With these milestones, Elrond will position on a hypergrowth path, one toward mainstream adoption. In addition to crypto, the app will gradually provide the same features as PayPal, Venmo and Google Pay, but without collecting any personal information and charging negligible fixed fees instead of a percentage of the transacted value.

Elrond is a public blockchain that has delivered the first truly scalable sharding architecture solution, which is able to deliver more than 15,000 transactions per second (TPS) and can scale even further, having achieved 263,000 TPS in public tests.

Elrond opens up a new frontier offering internet-scale blockchain performance, and an intuitive application called Maiar, through which we aim to bring the next billion people to the blockchain space.”
