Wrapped Val has arrived! Here’s why this is great news…
Wrapped Val is now on the Binance Smartchain! The Validity team are pleased to announce the introduction of Wrapped Val (wVAL). For many of you this will be welcome news but for those who aren’t familiar with wrapped tokens, here is a quick guide. Different blockchains offer different functionality, so it can be frustrating when coins that exist on one blockchain can’t be easily transferred to another. The way to circumvent this issue is to use wrapped tokens. What is a wrapped token? A wrapped token is a tokenised version of a cryptocurrency, where the value of the native coin is retained. This is similar to the way stable coins derive their value from another asset like fiat, for example USDT and the US Dollar. In the same way, wVAL retains the same value as ordinary VAL. How do they work? Whilst it’s not necessary to understand the wrapping process, for those who are curious here is a simple overview of how it works. The User sends VAL to a custodian who will mint wVAL on the non-native blockchain (to the equivalent value of the original VAL which is held on-chain in reserve). This wrapped token can then be used on the different blockchain.Wrapping process When the wVAL needs to be exchanged back to VAL the User puts in a request to the custodian, the tokenised version is destroyed, and the VAL is released from the reserve.wVal exchange back to Val process The custodian can be a smart contract, multi-sig walle...

Validity: Why stake?
In one of the biggest overhauls in crypto history Ethereum has completed a colossal software upgrade, merging with another decentralised ledger named the Beacon Chain. Whereas previously utilising the proof-of-work mechanism, this merge has resulted in Ethereum instead adopting the proof-of-stake transaction processing method, which is approximately 99.95% more energy efficient than their previous model (whilst proof-of-stake still uses work, it’s a lot less than proof-of-work). Validity also operates using proof-of-stake, and the team have long known the advantages of staking so we are pleased to share some information to help you get started if this news has piqued your interest! — Why stake? - — Rewards. — Staking crypto is an excellent way to earn some passive income, especially during bear markets where you may choose to not trade as frequently. One of the main benefits of staking is that unlike crypto mining, you don’t need any expensive equipment to do it. In this respect not only is staking less expensive, it is also much more eco-friendly and energy efficient than mining, for example the entire Validity network runs on less than 2500 watts, the maximum equivalent of just 10 solar panels! This makes staking an accessible option for those who may not have the means or access to equipment to get involved in mining. Staking is essentially an advanced form of ‘hodling’; so if you are storing VAL ...

Validity Roadmap Progress Update
Validity Roadmap Progress Update - Wrapped VAL (wVAL) We need wVAL to have more smart contracts’ functionality which is needed for the Validity NFT marketplace. - AtomicDEX After we successfully upgraded the blockchain last year, Validity now has atomic swaps capabilities so we wanted to have it listed on a decentralized exchange (DEX) like AtomicDex. - Mobile Wallet A requested feature by some community members. An independent staking wallet (no 3rd party involved) is not as easy to develop as people might think. Security remains our priority so we put it on hold till we are absolutely sure this feature can be achieved. - Trezor Plugin It would be nice if people can store their VAL on a hardware wallet if they want to. - The ‘Stake like a boss’ event was held earlier this year and over $12k additional rewards were distributed among VAL stakers. Congratulations to all stakers who participated! - The ‘Get a piece of the PI’ event was cancelled unfortunately because the supplier of Raspberry PI closed their business. We might have this event again in the future when we find another supplier to work with. - Upgrade Codebase We added new features to the wallet and improved the staking/user experience. For a detailed explanation check the following blog: blog.radiumcore.org - Microsoft Outlook Plugin We rolled out the plugin at our parther MDASR. Some adjustments need to be made before onboarding more partners. - ...

