Cardano ecosystem builder AdaSwap launches public testnet

Adaswap, a Gal Gadot-backed decentralized exchange (DEX) platform on the Cardano network, has launched its public testnet.

A press release shared with CoinJournal stated that the Adaswap DEX, also backed by Shima Capital, was going live today 29 June 2022.

According to the platform’s team, the testnet launch makes the project among the very first to tap into the capabilities of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). 

The project  went live on the Milkomeda Network.

Tapping into blockchain interoperability

With the testnet launch via Milkomeda Network, Adaswap is looking to tap into the benefits of a layer-2 protocol with over $36 million in TVL. 

The team notes that among the key benefits for builders will be the ability to deliver EVM capabilities to non-EVM compatible blockchains.

This, they added via the announcement, enables the extension of Cardano’s ecosystem to projects that seek to build advanced products and services. 

AdaSwap CEO Itai Levi said:

“Deploying on Milkomeda has allowed Adaswap to deploy at a rapid pace and bring lightning-fast usability to our DEX for Cardano native assets. We can’t wait for our community to explore these new opportunities and bring a new wave of liquidity to the Cardano DeFi ecosystem. We’re also looking forward to the blockchain interoperability benefits that Milkomeda will offer.“

Adaswap has been building towards the launch of its testnet over the past month, with the team noting in early June that they were focused on delivering this milestone despite the tough market conditions.

Earlier in May, Adaswap announced the NFT marketplace ADANFT, which was launched in collaboration with globally renowned artist Jonathan Paul, aka Desire Obtain Cherish.

Major advocate of Bitcoin Cash accused of default: BCH price sinks 7%

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) today dropped to a low of $102.08 following reports that a major advocate of the blockchain had been accused of default.

Roger Ver, the former CEO of Bitcoin.com and a big advocate for Bitcoin Cash, was on Wednesday accused of owing $47 million to crypto exchange CoinFlex.

Coinflex CEO Mark Lamb disclosed a written agreement between the exchange and Roger Ver that obligates the Ver to guarantee any negative equity.

Lamb indicated that they have already written notice of default to Roger Ver for defaulting on the agreement.

In a subsequent tweet thread, Lamb went ahead to clarify that the debt in question pertains to Ver’s account.

But in a rejoinder, Roger Vertook to Twitter to deny Lamb’s claims of owing any debt and rather accused CoinFlex of owing him a substantial amount of money and revealed that he was seeking the return of his funds.

Roger Ver’s relations with Bitcoin Cash

Roger Ver has been the biggest promoter of Bitcoin Cash since it hard forked from Bitcoin.

The main reason Ver supports Bitcoin Cash is that he believes that Bitcoin should be a peer-to-peer transaction system instead of just being a store of value like it currently is.

The position or trade-in question is a leveraged 600-800K BCH long that Roger Ver holds on CoinFlex exchange.

Here’s why Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) and USTC are suddenly rising

Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) has gained 44% today and over 110% over the past seven days while TerraClassicUSD (USTC) has gained over 140% today and over 780% in the past seven days.

Both TerraClassic (LUNC) and TerraClassicUSD (USTC) had almost been forgotten by the greater crypto community over the past two months following the unfortunate Terra (LUNA) debacle that started with the de-pegging of the TerraUSD (USDT) stablecoin.

But the recent price hikes have brought the two cryptocurrencies back to the limelight.

According to CoinMarketCap, the number of LUNC holders has started to increase with the rising price and the same case applies to the USTC stablecoin holders. Between June 26 and today, the number of LUNC holders rose by about1.41%.

Why is USTC and LUNC price rallying?

One of the main contributors to the sudden rise of LUNC price and consequently that of the USTC stablecoin is the recent announcement by a metaverse venture called StarShip that it shall incorporate LUNC into its ecosystem. LUNC will be one of the payment methods in StarShip.

In addition, StarShip will also burn 1.2% of the total amount of LUNC that it will receive as payment.

A press release by StarShip read:

“LUNC will be implemented into the StarShip ecosystem as one form of payment within StarShip Universe, burning 1.2% of all LUNC received for these payments.”

StarShip is one of the biggest metaverses to be created and it recently released footage showcasing its gameplay. The MetaUniverse features 32,000 square kilometers of buildable area and is powered by the new Unreal 5 engine.

The crypto community welcomes the practical use case for LUNC and the partnership between StarShip and Luna reinforces each ecosystem.
