Overview

Shiden Network has won the 3rd Kusama parachain slot auction

Shiden Network is a multi-chain decentralized application layer on Kusama Network. Kusama Relaychain does not support smart contract functionality by design. Kusama Network needs a smart contract layer. This is where Shiden Network comes in. Shiden supports Ethereum Virtual Machine, WebAssembly, and Layer2 solutions from day one. The platform supports various applications like DeFi, NFTs, and more.

In other parachain news,

The Moonriver Parachain Encountered An Error

While performing a runtime upgrade, Moonriver stopped producing blocks. This is due to an issue between Kusama and our parachain, where the Relay Chain attempts to validate a block using the old runtime, while collators are producing blocks using the new runtime.

This was due to a bug between the relay chain and parachain related to using democracy to perform this runtime upgrade.
Normally, when doing a runtime upgrade on the parachain, the relay chain stores that new runtime Wasm in order to validate the future new parachain blocks.

In an unrelated development,

Raze Network Has Joined the Polkadot DeFi Alliance

Raze Network is a Substrate-based cross-chain privacy protocol for the Polkadot ecosystem. It is built as a native privacy layer that can provide end-to-end anonymity for the entire DeFi stack. At the current time, the Polkadot Alliance members have expanded to virtually every aspect of the Polkadot sphere, consisting of DAOs, smart contracts, DeFi, privacy, storage, finance, and many other fields. The significance of this online organization cannot be stressed enough.

Basilisk by Hydra DX Started their Crowd-loan

You can support Basilisk by participating in the crowd-loan campaign and pledging some amount of KSM tokens which will be locked up for the duration of the parachain slot. In return, you will be granted generous BSX rewards plus an HDX bonus to cover your opportunity costs. Once the parachain slot has expired, you will receive your KSM tokens back in full. The same applies for the unlikely scenario that Basilisk does not manage to win a parachain slot within the crowd-loan campaign deadline. All community supporters are rewarded for participating in the crowd-loan after Basilisk has secured a parachain slot. The available rewards consist of BSX and HDX tokens which are distributed at a different rate depending on the state of the crowd-loan at the time of the contribution.

Finally A gem/ crowd-loan I’m interested in Genshiro DeFi (Equilibrium)

Genshiro is a trustless cross chain DeFi hub on Kusama inspired by Equilibrium. I am especially impressed with the team behind Genshiro and Equilibrium following the successful launch of a BSC — POLKADOT bridge. Additionally Genshiro has doubled the reward ration for the remaining crowdloan.

Bitcoin Dominance

BTC.D Weekly

On the weekly, BTC.D looks like it will close bullish, above the green weekly support. With less than 2 day till close, BTC.D has most likely started its bounce. However, BTC.D does have a few local resistances that may push it to new lows.

BTC.D Daily

On the daily, BTC.D has started to slow on the daily. Now printing indecisive candles, as BTC.D looks like it may not break 46.05% on the first test. Instead, BTC.D looks like it will experience another pullback.

BTC.D 4 Hour

On the 4 hour, it would appear that BTC.D is in the process of getting rejected from the 46.05% resistance. After BTC.D broke through the resistance, BTC.D broke back down below, failing to confirm it as support. BTC.D had one more attempt at breaking the resistance, however, it looks like this attempt was rejected too. The currently open candle also has wicked to support before pulling back to where it opened. BTC.D may bounce off of the the 50/100 ema, but this is not too likely to happen

Conclusion:

BTC.D has started to slow down, as Bitcoin’s price action calms down. While BTC.D is predicated on Bitcoin’s movements, I’m anticipating lower lows on the short term. Even though the weekly looks like it may have bounced off support, BTC.D is slowing on the daily and 4 hour. Particularly, the 4 hour seems like it’s set for a rejection.
