Uniswap Protocol Governance Token (UNI) is Live! – Product Release & Updates – Altcoin Buzz

September 17, 2020 | Author: admin

The Uniswap Protocol token, UNI is live on Ethereum and the news has taken Twitter by storm. The news is even more exciting for existing Uniswap users as there is free UNI worth $1,4008 (1 UNI = $3.52) waiting for them in Uniswap. On a lighter note, this amount is more than the $1,200 Coronavirus stimulus check that millions of Americans received in 2020.

According to the official blog post, 400 UNI are claimable by each address, this even includes Uniswap addresses that have submitted only failed transactions to date. There are close to 120,000 such addresses.

At the time of press, close to 226,881 addresses hold UNI token and every second almost 12 addresses are claiming their free UNI. However, there exists an address that received more than 130k UNI. We will talk about that later in this article.

As a Uniswap user, all you need to do is log in to your profile and claim the UNI tokens. Here is a 2-step guide to claim the tokens:

In case you are facing issues claiming your UNI, Uniswap suggests this could be due to caching in the Cloudflare IPFS gateway. Furthermore, it suggests users use an alternate link.

TrustSwap founder Jeff Kirdeikis claimed and immediately sold the UNI for ETH. You may choose to hold the UNI as the ERC20 token is up by 100.3% in the last 24 hours.

Uniswap has proved to be a perfect product for the decentralized finance market. Now, the time is ripe to move towards community ownership by introducing UNI the protocol governance tool. According to a tweet by Robert Leshner, Founder Compound Finance, Uniswap will use Compound governance system contracts for governance management.

Right from its inception, Uniswap envisioned the development of a neutral and trust minimized ecosystem. For the very purpose, it has designed the governance framework with limited capacity. Precisely, the governance framework can participate only in:

At the time of genesis, Uniswap minted 1 billion UNI. Over the course of 4 years, 60% of these will be distributed to the Uniswap community members. However, 15% of these 60,000,000 UNI has already been distributed to past users. The tokens issued to the team, investors, and advisors will have a 4-year vesting period.

After 30 days, governance will reach its vesting cliff. Following this, Uniswap governance will be in complete control of the UNI vested to the Uniswap treasury.

Chef Nomi, the former head chef, SushiSwap confirmed that he received 138,269 UNI in the airdrop. It was first noticed by Twitter user @bcmakes.

Chef Nomi immediately confirmed the same by sharing the transaction details.

Currently, Uniswap and SushiSwap stand as strong rivals in the space. How Chef Nomi plans to use over 130k UNI? Will he contribute towards protocol governance or will he use them to dump UNI?

Do let us know your opinion in the comment section below.

Meanwhile, on our Altcoin Buzz YouTube channel, we are talking about whether the altcoin season for 2020 is over yet.

Analyst Nicholas Merten Says One Altcoin Poised to Outperform Bitcoin As Crypto Markets Search for Direction – The Daily Hodl

September 17, 2020 | Author: admin

A prominent crypto analyst says theres likely more pain in store for Bitcoin traders.

In a new episode of Data Dash, Nicholas Merten says that the current price action of Bitcoin (BTC) suggests a retreat to $9,000 is likely.

What were seeing right now is something that I really kind of feared in a sense for Bitcoin. Its not anything bad in the long term, its just something in the short termI guess its a good thingit gives us a position to possibly build in a larger position if we have some additional fiatTaking a look at the logarithmic weekly chart for Bitcoin, well take a look at BitStamp here, this is of course taking a step back all the way to 2015, we really want to take a look between the top in 2017, the rising lows, the lowering highs, the ledge that was building up to the breakout price here. We went up to $12000 on Bitcoin and now weve corrected back down with the low being here for the last week around $9800. A lot of people are curious about where Bitcoin is going to go. What were really seeing here is a making of support on previous resistance.

Merten says he remains bullish in the long run, comparing Bitcoins price action to golds recent trajectory to all-time highs.

Gold had a very similar case. A long term range, higher support levels, points of resistance, and what we see here is price breaking above that line of resistance, coming down and making it support, and then kicking off the next rally and breaking out to all time highs over the last year and a half. This is very important when were taking a look at Bitcoin as Bitcoin is seen as digital gold by a lot of people in the sense of its investment philosophy and what youre really buying is an asset. The worst case scenario (for Bitcoin) would go down to $9000

Merten says he believes Bitcoin will begin a long-term push to all-time highs in the first quarter of next year.

