Sky Mavis: “The current network requires 70% of the current validators to approve a proposal.”
More Validators = More Security
Sky Mavis, the development company behind the popular Play to Earn game Axie Infinity and the Ronin bridge, said it had increased the number of validators on Ronin to 17.
The three entities that will take on this role are Efficient Frontier, Community Gaming and Nansen. In addition, the project revealed that it is getting closer to its goal in the next three months of deploying 21 independent nodes and, in the far future, 100 nodes.
“Today’s validators were selected to ensure that Ronin has active, responsive, and secure validators backing the network as part of Sky Mavis’ commitment to bolstering our security,” said the Sky Marvis development team. “As part of Sky Mavis’ shift towards decentralization, Sky Mavis proposes new validators and puts them up for a vote.”
Sky Mavis' latest move to expand validators to strengthen the security of the project follows the Ronin bridge attack at the end of March. This was the most damaging cryptocurrency attack in history, with a loss of 173,600 ETH and 25.5 million USDC, worth more than $622 million at the time.
The leading cause of the problem mainly stemmed from the project's lax verification and security. On March 23, four Sky Mavis Ronin nodes and Axie DAO Ronin nodes were compromised, resulting in the entire amount being stolen via just two transactions. At that time, on Ronin, there were 9 active nodes; to proceed with depositing or withdrawing only needed the approval of 5/9 nodes, which is what the hacker did to attack.
The incident was only discovered on March 29 when users reported that they could not withdraw money from the Ronin bridge. Axie Infinity immediately raised the deposit and withdrawal conditions to 8/9 nodes and contacted the security teams of many major exchanges to trace the cash flow.
Immediately after, the project started raising $150 million to repair damages and compensate hack victims, and undertook audits by CertiK and Verichains before reopening the Ronin bridge with plans to improve the network’s operation.
What Is Axie Infinity:
Axie Infinity is a PlayAndEarn blockchain game where players breed, collect, and play with digital pets called Axies and earn from the interactions. It’s built on Ronin, an Ethereum-based side-chain developed by Vietnamese-based gaming studio Sky Mavis. The protocol put eyes on the PlayAndEarn gaming industry back in 2021. In addition, the team is building a digital nation where each community member comes together to play, earn, and live in Lunacia.

Algotech’s Game-changing $3.1M Presale Grabs Attention From Dogwifhat (WIF) As SUI Surges
Sui (SUI) price surges due to increasing user base and strategic collaborations. Dogiwifhat’s investors turned to Algotech after WIF faced speculations about further price drops.
After a correction phase in the broader crypto market, many coins are gaining momentum once again. Sui (SUI) has emerged as a stand-out choice for investors amid market recovery with its readily expanding user base and positive price trend.
In the meme coin space, Dogiwifhat (WIF), after leading the meme coin rally in the past week, is showing a downward trajectory. Due to WIF’s utter hype-oriented tokenomics, investors are speculating about its long-term viability and are shifting to projects with real-time utility in the Defi sector.
SUI shows strength after reaching 600k daily active accounts
Sui (SUI) is making notable strides in the crypto space with a massive surge in price momentum and trading volume. The project has made headlines, notably after the announcement of THORwallet’s integration with Sui for staking purposes. This collaboration streamlines staking, providing users with a simpler and more accessible way to enhance blockchain security and efficiency.
Sui recently achieved a major milestone, surpassing 600K daily active accounts. According to DeFiLama data, Sui's total value locked (TVL) has a favorable short-term trend. With the project's commitment to bringing new dApps online, there is potential for this price momentum to persist in the long run.
At present, the SUI token is valued at $2.1, indicating a notable surge of 13% on the intraday chart. The network is experiencing substantial investor activity, evident by a 140% surge in trading volume. With an optimistic outlook on the project, SUI is demonstrating the massive potential and is poised for significant gains in the upcoming weeks.
WIF whales shift focus after the price drops 4.5% in 24 hours
Dogifiwhat's (WIF) recent surge in the meme coin frenzy due to massive whale traffic has started to fade. The token flipped many meme coins in its recent rally to a $3B market cap just after months of launch, which proved to be a significant milestone for the meme coin. WIF price has dropped by 4% in a day, along with a declining market cap.
While some analysts indicate a positive comeback for the token, others predict a further decline in its price towards $2 by mid-April if the current trajectory persists. Amid these speculations, WIF investors are turning their attention to an emerging project currently in its presale phase, expected to yield 1200x returns once it launches on major exchanges.
Algotech (ALGT) grabs market by surge with its $3.1 million presale
Algotech (ALGT) has stolen the spotlight from meme coins like WIF as having more upside potential for massive gains. With a ground-breaking presale of $3.1 million in stage 2, Algotech stands out as the top choice for investors in the crypto sector.
The algorithmic trading platform of Algotech offers cutting-edge features like momentum trading, breakout detection, and arbitrage trading. Supporting over 10,000 trading pairs, the platform aims to empower traders with automated trading strategies and key market stats to capitalize on investments.
With over 75 million tokens sold in just three weeks to 9,000 unique holders, ALGT tokens are currently in hot demand. Investors are rushing to grab the tokens at $0.06 before they go up to $0.08 in the next round. Analysts predict that the token will reach $1 before it hits major exchanges, which makes this an ideal time for early investors to join Algotech.
