In this blog post we will explore some of the key challenges developers face when building multi-chain applications, primarily stemming from fragmentation and lack of native, standardized solutions. tl;dr ‍1. Multi-chain dApps are inherently hard to build with 2. Existing solutions are primarily one-size-fits-all and many are tailored toward Ethereum/ Eth L2s. 3. Native multi-chain development is possible with LavaSDK. Building in a multi-chain world Developers in Web3 who build multi-chain face an unequivocal terror: the tyranny of choice. ‍ ‍ Unless you're using a one-size fits all solution in the development of your application, you've likely tried to build a multi-chain app that incorporated several different libraries and plugins. It's a messy affair and the one-size-fits-all solutions are pretty elegant. Unfortunately, most of these solutions are locked into a specific chain architecture (whether Ethereum-bound or particular to another chain). ‍ The irony of the times is that interoperability, cross-chain communication, and transcendental web3 are the future, yet the dev tools for making apps that natively perform these functions are limited or experimental. ‍ A great example of a one-size-fits-all working with Ethereum is Metamask: import { MetaMaskSDK } from '@metamask/sdk'; const MMSDK = new MetaMaskSDK(options); const ethereum = MMSDK.getProvider(); // You can also access via window.ethereum ethereum.request({ method: 'eth_requestAccounts', params: [] }); Expanding beyond Ethereum is tough Many developers who thrive in Ethereum can attest to the utility of such simple interfaces - and the extensibility of being able to continuously develop applications with plug-n-play components (📣 Metamask has even developed a React-UI integration so frontend development is even easier!). The convenience of these types of libraries and SDKs is undeniable… With only a few lines, you can assemble a working app which successfully interacts meaningfully with the blockchain. ‍ But what if you want to live beyond the bounds Ethereum? In most cases, building a multi-chain dApp that has different chain architectures at play is exhausting. The developer experience in web3 involves roping together these different one-size-fits-all solutions to make a unique solution tailor made to the use-case you're attempting to serve. In other words, much of web3 developer experience involves inventing and reinventing the wheel: He's not wrong… No unified standard for web3 Let's imagine you want to build a simple cross-chain application for checking balances. You can, of course, as highlighted above, use Metamask for Ethereum, which is standard fare for developers. Unfortunately, other chains, especially those which are Cosmos-based, will not play nice with Ethereum libraries & tools. It is likely that you will need multiple libraries. Each library has its own set of APIs, documentation, and quirks, which means additional development overhead, technical debt, and time away from your favorite Discord channel. ‍ In the end, developers will need some sort of library/framework/common standard which is native to all of web3, but also chain-agnostic, cross-platform, and interoperable. Web3.js , Ethers.js, and other libraries are impressive in their flexibility, but do not and can not presently meet the aforementioned qualifications. Native multi-chain RPC & indexing with Lava SDK Enter LavaSDK! const { LavaSDK } = require('@lavanet/lava-sdk') async function initializeWeb3() { const web3Handler = await LavaSDK.create({ badge: { badgeServerAddress: "https://badges.lavanet.xyz", projectId: "f7c19450ae62f68022713016a4c4ddb6" }, chainIds: ["AXELAR", "AXELART","ETH1","COSHUB","STARKNET","CELO"] }); return web3Handler } (async () => { initializeWeb3() })() Lava SDK solves this issue with surety: 🌐🔗 Multi-Chain - Natively multichain with support for 25+ chains and counting. Switching between chains incurs no additional development cost and multiple chains can be initialized and called upon at the same time. ‍ 🔄🔗Chain Agnostic - Supported chains span various ecosystems, FVM, EVM, COSMOSDK, COSMWASM, NEAR, etc. are all supported. RPC relays can be conducted with a single sendRelay function independent of the target chain or API. ‍ 🔄📡Protocol Agnostic - Access to archival and debug nodes on JSONRPC, fully supported method sets on Tendermint, and nominally rarer protocols like gRPC and Websockets are also fully supported. ‍ 🧩🔗Extensible & Modular - Changes to the network are introduced incrementally through Specification files (a.k.a. "Specs" for short). Specs allow for Web3 APIs, rich APIs, indexing functions all accessible directly from LavaSDK's sendRelay. Anyone can implement support for a new chain/API. Learn more here ‍ 🚫🕵️No MITM - Connections between dApps and Providers is completely peer-to-peer (P2P) with no Man-in-the-Middle. Requests are routed through a decentralized, fault-tolerant network of top-performing providers based upon geolocation, latency, and uptime. ‍ 🛠️🔌Integrations - Popular libraries such as Viem/Web3.js/Ethers.js/CosmJS are supported. You don't need to rebuild your app on LavaSDK to use LavaSDK! See examples on our docs. The SDK is live now 👉🏿 If you've heard enough and want to give it a try - Getting started with LavaSDK is relatively easy- follow our Getting Started Guide. Nevertheless, the problems of Web3 Developer Experience are daunting to even seasoned developers; in a multi-chain world, there's absolutely no shame in looking for better DX than is conventionally available. Collectively, with more tools which transcend the bounds of siloed ecosystems, we can hope for a more interconnected, more interoperable, and more sensibly Web3 world. 🗒️ On another note, Lava Phase 2 brings even more improvements including to our continously improving SDK Beta! Feedback is welcome. Check us out now. About Lava Lava is the first modular data access layer for blockchains.

