Picking a cryptocurrency with a guaranteed return is practically hard today, especially since many new cryptocurrencies are being created and released every so often. That choice is made much more difficult by the current crypto winter, which saw every token decline. 

However, there are still a few good cryptos resisting the bearish momentum. Let’s take a deeper look at EOS (EOS), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Orbeon Protocol (ORBN), which is presently in the third round of its presale.

EOS (EOS)

EOS (EOS) supports the development of economically feasible decentralized apps or dApps. Businesses now have the capacity to create blockchain applications similar to web apps thanks to EOS.

Even Binance has made it possible to transfer USDT on the EOS platform. Thanks to this announcement, the EOS (EOS) token rose beyond $1 in more than a month.

Lately, EOS has had a strong rise of over 10%. As Solana (SOL) and Polygon (MATIC) deal with the current FTX crash, it appears that EOS is the best layer 1 asset for those looking for the fastest transaction processing times. 

Due to investor confidence in EOS, analysts predict that EOS will be an attractive layer 1 choice and climb another 20 to 30% in 2023. If EOS is able to live up to the expectations, its investors stand to reap a great ROI.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

As with many other cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin (DOGE) price dropped significantly last year. The meme currency, however, managed to maintain its value and retain its place.

At the start of 2022, Dogecoin (DOGE) traded at a price that was almost 76% below its all-time high of $0.74. On January 1st, it cost $0.175. Thankfully, Dogecoin moved from the range, rebounded off the low support level, and then rose over $0.15.

The initial bullish surge is wonderful news for Dogecoin (DOGE) token holders even though Dogecoin has still been trading inside a range for a longer time period. 

Dogecoin (DOGE) is set to go bullish when it breaks through the nearby resistance level. Most investors and the Dogecoin community are optimistic that the upward move will take place any time this year.

Orbeon Protocol (ORBN)

Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) seeks to revolutionize the venture capital sector by letting businesses use the blockchain-based investment platform to mint and offer equity-backed NFTs to backers. 

Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) will create fractionalized NFTs supported by legitimate businesses, enabling everyone to invest even $1 in a share of a firm they believe in.

For individuals concerned about security, Orbeon Protocol’s smart contract has the unique “Fill or Kill” mechanism that will ensure investors receive their money back after investing in a business that fails to achieve its funding goal within a given time. The Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) liquidity pool is also locked for ten years to prevent any rug pulls. 

Numerous advantages and privileges come with holding the Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) token. For instance, holding the Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) token entitles you to staking rewards, which generate passive revenue, and access to special funding groups. You also get discounts on trading fees. 

Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) is currently in the third phase of its presale. Many analysts expect Orbeon Protocol (ORBN) to be worth $0.24 by the end of the presale, representing a huge price hike from its initial presale price of $0.004.

EOS Network Foundation weighs to sue parent Block.one for $4.1 billion

by

The EOS Network Foundation, the entity established to assist the EOS ecosystem’s growth, is exploring legal action against estranged parent Block.one, demanding $4.1 billion in damages.

CEO of EOS Network Foundation Yves La Rose made the announcement through his tweet. He wrote, ” As Founder of @EosNFoundation, I share your frustrations! We are taking further steps to hold @B1 accountable for its past actions and broken promises against #EOS—review of all possible legal recourse to seek $4.1B in damages underway. Let’s do this together! #4BillionDAO coming.

Much needed step to protect the interest of EOS community

He wrote in a blog that the foundation has appointed a Canadian law firm to evaluate Block.one’s activities and commitments to the EOS community and investors to see whether alternatives are available for legal proceedings. He mentioned that they are aware that many members of the EOS community feel that Block.one has not kept its word about earlier pledges. The community and individual EOS users have been affected as a result of their actions.

He added that in November and December 2021, they had participated in talks with Block.one to seek to establish a fair and reasonable conclusion with Block.one, which would position the EOS community for future success. He noted that “Block.one opted to walk away from the discussions and as a result the EOS Block Producers agreed it was in the best interest of the community to freeze the vesting of all the EOS tokens that Block.one planned to earn in the future.”