Validity Project Update
Forward, always! Introduction: It’s very clear by now that crypto is going through a brutal bear market which might not be over any time soon. After Bitcoin reached its bull cycle top at $69k, BTC crashed to under $20k. This is normal as Bitcoin usually corrects about 82% on average after a bull run. Unfortunately this has an impact on the rest of the crypto space including our beloved VAL. That being said, the strong fundamentals of VAL have not changed. For example, there still remains a max supply of 9 million coins only which is appealing to many people who don’t like what’s going on with fiat inflation worldwide. Team Expansion: Validity has gone through these bear cycles before and the team is very experienced on how to deal with them, it’s an ideal time to build and develop and that’s exactly what we are doing! Additionally, the project is in healthy financial condition for years to come. We even expanded the team with three new members: Davis — Graphic Designer, Harriet — Web Developer, and Vicky — Discord Community Manager. The team remains very positive on the future of crypto, and we have great appetite to achieve our goals and prepare for the next bull cycle. Validity Discord Game: As some of you might know, we are developing a Validity Discord game. It will belong to the Idle (incremental) Games category and is heavily influenced by IdleCapitalist which we are a big fan of. It didn’...

Validity SmartChain Development Update
TL:DR This is an exciting time for Validity! I have several new functions in active heavy development that will significantly increase the value of the project.IPFS offloading of large data Smart contracts require data. Large smart contracts require large amounts of data, and large amounts of data slow down blockchains. Currently, Validity has used an entirely on-chain model with all contract data being stored directly in the chain. This works well for small, fast types of contracts, but becomes a problem as contracts get bigger. NFT’s are a popular type of contract, but they require a lot of data. To expand the capabilities of the SmartChain, we are implementing IPFS offloading of large contracts. We are implementing a new model, were large data contracts are stored on IPFS, and loaded dynamically into the SmartChain during syncing.NFT Collections Using the new IPFS offloading, we are implementing NFT collections stored on IPFS and anchored in the Validity chain via their IPFS unique identifier. Using this method, large NFT collections with many members can be created and traded using the existing SmartChain infrastructure without causing significant blockchain bloat. Specific information on the Collection creation process will be available when the NFT collections launch.Improved SmartTx status tracking Sometimes a SmartTx fails or is invalid. This can be due to underpaid fees or other reasons that cause the Tx to be i...

Out with the old, and in with the new
Today, the old persona of Radium gives way to a new, fresh, exciting look, including a change of name — to Validity (VAL). There has been no change of direction here; the project still maintains its core functionalities of bringing advanced utility to the blockchain. However, the team had felt for a while that not only was it not catchy enough, but that the name Radium did not convey quite the right message. Originally, the technology was dubbed Radium after the naturally-occurring element that decreases over time, mirroring its reduction in inflation until the maximum supply of nine million coins is reached. However, it had become apparent that too many parallels were being drawn with radioactivity, invoking people’s mixed feelings about nuclear power. Odd links were made with the historical uses of radium before all the side-effects were fully understood. You only have to read about the unfortunate ‘Radium girls’, women who developed radiation poisoning from painting watch dials with naturally luminous paint, to appreciate the negative connotations for the name Radium. So, after many months of discussion within the team and consultation with the community, we concluded that a rebranding was overdue.So, why Validity? The dictionary definition of the word ‘validity’ is:‘the quality of being logically or factually sound; soundness or cogency’ Frankly, we couldn’t think of a descriptor more relevant to...

Radium XT Release Notes
Radium Extended or Radium XT is the latest codebase upgrade and client version of the Radium blockchain. It’s an upgrade from PoSv3 to bitcoin 0.13 codebase.Main Features — 100% Backward Compatibility. — Backward compatible (or sometimes backward-compatible or backwards compatible) refers to a hardware or software system that can successfully use interfaces and data from earlier versions of the system or with other systems. This is especially important for exchanges and other service providers as they don’t need to upgrade to Radium XT if they don’t want to. — Atomic Swaps. — An atomic swap is a smart contract technology that enables the exchange of one cryptocurrency for another without using centralized intermediaries. We wanted this technology to be added to the Radium technology suite so RADS can be listed on decentralized exchanges that use atomic swaps technology. — Decreased Syncing Times. — Syncing the blockchain on the old client takes a long time; it can take a few days or even longer in certain circumstances. We really wanted to decrease syncing times and we did. The new client takes about 60–90 minutes on a system with an SSD and a few hours longer on an HDD. It’s a massive improvement that users will most certainly appreciate. — Fewer Orphan Blocks Visible. — Orphan blocks are blocks that are not accepted into the blockchain network due to a time lag in ...
