By aelf_blockchain | | 7 Sep 2020 DeFi has been growing exponentially since June. As of September 1st, the market cap of DeFi projects has reached a record-high $18.65 billion. According to the growth in total locked value and market cap of DeFi projects over the last two weeks, it seems the meteoric growth has given way to a more moderate rate. Following DeFi, cross-chain became all the rage. On August 22nd, DOT, Polkadot’s token, was split at a ratio of 1:100. After that, the prices of DOT began to skyrocket on major exchanges. In fact, the popularity of cross-chain was partly helped by DeFi. Although DeFi aspires to reshape the financial ecosystem, it is in a difficult situation, the main reason being the poor infrastructure. Since the end of 2017, Ethereum has been running at high capacity, and as its gas fees rise and transactions are being processed increasingly slowly, there was even the news that some star DeFi projects might consider turning to other public chains because of Ethereum’s high gas fees. In order to solve the problems faced by Ethereum 1.0, upgrading infrastructure is necessary. However, since the upgrade of Ethereum 2.0 has been delayed time and time again, and due to the complexity of sharding technology, people are turning their attention to some star cross-chain projects. In the future, the combination of cross-chain and DeFi will be the prevailing trend. What problems and difficulties is cross-chain technology facing? As of today, there have been numerous blockchains, but the information isolation of many chains has inevitably made blockchains isolated islands independent of each other. Cross-chain, as the name suggests, is aimed to build a bridge between two isolated islands, connecting different blockchains together. In practice, the problem to be solved in cross-chain is how to transfer tokens from one chain to another. This process is not only the transmission of information flow, but also the value transfer behind the information flow that needs to be accurately recorded. At present, the problems and difficulties cross-chain technology is facing are mainly in two aspects: one is how to verify the transaction status of the original chain in a distributed way, the other is how to verify cross-chain data to ensure security. Cross-chain interaction can be divided into homogeneous and heterogeneous cross-chain depending on the underlying blockchain platform. Mainstream cross-chain solutions include notary mechanism, hash locking, side chain / relay chain, and distributed private key control. Polkadot’s vision is to use a Relay chain to verify the transactions of other chains and to establish a parallel chain to realize the transaction and communication with the original chain. Cosmos is similar to Polkadot in some concepts, but it also hopes to create a heterogeneous system to solve cross-chain problems. However, the compatibility of the two chains will not be easily solved by the heterogeneous design. Aelf, which uses the side chain scheme, proposed its own cross-chain model to solve the above two difficult problems. In the cross-chain process, aelf uses a method called “indexing” to achieve cross-chain communications. Indexing refers to the transfer of data from one chain to another according to the defined structure and is the premise of any cross-chain function. Aelf also adopts the concept of “joint mining”, that is, miners can complete the indexing process on their own. This kind of design can effectively solve two problems: the first is whether a certain chain can be trusted or not. The concept of “joint mining” solves this problem in a fundamental way. It can take into account the normal running of the main-chain and side-chain, without the need to design a redundant trust mechanism. The second problem is whether data indexing is decentralized. The strategy is that the miners can complete indexing independently, and then consider the indexed data participating in the consensus verification process as common data. Therefore, the indexing process and data source of aelf are completely decentralized, which can ensure the security of indexed data. Cross-chain + DeFi For example, Telegram’s blockchain project TON was also popular for a time, being known as the combination of Ethereum 2.0, EOS and Polkadot. TON proposed an extensible multi-chain blockchain architecture and prepared a slew of network infrastructures to support various on-chain services, cryptocurrencies and applications. However, TON went belly-up in the end. Telegram terminated its blockchain project TON in May 2020, but its testnet still ran for nearly a year. In the update on July 6th, TON’s dev team announced that it would stop supporting the TON testnet, and the remaining TON validators would be shut down on August 1st. TON advised all testnet participants to save all relevant data and stop their testing process. Telegram, which raised $1.7 billion in an ICO, has failed. In the meantime, aelf has built its blockchain network with little funding which is not an easy task. Recently, aelf has updated the aelf product landscape on its website, which offers an overview of aelf’s architecture, including basic cloud environment, core services, components and instances, and scenario applications. As can be seen from the aelf product landscape, aelf has been working on DeFi for a long time. Aelf will start with AESwap and lending and strive to cover the entire DeFi ecosystem in the future. At present, Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem is relatively complete, but there are still a lot of possibilities out there. It is believed that aelf’s “cross-chain + DeFi” combination will continue to surprise the blockchain industry. Aelf has built strong technical features for DeFi that will make it better prepared for applications. First, it will increase speed and reduce costs, which is critical to user experience. Second, aelf’s cross-chain capabilities will allow assets to flow freely between chains. In addition, aelf provides a well-designed governance module for DeFi, allowing them to customize their approach and engage with the community. These features will enable DeFi to perform better on aelf. As cross-chain technology continues to develop, we may see the transition from the prosperity of a single chain to the value flow between numerous chains. In this cross-chain trend, aelf will continue to be the leader in the investment on DeFi projects and in developing the underlying technology.   — Join the Community: · Get on our Telegram Discord Slack and Kakao channel · Follow us on Twitter Reddit and Facebook · Read weekly articles on the aelf blog · Catch up with the develop progress on Github · Telegram community in 한국, 日本 ng Việt · Instagram: aelfblockchain · YouTube Channel: aelf For more information, visit aelf.io aelf_blockchain Decentralized Cloud Computing Blockchain Network aelf's official blog on Publish0x - Follow for announcements, partnerships, project updates and more!