After rigorous testing across multiple Testnets, we are thrilled to announce that BlockX is set to unleash MainNet Beta. Over the past few months, our network has demonstrated lightning speed and unparalleled stability, paving the way for this significant milestone. MainNet Highlights: Our stable network is ready for deployment, with continuous updates and improvements in the pipeline. To ensure smooth integration and minimal service interruptions, any changes or upgrades will be meticulously coordinated with our valued node operators and the broader community. While fully functional and stable, users may experience occasional instability or reduced performance in the initial phases. Post the MainNet Beta: - All balances and transactions on the network will be deemed final post this MainNet Beta. - Staking officially commences on the BlockX Mainnet network. - Staking rewards, Validator rewards, and Delegator rewards will be official and final going forward. Transition Details: Upon the release of MainNet Beta, all users will receive an additional 1:1 Bonus BCX token on the Mainnet network. This bonus will be auto-staked through our staking service, which will be subsequently delegated among validators. The Snapshot of token holdings will be taken within 72 hours from the end of voting. The exact date/time is to be confirmed. Existing Polygon network BCX tokens remain valid, with a future bridge connecting them to MainNet. This means every BCX token holder will witness their total holdings double — for instance, if you currently hold 10,000 BCX on Polygon, you'll receive an additional 10,000 BCX auto-staked on BlockX Mainnet. Initially, bonus auto-staked tokens will be spread between the Genesis Validators by our staking service. Later there will be a Portal to view Auto-Staked tokens and Unstake or view the total holdings including cumulative earnings from Feb 2024 or earlier. Directly staked tokens with validators will already be visible via the explorer (https://ping.blockxnet.com). To directly stake users will have to use the Bridge (pending) polygon tokens to MainNet or unstake the auto-staked tokens via the Dashboard. The issuance of 1:1 Bonus tokens necessitates an adjustment to maintain the proportional ownership as pre-Mainnet. Consequently, the total supply of the chain is set to double, reaching an approximate figure of 1.4 billion tokens. This calculation considers the initial 600 million tokens on the testnet, along with the additional 100 million staking rewards distributed earlier. The resulting total supply is thus twice the sum of these amounts, totaling 1.4 billion tokens. Community Voting Process: Voting for the MainNet Beta release will take place over two weeks on the Testnet network. All BCX token holders on the Testnet are eligible to vote, requiring token delegation. Detailed instructions on voting will be provided separately. Upon a positive vote, we will initiate the creation of the new MainNet network within 2 weeks, while the Testnet will continue its operation. Voting Link: https://ping.blockxnet.com/Atlantis/gov/15 Looking Ahead to the Next Beta: In the next 3–6 months, Phase 2 development is on the horizon, featuring: - Bridge: A bridge connecting to most EVM and Cosmos networks. We are discussing with Axelar and various other partners along with an internal bridge. - Applications: Partner applications in DeFi, GameFi, and other verticals joining the network will become operational. - New Governance and Stress Testing: Stress testing the network and introducing governance architecture updates, with code open-sourced for community contributions, promoting full decentralization. - BlockX Wallet: The release of a new BlockX wallet, available on mobile and web platforms, simplifying staking in BlockX and offering various services, including bridge, swap, and off-ramp/on-ramp functionalities. Stay tuned for further updates as we continue to revolutionize the blockchain landscape with BlockX!

In the era of rampant digital disinformation fueled by the relentless evolution of deepfake technology, the world faces a critical challenge in discerning truth from fiction. As fake news, morphed images, and manipulated videos continue to proliferate on social media platforms, the need for effective solutions becomes more urgent. This article explores the nature of deepfakes, governmental and technological responses, and the potential role of verifiable credentials and decentralized identity in mitigating this burgeoning threat. What are Deepfakes? Deepfakes, products of artificial intelligence applications, seamlessly blend, replace, and superimpose images and videos to create content that appears authentic. These manipulations fall into categories such as audio, text, video, and image deepfakes, each posing unique challenges to the authenticity of digital content. The consequences of deepfake technology extend beyond mere misinformation, eroding trust in institutions, manipulating public opinion, and amplifying societal divisions. Global Responses to Deepfakes Governments worldwide are acknowledging the threat posed by deepfakes and are actively engaging with key stakeholders to formulate strategies. Legislative measures, such as California's Anti-Deepfake Bill, place responsibility on tech companies to combat the spread of malicious deepfakes. International discussions, exemplified by the recent talks between India's IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and social media platforms, underscore the global awareness and concern regarding the impact of deepfake technology. Major tech industry players, including Facebook, Google, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft, have joined forces in the Deepfake Detection Challenge. While motivated by the pursuit of public good, these tech giants are also cognizant of potential legal and regulatory ramifications surrounding deepfake technology. Tech Giants' Initiatives Efforts to combat deepfakes include the development of robust detection mechanisms employing sophisticated algorithms and artificial intelligence. However, the constant innovation by forgers to outsmart detection systems underscores the need for a multifaceted approach. Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identity In the battle against deepfakes, emerging technologies like verifiable credentials and decentralized identifiers offer a promising avenue for safeguarding digital integrity whilst maintaining privacy for security reasons, especially in the case of whistleblowers. Verifiable credentials enable the issuance and verification of information in a secure and tamper-resistant manner. This technology ensures that the authenticity of digital content can be verified, offering a potential solution to the challenges posed by deepfakes. Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identifiers: A Technical Deep Dive Verifiable Credentials (VCs) Verifiable Credentials (VCs) are a key component of the emerging field of decentralized identity. They provide a way to express and prove claims about an entity (such as a person, organization, or device) in a secure, tamper-evident, and privacy-preserving manner. VCs are typically comprised of three main components: Issuer The entity that creates and issues the verifiable credential. This could be a government, educational institution, employer, or any trusted organization. Holder The entity to whom the verifiable credential is issued. For example, an individual receiving a digital diploma or a professional certification. Verifier The entity that relies on the verifiable credential to make informed decisions. This could be a service provider, an employer, or any entity seeking to verify the authenticity of the presented information. Decentralized Identifier (DiD) Decentralized Identifiers (DiD) is a concept that emphasizes giving individuals and entities control over their digital identities without relying on a central authority. It leverages blockchain and distributed ledger technologies to provide a secure, transparent, and privacy-centric identity management solution. DIDs are unique identifiers that are not tied to a centralized registry but instead are anchored on decentralized networks. World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) plays a crucial role in setting standards for Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identity. W3C's Credential Community Group actively collaborates on defining specifications and standards that ensure interoperability and security in the implementation of VCs and DIDs. The goal is to create a universally accepted framework that can be implemented across various platforms and technologies. How Verifiable Credentials Combat Deepfakes Verifiable Credentials can be a powerful tool in combating deepfakes by introducing a layer of trust and authenticity into digital interactions. Here's how: Authenticity Verification Verifiable Credentials enable the inclusion of cryptographic proofs, ensuring that a trusted entity issues the credentials. When presented, these credentials can be cryptographically verified by the recipient, establishing the authenticity of the information, whilst ensuring privacy for the content creator; if required Tamper Resistance VCs are designed to be tamper-resistant. Any attempt to alter the information contained within a verifiable credential would break the cryptographic integrity, making it immediately apparent that the credential has been compromised. Selective Disclosure With VCs, individuals have control over what information they disclose. This means that personal information can be shared selectively, minimizing the risk of deepfake manipulation, where an entire identity is fabricated. Decentralization for Trust By leveraging decentralized identity, the reliance on a single, centralized authority for identity verification is reduced. This decentralized approach makes it more challenging for malicious actors to manipulate or forge credentials at scale. Example Scenario Consider a social media platform that wants to verify the authenticity of user-generated content to combat deepfake proliferation. Users can attach verifiable credentials to their content, certifying the source and authenticity of the information. These credentials, anchored on a decentralized identity system, are cryptographically verified by the platform. In this way, the platform and its users can collectively build a more trustworthy and secure environment, mitigating the impact of deepfake content. In conclusion, the technical foundations of Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identity, championed by standards set by organizations like W3C, offer a robust framework for combating deepfakes and fostering a more secure and trustworthy digital ecosystem.

Technical Updates A governance proposal for a node upgrade has been put forward and submitted to the Hypersign Identity Network (https://explorer.hypersign.id/hypersign-testnet/gov/11). This upgrade introduces a vital feature, conceptualized from our customer feedback, who is using Hypersign's Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) to construct a Web3 Reputation System. The new feature mandates that a blockchain address already associated with a DID Document cannot be added to another DID Document unless it's removed from the original DID Document or the said Document is deactivated. This approach effectively prevents the possibility of dual reputation scoring for DID Documents. Recognition We are excited to announce a significant achievement for Hypersign — our did:hid method has been officially recognized and accepted by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This demonstrates our unwavering commitment and continuous efforts to broaden the scope of W3C DiD core specifications to cover Web3 use cases. W3C's acceptance of the did:hid method aligns with Hypersign's mission to empower the web3 ecosystem by creating technology that helps manage self-sovereign identity in a decentralized way. It reaffirms our contribution to the evolution of digital identity management and further solidifies our position as pioneers in the SSI and Blockchain field. For more information about W3C DiD methods, visit https://w3c.github.io/did-spec-registries/#did-methods. Outreach As the month began, Hypersign was gearing up for a long-term initiative called Hack:DiD. This innovative hackathon is a cornerstone of our mission to empower the web3 ecosystem through education and the growth of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) knowledge. Hack:DiD is a hackathon launched by Hypersign in association with Dojima Network; a hackathon is a two-month event between 10th June and 15th August. Bengaluru Workshop — 10th June Our journey began in Bengaluru, the heart of India's tech hub. This is where we kicked off Hack:DiD with a grand inauguration. The Hypersign team, in collaboration with Dojima and our workspace partner Bhive Workspace, ignited the spark for this exciting journey.

Hello Gitopia Community, As the second quarter of 2023 draws to a close, we're excited to take a moment and reflect on the key accomplishments and significant strides we've made together in these past few months. From the highly anticipated Gitopia mainnet launch to various updates and improvements across Gitopia, we've seen tremendous progress and success in our mission to revolutionize code collaboration. This community update will touch upon our successful mainnet launch, liquidity launch, major chain and web improvements, Interchain bounties, and rewarding participation in the Game of LORE. Let's delve into the details. Mainnet Launch Recap The Gitopia mainnet has been fully operational since 17:05 UTC on May 17. Our journey to mainnet was an exciting and important milestone for the Gitopia community. It was marked by careful planning, thorough testing, and community-driven development, leading to our successful mainnet launch. Let's take a step back and highlight the key events in our path to this pivotal moment. May 6: Proposal to Halt the Testnet - A necessary proposal was put forward to halt the testnet, initiating the transition towards the mainnet. May 8: Testnet Halt and State Export - At block height 9,465,100 of the Janus testnet, we halted operations and exported the state. May 9: Mainnet State Published - The Game of LORE rewards were added to the genesis, and the pre-genesis state was published to the mainnet repository on GitHub. May 9-14: Mainnet GenTx Submissions - Validators submitted a GenTx as a PR to the mainnet repository to participate in the genesis ceremony. May 14: GenTx Submission Window Closes - GenTx transactions were collected, and the final genesis.json was pushed to the main repository. May 15-16: Validator Preparation - A two-day buffer was provided to validators to prepare their nodes for the mainnet launch. May 17: Mainnet Launch - With the validators ready and the system