Ethereum sharding technology is coming

On 30th of April Vitalik Buterin the Ethereum co-founder and the main mind behind the technology wrote on Twitter ‘Sharding is coming’

Sharding consists in increasing the number of transactions a blockchain can process. The amount of work is then separated between many different network computers, which allows the blockchain to process more transactions in the same period of time.

Buterin explained that it will be a proof of concept and that with this innovation, new blocks will be created in between 2 to 8 seconds. This is big news for Ethereum since it could solve scalability issues.

NanoMate significant update

On 29th of April NanoMate has recieved significant updates. NanoMate is a service that allows the users to send Nano via different social apps like Discord, Whatsapp, Email, SMS, Slack or Facebook Messenger.

The process is simple: users adds friend’s details and NanoMate creates new wallet for them. When it receives funds, NanoMate emails the fiend a link and password they can use to transfer the Nano to their own wallet. This email includes an intro to Nano, and instructions on setting up a wallet of their choice. Unclaimed Nano can be claimed back. The fee is 1c.

This is a very easy process that could increase Nano mainstream usage and demand for the token as a result.
