Bitshares - State of the Network - 2nd May 2017

The Bitshares State of the Network Reports seeks to combine raw data from a wide range of metrics and combine them into meaningful information to identify emerging trends and changes in the Bitshares network.

Observation from this week

This section will highlight any observations made while analysing the data.

  • The Bitshares committee members have proposed a reduction in network fee's in order to offset the recent increase in market price of BTS. The fee reduction proposal is based off the fee structure discussed HERE. You can view the proposal and the current approval rate HERE and a new forum thread has been started HERE to aid community discussion.

  • Dan Larimer is scheduled to do an interview with Alex Sterk from 'Blocktalk', This Thursday 4th May at 8PM EST; The topic of the talk is Graphene technology and how it is being utilized by Bitshares and Steem. You can keep an eye on the following pending live stream

  • Dan Larimer has posted information regarding a new project he has been working on called EOS; Full details will be unveiled at Consensus 2017 (22nd-25th of May - NY). So far limited information has been released; but from the original post we can see that this project is a platform designed for parallel execution of smart contracts and will have a native token; distribution model seems to be a new approach as well. View the original post HERE and follow @dantheman as more details maybe released before the event.

  • Dan Notestein (@Blocktrades) from Blocktrades.us has announced they are shutting down their gateway services and handing operation of these gateways to OpenLedger who will continue to operate them for on/off ramps of Open.Assets on the Bitshares network. Blocktrades will continue operating their cryptocurrency bridge services allowing users to seamlessly exchange from one currency to another. See the official announcement HERE

  • Another week and BitUSD is still worth 1 USD - Fun fact: did you know that as of yesterday $1 USD worth of value in (BitUSD, BitCNY, BitEUR, BitBTC, BitGOLD and BitSILVER) is on average backed by $4.14 USD worth of BTS collateral!! That is to say that on average for every $1 USD worth of smartcoin value there is 4x the value in BTS collateral locked on the network by a smart contract. This collateral makes up 16.7% of the total available supply of Bitshares and that percentage is growing.

  • Bitshares newest witness @roelandp has developed a witness monitoring tool.
