Gravity Featured The Gravity well: Pulling DeFi capital to Cosmos Migrating years of infrastructure and onboarding from Ethereum is a hard climb. Using Gravity, well, it's as easy as falling.
Althea Blockchain Gravity Bridge - V2 Althea is excited to announce the completion and test of the first transaction of a Cosmos based token (ALTG) to test ethereum (Goerli) using the second iteration of Althea Gravity, the Cosmos <> Ethereum bridge!
Althea Blockchain Featured Althea Testnet #1 Launched! Today we launched Althea Testnet #1 with more than twenty validators! A big thank you to everyone who participated and took the time to setup a node. We're looking forward to a bright future for the Althea blockchain when it's launched late next month.
Featured Announcing the Cosmos Gravity Bridge We're proud to announce the Ethereum-Cosmos bridge, Gravity, which we will to bring to the Cosmos Hub with a governance proposal later this year.
Peggy Peggy Dev update #3 Crossing the bridge: Ethereum -> Cosmos on Rinkeby! This Saturday we hosted Peggy BrokenNet #1. Over the course of our rapid 4 hour test we 1. Successfully deployed a 10 validator Cosmos blockchain with the Althea-Peggy Cosmos module 2. Successfully deployed the Peggy Ethereum contract [https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/address/
Peggy Contributing to Althea Peggy Good projects are built on good tooling. In the case of the Peggy Cosmos <-> Ethereum bridge developer tooling is a particularly complex problem. If you want to test Peggy end to end you need to build and deploy a full software stack for two different blockchains. For the experienced this
Blockchain Featured Peggy dev update #1: 75% of the cost of your transfer across the bridge is a simple state update in an ERC20 contract. We manage to fit all the hashing and verifications for 125 signatures into 25% of the cost!
Blockchain Featured Solid foundations for Peggy this investment will support our work in deploying more decentralized internet networks and the work of interoperability with Ethereum and Cosmos by developing the Peggy bridge.
Mesh Networks Going Where Others Cannot Althea's core premise is our "neighbour to neighbour, pay-per-forward" model. A model that revolutionizes how internet service is owned, provided and paid for. Why did we reinvent the wheel? What can Althea do that traditional ISPs cannot?
Blockchain Althea Development Update #84: Operator tools, Peggy developments, and EIP-55 support A new relay is born, our networks grew 34% between March and April We've been extraordinarily busy working on COVID rapid response [https://blog.althea.net/rapid-connectivity-response/] and the Peggy [https://blog.althea.net/defi-enabled-ethereum-bridge-for-cosmos/] Ethereum to Cosmos bridge. Operator tools We've been building operator focus tools to help Althea
Blockchain DeFi enabled Ethereum bridge for Cosmos DeFi investment is just another set of rules and automation for the bridge. Not a giant leap in technology, but instead, of perspective.
hardware Hardware hacking is good for business Routers are, for all their specific quirks, just computers. Like your desktop, phone, or a server.
compilers Althea Development Update #83: Rust static binaries and OpenWRT A four car pileup of complex codebases, starting with static binary building on Rust.
Althea Development Update #82: Direct router deposit with Wyre! With the new Beta 11 release users can now use the Wyre widget to buy and send funds directly to their router. We've been dreaming about a system like this for a very long time. While Wyre pay isn't available in every state or region where it is available users
abuja Althea Development Update #81: Phone client Beta 0 and the many fixes of router Beta 11 Without further delay, here is the Althea for Android app. You will need to use it with Beta 11 RC6 or later of the Althea router firmware. You can find a list of supported routers here.
Althea Development Update #80: Phone client networking, MCD upgrade Happy new year everyone! Since my last blog post [https://blog.althea.net/althea-development-update-79/] I've managed to implement the alternate network design I proposed. Phone client design proposed in update #79, now implemented and functionalThe major hudles where as follows. 1. Turns out Ipv6 multicast sockets need to be rebound
Althea Development Update #79: Things Android won't let you do Android devices as IPv6 mesh network participants Recently we've been working on a phone client for Althea [https://blog.althea.net/althea-development-update-78-building-a-phone-client/]. Our first design was to have every phone as a Babel node, advertising it's own routes and generally functioning independently. It turns out Android will let you do
Android Althea Development Update #78: Building a phone client It would be great for people to be able to buy a connection directly via their phone. You can’t really compete on price with something people already own.
debugging Althea Development Update #77: Hiding in plain sight Since our last update I’ve encountered a couple of bugs where the problem had been hiding in plain sight. In one case for weeks and another for a year or more. Discovering root causes long term subtle bugs is both satisfying and important to create a better product.
latency Althea Development Update #76: Automatic connection tuning Now we're exploring that we can do with multihomed users and connections
latency Althea Development Update #75: Chasing latency We apply latency control judiciously throughout at every Althea node in the network, with the ultimate goal of fairly allocating bandwidth at any given bottleneck.
Blockchain Althea Development Update #74: Automated Xdai bridge what we’ve done in this release is design a fully automated a bridge, the user merely has to deposit ETH and the router takes care of the rest. The money will be exchanged for DAI, then transferred across the cross-blockchain bridge to become Xdai.
debugging Althea Development Update #73: For want of a transaction A minute later when the gateway tried to validate that same payment again it chose the same failed node at random. It wouldn't get a third chance.
