The number of projects adopting layer-two solutions for Ethereum’s scaling woes is increasing, with LuaSwap rolling out a new, TomoChain-based exchange engine yesterday.

The change will enable the Uniswap inspired exchange to perform token swaps with greater speed and efficiency than many rival Automated Market Maker ERC-20 exchanges.

TomoChain uses block lengths of two seconds and has transaction costs that are slightly lower than the main net of Ethereum. As such, on TomoChain, trades that might usually cost $10 or $20 on Ethereum can be performed for only a few cents.

The feature will allow users of Binance’s US affiliate to process orders worth $10,000 or more directly between customers, off of the normal exchange’s order book. Catherine Coley, CEO of Binance America, announced the launch during Consensus: Distributed on Monday.

Users are able to write, share, and like short-form posts called “pulses” from other users.

One of the largest crypto exchange Coinbase announced that it will invest a total of $1.1 million in two separate projects through its USDC Bootstrap Fund. This is a major development for the DeFi space and for the crypto space at large. It remains to be seen how the blockchain industry reacts to it. The fund is looking to boost development in the DeFi sector and is investing in projects denominated in stablecoins backed by the United States Dollar. The money is donated directly to the DeFi protocols.

Despite markets all over the world facing ever-worsening economic troubles amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it seems as though the crypto industry has been able to weather the storm.

Major cryptocurrency exchange has tweeted that there is now a screenshot of an apparent prototype for trading BTC/Tether (USDT) options contracts.
