- COVID-19 has had a devastating global impact. Travel and tourism industries have been particularly crippled by the virus, with no near term end in sight. Also concerning is the understanding that this will probably not be the last time that a global pandemic will affect all aspects of life for the world’s population. There is, or there should be, an internalization that if the world is to remain open, it needs to be prepared. Some kind of systematic solution is needed that will assist the global community to live through a pandemic without a mass closing of borders.

- Recently, Israel was shaken to the core from a heinous gang rape of a sixteen year old girl. As the investigation unfolds, reports of images and videos of the crime surface. Sadly, this type of crime and the documentation of it, occurs in every country. Survivors of sexual violence face even more emotional damage due to the existence of digital imagery of the crime that took place. Videos and photos are forwarded and posted on instant messaging and social media, and often cloud platforms are helpless (or choose not) to do anything to stop this.

- In the last 6 months, the entire Orbs team has been hard at work on Orbs V2 - “The Age of Guardians”. This was a huge undertaking from both a technology development and business perspective. This very substantial 2.0 release improves on almost every aspect of the project - from the Proof-of-Stake incentives model, to a tighter integration with Ethereum and a revamped core architecture. I’m very excited that V2 has recently entered a public beta phase where Guardians are already running the new codebase!

Several leading blockchain networks including Microsoft, Bitfury, JPMorgan’s Quorum, and Orbs were made available to participants by providing them with the tools and resources to build their proposed solutions. You can read more about Orbs’ experience with the event in the [afterthought blog post by Jonathan Levison](https://www.orbs.com/un-hackathon-afterthought/). The hackathon’s winning solution was eventually built on the Orbs Network. In an effort to learn lessons for the platform from a developer’s outsider perspective, I set out to question David Acton of the winning team Dynamic Digital Cooperatives about his experience building an app on the Orbs network.

On the other hand, there is the world we live in; the world where middlemen rule, known by most as simply 'the marketplace' (companies like eBay, Uber, Yelp), who are getting bigger and more efficient every day, deepening their control over our day to day life.

- Just like almost everyone in the blockchain space, I was very excited to learn about Facebook’s Libra blockchain and coin. Like many big moments in technology, the launch of Libra marks a step forward not because of unprecedented innovation, but rather because it takes a lot of advancements made in the field and makes use of them in what may become a mainstream product that touches the lives of billions of people. That said, I must add that the work behind Libra is nothing short of brilliant. Integrating so many state-of-the-art technologies into what seems to be 3 very intricate products, that can shortly be ready for large-scale deployment, is extremely complex. In such complex projects, fundamental errors are easy to make and may fail the entire endeavor. From what Libra published so far, I see a robust framework that appears very capable of succeeding at its very ambitious goals.

A core role of the Guardians is to review the Validators, monitor their operations and ensure proper network operation and security by approving Validators that follow the protocol correctly.

Blockchain can change that, and by doing so, it would enable us to finally gain control of our digital identity.

- The blockchain industry makes heavy use of buzzwords. Terms like "public" and "private" are thrown around but what do they actually mean? Is this the right way to define a blockchain? Does a private blockchain really exist? Maybe we should even take one step back and ask - what is a blockchain, actually?
PoS Under the Orbs Architecture

- Hey everyone! In recent weeks, we’ve been mulling heavily over different ways to extend Orbs to the public and create an open environment for discussion and collaboration about the project. For this, we have to nurture a productive community of all participants in the Orbs Universe - delegators, developers, guardians, and validators.

- Trying to unlock mainstream adoption for public blockchain is one of the hardest challenges in the industry today. Real businesses are yet to see the value in public blockchain technology and adoption crawls. I believe this is largely caused by the blockchain dichotomy: the polarization of infrastructure solutions in the industry today. If this indeed is the cause, we can design architectures around it. Will this be enough to make mainstream adoption possible?

- Israeli Networking Day (IND) is an annual event bringing together researchers and engineers from both academia and industry to discuss recent research activity in the field of networking. The 2018 IND, jointly [organized by Orbs and VMware](https://medium.com/orbs-network/3-presentations-that-defined-2018s-israeli-networking-day-ec27c6d9e941), was held on May 24th, and included 24 talks on recently published papers or ongoing works.
Orbs’ Unified Theory of Randomness: Explaining the Helix Consensus Algorithm
| Jul 17, 2018
- It is far from the first time, but gas prices on Ethereum skyrocketed again last week, this time as a result of a [silly marketing gimmick](https://www.coindesk.com/new-crypto-exchange-draws-fire-over-controversial-business-model/) most Ethereum users shouldn’t have cared about in the first place. Apparently, Vitalik Buterin and Vlad Zamfir have been looking into [alternative transaction pricing models](https://ethresear.ch/t/first-and-second-price-auctions-and-improved-transaction-fee-markets/2410) to mitigate such crises.

- In this post I want to discuss group signature schemes, and specifically group signatures with distributed traceability and show why this is an interesting cryptographic tool for distributed systems, using the Helix consensus protocol as an example to how these signatures can be used.

- Kik’s announcements yesterday ([here](https://medium.com/kinfoundation/kin-blockchain-taking-fate-into-our-own-hands-f5bdfa759502) and [here](https://www.coindesk.com/chain-mobile-app-kik-fork-stellar-fee-free-blockchain/), for example) to fork the Stellar blockchain and develop a “fee-free blockchain” of their own invoked the question — is this even possible? Does it make sense? Can a fee-free blockchain be kept secure? What about spam?
Are fee-free blockchains possible?

- I’ve written about [consensus models](https://medium.com/p/c5fe1c24ef0c) in a general sense before. There, I briefly mentioned that I don’t believe consumers will be in the game of _permissionless decentralization_ even when consumer apps are. Here, I will try to elaborate on that.

Blockchain and Decentralized Consensus
| Apr 30, 2018
- When I’m discussing blockchain technology with people, I too often hear people ask, “Is it proof-of-stake or is it proof-of-work?” And in 99% of the times, the answer would be “neither.”
