New Era in DeFi: Everlodge (ELDG) Outshines Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL)

Total Media

Ethereum (ETH) is the leading DeFi project with a TVL of more than $30 billion. While Solana (SOL) is hot on the tail of Ethereum with its fast transaction speeds and growing popularity, a new player has entered the DeFi game — Everlodge (ELDG). This new DeFi project is especially intriguing as it surged by 170% during a presale phase of discounted tokens. Let's examine Everlodge's offering and why it's creating quite a buzz in the DeFi world. Revolutionizing Real Estate Investment with Everlodge (ELDG) Everlodge is reshaping the $280T real estate industry by using blockchain technology to transform physical properties into digital assets. This enables anyone to invest, trade, and own a fraction of the world's real estate. $100 is all that retail investors need to own a fraction of some of the most sought-after properties in the world. Everlodge isn't just revolutionizing ownership but is also energizing the broader real estate sector. The Launchpad function is a central hub between ambitious property developers and a community of investors. It's a place where developers can easily secure development capital while investors gain access to exclusive pre-sale deals. Then there's the Rewards Club, a testament to Everlodge's vision of delivering unparalleled experiences. Whether it's enjoying complimentary stays, monetizing acquired nights, or leveraging property-related NFTs for loans, there are rewards for all to enjoy. While the Everlodge platform has yet to launch, the ELDG token can be bought for just $0.027 during the presale. This price will keep increasing as word spreads about the project's potential. Once on exchanges, ELDG is expected to surge by 30x when the platform launches. ELDG tokens are well worth holding onto as they come with staking rewards, exclusive deals, discounts on stays, reduced fees, and more. This means that holders may not only benefit from potential token price appreciation but also from additional incentives. Everlodge is the perfect example of DeFi's true potential in the real world. The real estate market is one of the largest and most valuable in the world, and by integrating blockchain technology, Everlodge could become a household name. Visit Everlodge Ethereum (ETH) Price Analysis and Resistance Hurdles Ethereum continues to reign as the leader in smart contract technology, boasting a formidable market capitalization of $270 billion and a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $28.50 billion. Ethereum has been a linchpin in the DeFi arena, powering popular projects like Uniswap, MakerDAO, and Aave. However, Ethereum is starting to lose its sheen as scalability and high gas fees pose major obstacles to further growth. The rise of Solana, Avalanche, Comos, and other Layer-1 solutions has intensified competition, with Ethereum facing challenges in maintaining its dominance. This seems to be reflected in the Ethereum price, which is hovering at the lowest ETH/BTC ratio since June 2022. The ETH/USD chart shows more positive signals, but Ethereum still struggles to surpass the $2,500 resistance area. Yet, there are positive developments for Ethereum. Notably, Blackrock and other institutional entities are seeking the SEC's approval for spot Ethereum ETFs, which could propel ETH to new heights and potentially ignite another bull run. The development of layer-2 solutions, like Arbtrium, Optimism, and Polygon, also boost Ethereum's scalability and address its high gas fees. Plus, the anticipated EIP-4844 update will take fees to below a dollar. Whether these technical developments can take Ethereum to the $10,000 price level remains to be seen. Some early Ethereum fans are now using their ETH tokens to join the Everlodge presale, especially while tokens remain at low prices before price discovery begins. Assessing Solana (SOL)'s Market Potential Solana is on a mission to be the fastest and most user-friendly blockchain, and it's gaining significant traction in the DeFi space. Solana fans appreciate that products can already be built on the platform and that it can process thousands of transactions per second. Unsurprisingly, Solana's TVL has grown to $898m, and there are over 50 million transactions daily. The price of Solana reflects the growing interest in the platform, with the current price of $69 representing a 762% gain since January 1st, 2023. But just how much higher can Solana go? The chart shows that $80 is the next strong resistance level to overcome. This price hasn't been achieved since May 2022, so it is unlikely to break it on the first attempt. There is also the looming threat of the FTX Estate selling off billions worth of SOL tokens in the near future. The buying pressure will need to be strong to soak up this sudden influx of tokens, and it will be interesting to see how the market reacts. Solana also faces competition from other layer-1 solutions such as Algorand, Avalanche, and Kaspa. Solana would need a market cap of roughly $900 billion to keep up with Everlodge's expected 30x boom upon release. That's why some Solana holders are taking their 2023 profits and diversifying into the Everlodge presale to potentially catch another huge return.

