ELA merged mining hash power
ELA merged mining, as a crucial component of AuxPoW+DPoS, an Elastos hybrid consensus mechanism, has greatly guaranteed the security of Elastos’s main network by borrowing bitcoin’s powerful hash power. Besides, major mining pools show their support for Elastos and join ELA merged mining in succession. In this way, the main network of Elastos will get stronger and stronger. Data show that the highest peak value of the main network hash power of Elastos is about 53.4% of the total network hash power of BTC.

Abstract: elastos has launched many main side chains such as the ELA main chain, ID side chain and ETH side chain. Many dApp including Identity, Assit, Wallet, feeds and plug-in wallet MetaMask that support ETH side chain have accumulated many users in the community. The operation of these APPs depends on API services. API services is needed to read the data on the chain and exchange information with the chain.

As of now, API services are faced with obstacles such as lack of server resources, inability to obtain timely upgrades and maintenance, and low security due to the lack of financial support. Problems such as poor availability, low stability, and vulnerability to attacks still exist. These problems act as a time bomb of the elastos ecology and will have a severe negative impact on the entire elastos ecology when explosive growth of feeds, DeFi and other application users occur. As a result, it will restrict the development of elastos ecology.

Under the support of this proposal, we will apply multiple servers to form an elastos node cluster, and guarantee the stability and availability of API services through some redundancy design, ensuring the security, stability, and reliability of API services under high traffic conditions. It can provide solid basement support for the ecological development of elastos.

Proposal status: in the process

The above proposals are still in heated discussion. If you have better ideas, please visit the CR webpage, leave a message and discuss. Website address 👇

· Overview of ecological applications ·

● Interview with KP, head of the Tuum Tech team of Elastos Overseas Community: Ethereum’s rising GAS fees damage DeFi and the Ethereum ecosystem itself.

● After Elastos announced its integration with Chainlink, a market-leading service provider for decentralized oracle, Vulcan Link has been striving to move Chainlink’s decentralized oracle service from Ethereum to Elastos. This is also part of Vulcan Link’s expectations of the future market demand for side chains, as the second-tier dApps require reliable price data as a reference.

Please visit the test website to check the data: https://elastos.feeds.link/ela-usd

At present, the preliminary proof of concept of ELA/USD has been completed on the Elastos sidechain test website. Therefore, Vulcan Link recently shared the development plans for the next step. These plans will facilitate the launch of Chainlink oracle services on Elastos.

● Elaphat team announced the follow-up progress of the previous proposal on the integration of the Web 3.0 engine and the development of FIL coin function on CR. Specific progress of the joint transplant and development of three DeFi basic protocols: TokSwap, Quicksilver and ShadowTokens in conjunction with Elabank and community developers have also been clarified.