Interoperability between different blockchains and cryptocurrency ecosystem is very difficult to achieve. By default, there is no reason to interact with competing projects. The Aelf blockchain sees things a bit differently, and its latest update may usher in a new era of communication. Communicating with and relying on third-party data from other chains and data sources is a big step forward.The Purpose of Chainlink OraclesTo achieve communication with other blockchains and data sources, Aelf will rely on a service known as Chainlink Oracles. This technology allows any connected blockchain to interact with data sources such as Google Cloud, SAP, and NASDAQ. On the cryptocurrency front, it allows a direct line of communication with Bitcoin and data. Every oracle in this ecosystem is capable of verifying data prior to submitting it to partner chains such as Aelf.As a result, the Aelf developers and enthusiasts will be able to develop a new plethora of applications and services in the future. Another benefit is how these data sources and blockchains can help strengthen the development of smart contracts in this ecosystem. A lot of potential use cases are waiting to be unlocked properly. Aelf is now also one of the very few chains which have this type of functionality, even though any project could in theory connect with these Chainlink oracles.Communication Isnt InteroperabilityOn the surface, this new implementation would seemingly provide Aelf with interoperability regarding data sources and other blockchains. In reality, however, that situation is very different. It is true these oracles will allow the different entities to communicate with one another to obtain and verify data and information. However, this level of communication is not sufficient to speak of interoperability at this time.That doesnt mean the Aelf team doesnt want to achieve a degree of interoperating with Btcoin, Ethereum, or other blockchains. Building such a framework will require a lot of time and effort. By experimenting with Chainlink oracles, an important first step is taken to potentially achieve that goal. Based on the feedback gathered from this venture, the team can further look into making their chain interoperable with other blockchains on the market today. It will take years, if not decades, until all blockchains in the industry can interoperate with one another.An Example for Other ChainsIt is evident that relying on third-party solutions such as oracles is not necessarily ideal. That said, the Chainlink network of oracles is fully decentralized, which means a lot of potential use cases have opened up. It is also an agnostic network indicating any project can interact with it as they see fit. One has to hope other projects will take note of this development and act on it accordingly.Image(s): Shutterstock.comThe post Decentralized Oracles Make Aelf a More Versatile Blockchain Project appeared first on The Merkle Hash.Source: themerkle.com

