After succesfully starting to use the mainnet, the team form Elrond is surprising us again with something spectacular. At least as spectacular as the video introduction is showing to us.
The name is Maiar.com. Looks like it will be a phone app, with a lot of capabilities. What do they plan for it? Appparently a lot. Let's go trough some of their features.
Wallet created instantly, using just the phone number. If you know some great conspiracy theories, this is awesome. A digital wallet will be linked to your phone number, allowing you to sent crypto/money to another phone mumbers from your list. Ok, this was done before. What is next?
Send money borderless, to anyone, instantly, with almost no fee (i presume the Elrond network will be used for this).
Progressive security - as you use the app more and the money/crypto deposited there will increase, more advanced layers of security will be triggered accordingly. Mixed reactions about this, as it is not explained in detail what that means. Left to be seen when the product is ready.
Herotags: some privacy gimmicks, these herotags are special usernames powered by the Elrond blockchain through a DNS service deployed on Elrond Network. To be used when you want to keep your phone private, i can only think at this as similar with the process of disabling the DNS look-up for a website. Maybe i am wrong. I do not know.
Multiple coins were promised, with interest earning and staking.
Not-custodial wallet. Owning your private keys, do i need to say more?
So, essentially they promised some of the best motives that i need to use a multicurrency wallet, even if this looks more like a light wallet, using probably a 24 words passphrase. A big issue will be related to the coins offered and the interest/reward rates. If they are good, and they choose popular coins/tokens, they can get a big slice of the pie. Atomic is slacking of lately, and their staking model is at least troublesome, especially for Atom/Tron and few more, with frequent errors.
Also, they have ERD, which they can use as native token, in the similar way with CRO (on Crypto.com, but they were a bit misleading lately with their promotions), so, if the staking rewards for ERD are 25% and more, as promised, probably i will sell all my CRO and move there. At the moment the Staking is marked as Coming soon on Elrond website, but their work shows potential. If i got you bored at this time, just go and search '241543903' on Google images. I can guarantee that you'll be laughing.
The name of the game is Maiar.com. Check their website to find more.
