    A big thanks to the whole Etherum Community from us at InstaDApp

    Posted: 02 Oct 2019 10:55 AM PDT

    Yesterday, we announced our seed round, which is major milestone in our journey to bring defi to the masses. Today, we would like to give thanks of gratitude to the ethereum, and in particular the defi community, whose support has been essentially to getting us to this point.

    A few years ago, we were 2 teenagers from India, with no network or connections in the ecosystem, only a deep interest in the potential of financial markets to change lives, and the possibility of using decentralized technology to change the way finance works.

    Looking for a way to enter the space, we triangulated on improving the user experience for using decentralized financial services, since that was the main area that needed improving. With that purpose in mind, we entered the excellent ETHIndia hackathon (organized by ETHGlobal). We developed a cool interface on top of MakerDAO and were lucky enough to win it, which provided us the platform to showcase our work to the wider community.

    From there, we were kindly invited by Kyber Networks to Singapore, where we met Loi Luu and the rest of the amazing team. After some discussions, they kindly extended to us an innovation grant to build whatever service we felt was needed in the space. That grant, essentially, was the beginning of InstaDApp.

    Starting from there, we continued exploring our core purpose of simplifying DeFi, starting with clean, simple interfaces for Compound and Maker. We eventually moved on to building our own contracts to streamline complex transactions, and creating a smart wallet layer to make complex operations between protocols.

    At every step of the way, the Ethereum community has been incredibly supportive, particularly those in the defi space. It is hard to imagine a community that would be so open to new ideas, particularly from 2 unknown Indian kids. 😅

    Their encouragement and validation have been critical for us, particularly when things did not work as well at the start. We would also like to do a shoutout to Ryan, Anthony, Eric, David amongst others whose support has been extremely helpful to us.

    After many rounds of iteration, testing, and feedback from the community, we launched Protocol Bridge, which facilitated debt swapping between Maker and Compound. This was extremely well received by the community and took us to the traction we have today.

    We have also been direct beneficiaries of Defi. We have been using DeFi for almost our entire formative lives, including accepting grants, doing payrolls and financing our expenses. In fact, we financed our NYC blockchain trip by taking the loan on Maker CDP (who wants to sell ETH? LOL).

    In summary, we are grateful to the Ethereum community in every way. From the amazing support rendered in every part of the way, to the innovation that allowed us to sustain ourselves, to the way we are able to openly collaborate with protocols developed all over the world.

    We look forward to working with the rest of the Ethereum ecosystem to simplify DeFi, and make it even more accessible to the masses! This space is amazing.

    Need Your Input: Georgia Tech Research on Crypto Investors

    Posted: 02 Oct 2019 11:50 AM PDT

    As part of Georgia Tech's Create-X program, I'm doing research on crypto investors. We're conducting open-ended surveys with questions derived from the Reddit community.

    If you have any questions about crypto investors that you'd like answered, please comment below. The questions with the most upvotes will be added to my next research surveys.

    I made a series of posts earlier this year asking Redditors to participate in my research, and over 400 of you did so.

    Here are the results and analysis of the first part of my research.

    Thanks for your support!

    Is any developer here planning on using the Syscoin-Ethereum bridge, which is now close to being moved from beta to mainnet?

    Posted: 02 Oct 2019 07:36 AM PDT

    I'm talking about this:

    The Syscoin <=> Ethereum bridge is a system that allows Sys and Sys assets to be moved from the Syscoin blockchain to the Ethereum blockchain and back.

    Docs here: https://github.com/syscoin/sysethereum-docs

    And below, I'm pasting a longer summary from this source: https://syscoin.org/syscoin-bridge

    The initial implementation of the Syscoin Bridge technology connects the Syscoin blockchain to the Ethereum blockchain. This allows Syscoin developers to gain access to the powerful smart contract capabilities of the Ethereum network, as well as all the toolkits present in the Ethereum ecosystem.

    Platforms such as Metamask, ERC-20 DEXs, MyEtherWallet, Ledger and others can now be accessed from Syscoin 4.0 via the Syscoin Bridge ERC-20 token: SysE. This provides an opportunity to Ethereum users as well, since they are now able to convert their ETH-based ERC-20 token to a Syscoin Asset - which has a higher throughput rate; is backed by PoW and allows for rapid (Visa/Mastercard speed) point-of-sale transactions (~10 second settlement time) using Z-DAG.

    For example, you could use the Syscoin-based asset on the main Syscoin chain for point-of-sale applications, which would be backed by the security of Proof-Of-Work, then use the Syscoin bridge to move from SYS to SysE (an ERC-20 token on Ethereum). The SysE can then be used to interact with smart contracts (for example) on the Ethereum chain, such as a marketplace smart contract that requires SysE for execution and pays fees back to users as dividends.

    Devcon apps - sneaky peek

    Posted: 02 Oct 2019 11:01 AM PDT

    Hidden in plain sight on the App Store and Play Store... look what I found...

    For iPhone

    https://apps.apple.com/us/app/devcon-2019/id1481053031

    For Android

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.ackee.a4e.devcon

    They're probably not ready for hardcore planning as some of the talks don't seem to be final. Suspect the Ethereum hamsters are hard at work/play.

    Does Casper FFG take it's checkpoints from current POW main chain?

    Posted: 02 Oct 2019 02:38 AM PDT

    Does Casper FFG in phase 0 take its checkpoints from the current ETH 1.0 POW chain? I'm reading a lot of conflicting material on this. The Casper FFG paper describes taking a checkpoint at every 50 POW blocks - has this changed? Blocks on POW chain are created every 12 - 15 seconds, so 50 blocks is ~ 60 - 75 seconds, who it will take 2 checkpoints ( 120 - 150 seconds) to finalise a transaction. So is this the case? Will it take 2 minutes for my transaction to finalise with Casper FFG POS?

    Questions about sharding/beacon chain

    Posted: 02 Oct 2019 12:19 PM PDT

    Ciao,
    I have some questions about ETH 2.0, I am not sure about these.

    1. Shards can talk to other shards thanks to beacon chain (because their states are saved on it)?
    2. Every shard can execute ~10-15 tps? 1000 shards means in theory 10k tps.
    3. But how about beacon chain? I mean those states needs to be saved, how many tps can beacon chain handle? I suppose it is ~10-15 tps too. But because we only save states it is enough for 10k tps from shards (?)
    4. Is beacon chain POS too? Does it pick validators for itself?

    Thank you