Although Aelf (ELF) is on large trading platforms such as Bitfinex and Binance, this digital coin had its glory stolen by other popular cryptocurrencies stealing its spotlight the most of 2017. But, with the arrival of a new year, there came new solutions, and that is when we heard about ELF again. But, as ELF has new solutions upcoming as well, in the form of a private sale organized to sell as much of this token as possible, we are witnessing a change in trending on behalf of this digital coin. To keep up with this digital token, we first need to explain what ELF exactly is and which idea it represents. ELF or Aelf is a digital coin launched and created to serve a decentralized platform which would allow utilization of Blockchain in the physical world of business. That means that developers behind this token have the idea of increasing scalability within blockchain technology so that the current model of business doing could be modified and improved. To solve the problem of scalability within blockchain technology, the developers have concluded that the best option for reaching their goal would be to create a blockchain ecosystem that would be decentralized but working in a similar way operative systems like Linux do. That is how ELF token is planning on running its platform, Aelf, based on nodes that would be organized in clusters. To put this simply, Aelf would be running on nodes that would allow transactions within different groups. So, while there would be transactions being processed in one group, other groups would be able to simultaneously perform different transactions within their network, but unrelated to other groups. The idea behind this type of system is to ensure that the groups for transactions are organized by similar “interests.” That means that different businesses would be organized in different groups, that way creating a well-organized ecosystem that would enable easy business doing and turn-key solutions. So, Aelf has the main goal to become a blockchain decentralized platform that would meet business and mainstream institution needs with each smart contract running on its own network in the form of nodes, which would at the same time solve the scalability issue most platforms have. The goal of this project is to revolutionize the way people are doing business today, but at the same time, creators of this platform are looking into efficiency and security problems that have to be solved. In that spirit, each smart contract and each transaction group will run on separate chains, that way posing a new business model and revolutionizing several mainstream markets. The idea is to accept any type of business and create a versatile community that will be able to obtain a self-sufficient status. Think about it as a reality within a reality where virtual world is actually connected to the physical world. The result would be simplified business ventures, safe and fast transactions and low fees. The ecosystem supported by this token should take on the announced novelties pretty soon, potentially creating an incentive business ecosystem that would be ready for several business types, models, and scenarios with a turn-key solution. To make this project more desirable and boost ELF sales, the team has organized a private sale where they managed to collect 55.000 ETH on behalf of ELF token, that way boosting the price of this coin along the way. Another project with the idea of promoting ELF was recently launched when the team behind this coin invited people to join a project called Azeroth. The launched project is supposed to reward anyone who applies and registers with free ELF tokens in a way known only to the registered parties that are participating in this project. All these projects, including the private sale, probably represent a way of making this no longer forgotten coin, well remembered and running across mainstream waters. It seems that this strategy is working pretty well as ELF is experiencing increases in price, leading from the original major increase in 2018 that happened on January 18th when a whole lot of different tokens were actually suffering from major decreases. And, on January 26th, ELF had another jump marked at 21% of increased price thanks to the launching of Azeroth, a free rewarding program. Look for the team behind ELF to have all the announced changes implemented into a functional community. Once implemented, the price will most certainly rise.