They had raised $4.1 billion in its initial coin offering (ICO) in 2018. La Rose laid the responsibility solely on the shoulders of its primary investor when the blockchain protocol fell short of expectations. The EOS community felt that Block.one has switched its focus and money, including its vested EOS tokens, to the new crypto exchange Bullish, which was introduced in May 2021.

On December 8, the EOS community chose to suspend payments to Block.one. The decision comes amid ongoing discussions among the community regarding the dependability of Block.one .They stated that the business had afflicted the network with centralization.

Block.one announces 45M EOS tokens transfer to Helios to support growth

by

Blockchain technology specialized software company Block.one officially announced that it will transfer 45 million EOS ( roughly$209 million) to a decentralized platform Helios led by Block Pierce. It will also create an EOS venture capital fund to expand the infrastructure and to support developers.

As per the press release, the company is continuously avoiding to act as a centralized entity for any public implementation of the EOSIO software. It recognizes the power in open-source collaborations that offers freedom to govern, build, and iterate the system to the contributors.

Block.one says that the open-source system preserves the decentralized nature along with the natural development of EOS and EOSIO-based assets. The company says through Helios, its main focus is to develop and deliver EOSIO along with increased investment in the EOSIO ecosystem. The company also includes supporting new innovators as its primary goal. Along with that, Block.one focuses on the development of EOSIO infrastructure and incubation of new businesses.

The network growth has been the primary focus for the company as it seeks to dominate the DeFi industry.

“Over the last three years we have watched the EOS community and network evolve, and we have put a great deal of consideration into how we can leverage our own EOS token holdings to help further fuel the network’s growth.”

said the company in the press release

Helios aims to serve the EOS community

Helios, the recipient of the 45 million EOS tokens is focused on serving the EOS community with high intention. It will create an EOS Venture Capital Fund along with supporting infrastructure creation. It also has agreed to create institutional-level EOS financial products along with providing the facility of tooling and documentation to the developers.

The announcement also mentions that Helios will be responsible for organizing and managing community events to educate, expand the network, and develop use cases.

Block.one is hoping that this step will empower and expand the EOS network. The company added that it hopes for a ton of new opportunities and participants in the system. The company also aims to increase the liquidity of the EOS-based projects. 

LiquidApps Employs Bifrost Bridge To Bolster The Presence Of EOS In The DeFi Space

by

Decentralized finance [DeFi] has garnered impeccable traction over the last couple of months. LiquidApps, a platform focused on optimizing decentralized development seemed to be aiding the growth of the DeFi market.

While the DeFi space has managed to lure in an array of individuals, it still suffers from siloed blockchains. However, LiquidApps seems to be on a mission to change this by building cross-chain bridges. With this decentralized development solution provider, EOS is all set to become the “first truly decentralized chain to integrate USDC.”

LiquidApps To Boost The DeFi Space With Its Cross-Chain Bridge

LiquidApps created an uproar in the crypto market with the launch of a cross-chain medium that allows users to transfer tokens or data to different blockchains without any hassle. Now, the platform is making use of the Bifrost bridge, developed the community-led DAPP Account DAO (DAD), to allow the free flow of USDC or DAI to be bi-directionally transferred between Ethereum and EOS.

The aforementioned community, DAD has also rolled out eCurve, an EOS clone of the decentralized exchange Curve, that has witnessed over $1 million of DAI/USDC liquidity cross over it from Ethereum. eCurve stands out as the network carries out feeless transactions while being time-efficient. However, the transactions on Ethereum’s Curve cost anywhere between $1-200 each and take up to 10-15 minutes.

More recently, EOS lost one of its major DeFi projects to the Binance Smart Chain. This bridge could pose as a savior for the network in broadening and establishing ground in the DeFi space. This can be viewed as a proof of concept employing EOS.

Additionally, the DAD bridge can also pave the way for arbitrage across chains. A total of three stablecoins including, wrapped DAI, wrapped USDC, and EOS USDT are a part of the eCurve’s three-coin swap pool. The possibility of ETH users swapping their USDC or DAI to any stablecoin to a stablecoin with the highest ratio in the pool stands even though one-thirds model fall out of equilibrium.

