The Future of Unigrid

Unigrid will be switching our consensus method to utilize the Cosmos SDK. This will give the whole Cosmos ecosystem access to Unigrid!

The Future of Unigrid

Attention all Unigrid community members!

We are thrilled to announce some exciting news about the future of our project. Unigrid will be switching our consensus method to utilize the Cosmos SDK. This is a huge step forward for Unigrid, and we couldn't be more excited about its possibilities for our community.

This allows us to integrate communication with the IBC protocol, opening the Cosmos ecosystem to Unigrid. This means more collaboration opportunities, resources, and ways to connect with other projects and communities within the Cosmos ecosystem.

The Cosmos IBC protocol, also known as the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol, is a cutting-edge technology that enables cross-chain communication and interoperability between different blockchain networks. It allows different blockchain networks to communicate and transfer value with each other securely and efficiently.

By connecting to the Cosmos IBC protocol, Unigrid will be able to connect with other projects and communities within the Cosmos ecosystem, opening the doors to more collaboration opportunities, resources, and ways to connect. This will bring new possibilities for Unigrid and our community, such as:

  • Tapping into new markets: By connecting to the Cosmos IBC protocol, Unigrid will be able to reach new audiences and attract more users to our decentralized cloud drive storage.
  • More liquidity for our token: By connecting to other blockchain networks, Unigrid will be able to provide more liquidity and exposure for our token.
  • More collaboration opportunities: By connecting to the Cosmos IBC protocol, Unigrid will be able to collaborate with other projects and communities within the Cosmos ecosystem, which will bring new opportunities and resources.

We are beyond excited to reveal that our team is hard at work on a partnership that will bring tremendous value to the Unigrid network and provide significant exposure to our project. This partnership represents a huge step forward for Unigrid and will have a major impact on the future of our project and community.

Integrating with the Cosmos SDK ecosystem will provide Unigrid with access to cutting-edge technology and a thriving ecosystem of projects and communities. The Cosmos IBC protocol will allow Unigrid to securely and efficiently communicate and transfer value with other blockchain networks, opening up new opportunities for collaboration and growth.

We believe this integration and consensus change is a game-changer for Unigrid, and we are confident it will benefit our community significantly. We are committed to building a solid and sustainable decentralized ecosystem, and this partnership and update is a crucial step in that direction.

With this update, you will then be able to access your Unigrid tokens from MetaMask, or any Cosmos enabled wallet, providing more flexibility and convenience when managing your tokens. Additionally, this allows Unigrid to be listed on DEXes and create swaps to many other chains, increasing liquidity and exposure for our token. The new chain will make the process of swapping more seamless and efficient, provide more security for your tokens, and ensure that the process is transparent and auditable.


One of the most significant benefits of this update is that it frees up many resources on our end. Before this decision, we planned to rewrite our consensus in Java, which would have been time-consuming. Now that we are switching to the Cosmos SDK, we can focus on our end goal: bringing you a truly decentralized internet.

This move will allow us to develop new features and functionalities that will revolutionize how we interact with the internet. We will be able to put more resources into ensuring that your data is safe and secure and that you have control over your data.

Another benefit of this update is the thriving ecosystem in the Cosmos ecosystem. With over 400 dApps and growing, we are confident that this will only help Unigrid grow and flourish. This vibrant ecosystem offers more collaboration opportunities, resources, and ways to connect with other projects and communities. We will be able to tap into new markets, attract more users, and drive more adoption of our decentralized cloud drive storage.

And the best part is that the transition will be painless for current token holders. Your Janus wallet will seamlessly switch in an automated fashion. So you don't have to worry about anything.


On top of these changes, we are excited to announce that Unigrid will have an upcoming token sale to raise more capital to continue pushing forward. You can check out the Unigrid sale portal to stay up to date; we aim to start the sale in early April.

The funds raised will further develop our technology, expand our team, and improve our marketing efforts. We are confident that this token sale will benefit our community significantly, and we are honored to have you as a part of our journey. We look forward to building and growing together as we take this next step in our journey.


Gridnodes and Vallidators

Unigrid is taking a unique approach to consensus by integrating both gridnodes and validators into its network. This allows Unigrid to have two networks working together in harmony, providing a robust and secure platform for decentralized cloud storage.

Gridnodes, as their name suggests, serve as the backbone of the Unigrid network by providing the computing power and storage needed to support the decentralized cloud storage solution. Gridnodes are incentivized to participate in the network by being rewarded in UGD, the native token of the Unigrid network.

Validators, on the other hand, play a critical role in maintaining the security and integrity of the Unigrid network. They are responsible for verifying and validating transactions, and they ensure that the network operates according to its protocols.

The integration of both gridnodes and validators into the Unigrid network creates a powerful and well-balanced system for decentralized cloud storage. The gridnodes provide the computational power and storage needed to support the network, while the validators ensure that the network remains secure and operates according to its protocols.

Starting a gridnode on the Unigrid network is easy and accessible, with a starting stake of 2000 UGD. This provides a low barrier of entry for individuals and organizations to participate in the network and contribute to its growth and success. With the integration of gridnodes and validators, Unigrid is poised to become a leading player in the decentralized cloud storage space.


We want to take a moment to apologize for the delays in releasing our Hedgehog network. We understand that many of you have been eagerly awaiting the launch, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

As many of you know, we have worked diligently to bring our decentralized cloud drive storage to the next level. This required a lot of necessary changes and upgrades to our network, which took longer than expected. Additionally, there were some unforeseen complications that we had to work around, which further delayed the release.

We want to assure our community that we are doing everything in our power to ensure that the network is as secure and stable as possible before we release it. Your safety and security are our top priority, and we want to ensure that you have the best possible experience using our network.

We understand that delays can be frustrating, but we believe the result will be worth the wait. We are confident that the new and improved network will bring new opportunities and possibilities for our community, and we are excited to share it with you.

Stay tuned for more updates and information as we move forward with this exciting news.

Sincerely,

The Unigrid Team.