Token NewsShare.Price Action Over the past week, aelf saw its price go up by 5.69%. It is below its 20 day moving average by 4.68%, so its slightly away. aelfs bullish momentum, if assessed by its distance from its 20 day moving average, is pretty far negative compared to the other coins were covering, and thus may be due for a correction upwards or some kind of a period of low volatility. In terms of volatility, aelf exhibits greater price volatility than approximately 73% of coins in our index, so traders can expect a bit more volatility than usual. Looking ahead, if the upcoming week mirrors the volatility of three past three weeks, the price range for aelf in US dollars is expected to be between $0.1700481 and $0.2628219. Where to trade Aelf (symbol: ELF): Gate, Binance, DDEX, EthfinexVolume Update In the week prior, the daily volume for aelf has ranged between 10,778,070 and 23,329,607 currency units. Looking back over past 21 days, the trend in volume does not have a clear direction, while the price trend is clearly down. The past 7 days saw aelfs trading turnover meaning the percentage of its available supply that was traded come in at 3.69%. Its trading turnover percentage is higher than about 64.95% of the coins were tracking, so its above average and thus will have enough liquidity for many investors/traders. Engagement Update aelf saw the number of wallets holding its coin go from 50,846 to 50,929 over the past week a change of 0.16%. In terms of blockchain-recorded transactions made by these wallets since their inception, that number changed from 313,562 to 316,537, which translates to growth of 0.95% for the week. This translates to a combined engagement growth rate of 1.11% for aelf which is higher than 48.57% of the cryptocurrencies were reporting on. One interpretation of this may be that the coins weekly growth in engagement is fairly mediocre. Technology Development Status At the moment, aelf has 16 repositories open to the public on GitHub, with the oldest one now being 1.76 years young. Its most recent public update was within the past day, which is pretty good, as it suggests the coin is still under active and rapid technical development. aelfs repos that are visible to the public collectively have 625 watchers thats more than approximately 59 % of coins in its index. The coin has 169 total outstanding issues across all 16 of its public repositories on GitHub. Its number of watchers, when viewed against its open issues count, is a bit below average, and thus potentially concerning. We view the ratio of open issues on aelfs GitHub repos relative to the number of developers who follow its repos as a way to quantitatively assess the health of a coins software development processes, and for aelf we see that it fares better than only 22% of the coins we group aelf in. aelf News and Commentary Over the past week, we found one link about aelf that we thought was particularly interesting. If available, we added an excerpt from the article to help give a taste of what it is about. Amazon Web Services Lists its First Blockchain Platform with Cross-Chain CapaKey Extract: Every one of these cloud computing companies are pro blockchain by either supporting blockchain projects or developing their own blockchain solutions.There are four broad categories in which cloud computing services can fall under: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Serverless and Software as a Service (SaaS).Within the cloud computing infrastructure, there are typically three types of cloudsPublic clouds, Private clouds, and Hybrid clouds.Platform as a service refers to cloud computing services that supply an on-demand environment for developing, testing, delivering and managing software applications.aelf Enterprise 0.7.0 beta will provide high performance blockchain BaaS through massive cloud data storage, one-click-deployment blockchain toolkits and flexible DApp development modulesall functions attuned to test and implement blockchain with ease and precision by enterprises.Generally blockchain platforms only offer one of these architectures, but aelf offers all three, just like AWS offers all three type of cloud computing deployments.Where to BuyYou can trade Aelf, listed under the symbol ELF, through the following exchanges: Gate, Binance, DDEX, Ethfinex.

Ethereum fell on Sunday after to mark a failed attempt at resistance ahead of the $400 level and this will be key for the coin’s next path. The coin sees support at $315 and the range between these two levels will define ETH in the days ahead. Cryptocurrencies tumbled last week after Bitcoin fell with commodities after a rally in the U.S. dollar. Weakness in the currency had fuelled the end of a strong rally in crypto and ETH also benefitted from the growing buzz in DeFi projects using its blockchain.

Ethereum is now getting close to the full launch of its long-awaited 2.0 upgrade which will bring increased speed, security, and scalability. The release will be good timing for the coin with the current interest in DeFi projects. 

In regulatory news, EU Ministers from Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands last week called for regulation in stablecoins in order to preserve the bloc's monetary sovereignty from Big Tech firms. This is part of the bloc’s attempts to lead the way in digital currency regulation and is another sign that government’s fear the loss of power that decentralized crypto could bring.

Tron’s TRX coin was a solid performer in the last two weeks after founder Justin Sun took to Medium to announce the release of a new “meme” coin under the Tron banner. 

The post summarized the new coin as follows:

SUN is community-driven and will aim to capitalize on the decentralized finance (DeFi) potential of TRON. The post also noted that self-governance communities such as Compound, AAVE, YFI, etc. have emerged on the Ethereum network and Tron will seek to launch a rival, but also open the door for other projects to list similar communities on its blockchain.

SUN Genesis mining will formally launch on September 2nd. The total supply of SUN will be 19,900,730 coins.

The price of TRX found support in the mid-March crypto lows at the $0.0100 level and has been on a steady uptrend since then to the current price around $0.0300. The Sun announcement saw the coin spike higher to a price of $0.0500. Resistance for the coin is now at $0.0350 and a close above there could see further gains emerge. The current price level is important due to the uptrend support.

AELF (ELF) was 53% higher on the week but this was after the price corrected from gains of around 150%. The price spike coincided with the launch of a decentralized finance (DeFi) project called SashimiSwap. This was launched as a rival to the recently criticized SushiSwap project. Aelf has called SASHIMI token a “fair version of Sushi,” which has no pre-mine and no team shares.