tested, the Gitopia mainnet was launched successfully. Our validators, particularly those who had been part of the testnet, played a crucial role in this successful launch. The genesis ceremony was instrumental in setting up the foundations of the Gitopia blockchain and enabling the creation of the initial validator set. As we now operate as a fully functioning mainnet, we are excited for what the future holds for Gitopia. Reflecting on the Game of $LORE As we conclude the second quarter of 2023, it's fitting to look back on one of the key milestones in our journey thus far - the Game of $LORE. This incentive mechanism has been instrumental in fostering the growth and development of the Gitopia ecosystem, rewarding those participants who made significant contributions to our Janus testnet. The $LORE, central to this mechanism, embodies the essence of Gitopia. More than just a token, it represents our philosophy of shared learning, growth, and collaboration - the foundational elements of our thriving community. Recognizing Our Contributors The strength of any community lies in the commitment and effort of its contributors. In the spirit of this principle, we were delighted to acknowledge and reward our diligent contributors with $LORE: An impressive 44,917 contributors received tokens, setting a positive tone for our reward mechanism. From this pool, 19 standout participants each received the maximum reward of 10,000 $LORE, in recognition of their exceptional contributions to the Game of $LORE. Honoring Our Validators Our validators play a crucial role in maintaining the network's stability and integrity: We were pleased to award $LORE to 297 validators for their tireless service to the network. Among these, three standout validators were awarded the maximum reward of 10,000 $LORE, highlighting their exemplary performance. The Game of $LORE successfully culminated, yielding an inspiring tally of participants and a generous distribution of $LORE: A total of 45,084 participants were awarded with $LORE, marking an exciting conclusion to the Game of $LORE. 1,842,062.3285 $LORE tokens were disbursed in total. The successful execution and conclusion of the Game of $LORE, alongside the distribution of rewards just before our mainnet launch, added momentum to Gitopia's continued progress. Gitopia's Liquidity Launch In an exhilarating series of events, we at Gitopia did our liquidity Bootstrapping, bringing liquidity to the markets using StreamSwap and Osmosis. The journey, which unfolded over several days in May and June, was not just an exciting time for us at Gitopia, but a major milestone for our ever-growing community. Here's a look back at our roadmap during this critical period: 24th May: We submitted a community proposal for StreamSwap transfer and initiated an education space to familiarize our community with the upcoming roadmap. 25th May: We went live with the proposal for Osmosis LP funds and LP LORE incentive gauge. 1st June: The Bootstrapping Phase on StreamSwap started, running for a full 48 hours. During this phase, the community deposited their $OSMO to subscribe to the stream and acquire $LORE. The proposal to unlock $LORE transfers on Gitopia went live during the same time. The voting period lasted for 48 hours, during which we encouraged our community members to participate and voice their opinion. 3rd June: As soon as the bootstrapping phase ended, we began the Streaming Phase on StreamSwap, which lasted for 4 hours. During this phase, the excitement in our community was palpable as $LORE started to make its way to its supporters. Simultaneously with the end of the Streaming Phase, Osmosis LP creation took place and funds were strategically added on both sides. This marked a critical point in our roadmap. $LORE transfers were also unlocked on the same day after the proposal passed. Note However, we experienced a few bumps along the road. Our IBC relayer with Osmosis encountered an unexpected freeze, causing a temporary halt to transfers between Gitopia and Osmosis. We quickly initiated a proposal to resolve this issue and unfreeze the relayer, maintaining transparency with our community throughout the process. Thanks to our community's understanding and patience, the issue was resolved after the proposal was passed, and transfers resumed two days later. These events represented significant milestones in Gitopia's journey and illustrated the power of community involvement in shaping our future. As we continue to innovate and evolve, we're grateful for the support and active participation of our community. Interchain Bounties: In our continuous efforts to foster an open-source culture, we've added Bounties to issues in our repositories. More than 40 bounties, worth roughly 100K in $LORE, are now up for grabs. Interchain Bounties are an innovative feature that allows users to crowdsource help for issues in their project's repositories on Gitopia. These bounties can be funded by the project or external organizations and are meant to incentivize developers to work on the project and help improve it. How it Works: Users can create issues, attach any IBC-compatible tokens as bounties to it, set a deadline, and invite meaningful contributions for a project. The project maintainer can then assign the issue to a contributor. Once the contributor's pull request linking to that issue is merged, attached bounties are automatically released to the contributor. To start with, we have added support for $OSMO in bounties. Now, project maintainers can add $OSMO apart from $LORE to incentivize contributions to their repositories. Support for other tokens will be added in a phased manner. Moreover, we are thrilled to share that the first $LORE bounty has been claimed! Get all the details here. There are many more bounties waiting in Gitopia DAO repositories, so hurry up and claim your bounty before they're all gone! This initiative reflects our commitment to a decentralized ecosystem, encouraging more contributors and enabling projects to leverage these tools. Remember, this is just the start, and we plan to add more bounties in the future, further rewarding open-source contributors for their efforts.

Other Updates: We shared an in-depth Twitter thread that articulates Gitopia's mission, vision, and guiding principles. This thread exemplifies our belief that Gitopia isn't just a platform - it's a movement towards a more inclusive, transparent, and decentralized future for code collaboration. We continue to value your feedback, ideas, and active participation as we shape the future of Gitopia. Gitopia has been integrated into the Keplr Wallet, providing a smoother experience for users to interact seamlessly with the Gitopia platform. Gitopia is now supported on Leap Wallet. This addition expands our reach and offers our community members more secure options for asset management. $LORE has been added to Osmosis Frontier, expanding the opportunities for trading and liquidity. The addition of BigDipper and PingPub as explorers for Gitopia has further enriched our ecosystem, providing comprehensive, user-friendly platforms to browse blockchain data. Gitopia made its presence in the Osmosis Twitter space (Updates from the Lab - Gitopia). The interactive session gave us an excellent platform to connect with the community, share insights, and discuss our upcoming plans. If you missed the session, you can catch up on all the exciting conversations by accessing the recording here.

