  • NULS was invited to attend the 2nd Global Graphene Blockchain Developer Conference

From July 6 to 7, 2019, NULS will be invited to participate in 2019 2nd Global Graphene Blockchain Developer Conference sponsored by Graphene Block Chain Application Center. Reaper, co-founder of NULS, will attend the conference and share the achievements and progress of NULS in the field of chain-building and cross-chain.

  • The NULS community continues to vote on the proposal to fix the NULS maximum supply at 210 Million.

NULS’s economic model initially issues a total of 100 million, and less than 5 million block awards will be generated in a fixed manner and on an annual basis as incentives for network maintenance nodes and staking participation. Berzeck, a member of NULS CCC member & NULS Council, initiated the proposal of diminishing block incentives, which will reduce the block inflation incentives to 0 in 2104. By then, the POS mining of NULS will complete the output in 2104, reaching NULS’s maximum total cap of 210 million tokens. The vote on the proposal will end on July 10, and the current approval rate is 97.89%.