On SashimiSwap, traders will pay a 0.3% transaction fee, with 0.25% of that going to network participants who provide liquidity. Aelf’s network is built as ‘one main chain + multiple side chains’ which allows developers to deploy or run DApps (Distributed Applications) on individual side chains. By adopting parallel processing and their unique AEDPoS consensus mechanism, Aelf saw major breakthroughs in performance, achieving high throughput.

SushiSwap executed a planned slashing of block rewards from 1,000 to 100 SUSHI for liquidity providers (LPs) on Saturday after a migration of $800 million in assets from Uniswap. The move saw Uniswap overtake its younger rival in locked value. SushiSwap’s coin traded at $11.50 on September 1st before falling to $2.25 per coin.

Aelf currently has a market cap of $73.5 million after the recent price gains and the coin is ranked at number 122 in the list of coins. The ELF token rallied to test the $0.3000 level before settling back at $0.1344 and last week’s high will be resistance going forward. The latest spike and the SushiSwap developments will bring new attention to the coin. 

The UMA coin fell on the week after being one of the coins in the top thirty to avoid big losses in the previous week. The coin is another that operates in the Decentralized Finance world of crypto where the coin is ranked number two behind LINK and YFI with a market cap of $924 million. That is still far behind LINK’s valuation of $4.53 billion, despite the coin’s 50% sell-off recently. 

The UMA project is focused on smart contracts in derivatives and other financial innovations. The project also boasts big-name investors such as Bain Capital Ventures and Coinbase Ventures. One of the recent projects from developers was the creation of a synthetic coin that tracked the relationship between ETH and BTC. Developers have the ability to create similar coins on the network in any assets and this could open up some disruptive ideas in the financial markets. 

UMA saw a high of $30.00 at the start of September but has since fallen to $10.00 and trades at $16.90 after a bounce. The $20.00 level will be key to another test of the highs at $30.00.