PARTICIPATING IN THE FLOOPYLAND INVENTIVIZED TESTNET IS SUBJECT TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS DETAILED IN THIS LINK First, let's recall what 35-C, Dymension's first testnet brought us: The first ever fully modular testnet for RollApps. The first IBC-enabled rollup in blockchain history: RollApp X; and it's brother-in-arms, EVM RollApp the first ever EVM IBC-enabled rollup. Up until now, the Dymension network (35-C) has been a gated domain, allowing only Dymension's core team to deploy RollApps. This is about to change. It's time to reach uncharted realms. We're about to turn the tides and morph Dymension's testnet from a permissioned arena into a permission-less deployment testnet. A new Dymension is coming: Froopyland! Froopyland is a monumental leap towards realizing Dymension's grand vision — the internet of rollups, a public network of networks where we test how a crypto-native internet can look and feel. An internet where every server and every application is an IBC enabled instance able to prove its validity to all. The Incentives Froopyland, in its grand design, is not just about tech brilliance — it's also about stirring enthusiasm and distributing DYM (Dymension's native token) to a community committed to Dymension's vision. Therefore, for a significant part of its journey through time, Froopyland is set to offer incentives. Step into the mind bending world of Froopyland, where 1% of Dymension's total supply awaits the builders, Dymension community and hardcore Rollapes 💈 🦍 RollApp Deployers — 4M DYM RollApp Deployers (bearing the RollApp-fam Discord role): 40% of the reward pool awaits. The Dymension Portal will be a panoramic display of diverse modular RollApps. Think coinmarketcap but instead of coins, RollApps. Worth mentioning, this opportunity is reserved for Dymension community members with the RollApp-fam role. The key to unlocking these incentives lies in deploying a RollApp (made extremely easy with the help of the Roller tool, with rewards distributed in proportion to the RollApp uptime (Bonus for RPC endpoints availability). If you don't have a RollApp-fam role but you're a true builder contact us to describe your experience and your RollApp idea. Validators — 4M DYM Froopyland Validators: In recognition of your future and past efforts in bootstrapping the computational force that secures the Dymension Hub and RollApps, we dedicate 40% (4M DYM) of the incentive pool to the Dymension Hub validators. In order to tap into this reward pool, each validator team is required to deploy its own flagship RollApp. The distribution will be proportional to the uptime of the validator and the RollApp your team deploys. Testing users — 1M DYM Testers: A sweet 10% of the reward pool has been reserved for: Rollapes💈 🦍 (a new Discord role that will be introduced soon) — those of you who wisely interact with the testnet. We appreciate each one of you, irrespective of your technical skills. Top 10 RollApps — 1M DYM Top 10 RollApps, the crème de la crème: This is the opportunity to hit it big folks! and we mean BIG.

Smart contracts 1. Meet with the Smart Contracts Once you reach this stage, you are starting to develop a solid understanding of governance in the OKP4 protocol and an idea of how it is implemented, mainly through its powerful Prolog logical interpreter. In the upcoming chapters, I will delve more concretely into the different building blocks that shape the on-chain governance implementation, unveiling the architectural and technical specifics of the OKP4 protocol. 1.1 CosmWasm CosmWasm is the smart contract platform used by the OKP4 protocol. It offers a secure and efficient environment for executing smart contracts in multiple programming languages. One language in particular, Rust, stands out for its emphasis on safety, performance, and concurrency. We utilize Rust to build secure and efficient smart contracts within the OKP4 ecosystem, leveraging its benefits. 1.2 Storage-oriented Smart Contracts Ensuring proper mechanisms for storing and querying information in the blockchain is of utmost importance. Due to the diverse nature of information, it becomes necessary to have different types of storage to address specific requirements. Within the OKP4 protocol, we have introduced a class of smart contracts called "storage-oriented smart contracts." These contracts act as reliable repositories, offering secure, efficient, and auditable storage and retrieval of various data types on the blockchain. We have specifically focused on two classes of smart contracts: object storage and semantic storage. These smart contracts act as a foundational support layer for implementing governance, making them vital for its existence. 1.2.1 The Objectarium The Objectarium smart contract enables the storage of arbitrary unstructured Objects in any Cosmos blockchain. It provides a flexible solution for storing data without imposing strict schemas or predefined structures, accommodating various data formats and types. Key concepts Object: In the context of the Objectarium smart contract, an object refers to a piece of data stored on the blockchain. It can represent various types of information, such as documents, binary files, or any other digital content. Objects are immutable once stored and are identified by their cryptographic hash, which can be generated using algorithms like MD5 or SHA256. This ensures the integrity and security of the stored data, as any modification to the object would result in a different hash value. Bucket: The smart contract is organized around buckets. A bucket represents a logical container within the Objectarium smart contract instance that groups related Objects together. It acts as a storage unit for Objects and provides a context for managing and organizing them. Each bucket has a unique name and is associated with a set of configurations and limits that define its behaviour and characteristics. Pin: Pin refers to a mechanism that allows users to mark or "pin" specific objects within a bucket. Pinning an object serves as a way to ensure that the object remains in storage and cannot be removed (this is called "forgotten"). It provides protection and guarantees that the pinned object will persist in the protocol. When an object is pinned, it is associated with the identity (or sender) that performed the pinning action. Instantiation The Objectarium smart contract should be instantiated before being used, and an instance creates a bucket. The instantiation of the Objectarium smart contract allows the definition of usage policies, including limits on the maximum total size, object size, and number of objects, as well as the configuration of a hash algorithm for generating unique identifiers. Mutations Store Object: Allows the user to store an object in the bucket. The sender becomes the object's owner, referenced by the hash of its content. If the object is already stored, an error is returned. The user can pin the object, preventing its removal from storage. Additionally, the user can specify a compression algorithm to reduce storage space, although it may increase CPU usage and gas cost. Forget Object Unpins the object from the bucket for the sender and removes it from storage if it is no longer pinned. However, if other senders pin the object, it remains in storage, and an error is returned. Pin Object: The user can pin an object in the bucket for the sender. While an object is pinned, it cannot be removed from storage. Unpin Object: Allows the user to unpin an object from the bucket for the sender. Once unpinned, the object can be removed from storage if there are no other pins. Queries Bucket: Retrieves information about the bucket, including its name, configuration, limits… Object: Retrieves information about a specific object given its identifier, including the owner, pin status, size, compressed size, and compression algorithm. Objects: Retrieves a list of objects in the bucket with support for pagination. It allows filtering by the owner's address, limiting the number of objects returned and starting at a specific point in the sequence. Object Data: Retrieves the content of a specific object based on its identifier. Object Pins: Retrieves a list of addresses that have pinned a specific object with support for pagination. 