Hello!

aeternity's new website is now live! You can access it at:

All the best!

Hello!

Guys, all is fine with aeternity. The project (and the whole ecosystem) is moving forward.

There where three scheduled hardforks in 2019, and all were performed without a problem. Those significantly improved the capabilities of the network.

In September there was even a major event dedicated to the ae ecosystem. Visit the YouTube channel to watch all the dev and entrepreneur-related talks.

Have a look at this blog post for some of the most interesting developer highlights.

Finally, visit the AENS (integrated naming system) website to learn how you can reserve a .chain name. It is now possible to send tokens to anyname.chain addresses (directly from the mobile Base aepp) instead of the standard ak_W7vJeKZZZ5r29sJj4TBMDx6xhirnJ5rsFPUD6TgQoPeQ3fDuq.

There is so much going on! Maybe also have a look at this Bitcoin Whitepaper Birthday special, discussing aeternity's advantages.

If you have any questions - let me know!

I am glad you figured it out! The issue explanation you provided was not sufficient. How can you send ERC20 tokens to an AirGap wallet account, but not know how to access it?

You were correctly referred to the AirGap team who are the best people to help you with AirGap-related questions/issues.

All the best,
Vlad

Thank you! We really appreciate the kind words. The Governance æpp and Naming system auctions are launching soon!

Hello!

I would like to inform you that a new version of the Lima Release – 5.0.1 – is now available in GitHub.

ACCESS IT HERE

The latest release contains important bug fixes that affect the protocol. The hardfork date remains unchanged – October 30, 2019 (this Wednesday).

If you decide to support this major network upgrade, please update your nodes to Lima Release 5.0.1 to ensure the smooth operation of the æternity chain.

Thank you for supporting æternity.

Best,
Vlad

Hello!

I would like to inform you that the final Lima Release (5.0.0) is now available for download in GitHub.

ACCESS IT HERE

Update your nodes to Lima before October 30 to support the third major æternity protocol upgrade.

Lima will introduce a number of improvements and new features, including:

• FATE  -  Fast æternity Transaction Engine - æternity's customized virtual machine built for security and efficiency. A FATE contract is only 10% of the size of an Ethereum Virtual Machine contract.
• Improved Generalized Accounts that allow the use of a smart contract instead of a signature when signing transactions.
• æternity Naming System (AENS) auctions and a mobile aepp (will be accessible in the Base aepp).
• An on-chain governance mechanism with delegated voting and a mobile aepp enabling community voting on various subjects (will be accessible in the Base aepp).
• Improved State Channels usability in aepps.

Best,
Vlad

Hello everyone!

We are happy to announce that the Lima hardfork of the æternity Testnet was executed successfully today.

The UAT Testnet is now running Lima Release Candidate 5 (5.0.0-rc.5).

Find the latest Lima Release Candidate in GitHub.

Hey jfgreen,

You will be able to manage your Mainnet AE tokens as soon as the next scheduled hardfork goes through. That should happen on or a short time after October 30, 2019 (if the miners adopt the Lima Release).

I hope that answers your question.

Vlad

Hello everyone!

Great news coming from Liechtenstein where the æternity Anstalt and Foundation are headquartered!

Liechtenstein becomes the first country to have a comprehensive regulation of the token economy!

Why is this important? Find out in the blog post below.

Thank you! Yes, things definitely started developing rapidly after Universe One. More good news coming up!

You can find more information about the AENS rent discussion in the Forum.

The paid fees will be burnt.

After September 2nd, it will be impossible to move the Ethereum AE tokens. However, it might still be possible to access them, depending on the way you store them (if you have access to the ETH address that holds them). More info will be shared soon.

However, it is HIGHLY recommended to migrate them BEFORE September 2nd.

Hey guys,

I just published a new article on the topics of Huawei, single points of failure, and æternity.

I hope you enjoy it.

There will be more and more good news this year, I ma sure of it I am personally looking forward to the second community governance vote.

The BRI won't be spent on æpps, but on protocol development solely. We indicated that in the initial announcement blog post.

Quick clarification on the above:

The BRI funds will be spent on: development tasks, including infrastructure, product management, supporting third party dev teams (project similar to AEKnow, AirGap) and all current support, dev-tools, æpps, SDKs, and core development.

I will call all of it FUD, because it is FUD.

All of your questions have been answered. Read the blog post. It has all the answers you need.

But I am pretty sure you don't need any answers, you simply don't want the BRI to happen. But it is happening, and you can vote on it if you want to, not vote, or sell all your AE. Simple. No need to waste any of your nevers on this.

Vlad

Wow, sammy007 is active in all channels Thank you for all the FUD. There is really no point to go through all that trouble though - just sell your AE tokens and never look back. I really don't think that any arguments can change your opinion.

There is one final arbiter though - time.

So let's see how things develop.

Vlad

Hello everyone,

The Telegram AMA session dedicated to the Block Reward Initiative will be held on:

May 6, 6:00 PM CEST

You can add your questions in this BRI-dedicated topic in the Forum.

Hello!

After September 2, all ERC20 AE tokens will become non-transferable. This will effectively make them unusable, so trading will not be possible. This means that exchanges will either have to migrate the ERC20 AE before that date and start trading Mainnet AE or delist AE. We are working with a number of exchanges to provide technical support do they can switch to trading Mainnet AE. We have reached out to all exchanges that trade ERC20 and explained to them what will happen after September 2 and provided them with relevant contacts they can reach if they need tech support.

Vlad

A variation of PoS will be used only for governance (voting). There will be no staking of AE tokens.

Best,
Vlad
