Continuous improvement: Tezos & Ramp
Hey Ramp community!
Today's topic on our blog is... Tezos! A lot was expected from this PoS blockchain since day one - let's see what is the current progress with the network and explore the details of this exciting new partnership!
A fearless combo: Ramp and Fearless Wallet
Financial freedom is incredible. Value flows freely, what's yours is yours, no intermediaries involved... Magic. Yet financial freedom is also scary. The irreversibility of blockchain, lack of omnipotent custodians - all this can be frightening for the first time users. Tips for them? Good entry level materials, moderate amounts of CryptoTwitter... and a Fearless wallet! Now with built-in Ramp integration!
Polygon: paving the way for Ethereum scaling
When Ethereum followed Bitcoin, we were all amazed by its incredible capabilities. Everything was possible and the internet of money was within arms reach. However, once we started to build, Ethereum shortcomings became evident - high gas costs, slow transaction speeds and lack of scalability threatened to stall the web3 movement. This post will be the first one in the Scaling series - where we discuss opportunities presented by different Layer 2 solutions or gas optimised sidechains.
This time, the spotlight is on Polygon, formerly known as Matic Network.
Ramp for individual users
We have been talking a lot about partnerships, implementations and wide-scale uses for crypto ramps, both ours (ramp.network) and in general. However, sometimes all you need is an easy way to get crypto, and Ramp can help here as well.
Why on-ramps matter
Some of the greatest advantages of the crypto community and market are mutual understanding and common goals. Most users, readers, members and customers are genuine enthusiasts, knowledgeable about the subject and very eager to give feedback, try new solutions and help. Or, so seems to be the case - reality differs a bit.
Interoperability principles - Polkadot x Ramp
When we talk about Ramp, we often say that we work on making banks and blockchain interoperable. Bridging two separate ledgers is not always easy - especially when there are so many foundational differences between the old and the new worlds. But we want them to cooperate in the long run.
In this sense, there's a lot we share with the amazing team at Polkadot & Web3 Foundation - a common goal of supporting developers in building beautiful, customised and cooperating use-cases in crypto. We're tremendously happy to announce Ramp has just become a part of this ecosystem!