1.2.2 The Cognitarium The Cognitarium smart contract facilitates the storage and querying of semantic data using RDF (Resource Description Framework), which represents information as semantic triples. In essence, it serves as a repository for knowledge, providing a dedicated space for storing and retrieving semantic information within any Cosmos blockchains. Key concepts Semantic Triples: The Cognitarium smart contract implements a variant of a triple store (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triplestore), a data structure used to store and query RDF (Resource Description Framework) triples. RDF triples consist of subject-predicate-object statements that represent relationships between entities. Data Formats: The Cognitarium smart contract supports multiple data formats for serializing/de-serializing RDF triples, such as RDF/XML, Turtle, N-Triples, and N-Quads. The data format can be specified where relevant, allowing users to interact with the smart contract using their preferred format. Contract Owner Authorization: Only the smart contract owner, i.e., the address that instantiated the contract, can perform mutations (inserting and deleting data) on the Cognitarium. This authorization mechanism ensures that only trusted entities can modify the smart contract's state. Instantiation: The Cognitarium smart contract should be instantiated before being used, and an instance creates a logical container where triples are stored. By instantiating the smart contract, you can define limitations on the use of storage. These limitations include the maximum number of triples, the maximum byte size, the maximum triple size, the maximum query limit, the maximum number of query variables, the maximum insert data byte size and the maximum number of insert data triples, … Configuring these limitations is crucial to ensure the security and performance of the contract instance. It is important to adjust them according to the desired contract policy. Mutations: Insert Data: Inserts RDF triples into the store. It allows to specification the data format (e.g. RDF XML, Turtle, NTriples, NQuads), which specifies how the triples are de-serialized, and the data itself in binary format. Delete Data: Deletes RDF triples from the store based on specified patterns defined by a query. The previous mutations can only be performed by the smart contract owner, which refers to the address that instantiated the contract. Queries: Queries provide a means to access knowledge. However, it is essential to note that due to the constrained environment in which smart contracts execute, the Cognitarium may offer different query flexibility than a traditional database. However, it still provides a functional range that allows targeted access to knowledge in a suitable representation, ensuring access to the desired information. Select: The Select query allows users to retrieve semantic resources that meet specific criteria defined in the query. By executing a Select query, the Cognitarium returns a result set of resources that match the specified conditions. Users can define the query parameters, such as prefixes, select items (variables to be replaced), a WHERE clause for filtering, and an optional limit on the number of results. The Select query provides a flexible way to retrieve specific data from the semantic store. Describe: The Describe query is used to obtain a detailed description of a specific resource identified by an IRI (Internationalized Resource Identifier). The Describe query enables users to retrieve a comprehensive representation of a resource's attributes and relationships in a format that suits their needs. By executing a Describe query, the smart contract returns a set of RDF triples that describe the resource in question. Users can specify the resource to describe using its IRI and the desired format for the serialized triples (e.g., RDF/XML, Turtle, N-Triples, N-Quads). It should be noted that these two query forms are subject to the limitations set in the contract instance. These limitations are in place to ensure security, performance, and resource management within the smart contract environment. They define constraints such as the maximum number of triples returned by a Select query, the maximum number of variables that can be selected, and the maximum size of an insert data query. 1.3 Sovereignty-oriented Smart Contracts 1.3.1 The "sovereignty" class As you already know, smart contracts are self-executing agreements with terms directly written in code, stored and executed on a blockchain. Among these contracts, the OKP4 protocol recognizes a specific class: sovereignty-oriented smart contracts. These contracts are designed to prioritize the sovereignty of the involved parties by allowing them to define and enforce their own rules and regulations. For further information on this topic, please refer to Part I of this saga. The implementation of on-chain governance in the OKP4 protocol relies on this specific class of smart contracts, with the first one being responsible for the legislative aspects of governance: The Law Stone. 1.3.2 The Law Stone The Law-Stone is a highly versatile smart contract designed to apply and enforce legislative rules, including Zone rules, Consents, and Agreements. It offers extraordinary adaptability and can be utilized in any blockchain within the Cosmos ecosystem that seeks to establish robust and flexible on-chain governance systems. With its exceptional proficiency in evaluating logical rules, Law-Stone can be applied across various use cases. The smart contract has two sides: The side of the "Law": Indeed, the smart contract interprets the law, i.e. makes a judgement on what is legal, permissible or prohibited according to the result of execution of the rules of governance informed by the knowledge available at the time of this interpretation. The side of the "Stone": The instantiation of the smart contract engraves in stone the rules to be interpreted, and these are immutable, irrevocable, and indisputable unless the stone is broken. Key concepts Prolog: Yes, you know it already; the well-known Logic Programming Language is used to encode the law rules and facts in the OKP4 protocol. The Prolog program, which carries the immutable Laws, is provided during the contract's instantiation, symbolically engraving them into a Stone. The Stone: Similar to the laws engraved on stone tablets, the Law Stone represents an intangible and unalterable foundation of legal principles within the contract. Once carved in the stone, which occurs during the instantiation of the smart contract, the laws become indisputable, ensuring their strength, effects, and application. One instance — one stone — one