Elaborating on the emergence of the DeFi space and cross-chain bridges, Raman Bindlish, the founder of Blockstart a prominent DSP on the DAPP network stated,

“These are exciting times for us as developers of the technology as years of hard work from multiple teams coming to fruition. We are seeing the vision of multi-chain DeFi materialize and it can really enable the solutions that can scale to the same level as traditional finance.”

The progression of the DeFi space is inevitable. With several platforms making their way into the DeFi space, the existing ones are forced to keep up with the needs of their users and LiquidApps seems to be heading in the same direction.

Binance Smart Chain Welcomes EOS’s Largest DeFi Platform

by

Binance Smart Chain [BSC] has seen tremendous development. In terms of liquidity and decentralized applications [dApps], BSC is becoming a major player in the industry. Hence, it is safe to say that it has emerged as one of the most distinguished alternatives to not just the Ethereum network but also to EOS. The latter lost one of the biggest decentralized finance [DeFi] projects to the Binance ecosystem this week.

The DeFi platform in question is ‘Effect Network‘ which is headed for a switch in its development from the EOS network to the Binance Smart Chain. The developers cited concerns regarding the future and viability of the EOS blockchain as one of the most prominent reasons for relocation.

It is important to note that the founder and Chief Technology Officer of EOS’s parent firm Block.one, Daniel Larimer had left the company nearly a couple of months ago. Furthermore, the controversial departure led to many questions regarding his inability to bring about viable solutions to the many issues plaguig the EOS ecosystem.

Talking about the growing confidence in Binance Smart Chain instead, Effect Network’s CEO Chris Dawe reportedly stated,

“Look at what the Binance organization has accomplished in only the last three years. It is a testament of dedication, hard work but above all its laser-focused vision. The amount of products and services our clients and workforce can tap into with the Binance ecosystem are amazing and will help accelerate the growth of the Effect Network like never before.”

Binance Smart Chain’s Exponential Growth

Despite centralization debates, the BSC ecosystem has grown considerably over the past several months. Thanks to growing gas fees on the Ethereum blockchain that was currently hovering close to $18. BSC, on the other hand, was processing on average 2X volume of the Ethereum network, that too, at a fraction of its current transaction fee.

Therefore, several DeFi platforms have either left the Ethereum network or have expanded their footprint across BSC as well to enable its users to choose their preferred mode of network. Gauging at BSC’s unique address count, it can be noted that the network has seen significant growth as the figures continued to maintain a steady uptrend. It was found to be at 61.7 million on the 27th of March.

Investment Firm Buys Additional $30M Worth Of Block.one Shares

by

Block.one has kept low this bull season. In the latest development for the ecosystem, however, the crypto-assets-focused investment company, Cryptology Asset Group announced the purchase of an additional $30 million worth of Block.one shares in a private transaction.

This is not the first time the Malta-based company, co-founded by Mike Novogratz, has infused significant capital into the EOS builder. The latest purchase is the third of its kind, which has been made in the past three weeks. With this, Cryptology aims to become one of Europe’s most active investors in the crypto and blockchain industry.

Following the latest development Patrick Lowry, Cryptology’s CEO commented,

“Block.one is one of the preeminent players in the entire crypto industry and I am elated to be expanding Cryptology’s exposure to one of our flagship portfolio companies. I look forward to the unveiling of projects they have been developing in stealth in the near future and further expanding Cryptology’s collaborative relationship with Brendan and the Block.one team.”

According to the official press release, Cryptology does not only has significant exposure to Block.one on its own balance sheet, but it also manages further stakes in EOS’s parent company on behalf of several institutional investors with additional upside participation for Cryptology. In addition, the upside participation, n question, sums up to nearly 0.5% additional stake in Block.one.

Previous Block.one Developments

The company behind the multibillion-dollar-backed EOS ecosystem had previously managed to secure a record-breaking $4 billion to fund the development of the underlying software. In Feb, The firm had reportedly joined forces with LACChain, which happens to be an Inter-American Development Bank–backed initiative, to promote blockchain technology across Latin America and the Caribbean. Notably, this initiative has 40 partners in 12 countries in the region.