Alkane Resources to keep up the pace after revising Boda MRE

Alkane Resources Limited

Alkane Resources Ltd (ASX:ALK, OTC:ALKEF) Managing Director Nic Earner speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the gold producer and explorer announced a revised indicated and inferred mineral resource estimate (MRE) for the Boda Deposit at its Northern Molong Porphyry Project (NMPP) in Central West New South Wales. A revised indicated and inferred mineral resource estimate (MRE) for the Boda Deposit including Boda 2-3 now stands at 583 million tonnes at 0.58 g/t gold-equivalent (0.34 g/t gold and 0.18% copper) for 10.9 million gold equivalent ounces. This includes 6.38 million ounces of gold and 1.03 million tonnes of copper. Earner highlights the key change from the original Boda resource: despite a slight reduction in tonnage, the metal grade has notably increased. He suggests that the shift is particularly beneficial as it implies mining lower tonnes for more metal, thereby increasing the potential profit margin. Furthermore, Alkane is preparing to release updated Kaiser RC drilling results, potentially before Christmas, followed by a resource update in early 2023. He goes on to say that the company is also advancing scoping studies, including metallurgical results and engineering work, which will culminate in detailed mine plans for Boda and Kaiser. Alongside these developments, Alkane's Tomingley Goldmine continues to perform strongly, aligning with the company's guidance and contributing to a successful 2023. Work on project delivery are expected to extend the mine's life until 2032, staying within budget and schedule. Contact Details Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com

Cronos Labs Launches Public zkEVM Testnet Using zkSync's ZK Stack Technology

Cronos

Cronos Labs, the web3 start-up accelerator focusing on DeFi, GameFi, and the development of the Cronos ecosystem, announced today the launch of Cronos zkEVM Chain testnet, a zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup blockchain network that represents a significant milestone on Cronos' journey towards scalability and mainstream adoption. The testnet is a hyperchain using ZK Stack, launched in a partnership between Cronos Labs, Matter Labs, the team behind zkSync, and engineering teams from Crypto.com, VVS Finance, Fulcrom Finance and Veno Finance. With an addressable user base of more than 80 million crypto holders around the world, Cronos is on a mission to make it easy and safe for the next billion crypto users to adopt self-custodial Web3, DeFi, NFTs and GameFi. Ken Timsit, Managing Director of Cronos Labs, said: "The Cronos ecosystem already includes a top 10 blockchain by Total Value Locked, a top 5 Cosmos network by staked amount, a top 30 cryptocurrency, and a major EVM-compatible app ecosystem with more than 500 projects. More remains to be done in order to prepare for the next wave of Web3 adoption. The Cronos zkEVM testnet represents an opportunity for Cronos Labs and our partners, including VVS, Fulcrom and Veno, to experiment with ZK layer 2 technology in order to prepare the next phase of growth starting in 2024. Other Cronos apps are warmly invited to join the testnet." “When we introduced the ZK Stack, we opened up the door for anyone wanting to build on top of Ethereum to do so by deploying hyperchains. Whether you’re building a specialized Rollup or a general purpose one, hyperchains allow you to tap into Ethereum’s extensive userbase base and liquidity while preserving its robust security and decentralization”, said Marco Cora, senior vice president of business and operations at Matter Labs. “We’re extremely excited to see Cronos deploying a hyperchain. With their extensive and diverse ecosystem of millions of users as well as the impressive financial value stored on-chain, they will be a great use case for the mass adoption of hyperchains.” First live public hyperchain testnet building on ZK Stack The Cronos zkEVM testnet is a zero-knowledge layer 2 roll-up network on top of Ethereum Sepolia testnet, meaning that it is secured by the Ethereum testnet both from a final settlement and a data availability standpoint. It uses the latest Boojum STARK-based zero-knowledge proof system, which in addition to its ability to run on GPUs with as little as 16 GB of RAM, boasts amongst the lowest fees of any layer 2 rollup, with further cost optimizations planned in the near future. The network uses TCRO, a testnet version of the $CRO cryptocurrency of the Cronos ecosystem, as its native token to pay for transaction fees, but it can also support fee payment in any cryptocurrency thanks to zkSync's native account abstraction implemented at the protocol level. This is the first live public testnet utilizing ZK Stack, a modular, open-source framework leveraging zkSync’s code, that is designed to build custom ZK-powered L2s and L3s (referred to as hyperchains). Hyperchains are fractal-like instances of zkEVM networks running in parallel and with a common settlement on the Ethereum mainnet.In 2024, hyperchains will adopt a shared native bridge to Ethereum mainnet as well as unified interchain messaging, which will make it possible for users to send tokens, messages or transactions across hyperchains while benefiting from the security of the Ethereum network. As part of internal performance benchmarks, hyperchain technology can already deliver in excess of 100 transactions per second, with significant performance improvements planned for the coming months. The community is invited to run additional tests on this newly launched testnet and share them with the Cronos community. What's next? The launch of Cronos zkEVM testnet is a significant milestone on Cronos' multi-year scalability journey. Earlier in 2023, Cronos announced significant performance improvements of the flagship Cronos network, the leading EVM-compatible blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK. Cronos also announced the commercial availability of application-specific optimistic rollup networks on top of Cronos, thanks to a partnership with Caldera. Finally, in October 2023, Crypto.org Chain implemented a rebranding into Cronos POS chain. Therefore, the Cronos ecosystem is now multi-chain across several networks in order to support a broad range of user needs and use cases: Cronos (the EVM blockchain) is the leading Ethereum-compatible network built on the Cosmos SDK, permissionless, programmable layer-1, home to more than 500 project teams who have created decentralized applications powered by smart contracts. The Cronos EVM chain has securely delivered more than 80 M transactions for more than 1 M users to date, and secures around 300 M US$ of DeFi Total Value Locked. Cronos is extendable, thanks to application-specific optimistic layer 2 blockchains that can be deployed on top of Cronos by app creators. Cronos POS chain is the layer-zero network that guarantees the security of the Cronos ecosystem. It is the native issuer of the $CRO utility token, secured by a vast network of more than 100 nodes representing ~600 M US$ in staked value, in the top 5 of all Cosmos chains. The Cronos POS chain has securely validated around 35 M transactions, with an average transaction fee of 0.00001 US$. Cronos zkEVM (now in testnet) is the latest sister chain that aims to extend the rich portfolio of Cronos apps into the promising zkSync hyperchain ecosystem, in order to further broaden its user base and make it easier to move liquidity back and forth between Ethereum and the Cronos chain(s). For Cronos, the next step will be to better understand the performance of the newly launched zkEVM network and determine the best potential path for mainnet deployment of ZK layer 2 technology and access to the shared liquidity of the Ethereum network. The protocol team will continue to experiment with layer 2 technologies and data availability protocols to determine how they can further strengthen the Cronos ecosystem. It will also continue to work closely with the Cosmos ecosystem when it comes to the development and integration of new or updated Cosmos SDK modules into Cronos chains, and integration of additional IBC functionalities. About Cronos Cronos ( cronos.org ) is the leading Ethereum-compatible layer 1 blockchain network built on the Cosmos SDK, supported by Crypto.com and more than 500 app developers and partners. Today, the #CROfam ecosystem represents an addressable user base of more than 80 million people worldwide. Our mission is to make it easy and safe for the next billion crypto users to adopt Web3, with a focus on decentralized applications in the DeFi, NFTs and GameFi verticals.