law: This principle implies that each instance of the Law-Stone smart contract represents a distinct Law (i.e. governance), ensuring the separation and independence of the laws. Each instance's unique power, effects, and scope define its specific governance. Objectarium storage: In the Law-Stone smart contract, the responsibility for storing logical programs is delegated to the Objectarium smart contract. By separating the storage functionality from the Objectarium, the Law-Stone contract can focus on interpreting the Prolog programs. At the same time, the Objectarium handles the secure and efficient storage of Prolog programs. This design choice aligns with the principle of Single Responsibility, ensuring that each contract focuses on its specific task. Law Composability: The principle of "Law Composability" allows for the reusability and composition of the Prolog code. By leveraging the "consult/1" predicate, logical Prolog code can be imported from the Objectarium, enabling the construction of new logic programs by combining existing pieces of rules. This flexibility promotes modularity and code composition, facilitating the creation of intricate and tailored legal logic within the Law Stone contract. Break the Stone: Refers to the specific and irreversible action that renders the contract null and unusable. This metaphorical term symbolizes the act of terminating the agreement by breaking the stone on which its words are inscribed. By breaking the rock, the contract is effectively rendered inoperable, preventing any further execution of queries, actions, or interactions. Due to its irreversible consequences and the potential effects it could generate, the authorization to break the stone is typically restricted to the contract administrator. Instantiation: The Law-Stone smart contract requires instantiation before it can be used, creating a new Stone where the law is engraved. By instantiating the smart contract, you provide the Prolog program containing the law rules and facts, along with the address of the Objectarium contract where the logical program will be stored. Mutation: Break the Stone: As its name suggests, this operation breaks the stone, making the contract unusable. It clears all the related resources, such as unpinning pinned objects on the Objectarium contract and forgetting the Prolog program. Only the contract admin, if any, can execute this message. Query: Ask: Enables users to seek the interpretation of the law, obtaining judgments on what is deemed legal, permissible, or prohibited. This interpretation of the law is intricately tied to the context at hand, which encompasses a set of accepted facts such as the state of the blockchain or the available knowledge. Questioning the law is the foundational process that gives birth to governance, as it yields answers that establish the rules and boundaries in a specific context. 1.3.3 The Pactum The Pactum smart contract is designed to streamline and automate the execution of agreements involving multiple parties. In contrast to the Law-Stone, which primarily focuses on expressing or stating the law, the Pactum's core function is to actively execute the law by the predefined terms outlined in the agreement. By leveraging the power of Prolog provided by the Law-Stone smart contract, the Pactum facilitates the seamless implementation of agreed-upon terms and ensures the proper enforcement of contractual obligations. This smart contract is essential in the governance framework implemented in the OKP4 protocol, particularly in regulating the orchestration of digital resources, which involves many parties. Key concepts Agreement: An agreement between two or more parties that outlines the terms, conditions, and obligations each party agrees to abide by. This agreement is represented by a Prolog program engraved in a Law-Stone instance. Sealing Conditions: This segment of the agreement delineates the prerequisites that must be fulfilled for the contract to be deemed complete and unmodifiable, ensuring its readiness for execution. For instance: Required Approvals / Signatures: These conditions ascertain when all parties consider the agreement approved or accepted. Token Holdings: These conditions verify if the token quantities held by each party align with the agreed-upon requirements. Contract Effect: This segment of the agreement outlines the anticipated results or actions expected to occur upon the successful execution of the contract, encompassing activities such as fund transfers or other specified effects. In the forthcoming articles delving into the OKP4 protocol, there will be a detailed exploration of the Pactum smart contract, specifically within the context of Orchestration.

This year, Althea is evolving towards fulfilling its original vision, becoming a global, decentralized, multi-entity ecosystem. We're excited to launch a series of blog posts along with the rebrand of the Althea website in anticipation of Althea L1: the settlement layer for open-access infrastructure. Althea L1 is a purpose-built hybrid EVM blockchain for connectivity and networked utilities, the first to be engineered from the ground up, together with its community of users. This is the first in a series of posts that detail the vision of Althea, its history, its technical foundations, and where it's heading. The Althea Vision Althea's telecom stack and Layer 1 blockchain enable the future of communication between autonomous machines and humans: composable and automatic interconnections, interactions, and transactions. Today's legacy telecom systems create artificial dead-ends and silos via rental models and inefficient connection agreements. Instead, Althea imagines a future where: You can buy, sell and fund telecom and infrastructure assets in new ways. You can own a mile of fiber optic cable or part of a telecom tower without having to buy the entire ISP or business. The friction of building and connecting networks is removed. Traffic and payments flow seamlessly and synchronously across networks, creating open markets instead of silos. The cost of connectivity goes down while the availability of bandwidth goes up. Prepaid, accessible billing meets people where they are, making underserved areas economically viable. There are no more plastic cards or invoices — all payments are performed via seamless machine-to-machine interactions. Building decentralized infrastructure products and services is easy, with open access to Althea's hardware-agnostic, purpose-built settlement layer: a Stripe for machine-to-machine transactions. Althea's Foundations: 2018 to 2023 In 2018, founders Jehan Tremback, Justin Kilpatrick, and Deborah Simpier observed that telecom and infrastructure networks were expensive, brittle, and inaccessible not because there wasn't enough capital or manpower, but because the systems were fundamentally flawed. And in a small Oregon town with slow, costly, and unreliable internet, the first Althea network was born. https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*Ec3Y8inZ_8duwYdoiwppxA.jpeg Through the following years, the Althea price-aware mesh routing protocol (Babeld) and billing stack (Rita) solved many communities' connectivity problems. These protocols enable flexible billing and "always on" free tiers, encouraging sustainable connectivity via novel systems of revenue share and multi-entity ownership. https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*nlvAuGa2_kjRpEwKUk_NaA.png Instead of creating a blockchain with