As part of this, the company announced signing a memorandum of understanding [MoU] to join the LACChain Global Alliance.

Just last week, EOS Creator and blockchain developer, Dan Larimer unveiled his fourth project called Clarion. Much like his previous initiatives, his latest open source software if also focused on decentralized networking, essentially allowing people to communicate without the need of trusted third parties.

EOS Ecosystem’s Dan Larimer To Focus on Building Censorship-Resistant Tech

by

Prominent blockchain developer Daniel Larimer announced leaving his position as the CTO of Block.one after a stint of four years. The blockchain entrepreneur had previously co-founded the company behind the popular project EOS along with Brenden Blumer before dropping his resignation as of the 31st of December, 2020.

Larimer’s resignation comes just a day after he announced boycotting Twitter. In a Voice post, the exec had argued that “the censorship has gotten out of control” and that he can “no longer empower such a corrupt company.”

Larimer referred to the censorship pressures and emphasized once more during his resignation announcement that his future endeavor would include focussing more on developing tools that masses can use to secure their own freedom.

His official statement read,

“I will continue on my mission to create a free market, voluntary solutions for securing life, liberty, property, and justice for all. I do not know exactly what is next, but I am leaning toward building more censorship-resistant technologies.”

Larimer went on to assert that,

“I have come to believe that you cannot provide “liberty as a service” and therefore I will focus my attention on creating tools that people can use to secure their own freedom.”

Nevertheless, Larimer and Blumer had been working together in the company since 2017 which went on to secure a massive $4 billion for an initial coin offering [ICO] to launch the EOS network.

In the beginning, the EOS network was touted as an improved version and a potential Ethereum killer by many industry experts amidst a clogged ETH ecosystem plagued with scalability issues. Despite attempts to reach the same level, EOS was grappled by centralization concerns.

EOS Takes A Plunge Following The News

eos

The latest news about Dan Larimer’s resignation did not sit well with the participants of the EOS market. Shortly after the development, EOS dropped substantially which has extended to over 35% loss in less than 48 hours. The crypto-asset was previously consolidating above the support level of $2.8 despite any impressive upside move.

The news triggered a sell-off which dragged EOS’s price to $2.7, at the time of writing.

Litecoin, EOS, Monero Technical Analysis On 12th November 2020

by

Bitcoin and several altcoins, such as Litecoin, EOS as well as Monero are showed hints of breaking above their respective resistance points despite a minor slip. This indicated that bullish pressure continued to dominate the cryptocurrency market. Additionally, the global cryptocurrency market cap stood at $451.3 billion, at press time

Litecoin [LTC]:

LTC 1 e1605161785295

Over the past 24-hours, Litecoin [LTC] was down by 1.38% as it held a price of $58.94. At the time of writing, the coin registered a market cap of $3.88 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $2.37 billion.

Despite a significant surge closer to its resistance level, LTC’s technicals depicted a conflicted picture. A bullish crossover was rejected by the Klinger Oscillator even as the coin surged to levels not seen in more than a month.

The MACD, however, underwent a bullish crossover. This suggested that even as the bulls were buying on dips, they remained in control of the coin’s price. The overhead resistance in case of an uptrend stood at $63. In case of a bearish reversal, Litecoin could be dragged to the immediate support area of $54.

EOS:

EOS e1605161955150

EOS was priced at $2.49 after a minor dip of 0.83% over the last 24-hour. The coin recorded a market cap of $2.33 billion, and a 24-hour trading volume of $1.60 billion, at the time of writing.

The Awesome Oscillator flipped bearish as the red closing bar emerged suggesting a bearish momentum. The Chaikin Money Flow also appeared to be struggling to retain position above the zero-line indicating a decline in the inflow of capital in the coin market.

If the bears gain control, it could try to sink the price to $1.90 while the resistance stood at $2.72

Monero [XMR]:

XMR 1 e1605162049305

Monero [XMR] has had an impressive streak this quarter as it was currently valued at $114.43. The privacy-focused coin appeared to be consolidating within a tight range. It noted a decline of 1.34% over the past 24-hours as it held a market cap of $2.03 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $1.105 billion.

