The issuer of the stablecoin Tether has not provided a definitive answer on whether or not it will cease support for the Tron network, after rival Circle stopped minting its stablecoin on the blockchain on Tuesday.

In a statement, Tether stated: “Tether tokens are issued on several blockchains, which are simply transport layers for such tokens.” In addition, the company stated that it retains the ability to freeze transactions on each directly admitted transport layer in order to fulfil its compliance obligations.

However, Tether also actively monitors the security of each of the supported transport layers to ensure the highest standards for our community.

Tether is the largest stablecoin, with a market capitalization of USD 97.7 billion, while Circle’s USD Coin (USDC) remains at USD 28 billion, according to data from CoinGecko.

The Tron network hosts more than 51.8 billion USDT, which represents more than half of the nearly 101 billion USDT tokens issued across multiple blockchains, according to Tether’s transparency report dated February 21.

These comments from Tether came in response to an announcement from Circle on February 20, when the company revealed that it was immediately finalizing the minting of USDC on Tron and would phase out support for the network. Circle justified this decision by aligning it with “efforts to ensure that USDC remains reliable, transparent and secure.

The cardano network recently surpassed 50 million transactions processed, which is an important record for the blockchain project.

This idea, headed by Charles Hoskinson, until a few days ago had accounted for some 50,032,742 transactions, distributed in 363 epochs (an element comparable to blocks in other networks).

It is worth noting that the network officially enabled functionality for smart contracts after an update carried out last year, with which Cardano officially began to support numerous use cases that sought to make use of the technology of the protocol to reinforce its operations.

An interesting fact about the transactions is that of the total capitalized, at least 920,000 took place in the last 15 days, being one of the highest peaks of activity recorded by the network in recent times.

It is expected that in the next few days this network will have an important update.

The Google Chrome, Edge and Firefox browsers will soon launch their 100th update, but these new versions could compromise their compatibility with various web pages that would affect Internet access to millions of users around the world.

According to the developers of the different brands, the update of the next version of the browsers, which will be available in March for Google Chrome and Edge, while the one for Firefox will be released in May, could affect the income of some pages because “they are not ready to read three-digit user agent strings, similar to what happened when browsers reached two-digit versions more than a decade ago.”

The companies behind Google, Microsoft and Mozilla browsers are currently working hard solve the failures that millions of users may present with the new three-digit update.

Browsers work to fix bugs

The developers are designing various strategies, among which stands our the activation of a specific tag in the current versions of the browsers that allows a simulation of the next update in order to approve different websites and their reaction to the three-digit encoding.

The company that supports Mozilla plans to correct the faults once they appear when accessing the different websites. But, if they cannot solve it, they plan to use a strategy similar to that proposed by Google, which consists of freezing version 99 of the browser.

The reports generated so far indicate that the sites with the highest user traffic that experience compatibility difficulties are HBO Go, Bethesda and Yahoo. Therefore, the companies are asking users who want to help mitigate the “possible consequences to configure their browsers with the special tag and report any problems with their performance.”

Donald Trump, former president of the United States, launched his own instant messaging social network called Truth Social in the US market with the purpose of competing with the Twitter and Facebook platforms and in which there will be no “political discrimination”, being totally free for English speaking users.

The social network Truth Social created and promoted by the millionaire includes an interface similar to that of Twitter, “with a profile page where you can read the “truths” (equivalent to tweets) of the users who are follows, a window to search for other Internet users and the possibility of sending private messages.”

The new platform was launched this Monday, February 21st, within the framework of President’s Day in the United States, where tribute is paid to the different people who have held office in that country and it is also very close to the date of birth of George Washington, the first person to hold the position.

At present, the social network can only be downloaded from Apple’s online store, but the platform’s official website indicates that “soon” it will also be available for the Android system.

Telefonica gained a lot of spectrum destined for 5G in the 3.5 GHz band for 420 million reais (65 million euros) in the Brazilian frequency auction that began last Thursday.

The company thus acquires one of the 80 MHz regional batches in the main strip for the development of 5G in the South American country for which it has paid 30 % more than its starting price, as confirmed by Europa Press.

The block carries with it obligations to install base stations in a minimum proportion of one per 10,000 inhabitants, as well as to solve the problems that may arise for the reception of free-to-air television to those affected.

Likewise, it must participate in the implementation of the Integrated and Sustainable Amazonia (PAIS) program and in the Private Communication Network project of the Federal Public Administration.

Together with Telefonica, Claro and Telecom Italia, their two main rivals, have acquired equivalent blocks, which have paid respectively 338 million reais and 351 million reais (52 and 54 million euros), for 5.18 % and 9, 22 % above the starting prices.

The reason why Telefonica’s band is more expensive is because it is the one in the middle with which it has the possibility of reaching agreements to share a network and continue to maintain its continuous spectrum with its two competitors.

The auction is still ongoing and is expected to end this Friday when the regional stripes are also auctioned, as well as those that are left deserted in a first round.

The YouTube video platform introduced a new custom tab called “New to you,” which was in testing since the beginning of the year and as of October 25 is available to all users of the network.

This new “New To You” tab is available, through Andoid Police, on the YouTube home page for mobile devices, web pages and smart TVs.

Generally, the feed on the YouTube home page is made up of the content of the artists, authors and inventors that you normally follow, but with this new tab you can find new content from creators you don’t know.

The goal of “New to you” is to provide visibility to lesser known creators. YouTube notes “that the feature goes beyond the typical content recommendations you receive in your feed and tries to expose you to new content and creators that you haven’t explored.”

The YouTube New to You tab comes to enhance the user experience and the reach of the creators, improving the user experience in getting more accurate recommendations for unknown channels for users. While for creators it is an opportunity to position themselves and reach new users that will allow them to increase their audience.

For all content creators for specific segments, it is very likely that from now on they will begin to appear in the new “New to You” tab of YouTube.

The Firefox browser has introduced network and cache partitions to the network, a feature aimed at protecting users from connection-based tracking, capable of disabling supercookies.

The partitions represent a “fundamental change” in the network architecture of the browser, and allow to isolate the network connections and cache with the webs, normally used to load shared elements more quickly, since in this way tracking is prevented of users, even through supercookies.

As explained from Mozilla, crawlers can abuse caches to create supercookies, which replace normal cookies to store user identifiers, but are more difficult to delete and block.

The changes introduced in Firefox 85 are focused on reducing the presence of supercookies through the network and cache partitions, since they “make them useless for monitoring between sites”, Mozilla points out on its official blog.

Firefox 85 also introduces pooled connection partitions, prefetch, speculative, and TLS session identifiers, to protect users from connection-based tracking.

The digital currency Tether has turned out to be the first token to be activated in Hermez’s layer two network, it has been associated with the cryptoasset in order to offer cheaper transactions through accumulation of zero knowledge.

As described, the company specified that the collaboration will be possible after the Hermez network is officially launched in early 2021.

Likewise, the company reported that the Hermez network “is run by coordinators without permission who will decide the transactions included in each lot, based on incentives (rates)”

For its part, a Hermez spokesperson announced that this year “rates are expected to be predictable after the initial transitional period, given that a lot is the same scarce resource as a (layer one) block at present, the rates should be sufficient to incentivize a coordinator to include your transaction in the lot. The main difference is that now the lots can have 2,000 tx each ”.

In recent times, the clamor for layer two adoption has increased, leading to expensive gas fees. In fact, the latest incident of this type caused disruptions to project teams seeking to launch their platforms.