Are dApps Driving or Derailing Blockchain Adoption? 6 min readDApps are potentially one of the most vital components to blockchain adoption. They are, in a sense, the real world encapsulation of adoption, they represent the transition from a piece of software to a solution.What are dApps? dApps is short for decentralized application. Any application that is running on a decentralized blockchain can theoretically be called a dApp. The majority of dApps are developed by 3rd parties or teams that are not associated with those who built the underlying blockchain.A dApp is specific to an individual blockchain, although multiple variations can exist which are designed for different blockchains. Similar to an application can exist on windows and apple, it will have a separate installer, depending on the OS it is required to run on. In essence, the equivalent of a dApp is any application which you install on your pc or phone through an install file (although some exist as an interactive website), and the underlying blockchain is your specific devices operating system.Not Everything is a dApp Some apps that are running on blockchain may not technically be classed as a dApp, since they may not be fully decentralized, such as IBMs FoodTrust app which is an app running on a permissioned private blockchain. Generally speaking, a permissioned private blockchain inferrs limited or no decentralization and certain instances could simply be classed as a database.In fact, one of the limiting factors to corporate or enterprise level adoption of blockchain technology is directly relating to a misunderstanding that any app utilizing blockchain must be fully decentralized and thus be public. This is simply untrue. In reality, an app running on blockchain can be a fully centralized database or a fully decentralized public ledger, and everything in between.Rise of the dApp The launch of Ethereum in mid 2015 with the inclusion of smart contracts created the environment that developers could properly design applications utilizing the characteristics of blockchain. Prior to this, the use case of blockchain was limited to financial transactions as an individually isolated and simple function. Not only did the inclusion of smart contracts allow for transactions to be linked together in an if-then design, but it also spread the application potential throughout many other industries. It wasnt until 2 years later when dApp development really took off with the hype of 2017. Another 2 years and dApp development is now the norm with most blockchain platforms having tens of dapps running on them daily.Blockchain platforms that support dApp development now consist of Ethereum, Tron, EOS, IOST, WICC, STEEM, Ont, Neo, Loom, Tomo, Nas, Bos, POA, xDai, Klaytn, GoChain as presented by and. Each of the websites list the majority of dApps that are live on these platforms with 3,021 and 3,113 dApps listed respectively.Although Ethereum holds the most number of dApps, the number of active users are small compared with EOS who receive between 48 times as many users daily.dApp Adoption What is even more staggering is the fact that, according to the stats by both State of the Dapps and DappReview, there is only an average of 3545 users per dApp, with EOS being the most successful platform seeing approximately 150 users per dApp.This indicates that the success of many of these dApps are severely limited or not effective at all. In fact, according to DappReview, the top 5 EOS dApps make up over 70% of the active EOS users. To make matters worse, over half of the dapps fall under the casino and high risk category. This may also limit adoption to a large degree as many individuals and organisations may limit their connection with these dapps and potentially blockchain as a whole due to concerns over brand image and moral stances.A concern with the current dApp situation is the mindset or image that this is giving the wider public. The high number of high risk and casino/gambling dApps could narrow the potential use case of blockchain in the publics minds to only risky financial incentive programs. In reality, this is just one of many applications that this technology can be implemented in. Some of the biggest progress has been made by enterprises who do not seek to develop their application as fully decentralized.The Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) are a new upgrade to their main platform, CHESS, through Digital Assets, a blockchain focused development company. This project, although well into development since the 2016 prototype development, is still not expected to be fully launched before 2021. This app will be available to thousands of organisations and brokers who are registered users on the platform, but the application will be managed and run by the ASX.IBM have implemented their supply chain app called , in conjunction with Walmart, and have onboarded numerous clients across the industry globally, including the U.S., Europe and Australia. This application runs also runs as a permissioned private blockchain and is not decentralized at all.Visa have Visa B2B Connect, a blockchain inspired network facilitating cross-border payments. The network has incorporated elements from and was developed in collaboration with IBM.Most of the use cases developed by enterprises such as those above, will see much wider adoption by users globally, simply in the fact that blockchain is a part of a larger solution developed to resolve a specific issue. This is opposed to the majority of dApps which are developed in order to provide an application for blockchain without a specific issue they are resolving.In terms of adoption, the time has passed when developing a dApp for the sake of showcasing blockchain technology is useful, but rather the focus should be more holistic with a company positioning themselves as a software solution for a specific industry or application with a blockchain focus. In addition, improvements need to be made in the fundamental public and private blockchain platform technology allowing the software solutions to be developed with exactly the need requirements. This is where aelf comes in, we are developing a platform which will provide a springboard for existing enterprises and software solution providers to develop their solutions with the right blockchain application, tailored to suit their needs.Hot News for aelf: aelf Telegram community: , , , , ,, , , , , , and , aelf aelf aelf aelf aelf aelf (for the latest update and articles) aelf (complete aelf project codes)For more information, visit