The dotted markers, however, aligned above the coin resisting a further uptrend. The RSI, also, slipped below the 50-median line suggesting a sentiment of high sell pressure in the coin market. This could potentially indicate that XMR could have topped out at $133.

If the bearish pressure gains momentum, Monero’s price could spiral to its immediate support level of $90.8

Google Cloud Initiates the Process for Becoming Block Producer Candidate on EOS

by

The blockchain software company Block.one announced that Google Cloud will join the EOS community in a bid to become an EOS network block producer. EOS’s block producers system has been a bone of contention for a long time. It has 21 block producers in total. All the 21 nodes on the network must be elected by current token holders.

With this, Google becomes the first Silicon Valley giant to seek to become an EOS block producer. However, Google Cloud will require the approval of the EOS community. According to the official blog post, Google Cloud is set to utilize the EOS network’s performance and open-source community as it works to become a block producer.

Following the development, Allen Day, Developer Advocate, Google Cloud commented

“We’re starting the process of becoming a block producer candidate. As organizations begin to incorporate distributed ledger technology into their infrastructures, we are committed to ensuring that the information on public blockchains are securely stored, reliably available, and can be accessed in meaningful ways.”

Additionally, Dan Larimer, CTO of Block.one was also quoted saying,

“Google Cloud will continue to provide its highly provisioned, low-latency infrastructure to Block.one. Through secure oracles, inter-chain transaction reporting, key management, and high-integrity full-node validation, Google Cloud’s confidential computing infrastructure will enhance the security, scalability, and decentralization of blockchain technology.”

A few of the largest block producers are run by cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance, Huobi and OKEx among others.

Block.one’s participation in BP elections

EOS and its creator Block.one has been mired with controversies relating to the centralization issue. What further aggravated this Block.one, participating in electoral procedures to choose the Block Producers for the EOS blockchain back in November last year.

The company had previously clarified that the share of circulation supply owned by it continues to decline as new tokens are created through inflation and are used to reward elected Block Producers that run and operate the network. However, this did little help to alleviate the growing criticism of the network’s centralization as reports of six of EOS’s total pool of BPs managed by just a single entity made rounds.

More recently, the company acquired the team behind once-prominent block producer EOS New York, which had completely stopped its operations. Following this, Block.one reportedly hired EOS New York founders Rick Schlesinger and Kevin Rose along with their team members who were then tasked to work on community outreach initiatives.

Chainlink, EOS, Tezos Technical Analysis on 9th September 2020

by

The subsequent market corrections have helped investors to make a foray at lower levels that were left out during the rally in mid-August. At the time of writing, the collective market cap stood at $324 billion.

As the market sustained another pullback, Bitcoin’s price dropped to $10,097. Following the suit were several altcoins that mimicked the downside price action as they continued to sink beneath support levels.

The bears were observed to be aggressively defending the resistance level of $12.76. As depicted by the dotted markers hovering above the LINK candlesticks also resisted an upward price movement. The RSI below the 50-median neutral zone indicated a sentiment of high sell pressure in the coin market. Despite the bearish pressure gaining traction, LINK’s price has continued to hold intact its immediate support of $9.53.

EOS

EOS e1599629235169

EOS fell by 2.76% over the past 24-hour driving its price to $2.73. At the time of writing, EOS was valued at $2.73 while recording a market cap of $2.55 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $3.48 billion.

The downtrend for the 12th-largest coin has not lost its steam yet as signs of a bullish reversal weakened as evidenced by the red closing bars of Awesome Oscillator. Chaikin Money Flow also appeared to be in the bearish territory depicting an outflow of capital from the EOS market. If the bearish trend persists, the coin could potentially revisit the crucial level of support that stood at $2.34.

Tezos [XTZ]

XTZ e1599630406609

Tezos witnessed a significant drawdown since its March bull run. The 15th-largest cryptocurrency was priced at $2.47 after declining by 2.34% over the last 24-hours. At the time of writing, XTZ registered a market cap of $1.833 billion and $266 million.
