Tezos (XTZ)

News This Week: Tezos Domains Launch, Tezos Domains will be available to everyone from April 21st.

Why To Follow: Tezos Domains is a project similar to Ethereum Name Service. People will be able to match their Tezos addresses with a domain name through the auctions here. When a transaction is to be made, a name such as “blockchain.tez” can be used instead of the wallet address that seems complicated. This is expected to provide convenience to many people who deal with Tezos in general, especially for decentralized application (dApp) users.

Avalanche (AVAX) and TrustSwap (SWAP)

News This Week: Avalanche (AVAX) & Trust Swap (SWAP) have joined forces to bring the first-ever Launchpad to Avalanche.