China Overtakes the US & the rest of the World becoming a Leader in Blockchain Adoption 4 min readChina accounts for 25% of all blockchain projects worldwide and almost 40% of all blockchain patents.On the back of comments from Chinas General Secretary about the countries stance on Blockchain technology, there has been a flurry of media announcements around the world involving China. On October 24th, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee conducted the 18th collective study on the status quo and trends of blockchain technology development. In his study, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the integrated application of blockchain technology plays an important role in new technological innovation and industrial transformation. On the face of it, these views appear surprising given Chinas hard stance on cryptocurrencies and ICO fundraising in the past; however, Jinping, specified that blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies should not be confused. The Government has been following blockchain technology development quite closely for some time.In June, District Officials and other governors the aelf office in Beijing. This visit was part of a bigger look at Jinnan District Haitang Startup Street.Although the hardline stance China has taken against cryptocurrencies, the country still boasts many high end projects, including aelf, housing offices throughout. Other well known projects that have been recognised by Chinas Center for Information & Industry Development (CCID) include EOS, NEO, Cosmos, Waves, Zilliqa and Tezos. Many of these projects rank in the top 20 of its crypto projects ranking. Lesser known is the that companies like Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu all have been registered as blockchain providers in China.According to Blockdata, China accounts for approximately 25% of all blockchain projects in the world. In addition, China has also been to lead the world in the number of blockchain patents with 790 patents published. Further signifying the distinction between blockchain and cryptocurrency, of the 2747 patents published globally, 2127 include the term blockchain in the title, while only 260 patents contain crypto, virtual currency or digital currency.The latest statements from Jinping were, in fact, not the first time Chinas leader has praised blockchain technology. In May, 2018, he called the technology a breakthrough, emphasizing the need for China to focus on its technological development.China is also countries to form a committee to develop a national standard for blockchain technology, which will create a solid framework for future development to occur. The committee includes members from many industries and areas of expertise including aelf, to create the best environment for well-founded standards to be developed.Many of the latest media posts about China have been revolving around the new national digital currency that is soon to be released. This currency comes in a time where Libra is seeking to gain traction and approval for development, but is still struggling with many global regulatory bodies. A key feature of the Chinese Digital Currency is the ability for the token to be used without an internet connection, as by Mu Changchun, Deputy Director of PBOCs payments department.Mike Novogratz mentioned the seriousness of this shift away from the US in a , stating that this could result in the US losing their reserve status. It is clear that Blockchain is being taken seriously by countries all around the world, and the time is fast approaching where clear and public stances need to be taken in order to not be left behind. Part of this relies on clear and stable regulations and directions from authority bodies which has long been an issue in many countries including the US.Hot News for aelf: aelf Telegram community: , , , , ,, , , , , , and , aelf aelf aelf aelf aelf aelf (for the latest update and articles) aelf (complete aelf project codes)For more information, visit

