BCGS #6 — “Welcome to The Borderless Age” (12/17/18)
Hello,
We are nearly a week away from After Target period. As covered in the previous email, the launch of After Target will bring about many changes for the community. Please review that email for further guidance and preparation for those upcoming changes. We look forward to beyond Before Target, launch After Target, and the revelation of OVERLINE.
This email is #6 in the Block Collider Global State series. As always, each email is broken into three sections: Performance Metrics, Next, and The 6th Blockchain.
Performance Metrics
In this update, we look metrics from the launch of BORDERLESS (prev. MADEX). In the span of two short days, the Block Collider community has rallied behind the flagship application which is the first decentralized exchange without hosted validators, orderbooks, or centralization of any kind. In fact, you don’t even visit a website to use BORDERLESS and instead download a P2P client application which runs on your computer.
The performance metrics from the BORDERLESS soft launch are:
- 4919.186 EMB converted to L-EMB
- 35 New Vanities Purchased
- 10 Vanities Traded
- 135 EMB/ETH Orders Filled
- 59 Leases Purchased
- 21 Existing Leases Purchased
How to try out BORDERLESS (detailed introduction):
- Request testnet Emblems (yes Emblems!)
- You may need to request testnet Ether.
- We strongly recommend you do not use your BSEC wallet but that you generate a new one.
- Download the application.
In addition to being the flagship example of how decentralized exchanges could use Block Collider, BORDERLESS introduces the following features:
- Emblem Leasing or L-EMB which permit users to grant or sell their Emblems to miners.
- Vanity Addresses: short name 12 character addresses which can be used seamlessly by enterprises.
- L-EMB and Vanity Address marketplace.
- Emblem Lease Mining Administration.
We are thrilled about the adoption, even while we are in the testnet phase. We’ve also received a lot of great suggestions for features and improvements from the community and will be using them for future releases moving forward. Please continue to provide any feedback, bugs, questions to the feedback page and remember to read the detailed introduction.
Next
- Miners have 14 days following block 1.8 to shut down operations and prepare to migrate to 0.8.5
- 0.8.5 will be released and the ARC Block will be broadcast to the network.
The 6th Blockchain
It will not be an individual stable coin such as Basis.
Welcome to the Borderless Age.