In the meantime, the analyst says the DeFi bull run is not over yet. He expects Ampleforth to be a top gainer while Bitcoin moves sideways.

Were started to kick back up, weve got volume rushing back in, and now were in the green right now. Its starting to signal on the multiple hour charts or particularly the daily as well.

We can start to see here that Ampleforth and a lot of other DeFi plays are starting to kick in and starting to make some major moves starting to set in higher lows, starting to put the base here for much more longer term rather than these sporadic 4 or 5 day rallies thatve crazy ends. I think its going to be a nice substantial run up here in market cap when we start to set higher highs and higher lows.

Ampleforth (AMPL) is a new type of crypto aiming to achieve price-supply equilibrium. According to its whitepaper,AMPLs supply expands or contracts every 24 hours based on the tokens price. If AMPL trades above $1, users get more tokens, and if AMPL trades below $1, users lose tokens.

Binance Coin surges by ~22%; could it be the Burger talking? – AMBCrypto English

September 17, 2020 | Author: admin

The markets ranking of the worlds top-10 cryptocurrencies by market cap has seen a host of changes over the past few months owing to a series of mini-rallies and corrections. For instance, apart from the top two positions, the remaining altcoins have all switched positions from time to time on CoinMarketCaps ladder. Binance coin [BNB] was one of the alts to gain positive momentum, having climbed into the top-10. Interestingly, it was also the only altcoin in the top-10 reporting massive gains on its charts.

BNB was being traded at $27.46, at press time, with its charts noting a fifth consecutive green candle, while registering a 22% hike in price over the last 24-hours, as per Binances chart on TradingView.

Interestingly, massive movements of Binance Coin were also highlighted by Whale Alert, a platform that tracks huge movements of cryptocurrencies. In fact, there has been a transfer of approximately $69 million BNB from Binance to an Unknown wallet in the past 24-hours. The last transfer took place a few hours back, one wherein 1 million BNB tokens worth $26.422 million were transferred from Binance to an anonymous wallet.

While many users speculated it to be an attempt to pump the tokens value, some users guessed that the transfer was going to BurgerSwap, a democratized automated market maker on Binance Smart Chain. Launched recently, BurgerSwap can be looked at as a replacement for the SushiSwap project as it intends to do things differently, while making DeFi accessible for everyone.

The announcement had noted,

As BurgerSwap is built on Binance Smart Chain, all tokens will have BNB pairs. In addition, each asset is also required to have a BURGER pair, which needs to account for at least 1% of the liquidity of the concerning asset to be eligible for mining rewards.

Since the use case of BNB has found a new avenue, the recent hike in price could be associated with the use of BNB in BurgerSwap. This trend aligned with the time when ETH was being leveraged on DeFi projects and the price of the digital asset surged. Despite the fact that it hasnt been long since the project was launched, with SUSHI users being hit, Binance may be able to attract more users, and with its open for all attitude, BNB may be the beneficiary of this new recipe.

September 17, 2020 | Author: admin

Linear Finance, the project that holds the potential to make DeFi more attractive for users made a major announcement today. The team proudly announced the listing of LINA (native Linear Finance token) on Uniswap. The token listing will occur on Thursday, September 17th, 2020, at 8:00 AM EST. According to the official Twitter handle, the project will also launch its pre-staking incentive program at the same time.

The LINA listing is a much-awaited event for the Linear Finance community. In light of fact that another LINA token is floating in the market, the team is being extra cautious. It has published the contract address of LINA to protect its community from buying any unrelated token.

Contract address of LINA: 0x3E9BC21C9b189C09dF3eF1B824798658d5011937.

One of the major announcements of that took Twitter and Ethereum network by storm was the UNI (Uniswap protocol governance token) going live on Uniswap. Immediately after the announcement, Binance, OKEX, and other major exchanges quickly listed UNI.

Linear Finance quickly reacted to the news. According to its official telegram channel, Linear Finance will allow users to trade UNI for LINA directly. At 8 am EST, it will announce the Uniswap and LINA/USDT pool address to build a LINA/UNI liquidity pool.

According to the official blog post, Linear Finance will list 16,000,0000 LINA worth $80,000 on Uniswap. Thus, at the time of listing one LINA will be worth $0.005 USDT.

The project promised its investors that they will be able to secure assets at a fair market price always. That is what is exactly happening. Shortly after listing LINA on Uniswap, the public and private investors will also receive their share of LINA.

