Here Is Why it is Time to Buy the Zilliqa (ZIL) and IOST Dips

Published

Zilliqa

The mood and feel in the crypto-markets is that Bitcoin (BTC) is back to its old ways and readying itself for a Bull Run in the crypto markets. This has even prompted popular crypto-crusader, John McAfee to reassure his twitter followers that the BTC Bull run is coming. As is the case whenever Bitcoin has a good run in the markets, the rest of the coins and tokens follow suit and do astonishing gains. The King of Crypto – BTC – always sets the pace in the markets. Therefore, the time is now to stock up on our favorite tokens of Zilliqa (ZIL) and IOSToken (IOST) not only due to the Bitcoin factor alone but due to the following.

Current and past performance of both ZILLIQA and IOST in the markets

ZIL is currently priced at $0.076 and down 6% in the last 24 hours at the moment of writing this. This means that the digital asset is at its lowest since mid-April. ZIL had peaked to levels of $0.23 in mid-May. This indicates that the digital asset has the potential to perform well outside the influence of Bitcoin (BTC). The peak value of ZIL was reached during a time period of BTC decline.

Looking at IOST, the token is currently valued at $0.024 and down 4.12% in 24 hours at the moment of writing this. IOST had peaked in January to a value of $0.127. It also had another lesser peak value of $0.075 in mid-May. This then means that it could easily reach $0.050 values if Bitcoin continues on its bull run in the short term. Looking at the long-term possibility of IOS, it could eclipse the $0.20 mark by the end of the year.

Testnets and Mainnets to be released this year

The team at Zilliqa has already launched the second version of the Testnet that demonstrates the Scilla programming language as well as sharding. The same project has even convinced the gaming DApp of Etheremon to move from the Ethereum platform to that of ZIL once the Mainnet version is released in the 3rd quarter of this year. This means that it is only a matter of time before ZIL runs with the bulls as was seen with ETH last year when everyone was developing on the platform. ZIL is indeed the Ethereum killer.

The IOST team has also released a testnet version of its platform that has been given the name of Everest. The announcement came at the of June with a notification that the Mainnet will be launched by the end of 2018. The IOST platform also promises a higher throughput than that seen on Ethereum. Therefore, the stage is set for more DApps to be built on the IOST mainnet.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the phrase ‘The Early Bird Catches the Worm’ could not be more applicable than in the case of ZIL and IOST. These two blockchain projects pack a punch and they have already functional Testnet which have given a glimpse of the numerous possibilities of each of the Mainnets. The same tokens have also had an impressive track record in the crypto markets opening the floodgates for more gains in the future. There is no doubt that these two digital assets are a good buy for a HODL investment strategy.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //

Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.

Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.

The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…

Should Crypto Projects Devote Resources to Community Growth and Marketing?

Published

on

2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for.  While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory.  When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion.  But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.

I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness.  Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion.  Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special.  Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.

Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology

It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different.  Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…

He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”

Development and Procurement Lead, Gabby Dizon explained, “Despite our initial focus, we found ourselves with a unique opportunity to host some of the works of Mr. Hiro Yamagata. We are collaborating with Japanese artist Hiro Yamagata to enshrine some of his artwork into NFTs.”