Block grades were checked visually onscreen using Maptek Vulcan™ software and viewed in cross-sections and plans against the drill hole composites grades.  Our QP has advised this comparison provided good correlation between the input data and estimated values. No obvious discrepancies were observed. David Greenway, President, and CEO commented, “I am delighted that we will be able to release the maiden MRE shortly which will enhance the data we have on this highly prospective project.  The Company is pushing forward on all fronts with our inaugural NI 43-101, with a pending drill program to continue to build on this MRE report. These developments should make for an exciting next period for Recharge and its stakeholders at the Pocitos Project.” WSP utilized information gathered from the NI 43-101 technical report dated 30 June 2023 completed by Panopus Pte Ltd and the May 2023 MT Survey, 2018 TEM survey, drilling programs, core logs and core porosity data from Geoanalysis and Core Laboratories to prepare the Resource Estimate.  This is another milestone in the Company's endeavour to build up to a 20,000-tonne Ekosolve™ direct lithium extraction (“DLE”) plant at the Pocitos project in order to supply Richlink Capital’s clients up to 20,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate per year, as previous ly announced under a letter of intent of offtake.   Phil Thomas our QP, COO and Director recently made a visit to Shanghai China and met with Richlink and its clients and inspected a lithium chloride, and lithium n-butyl plant. The full NI 43-101 Report dated June 30, 2023, and entitled  “Technical Report For The Pocitos Salar Lithium Concession, Salta Province, Argentina”, can be found on the Company’s website www.recharge-resources.com and on SEDAR+ under the Company’s issuer profile at www.sedarplus.ca.   Click Image To View Full Size   About Pocitos Lithium Brine Project The Pocitos 1 Project is located approximately 10km from the township of Pocitos where there is gas, electricity, and accommodation. Pocitos 1 is approximately 800 hectares and is accessible by road. Collective exploration totals over US$2.0 million developing the project, including surface sampling, trenching, TEM and MT geophysics and drilling three wells that had outstanding brine flow results. Locations for immediate follow up drilling have already been designed and identified for upcoming exploration.  Lithium values of 169 ppm from drill hole 3 packer test assayed from laboratory analysis conducted by Alex Stewart were recorded during the project’s December 2022 drill campaigns. A double packer sampling system in HQ Diamond drill holes were drilled to a depth of up to 409 metres. The flow of brine was observed to continue for more than five hours. All holes had exceptional brine flow rates. Ekosolve Ltd. produced lithium carbonate at a purity of 99.89%, where extraction of the lithium from the brines was above 94% i.e. 159ppm of lithium would have been recovered from 169ppm.
