A new Ethereum Improvement Proposal, or EIP, aims to introduce asynchronous deposit and redemption flows as an extension to the existing ERC-4626 tokenized vault standard. ERC-4626 itself is a standard designed to introduce parameters for yield-bearing vaults. These vaults are smart contract platforms that execute strategies, providing rewards for the token depositor. The standard, though, is designed to ensure that the vaults are atomic, meaning that swaps have a deposit and redemption limit. Another way to explain atomic vaults would be “all or nothing” — If X happens, Y must happen at the same time. In an interview with Blockworks,…
Due to the extreme rigidity of the Enjin platform, NFTs are required to construct a proof of concept on a testnet network before being placed on it. In this regard, the Canary test network, as well as the Enjin blockchain were recently released. Numerous users anticipated the introduction of Enjin tools in this secure test environment. Due to the absence of unused mainnet NFTs, it is more convenient for developers to construct testnets such as Canary. Canary Platform and Canary NFT.io provide access to the testnet variants. Besides this, developers are able to obtain free testnet ENJ (cENJ) from the…

In 2021, the Australian branch of the Red Cross received $90 million to aid the victims of the bushfires that plagued various regions of New South Wales and Victoria. However, the organization soon came under fire for its lack of transparency when it revealed that it would only distribute around one-third of the intended funds on immediate assistance and that it could take up to three years to distribute the total amount. One resident who lost his home to the fires told local media, “They made a lot of promises that they’re going to this, that and other, (but) I’ve…