no users and trying to adapt it to real-world use cases, Althea's founders started building on the accessible xDai (Gnosis) chain, which allowed for rapid iteration, deployment in real-world settings, and a continuous feedback loop with early users. This tight feedback loop forged a system that aligns users, network operators, and autonomous machines. Althea works for everyone. Many different entities began to use Althea technology to solve connectivity problems, from communities in Nigeria, to farmers in Indiana, to OEM auto manufacturers. Today, Althea technology has been deployed in 10 US states and 4 countries. https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*eLfWuV1K04ZlCazUOw7rRA.jpeg And these diverse use-cases spawned new, composable tooling that augments the Althea stack. For example, AgFiber — Althea-enabled fiber optic cable deployed for farm machinery — and KeyLTE — an embedded packet core in the home router — further empower users in their choices and deployment of networked infrastructure. They also demonstrate that Althea is hardware agnostic: it works across everything from LTE to fixed wireless, WiFi, or fiber optic. https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*JSCsdLKPEhstZUCNAU1rvw.jpeg Conduit for an Althea fiber optic network ready to be deployed in Illinois. In early 2020, the Althea protocol began to outgrow the xDai chain, accounting for over two-thirds of the chain's transactions. It became increasingly clear that Althea's vision of becoming the global settlement layer for connected devices and networked infrastructure requires a purpose-built chain, designed for open-access infrastructure. The New Machine Economy Althea is not just a technology stack; it is the foundation of a new economic system, one that serves both humans and autonomous machines. This new machine economy must enable both new builders and existing entities to coordinate and transact utilizing a robust and reliable settlement layer without having to build bespoke technical infrastructure. Its settlement layer must provide: High reliability and up-time Specificity of block space Flexibility and composability for easy application development Agnostic and credible neutrality Multi-chain integrations Through analyzing these requirements, we landed upon the final specification of Althea L1. In future blog posts, we'll take deeper dives into the Althea L1 blockchain and the novel paradigms it enables, such as Liquid Infrastructure. In the meantime, if you're interested in learning more about Althea, come connect with us! __________ https://www.althea.net/ https://twitter.com/AltheaNetwork https://discord.com/invite/hHx7HxcycF

Lava Network is a marketplace for RPC calls, enabling developers to access blockchain data through APIs in a secure, decentralized, and scalable manner. The decentralized web has grown too complex to manage node infrastructure, leading to rate-limited public endpoints and centralized providers. These solutions have limitations, including censorship concerns, persistent throttling issues, and a tragedy of the commons problem. To address these issues, Lava Network has emerged as a trustless peer-to-peer marketplace for RPC calls, enabling developers to be matched with node operators on any chain to communicate between dApps and their blockchain of choice. Scalability and Robustness at the Core of Lava The key feature of Lava Network is its scalability and robustness, designed to handle high transaction volumes, minimize gas fees during peak periods, and reduce on-chain data. Through backfilling, separation of roles, vertical scaling, and data minimization, Lava Network ensures high quality node service by holding providers accountable using cryptographically signed messages and aligned token incentives. As a result, the network eliminates the censorship concerns that come with centralized providers and encourages network redundancy to ensure uptime. Conflict Detection and Resolution for Trust and Security One of Lava Network's critical features is Conflict Detection and Resolution, which ensures the network operates accurately and smoothly. Providers are incentivized to provide honest data, and malicious or faulty actors are disincentivized through slashing, burning, and jailing. This mechanism promotes trust and security, as well as accurate and fresh data on the blockchain. Privacy Protection Lava Network is committed to privacy and minimizes profiling abilities by randomly distributing Consumer relays to Providers on the Pairing List. The network also implements a mixer mechanism that eliminates the possibility of Providers creating a fragmented image of a Consumer's query history, ensuring private pairing and communication. This approach ensures that user data and privacy are protected. Lava Network's Vision and Mission Lava Network's vision and mission are centered on the belief that blockchain data should be accurate and that access to this data should be scalable, private, and uncensored. The Lava team aims to power a market for blockchain data with aligned token incentives and an open-source protocol for RPC nodes and APIs. As the network expands, Lava Network's modular onboarding of new blockchains will support each ecosystem of applications, making it easier for developers to access blockchain data across different chains, geographies, and API specifications. Conclusion In conclusion, Lava Network provides a secure, decentralized, and censorship-resistant marketplace for RPC calls, enabling developers to access blockchain data in a scalable and reliable manner. Its innovative approach promotes network redundancy, incentivizes accurate and fresh data on the blockchain, and promotes trust and security. Therefore the Lava Network advances the transition to decentralized ownership and new mechanisms to solve complex coordination and financing issues.

We've spoken about it recently, but now we're happy to announce the launch of Agamotto, Ojo's Network that is now live! This launch phase brings us one step closer to our goal; to become the first cross-chain price oracle to generate authentic, real-time price feeds for all IBC assets in the Cosmos ecosystem. Today will mark the start of our launch into the mainnets of a number of permissionless chains within the Cosmos ecosystem. These platforms will be receiving manipulation-proof feeds on the prices of the tokens that our validators will be providing for Cosmos-first IBC assets with sufficient liquidity. DeFi protocols can now start to adopt these feeds from the moment we deploy a contract to them. Our validators will be running our price feeder to access multiple APIs to collect a wide range of price data off-chain that will then be voted upon and communicated in real-time to these chains. We're up to an 18-second latency on price feeds, which is a massive improvement up the previous 30-second speed. The goal is to eventually get to a point where we can provide feeds for more than 60 assets to protocols within the Cosmos ecosystem and beyond! Stay tuned to see which IBC tokens we will be relaying feeds for in the next couple of weeks! With the launch of Agamotto, we'll also be testing out a new airdrop module, as a chance to improve the community reward system going forward. Keep an eye out for announcements on that very soon. As DeFi grows to become more commonplace, we rise with it to become the first Cosmos price oracle, soon to provide true and secure price feeds for all Cosmos and cross-chain assets.