Is Blockchain the Holy Grail for Global Immigration? 7 min readImmigration is often a last resort for citizens who are fleeing war, oppression and racism that hope to pursue a democratic existence in a new country. Blockchain technology can help solve the various challenges that arise for migrants, technologists, governments, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and other constituents in this process. In this article we are going to examine multiple ways that blockchain can help make the immigration process fairer and more transparent for all parties involved. First, we will touch on the new immigration policies US President Donald Trump is currently proposing, then we will focus on 4 main ways that immigration can become more democratic with the help of blockchain technology.Recently a began that opposes that controversial executive order that US President Donald Trump created to decimate refugee resettlement in the United States. Trumps proposal could reduce the number of refugees allowed to enter the US in Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 to just 18 thousand. Last year Trump set the accepted into the country at a record low of 30 thousand; much of this stems from the towards refugees from Mexico and various countries in Central America. This approach by the Trump administration is not acceptable to many around the world and was the catalyst that created the #Blackout4Refugees hashtag globally. The average yearly quota for the acceptance of refugees into the United States has each year beginning in 1980.The adoption of Blockchain technology is critical in solving many of the worlds greatest challenges; several attributes that make Open Public Blockchains truly revolutionary are outlined below by international and renowned Blockchain expert Andreas Antonopoulos. There are of Blockchain technology that Andreas focuses on in most of his educational material including: 1.) Open 2.) Public 3.) Borderless 4.) Neutral 5.) Censorship Resistant. A close 6th quality that makes Blockchain technology a true game-changer is its immutability. Aelfs Blockchain network has several qualities that will allow global immigration practices to become more efficient and transparent moving forward; these include interoperability, an optimized governance structure, adaptability and a fast, highly scalable protocol.There are several ways that Blockchain technology can help improve transparency for migrants, governments and other constituents that accept immigrants into their countries on a mass scale:1. Accessibility to Digital Identities and Other Essential Documents Migrants are often required to and other important documents to governments for up to 2 years before being accepted to immigrate to another country. Situations such as this are often the result of extremely inefficient government practices and other factors. Having proper access to a digital identity is also critical for a person who has immigrated to another country. Storing a digital version of a users Passport, Drivers Licence or Government ID means that the individual can always prove their identity. This allows authorities to look up personal information and prove the credibility of a person who is pursuing their right to immigrate. Digital identities also help countries who take in a huge number of refugees each year; this gives their new country the ability to screen individuals through extensive healthcare and criminal record checks. This process has had a positive impact towards the safety of native citizens in nations across the globe. More transparency means more accountability for both immigrants and the countries that accept them. Blockchain technology can help prevent the abuse of power in regions which exploit specific ethnic minorities such as Myanmar, Israel or Hungary. For example, the ability to prove a persons identity can mean the difference between life and death for Rohingya Muslims. Blockchain technology allows in our world to become more transparent, secure and immutable moving forward.2. Giving Instant Accessibility to Value Transfer With the Click of a Button Millions of migrant workers across the globe regularly send money back to their families in their home countries so they can survive. Utilizing mobile blockchain wallets gives people in many regions access to finances where it is often impossible to have access to a traditional bank account. Transferring ELF, Ethereum, Bitcoin or other types of cryptocurrencies allows for the instant transfer of value from one recipient to another. Banks and financial institutions charge exorbitant fees and transactions often take days to be completed; this is just not sustainable for immigrants and migrant workers who are providing the livelihood for their families in nations thousands of miles away. New mobile payment infrastructure is also making it possible for users with a mobile blockchain wallet to pay for food, gasoline and various other essentials that are needed to survive.3. Tracking Crowdfunding and Donations towards Refugee Causes to Maintain Transparency Blockchain technology allows the to be safe, accessible and transparent as well as publicly verifiable. This makes it perfect as a platform for. This process is especially effective to help citizens from across the globe to contribute financially to the well-being of refugees and immigrants settling in new countries. This capability to securely track donations and crowdfunding contributions in a more secure and honest manner makes theft nearly impossible while also ensuring maximum impact of funds. There are various blockchain projects that utilize this model to help those in need; the success rates of crowdfunding platforms that use blockchain technology is often higher than those that dont. Remember, traditional business funding is because it is generally completed by self-funding, bank financing or through venture capital corporations. For most people, self-funding is extremely limited, while bank financing requires an existing business with strong revenue and cash flow. Venture capital generally requires a product or service that has a strong demand and a business that is close to launching. Aelfs blockchain technology can be utilized to enhance the crowdfunding process for immigrants facing difficult situations moving forward.4. Reducing the Likelihood of Fraudulent Immigration Policies by Governments and NGOs Not only can immigrants and refugees use blockchain technology to their benefit; this process helps safeguard the rights of immigrants that are exploited unfairly by governments, NGOs and other constituents. These organizations must be held accountable by utilizing their strict immigration policies in an honest and trustworthy manner. In many nations across the world, severe abuses of power towards refugees and immigrants have become commonplace. This is surely apparent in Hungary and has occurred on multiple instances. Europes leading human rights agency, the, works to defend the rights of citizens across the continent. The Hungarian government has exploited refugees that have been starved, caged and denied legal representation. Civic organizations that have tried to help refugees additionally, the courts in Hungary which are meant to help protect the rights of immigrants have been put under immense pressure by the Hungarian government. A government that is often considered increasingly authoritarian.Aelfs interoperability capabilities (the ability to communicate with multiple blockchains) combined with Chainlinks oracle-based technology (Chainlinks decentralized Oracle network provides extremely robust security similar to smart contracts that are not prone to a single point of failure) allows data to be shared among multiple parties while being present in a single location that is accessible to all. Important information must be readily available in a secure and verifiable manner in order to determine correct immigrantion and migration practices. Aelfs public/private blockchain ecosystem also allows important data to be accessible to the correct parties while ensuring certain data is kept private to potentially malicious actors.In many ways Aelfs approach to its blockchain project mirrors that of the multitude of problems blockchain technology can help solve relating to immigration and migrations policies globally. Aelfs strong governance structure allows users of the Aelf Blockchain a great sense of transparency because Aelf token holders contribute greatly to the development of the project moving forward. This is similar to how blockchain technology provides the world with more transparency by helping solve many of the problems migrants, government and NGOs face on a regular basis. With solutions such as Aelf it is becoming more apparent with each passing day that blockchain technology can be utilized to solve many of the worlds greatest challenges moving forward. #Blackout4Refugees #AelfBlockchainHot News for aelf: aelf Telegram community: , , , , ,, , , , , , and , aelf aelf aelf aelf aelf aelf (for the latest update and articles) aelf (complete aelf project codes)For more information, visit
