldenPyrex holds a significant value proposition. Its core purpose is to provide users with next-gen DeFi solutions that power yield farming, gaming, and NFTs. To put this into perspective, the project is currently rolling out a series of unique NFTs designed to facilitate the acquisition and customization of rare collectibles. Such NFTs are extremely hyped nowadays, as the market advances and collectible-centered economies are sprouting up everywhere.

 

The GoldenPyrex ecosystem will feature its very own marketplace, where users can essentially transact the GYPX utility token in exchange for a myriad of neat collectibles. Thanks to these stores, the token’s market liquidity will further increase. 

 

Highlighting the Use Cases Associated with the GoldenPyrex Token

To capture a larger portion of the total available market (TAT), the GoldenPyrex ecosystem is investing considerable resources into building a massive use case catalog. As such, some of GPYX’s use cases include, but are not limited to yield pool farming, paying GameHouse commissions, purchasing GameHouse tournament/VIP club tickets, staking, community governance voting, and much more. 

 

It’s imperative to point out that with GoldenPyrex, DeFi enthusiasts worldwide can essentially earn via a high-utility token. This is better explained through a press statement made by Ilyas Sadvasakov, the founder of GPYX: 

 

“GoldenPyrex is making it easier and realizable for DeFi enthusiasts to merge multiutility with the ability to earn in a secured manner. With rewards already set for our loyal followers to earn from farming yield on supported pools, we are confident we are unlocking a new evolution in the convergence between the several components of modern DeFi such as Yield Farming, NFTs, and the ability for the GPYX token holders to also explore the world of Games within the Gamehouse platform”

 

The Golden Pyrex ecosystem wouldn’t have been possible without support from the Kazakhstan Government, as highlighted by Ilyas: 

 

“We are indebted to Kazakhstan Government and Astana International Financial Centre both of which have been taking smart steps to support entrepreneurs in the blockchain and decentralized finance area. It’s quite evident in the enabling environment they have provided to Bitcoin miners. Kazakhstan ranks number 4 in terms of Bitcoin mining contributing largely to Bitcoin network’s hash rate.”

 

GPYX – Service Overview

The GoldenPyrex ecosystem encourages the use of GPYX tokens amongst its three main services – yield farming, gaming, and the upcoming exchange. Within the yield farming interface, users can earn GPYX tokens in exchange for staking Uniswap LP tokens. The gaming interface now supports GPYX-based poker, which is an excellent means of earning additional tokens. 

 

An innovative PoolPicker game will be launched in the near future. Lastly, the upcoming exchange will allow users to swap GPYX tokens in exchange for other popular assets. The exchange will also come along with a pool, governance, and bridge features, as part of GoldenPyrex’s all-inclusive system philosophy. GoldenPyrex is poised to continue enhancing its service catalog, creating lucrative use case scenarios of the GPYX token. 

 

Project Roadmap

The 4th quarter of 2020 saw the official release of the DeFi platform, followed by the UniSwap liquidity pools launch, and the introduction of GameHouse. GoldenPyrex is actively working on updating its interface and introduction new features. With this being said, during the 1st quarter of 2021, the GPYX token will be listed on the top 30 exchanges featured on CoinMarketCap. 

 

Furthermore, the GameHouse and Yield Farming will see new features and improvements following a scheduled update. During the 2nd quarter of 2021, GoldenPyrex will release GameHouse on mobile devices and launch GoldenBay, as well as the staking contract. 

 

Obtaining GPYX 

GoldenPyrex has built a liquidity farming system to govern the minting of GPYX tokens. However, users who are not keen on farming can always purchase GPYX through secure partner exchanges like UniSwap, Coinsbit, and STEX. In fact, Coinsbit has recently listed GPYX and supports trading against BTC, ETH, and USDT.
