Alephium Unveils Video Creation Contest

on

Community-Generated Content Drive Underscores User-Driven Momentum

Lausanne, Switzerland–(Newsfile Corp. – March 17, 2022) – Following the recent mainnet launch of its platform, the Alephium team is opting to reward the community of users it has amassed with a contest designed to attract compelling introductory videos.

As the community expands, tutorials, guides, and videos are constantly being uploaded on YouTube. Although many existing videos already help users understand the concept of Alephium and how to mine, the emerging network is seeking a stronger introductory video. The Alephium team is searching for a video introduction covering all the basics, especially to attract and engage new users who aren’t necessarily tech-savvy or familiar with Alephium.

Per the official announcement, Alephium is looking for an easy-to-understand “video introduction” that should at least cover all the basic points covered in the project’s Medium article “Welcome to Alephium“. The video shouldn’t exceed five minutes, can be in any language, and should include links and information about Alephium’s social media channels, whitepapers, and Github. To this end, the Alephium team has launched a video creation contest.

The Alephium team has provided the guidelines for the contest. Interested users can also reach out directly to the Alephium team on Discord, Telegram, and Reddit. Additional information related to Alephium can already be found on the official website, whitepapers, Medium, and Github. Users can upload their video on YouTube or Vimeo with the #Alephium and #ALPH tags before 2022-04-15 23:59 CET, then provide the link and their email address via the official submission link.

By design, Alephium features many complex technical and mathematical concepts. It employs a novel algorithm called BlockFlow delivering efficient and practical UTXO sharding with single-step cross-shard transactability while maintaining speed and security. This first-of-its-kind layer-1 sharded blockchain is designed to tackle the challenges of scalability, transaction throughput, and consensus efficiency in existing networks.

New users, especially those without a technical background, can find it difficult to wrap their heads around the functionalities and features offered by Alephium. Hence, the video creation competition is focused on selecting one or more videos that introduction to the fundamental concepts and value proposition of Alephium in a comprehensive, tech jargon-free, engaging, and easy to understand manner. Creators are free to use 3D animations, cartoons, voiceovers with premium slides, or add any other creative touch as they deem fit.

Further expanding upon the contest’s guidelines, Alephium Co-Founder, Cheng Wang notes, “The community has already created an impressive amount of content related to Alephium. YouTube is full of videos, but most of them are focussed on mining. We need something that can serve as an accessible gateway for new users, we need great introduction videos. Our community members have amazed us with their content creation skills to date, so I’m confident this video creation contest will help us gather creative videos that best describes Alephium.”

Saakuru Leads the Gasless Blockchain Revolution, Disrupting the Industry

Published

on

saakuru-leads-the-gasless-blockchain-revolution,-disrupting-the-industry

Saakuru has recently achieved significant milestones in its development, positioning itself as a leader in the gasless blockchain revolution that is reshaping the industry. Within just nine months of its launch, the consumer-centric L2 protocol has entered the top 5 brands in its niche and records over 1.44 million weekly users, according to data from DappRadar.

The project is gearing up for the official launch of its Saakuru token ($SKR) by the end of April, supported by a successful private funding round that raised $2.4 million. Saakuru Protocol stands as a pioneering advocate of gasless technology, aiming to accelerate the adoption of Web3 into the mainstream by enhancing the user experience and reducing costs for both developers and end users.

Unlike traditional blockchain networks, which often suffer from high gas fees and security issues, Saakuru Protocol leverages Oasys High-Speed Optimistic Rollups to create a public-permission, gas-less L2 blockchain. This innovative approach eliminates gas fees, improves user experience, and introduces new tokenomics models, enabling the development of versatile decentralized applications with higher security standards, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use.

The Saakuru token serves as a multi-purpose token within the protocol, providing utility and governance. Its advanced burning mechanism gradually reduces the token supply while potentially increasing its value. The token is integrated into all operational layers of the Saakuru protocol:

1. Developer Layer (Saakuru Labs): Provides products and services with proprietary business models, burning 10% of profits.

2. DeFi Layer (Taffy DEX): Utilizes Taffy DEX technology, where 0.005% of transaction fees are converted to SKR tokens and burned.

3. Governance Layer: Enables token holders to participate in protocol governance, with 5% of tokens used for governance initiating the review process being burned.

4. Protection Layer: In the event of triggering the protection mechanism, SKR tokens are burned, with 3% of saved tokens being burned.

Through these innovative features and layers, the Saakuru token and protocol aim to drive adoption, enhance functionality, and provide sustainable value for users and stakeholders alike in the evolving blockchain landscape.

RFK Jr. Proposes U.S. Budget Transparency with Blockchain

Published

on

rfk-jr-proposes-us.-budget-transparency-with-blockchain

RFK Jr.’s innovative proposal seeks to revolutionize how the American public interacts with the national budget, leveraging blockchain technology to provide unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability.

Under this plan, every detail of the U.S. budget would be recorded on a blockchain ledger, accessible to the public 24/7. RFK Jr. highlighted the transformative potential of blockchain by emphasizing that “Every American can look at every budget item in the entire budget, anytime they want, 24 hours a day.” This approach aims to engage citizens in the fiscal management of the country, with the goal of ensuring that every dollar spent is visible and accountable.

The proposal promises several significant benefits. Firstly, it could substantially reduce corruption and misuse of funds by enabling real-time monitoring of budget allocations. Secondly, it could strengthen the relationship between citizens and their government, potentially fostering greater trust and civic engagement.

However, implementing such a system presents challenges. One major obstacle is the immense amount of data involved in transcribing the entire national budget onto a blockchain. This requires a highly robust and scalable blockchain infrastructure. Additionally, ensuring universal access and usability of this technology for all Americans may require extensive educational initiatives and improvements in digital infrastructure.

Moreover, there are concerns regarding privacy and security. While blockchain offers inherent security features, the continuous updating and review of vast amounts of data could pose vulnerabilities that need to be addressed to prevent breaches.

Nevertheless, the potential benefits of RFK Jr.’s proposal are compelling. If successful, it could serve as a model for other nations, demonstrating how blockchain can enhance transparency and public participation in government. Ultimately, this initiative has the potential to redefine the standards for accountability and transparency in government spending, marking a significant step forward in the management of public resources.
