🔎 Neutron is the first consumer chain to launch on Interchain Security
ICS is expected to bring in a new era of Cosmos adoption, with Neutron being the first consumer chain to launch. The community is prepared to face initial challenges that may arise with this technological shift.
🔎 Axelar Virtual Machine - an interoperability marketplace
The Axelar Virtual Machine - an interoperability marketplace where, chain devs are providers, initiating connections; dApps are consumers of protocols & orchestration services, via a programmable layer that automates complex tasks.
The Axelar Virtual Machine is launching with two products: the Interchain Amplifier, which simplifies connection to the interchain ecosystem, and the Interchain Maestro, which automates complex tasks by orchestrating multi-chain dApp management.
Axelar is also launching a $5 million developer grant program to build using the Axelar Virtual Machine and expand the interchain.
🔎 First #IBC transfer between #Cosmos chain and #Polkadot para chain
Trustless bridge using IBC between the Picasso parachain and the Cosmos ecosystem. This is the first end-to-end test sending tokens from the parachain to the Stride chain in the Cosmos.
🔎 Chain4Energy 2023 #Roadmap has been published
In Q1, they plan to integrate with the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol of the Cosmos Network, start issuing staking rewards for validators, and kick off the Blockchain City project.
Q2 will see C4E’s private and public sale and token listing, release of a mobile app beta, and showcase their collaboration with Blockchain City. In
Q3, C4E will introduce incentivized liquidity provision (LP), launch the mobile app 1.0, and launch the Energy Communities MVP.
Q4 will see the introduction of a software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription model, the launch of Energy Tokenization, and the C4E token listed on a centralized exchange (CEX).
🔎 Stargaze #Decentralization
StargazeZone has a high total score of 68, with 130 active validators spread across 20 countries. The Validator Nakamoto Coefficient is 11, contributing to the chain's high score. The Nakamoto Coefficient of ISPs and ASNs is 2, and the majority of the stake is in Hetzner. A whopping 27 validators with a score of 100 are backing StargazeZone.