Apart from price fairness, Linear Finance is the first platform for DeFi that includes an exchange with cross-chain compatibility. Its protocol will bring a major difference in the DeFi playground. Furthermore, it also employs a delta-one approach. With this approach, traders always get the absolute value of the underlying asset.

As soon as LINA goes live on Uniswap, Linear Finance will launch the Pre-staking Incentive Program. According to this program, the users will receive incentives for staking their LINA tokens.

The staking platform will reward stakers with LINA tokens. However, these will be distributed at the time of mainnet launch. Immediately after the mainnet launch, the stakers can use these tokens to mint USD. The early supporters will earn a total of 150,000,000 LINA that release according to a schedule for over the next 8 weeks.

Wall Street’s Love Affair With Snowflake And Cloud Computing Creates Biggest Software IPO In History – International Business Times

September 17, 2020 | Author: admin

KEY POINTS

In the biggest initial public offering of the year and the largest IPO ever for a software company, Snowflake (SNOW) raised $3.36 billion in its debut on Wednesday.

Priced at $120 per share in the offering, Snowflake shares closed at $253.93 on Wednesday, granting the data warehousing company a market cap of more than $70 billion larger than Goldman Sachs (GS).

Cloud-computing stocks have flourished in a year when the COVIS-19 pandemic has forced millions to work from home.

Cloud has gone from a proof of concept or for things that were less critical to companies realizing it will enable a much more agile and modern architecture and working style," Daniel Elman,an analyst at Nucleus Research, said according toBloomberg.

We have already seen [cloud stocks] Zoom (ZM), DocuSign (DOCU) and Datadog (DDOG) do well this year, Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mandeep Singh said. Investors understand the cloud business model well and that makes a high-growth company like Snowflake attractive.

Among the winners from the huge IPO was the Seattle-based firm Madrona Venture Group, which first invested in Snowflake three years ago.

Sometimes you find a team and a technology that is just poised to take off, Madrona Managing Director S. Somasegar said according to Geekwire.

Former Snowflake CEO Bob Muglia an ex- colleague of Somasegar at Microsoft (MSFT) owns 4 million Snowflake shares, or about a 1.7% stake, after selling half of his holdings to Warren Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A) in the IPO.

Singh of Bloomberg commented that Berkshires participation definitely validates the attractiveness of Snowflakes IPO.

Four of Snowflakes top executives, CEO Frank Slootman, Muglia, Chief Financial Officer Michael Scarpelli and Co-founder Benoit Dageville, now own stakes valued at $8 billion.

Iconiq Capital, a private investment firm, started investing in Snowflake in 2017. Its 12% stake in the company is now valued at $8.6 billion.

Another major beneficiary of Snowflakes IPO was early investor Sutter Hill Ventures, which owns more than 20% of the company a stake valued at $12.6 billion.

Based in San Mateo, Calif., Snowflake posted revenue of $242 million in the first half of 2020.

Aaron Levie, CEO of enterprise cloud company Box, said in a tweet that Snowflakes IPO is showing that markets for enterprise software continue to be far larger than most anticipate. With exponential growth in data, devices, and apps, something already big today might be 100 [times] bigger in just a few years.

Harri Thomas, a startup expert, tweeted: What's not to like about enterprise software? Clients budgets are massive, and procurement is such a pain for them that contracts are only ever revisited every 12-24 months, if that. You could be a massive enterprise business with [only five] customers.

However, Slootman was somewhat subdued about his companys successful IPO.

So far, so good, Slootman told Bloomberg. We needed to do this [IPO] for a number of reasons, especially to raise the stature of the company in the marketplace. We sell to the largest companies in the world and we also compete with the largest companies in the world, so its really important. ... Just staying on this growth trajectory takes one hell of an effort.

Regarding Snowflakes suddenly lofty valuation, Slootman told CNBC: A stock is worth exactly what somebody wants to pay for it. Its like talking about the weather, it is what it is. Tomorrows another day, well see what it brings.

The Top Green Zone Stocks in This Tech Disruptor Sector – Money and Markets

September 17, 2020 | Author: admin

Buying an exchange-traded fund (ETF) can be a great way to gain diversified exposure to a specific sector, industry group or investment theme. You can buy a whole basket of individual stocks with just one click of the mouse (or tap of the finger).

For instance, in May, I recommended my Cycle 9 Alert readers make a bullish play on the SPDR Biotech ETF (NYSE: XBI).

