Bitcoin SV (BSV) Network Completes Historic Genesis Hard Fork

Published

on

 

On February 4, 2020, the Bitcoin SV (BSV) network successfully completed its historic “Genesis” hard fork to bring back Bitcoin’s original design. The update is code-named “Genesis” because it returns the Bitcoin protocol as closely as possible to the original released in 2009 by Bitcoin’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto (aka Dr. Craig S. Wright). Block 620538 was the first block mined after Genesis activated; however, it was block 620539 (mined by TAAL Distributed Information Technologies, Inc.) which confirmed that Genesis rules are valid and pre-Genesis rules are no longer valid on the BSV network. TAAL mined the historic block, as well as others before and after the Genesis activation, “on behalf of Satoshi Nakamoto” to honor the father of Bitcoin.

How does Genesis help massive scaling of the BSV network? The Genesis hard fork removed any arbitrary cap on Bitcoin’s block size and allows the blockchain to grow unbounded for enterprise usage. BSV already consistently has more transactions than the Bitcoin Core (BTC) network, and now can massively scale to levels of the VISA payment network and beyond. Market forces, rather than an arbitrary group of protocol developers, will determine how big BSV scales.

How does Genesis enable developers and businesses to build more? Along Bitcoin’s journey, protocol developers on the BTC chain deviated from Satoshi Nakamoto’s original design and restricted many technical capabilities of Bitcoin to act as more than just a payment system. On BSV, the Genesis hard fork restores many technical functions of the original Bitcoin protocol – such as removing artificial limits on the size and capabilities of transactions, and restoring the full original functionality of Bitcoin Script (the programming language used within the Bitcoin protocol). With these restorations, the BSV blockchain can be more easily used for more than just payment transactions; it also supports a vast array of data, token, smart contract, content delivery, enterprise application, Internet of Things, and other uses. This advances Bitcoin SV’s grand vision to become the world’s data ledger that can power “on-chain” data transactions and digital activity of all types, just like the Internet enabled a world where anything can operate online.

Why is it important to keep the Bitcoin protocol “set in stone”? A stable rule set ensures that a monetary or data transaction performed on the blockchain today will be valid in 2, 5 and 100 years from now. Furthermore, enterprises and developers want a locked protocol before they commit time and resources to build technology applications on top of it, rather than having to constantly change their development process if the base protocol is repeatedly changing. While it may experience software improvements, the Bitcoin SV ecosystem is committed to keeping its basic technical “rule set” now set in stone, as Satoshi Nakamoto always envisioned.

Development growth in the BSV ecosystem has been rapid. There are already 400 known companies, services, developer resources and protocol projects built on or for BSV. Now after the Genesis hard fork, expect that number to rapidly rise as developers and businesses can now build more complex applications on Bitcoin SV, without needing to use other attempted blockchain projects such as Ethereum, EOS or Hyperledger.

Eleven years after its birth, Bitcoin is finally back to what it was always designed to be: a massively scalable and immutable ledger to serve as peer-to-peer electronic cash and the world’s enterprise data ledger. In short, BSV is BitCoin.

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

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.
