Greetings everyone,
We start off this week’s update with an key updates on token swap, in response to some of the most pressing queries on Telegram. We have also shared some exciting community projects highlights from Unstoppable Domains and Krypton. Given our commitment to driving the accelerator programme, ZIL Hive — we share some tips that will help all the developers, visionaries, entrepreneurs out there to better shape their project and apply!
Token Swap Update
Binance will support another token swap for Zilliqa, converting ERC20s into mainnet ZILs. This second round will take place on 10th July.
This process is transparent to token holders. This trench of swap is expected to be around 1.5 billion Zilliqa token. Hence, you may notice ~1.5 billion tokens moving from Binance wallet to Zilliqa incinerator.
For tokens holder, the token swap process remains the same. As a refresher:
- Deposit ERC20 interim ZILs on the exchange (listed below)
- Get native ZILs in return when withdrawing from the exchange
Current exchanges that are supporting token swap on a continuing basis:
We are currently coordinating with and providing technical support for token swap to the following list of exchanges:
- Bitfinex/Ethfinex
- Bittrex
- Coinbase
- Gopax
- Huobi
Application Tips for ZIL Hive: Back to the Basics
When applying for any grant, it is crucial to consider some key elements that would apply to any business or project proposal. The more you are able to balance these and make a strong case — both from the technical and business perspective, the more likely it is that we will be persuaded and inspired to invest in you. It is always worthwhile receiving a refresher on the below points (albeit basic) because including these elements (though not necessarily in this framework) will make for a much more robust proposal.
- WHY — Why is this a relevant project? To the industry, to us, and the world? Why does it resonate with you? “Why now” — What features of your business, if relevant, addresses a pressing/contemporary business or social need?
- WHAT — What are you trying to achieve or solve? What are your core objectives? What does your roadmap look like? What is the project’s overarching ambition? How does it include a key theme of the grant if applicable? (For example, in the case of ZIL Hive, it is innovation).
- HOW — How will you achieve this on a public blockchain? How will your project create measurable change in the industry, within a specific process, or address? How will you define and evaluate outcomes of success and growth?
- WHO — Who are the stakeholders? How many people, groups or communities will this affect?
- WHY US — Why are you applying for incubation with Zilliqa and LongHash?
In addition to the above, here are some recommendations:
- Make your application comprehensive, yet clear. Make sure you have a mission and a vision which clearly articulates your thinking, approach and your unique value proposition
- If you’re stumbling or have hit a roadblock along the way, consult experts, enthusiasts or mentors you may have come across — whether it is a peer, a business leader, a university professor or researcher — anyone who is passionate about the same topic(s). Getting an alternate point of view is invaluable, and often helps entrepreneurs streamline their own projects
- We would also recommend asking yourself the toughest and most critical questions about the project, its feasibility and its sustainability (financial and otherwise). This will prepare you for the kind of questions you will have to answer during Demo Day