I wanted them to have exposure to the entire biotech space during its search-for-a-vaccine rally. And even though a viable vaccine has yet to be announced, we rode that rally for a net gain of 113% in just two months! (Note: We bought options on the ETF.)

Of course, while buying a diversified ETF will give you exposure to a broad sector, industry group or theme you could instead buy only the ETFs top stocks.

That is, if you have a method for determining which of the ETFs individual stock holdings are top, and which are not.

This way, youll filter out the companies that will drag down the ETFs overall performance!

And thats what my new ETF X-Ray is all about.

Ill run each of the individual stock holdings of a popular ETF through my six-factor Green Zone Ratings model showing you which ones are top-rated and which may be best to avoid.

Lets get straight to it with todays ETF X-Ray!

Global X manages the Global X Cloud Computing ETF (Nasdaq: CLOU). This fund company focuses on disruptor sector ETFs for its investors.

Ive seen Global Xs president speak at the Inside ETFs conference Ive attended the past two years. I really like that this suite of ETFs gives investors access to some of the most innovative and cutting-edge investment themes out there right now including Internet of Thingsand cloud computing (CLOU).

These Digital 2.0 technologies are growing at double-digit rates and driving innovations across multiple sectors. And Global Xs suite of disruptor-sector ETFs is a great way to gain one-click access to them.

That said, lets take an X-Ray look at the Global X Cloud Computer ETF through the lens of my six-factor Green Zone Ratings model.

The table below shows the ETFs individual stock holdings, along with the Overall Rating theyve earned on my six-factor model.

Note that Im presenting two tables

The left side is sorted by the weight that each stock holds in the ETF. The stock at the top (Zoom, ZM) has the largest allocation of the ETFs assets.

The right side is sorted by my rating systems Overall Rating, so its easy to spot which stocks are top-rated.

Youll see the two largest holdings in Global Xs cloud-computer ETF are Zoom Video Communications (ZM) and Twilio (TWLO), with each stock making up over 6% of the ETFs holdings.

As I see it, these are companies that benefit from functionality that cloud computing affords and not necessarily pure-play cloud companies.

Whats more, while both are hyped glamour stocks (and are having great years!) they arent as proven as the likes of Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT), all three of which rate higher than Zoom and Twilio on my quality, value and volatility factor ratings.

Otherwise, one company you may not have heard of before is SPS Commerce (Nasdaq: SPSC). Its barely grown out of the small-cap category, with a market cap of just $2.7 billion.

SPS Commerce offers supply-chain management software solutions on the cloud. And though its a lesser-known name, its growing like gangbusters earnings-per-share are up 78% annually for the past three years!

This cloud-leveraging company is certainly worth a close look.

One last thing a plug for the cloud-computing consultant I just recommended yesterday in my Green Zone Fortunes newsletter.

This global-leader tech consultant is an expert in all things Digital 2.0, not just the cloud. And Amazon selected this company as a Premier Partner of its market-share leading AWS cloud platform, making it the go-to choice for any company wanting to get onto the cloud.

Frankly, I was shocked to find this company isnt a holding of the Global X Cloud Computer ETF it rates an 87 overall on my Green Zone stock rating model, and my two-year profit target for the stock is 80% above current prices.

Stay tuned! Ill have details for how you can sign up to get that pick and many more in the coming days!

To good profits,

Adam ODell, CMT

What’s the risk of becoming too cloud-dependent? – TechHQ

September 17, 2020 | Author: admin

Cloud computing technology has championed our remote working shift.

Theres no doubt the last half-year would have been immeasurably more challenging without these anywhere-anytime-access solutions. For many workers, the closure of offices simply meant picking up their coat.

With so much now riding on a handful of cloud service providers, however, should we be cautious about just how much faith we place in them as the backbone of our business operations, and the vaults of sensitive business data?

A spate of recent outages and IT failures have highlighted the risk of being dependent on a small number of cloud technology providers. Gmail and Google Drive suffered an outage at the end of last month, while separately, photographers lost data when Adobe Lightroom updates deleted users photos and Canons Camera Cloud Platform lost original photo and video files.

We are increasingly dependent on a small number of players who dominate the market. Recent events show the challenge of maintaining productivity in outages highlighted the importance of external backups, said Peter Groucutt, the managing director at Databarracks commented.

And while replacing on-premise server rooms with the likes of AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, has been the most viable evolution of our IT infrastructure, it has inadvertently created a cloud computing oligopoly, according to Groucutt.

