Vechain price rising after the launch Of VORJ

  • VORJ is Vechain’s ‘Web3-as-a-Service’ Platform.
  • Vechain aims to build solutions that solve obstacles impeding the mass adoption of blockchain technology.
  • At press time, the VET token was trading at $0.02636, up 4.13%.

Since its launch, Vechain has been focusing on building solutions that solve the obstacles that hinder the adoption of blockchain technology. VORJ is one of the important solutions that Vechain has launched.

The VORJ platform

The VORJ platform almost entirely summarizes the blockchain development process thus opening up Web3 building to the masses without having to be a technical guru. It is a no-code Web3-as-a-service platform that allows anyone to create, deploy, and interact with smart contracts on the VeChainThor blockchain.

Users will not need to understand solidity to start deploying digital assets on the VechainThor blockchain.

VORJ combines familiar Web2 user experience with the ability to create Web digital assets in a few clicks. Users don’t need to even manage crypto assets to pay for the transaction fees. Fees on VORJ are taken care of by VORJ itself; which is quite a huge step in eliminating a key barrier to Web3 entry.

EVM compatibility

VeChainThor blockchain is an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible blockchain making VORJ offer secure and battle-tested OpenZeppelin smart contracts, which is considered the industry standard.

Furthermore, VORJ offers the creation of fungible ERC-20 contracts or non-fungible tokens (NFT) ERC-721 contracts on the VORJ frontend while the VORJ Application Programmable Interface (API) offers users a wider selection of token standards.

In addition, VORJ seamlessly integrates with existing VechainThor projects.

Radix price skyrockets 40% as XRD breaks above psychological level

  • Radix price was up 40% in 24 hours and 118% over the past week as trading volume jumped 155%.
  • Gains for XRD come as the layer-1 blockchain announced the date of an upcoming major upgrade.
  • XRD has broken into the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap with $1.16 billion as Bitcoin price looks to retake the $30k level.

The price of Radix (XRD) is up 40% in the past 24 hours after massive buying pressure pushed it past the psychological $0.10 mark early Tuesday. Radix is outperforming the top coins across the daily, weekly and monthly charts even as Bitcoin price looks to reclaim $30,000 and Ethereum moves above $2,100.

XRD tokens have seen a 155% jump in daily trading volume in the last 24 hours, a scenario that comes from the recent spike in market activity for the cryptocurrency. The price gains have seen XRD break into the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market ranking. 

CoinGecko data shows Radix currently ranks 48th on the list, with $1.16 billion in market cap.

Radix up after Babylon upgrade date announcement

As the cryptocurrency market teeters on the verge of a new bull market, it’s no doubt Radix has seen renewed bullish momentum. However, most of the buying pressure for XRD is down to the hype around its upcoming developments.

Radix is a layer-1 blockchain network built to offer truly decentralised and scalable DeFi access. In the past few days, the XRD price has surged after news of its upcoming smart contracts integration. The network will also soon add full atomic composability, with support for sharding.

The highly anticipated network growth will be part of the Babylon upgrade, whose launch date was recently confirmed for 31st July 2023. According to Radix, the upgrade is expected to pave the way for mainstream adoption of Web3 and DeFi on Radix. Currently, the features are only available in “tech demo,”

Radix price outlook

The positive sentiment has benefitted Radix bulls. Having struggled to break past resistance around $0.08 last week, XRD/USD exploded to an intraday high above $0.12 on early Tuesday.

With a 24-hour trading volume of over $16.9 million and price gain of over 118% in the past 7 days, Radix appears all set for a major swing in coming days. The bullish perspective has the daily RSI and MACD strengthening.

Although there’s been a brief lull in buying that had XRD price retreat towards $0.11, the immediate outlook suggests a pump to March 2022 highs of $0.16 could be the next step.

The long-term Radix price prediction has the XRD token trading higher in the next bull market and beyond. However , for the immediate outlook, the area around $0.074 and $0.061 provides the primary demand zone.

Gala token jumps as focus shifts to the upcoming V2 airdrop

Gala token jumped sharply on Tuesday after the developers announced a plan of a new airdrop. The token jumped to a high of $0.048, the highest level since March 19th. It has soared by more than 216% from the lowest level in January this year.

Gala airdrop upcoming

The main reason why GALA price jumped sharply is that the developers announced plans to launch an airdrop of the second version of the token. This airdrop will happen on a 1:1 basis to holders of the current version of the GALA token.

In a blog post, the developers explained the reason for this airdrop. They said that the token will be part of its upgrade of the broader ecosystem as it adopts to the Gala smart contracts on Ethereum. Some of the features of the new token are that it will be secure and more user-friendly. It will also introduce a burn mechanism. 

By introducing burning, the developers hope to reduce the overall volume of the tokens and create more value for holders. As part of this transition, the developers cautioned GALA holders that they must remove their tokens from liquidity pools or smart contracts before May 15th. The statement said:

“We envision a bright future for $GALA and the projects that will be built upon it. This new era for our GALA paves the way for a prosperous and thriving ecosystem that benefits all participants.”

Gala Games is one of the leading players in the blockchain industry. It is a gaming, metaverse, and non-fungible token (NFT) platform. Its primary service is that it enables developers to build and deploy games, which users can play in the ecosystem.

Gala Games is also working to launch its own smart chain, known as GalaChain, which will be more secure, faster, and cheaper.

Gala price prediction

The daily chart shows that the GALA token has been in a strong bullish trend in the past few days. It has jumped above the 25-day and 50-day moving averages. It also retested the key resistance point at $0.048, the highest point on March 18.

Therefore, there is a likelihood that the token will continue rising as buyers target the next key resistance point at $0.062, the highest point on January 27. A drop below the support at $0.043 will invalidate the bullish view.
