The Bitcoin Standard concept refers to adopting Bitcoin as a global monetary alternative, similar to how gold was utilized in the past. Under this concept, Bitcoin would serve as an international reserve currency, disrupting the role of central banks.Notably, Bitcoin miners are critical to the functioning of the BTC network. These individuals help secure and validate transactions on the network by solving complex mathematical problems. In return, they receive incentives through Bitcoin and fees for their work. By adopting the Bitcoin Standard, these miners can better secure the network and ensure the long-term sustainability of the coin.Additionally, miners can increase their income by exploring new business models and services, such as cloud mining, mining pools and financial products based on Bitcoin. An additional source of income will help boost miners’ incentives, which were reduced by half following the April halving event.Furthermore, miners adopting the Bitcoin Standard can get extra freedom due to zero government interference. An increase in this indicator could lead to higher operational costs for miners, which might influence the future movement of Bitcoin’s price. However, Mike Novogratz, Galaxy Digital’s CEO, believes integrating AI into mining can reshape the Bitcoin mining ecosystem.This article was originally published on U.Today More

The DePIN network releases over 700 AirNodes in Northern Nevada and California, enhancing rewards for AirNode operators and connectivity for underserved communities. World Mobile, a leader in decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), today launched the second batch of AirNode sales, marking a significant expansion of its U.S. wireless network and reinforcing its commitment to connecting underserved communities. This new launch includes the deployment of over 700 AirNodes across Northern Nevada and California, to be distributed through global sales across multiple drops. The introduction of Batch Two follows the rapid sellout of Batch One earlier this year, which saw a complete uptake in fewer than 36 hours. World Mobile’s AirNodes, which are decentralized wireless network nodes, provide both cellular and fixed wireless internet connectivity, particularly to areas where traditional services fall short. AirNodes offer a unique opportunity for anyone to purchase and operate a DePIN node. AirNode Operators are rewarded based on the subscriber usage of the wireless services provided by their AirNode. In June, the average rewards payment for Operators exceeded $400, highlighting the impact of participation in the network. As World Mobile’s network continues to expand, it recently surpassed 100,000 daily active users globally, representing a 400 percent growth over the last year. This achievement positions World Mobile as the largest decentralized wireless network by unique users, with the network’s operations supported by World Mobile Token (WMT). All network transactions, including calls, data, and wallet transactions, will be compensated in WMT, ensuring that operators and stakers remain incentivized and engaged in driving ecosystem growth.

Tellor, a leading decentralized oracle protocol, is thrilled to announce the launch of the Antietam Testnet. This is the initial public testnet deployment for their upcoming Layer 1 blockchain, Tellor Layer, developed using the Cosmos SDK, and represents a major advancement in decentralized data consensus.Introducing Tellor Layer Tellor Layer is a groundbreaking blockchain solution designed to achieve consensus on subjective data through a network of economically incentivized staked parties. As a Layer 1 blockchain, Tellor Layer enables users to request and validate a diverse range of data, relying on a decentralized network of validators to maintain the integrity and security of the chain. To learn more about the technical underpinnings of Tellor Layer, the team invites users to review their new whitepaper.About the Public Testnet: Antietam TestnetThe launch of the public testnet, codenamed Antietam Testnet, represents a critical phase in the development of Tellor Layer. This initial iteration focuses on testing the fundamental functionalities of the network, including node participation, validation processes, and data reporting mechanisms. Antietam Testnet will undergo at least two iterations, each designed to stress-test the network and refine its processes in preparation for the mainnet launch.How to Participate in the Public TestnetThe primary objective of the Antietam Testnet is to engage the public in testing the core functionalities of Tellor Layer. Participants are encouraged to set up nodes, stake as validators, report data, and bridge test TRB tokens to and from the Tellor Layer.A detailed guide has been provided to assist participants in configuring their Tellor Layer nodes, joining the network, staking as validators, and beginning the reporting process. This guide assumes a basic familiarity with the Cosmos SDK and a comfort level with running experimental code via the command line interface. Please note that oracle data reporting is not yet available for public testing.Tellor Setup GuideTo join the Tellor Layer public testnet, users can follow the setup guide available in the Antietam Testnet documentation. The team encourages all participants to thoroughly review the guide before beginning to ensure a seamless setup experience. User’s feedback and participation are crucial as Tellor continues to advance towards the mainnet launch.Joining the CommunityFor additional support or to engage with the Tellor team, users are invited to join their Discord community and participate in the “testing layer” channel, where the team is available to assist with any questions or challenges.About TellorTellor is a decentralized oracle network that enables smart contracts on Ethereum and other blockchains to securely interact with off-chain data. Through its innovative design, Tellor brings the power of decentralized consensus to the world of data validation and reporting.ContactCSOMichael [email protected] article was originally published on Chainwire More