Cloud computing has, of course, seen a rapid rise in adoption long before remote working accelerated the expected pace of digital transformation. And while the recent events have increased cloud reliance, events long before have demonstrated the risks of just a few providers propping up such large swathes of critical infrastructure.

Amazon Web Services famously went offline in 2017, taking popular tools such as Grammarly, Medium, Slack, and Trello down with it. There was a realization of how businesses of all sizes have become entirely reliant on a handful of third-party providers of on-demand computing power and data storage.

In June last year, network congestion led to a Google Cloud outage, which saw at least 16 of Googles products out of action for the period including the entire G-Suite, Gmail, Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Cloud, and YouTube. Affected companies reportedly included Vimeo, Shopify, and Discord. Google Cloud-powered Snapchat received more than 48,000 outage-related complaints, according to Reuters, while neither firms have confirmed the link.

But when cloud services fail, it might not just be the services we rely on that are affected temporarily. The data we entrust to providers is also at risk.

Some argue the reason you do not need to back up cloud data is because a data loss is so unlikely, said Groucutt.

It would be too embarrassing and damaging for Microsoft, Google, or AWS if they were unable to recover data for their customers. Unfortunately, there are many examples of data being lost for a small subset of users. If youre in that small subset, you dont have a lot of power in the relationship with the cloud provider and if they say your data is unrecoverable, there isnt much you can do.

Cloud providers do not usually accept liability for data loss. In Microsofts Services Agreement, it explicitly recommends backing up your content and data that you store on the Services or store using third-party apps and services.

Public clouds are designed in a way that should make it very unlikely to lose data. The big cloud services are made up of different data centers around the world, with redundancy built into each region and zone. It shouldnt be possible for an issue in Amsterdam to affect data centers in the US.

Beyond the hardware, however, there is still a single point of failure. The services run on the same software and there is the chance of an update causing problems across multiple regions.

Groucutt continued: Ultimately, what this shows is, nothing is infallible. Its a universal truth in IT that everything eventually fails. These recent outages highlight how reliant we are on cloud services and the importance of having a backup that exists outside that primary production cloud.

What are the Benefits of Cloud Computing Security? – Enterprise Security Mag

September 17, 2020 | Author: admin

Cloud computing security differs mainly from businesses to businesses, but its primary goal is the protection of data and control of access to that data.

Fremont, CA:Cloud computing security engulfs the practices, technologies, controls, and applications leveraged to protect cloud computing environments. These security measures are curated to protect data, services, applications, and the related infrastructure in the cloud from internal and external threats, meanwhile safeguarding users privacy and allowing and maintaining compliance with all applicable rules and regulations. Although cloud computing security requires to vary widely from business to business, the primary goal is the safeguarding of data and the supervision of access to that data. With more businesses taking advantage of cloud computing and enjoying the reduced cost of doing business, increased agility, and the caliber to instantly scale, they must ensure that they consider security straight from the get-go and choose the correct kind and level of security to prevent data loss and leakage actively.

The Benefits of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing, or the distribution of IT services over the internet, needs a unique set of considerations than the traditional on-premises security. In the past, enterprise security meant surrounding the enterprise applications and data with firewalls and managing the endpoint devices that operated in those firewalls, and it was a model generally referred to as a walled garden. But this model is essentially incompatible with cloud computing, which by definition, needs data to move beyond the enterprise perimeter. Before, the focus was substantially on preventing malware. But today, with managed and unmanaged devices pushing data to the cloudand with data passing from one cloud to anotherthe security considerations have changed dramatically.

To ultimately realize the overall improved security that comes with the cloud, one must put the proper kind of cloud security in place.

There are three categories of cloud computing security controls:

1. Deterrent/Preventative Controls- Preventative controls work to lessen vulnerabilities, like through strong user authentication that positively pinpoints cloud users and aids eliminating the access pathways for unauthorized users. Deterrent controls, a subset of preventative controls, works less as a fence and more as a No Trespassing sign, letting those attempting to attack the cloud system know that doing so will bring consequences.

2. Detective Controls- These controls are created to find and address in-progress threats. Depending on the kind of attack, these controls will deploy either the corrective or preventative controls to eliminate the threat. Examples of detective controls include system/network security monitoring, such as intrusion detection and prevention.

3. Corrective Controls- These controls focus on damage control and remediation, either while an attack is in progress or after it has occurred. Rollback remediation that aids in restoring systems affected by ransomware is one example of a corrective control.
