network: Crypto trends in Q3 2021 and most anticipated events in incoming weeks

Business Analyst /Blockchain Enthusiast

What events (othen than EIP 1559 and the ETH2.0) in crypto and blockchain space are most anticipated in your opinion?

The most anticipated technical upgrade of 2021 is the Taproot upgrade on Bitcoin Network. For a change, the Taproot proposal was approved by miners all over the world, unlike the segwit2x which led to a civil war among the bitcoin community. The major change of the proposal is the shift from ECDA based digital signature which is complex to Schnorr signatures. Schnorr Signature will not affect the individual transactions but in a multi-signature transaction, the parties can remain hidden. In other words, it offers greater privacy for multi-signature transactions. But the major potential that will set the bitcoin party on fire is the ability to add smart contracts as part of the Taproot upgrade. Long-time Bitcoiners believe that taproot upgrade along with the lightning network can give Ethereum and other smart contract networks to run for their money. Taproot upgrade is about to go live in November 2021. The other anticipated upgrade is the Granada upgrade on Tezos. Announced in June 2021, Granada will reduce the block time from 60 seconds to 30 seconds and gas cost by more than half. the development will be taken care by Nomadic Labs, along with Marigold, TQ, Tarides, and DaiLambda. With the above changes, Tezos will try to become the go-to platform for decentralized Apps.

What events (othen than EIP 1559 and the ETH2.0) in crypto and blockchain space are most anticipated in your opinion?

I think that the most important events in the next period will be crypto applications with established social networks, as well as those projects that make simple bridges, because one of the big obstacles in the crypto industry is communication between several types of blockchains. Several crypto projects are trying to solve this problem, but very promising is Cosmos, ambitious project that plans to "pull" all other blockchains to its platform. Cosmos calls itself the most adaptable, scalable, most powerful, and interoperable ecosystem of connected blockchains. It is a decentralized network of independent blockchains powered by Tendermint and other byzantine fault tolerance algorithms. If Cosmos succeeds in becoming an internet blockchain, it will take an extremely important and powerful position in the future development of blockchain technology. For now, the project seems to remain on track to do just that, and if community excitement is some yardstick, this could be a project that needs to be closely monitored in the coming months and years.

*El Salvador making bitcoin legal tender is the most fantastic news i have read so far. I am earnestly looking forward to several other countries adopting bitcoin on a national scale. *Bitcoins lighting network and what is promised will be a huge step in adoption of cryptocurrencies. *More hedge funds have been rumoured to get into investing in bitcoin this season, I look forward to that, more institutional buys will help curb volatility in my opinion.

What events (othen than EIP 1559 and the ETH2.0) in crypto and blockchain space are most anticipated in your opinion?

Personally Ill be watching how some of the new generation of blockchains e.g. Cosmos & Polkadot. Since I've started to become aware of how these newer gen blockchains actually work, it will progress the crypto world but I do wonder if these chains that offer inter chain trading as well as private blockchain networks all work as intended. I am hedging my bets since being affected by ERC20 tokens migrating to other networks such as Polkadot private blockchains and being totally unaware of the migration period and now have redundant ERC20 tokens I was hodl'ing but now are totally worthless. I personally will take a step back from actively trading, hodl'ing and using DeFi apps until I see signs that I wont see a repeat of my losses as well as seeing cross chain tolerance i.e. being able to easily use one blockchains token on another blockchains tokens network.

One other event in crypto and blockchain space is the Cardano’s Goguen era, which will provide the tools for the development of enterprise-level, decentralized Smart contract applications, competing directly with Ethereum at a lower price. Cardano's roadmap is Split into eras. Goguen comes after Byron era delivered Cardano (ADA) Daedelus wallet and Shelley, which delivered the full decentralized network with more than on thousand stake pools earlier this year. It has started October 29th, 2020. https://roadmap.cardano.org/en/goguen/
