Inside the blockchain developer’s mind: What is a testnet?
By familiarizing themselves with the nuances of testnets, blockchain developers can become better equipped to evaluate specific testnet releases.
Blockchain testnets are an interesting subject because they come in all shapes and sizes. So, in this post, my goal is to leverage my inside experience as the CEO of Koinos Group (developers of Koinos) to demystify testnets and perhaps give some insight into why they seem to have such an impact on price.
The most obvious place to start is with the name: testnet. The purpose of a testnet is to test a network. At a very high level, there are two “flavors” of testnet. The first is a testnet that is released prior to a mainnet (main network), and the second is a testnet that is released after a mainnet is already in operation. The functions these serve are similar, but the context in which they are released dramatically impacts the perception, and impact, of the release. Read More
Anomus Brings Blockchain VC’s To Fight Corruption
Anomus is a one-of-a-kind and much-needed alternative to the deterioration of mainstream media. It believes in shifting the balance of power from those centralized corporations that control the media and bestow it on the people. Anomus is ambitious, noble, and inevitable because the need for this system will always exist so long as we are being subjected to corruptible and tainted news reporting and journalistic standards that violate every human’s rights.
Freedom of speech is embedded in our psyche; we will always want to say how we feel and perceive the world around us. Anomus is a stepping stone for a world that is legitimately expressing itself without restrictions and without the limitations of those who wish you and me to perceive a specific false reality.
Anomus will become a way of life for many people who want to report news and journalists who wish to work while abiding by the principles of free untainted speech. Anomus will offer an alternative to people to work for the community and get rewarded by the community. Read More

wXRP to launch on the Ethereum blockchain in December
The XRP network still appears to be innovating despite its regulatory woes.
If all goes according to plan, Wrapped XRP (wXRP) will be coming to the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain next month, courtesy of Wrapped.com. The move is meant to enable XRP holders to interact with aspects of decentralized finance, or DeFi, such as executing smart contracts for use in borrowing and lending, swapping for altcoins, via their native tokens. Currently, the network can only handle sending, receiving, and holding XRP.
Wrapped tokens are digital currencies stored in a digital vault and run on a separate blockchain. Notable wrapped tokens include Wrapped Bitcoin, which operates on the Ethereum blockchain, and Wrapped Ethereum, which converts ETH to the ERC-20 standard. wXRP would have a 1:1 exchange ratio with XRP, with custody provided by Hex Trust.
