We began 2018 with a historic event - the launch of the first multi chain platform ever – Ardor. We started 2019 with another major breakthrough – the Ignis Lightweight Contracts which will be activated at block 543 000 (January 9, 2019). Stateless, flexible and secure - they represent a new generation of smart contracts designed to facilitate the use of blockchain technology for users, developers, cryptocurrency projects and businesses.

Jelurida is excited to announce the Ardor Online Hackathon 2018, running through Jan 10, 2019, calling developers anywhere to participate in three challenges to use lightweight contracts to automate business processes on the blockchain. The Ardor Learning Hub, a new resource publicly launched today, provides an extensive array of documentation and tutorials.

Jelurida introduced Ardor version 2.1.2, with revolutionary and easy-to-integrate Turing-complete Lightweight Contracts on testnet, and three new business-ready features on mainnet: Transaction Vouchers, Bundler templates, and a plug-in integrating Changelly's instant exchange.

Max Property Group has chosen Ardor over Ethereum and others for its global property platform expected to be operational in over 120 countries by the end of 2018.

xCubicle and Jelurida collaborate to provide Binance Decentralized Exchange in Binance 2018 DEX Challenge.

Jelurida, the development company of Ardor and Nxt blockchain platforms, continued to expand its international presence over the past week with team members attending four major blockchain events worldwide in Oxford, London, Monaco, and New York City.

The 4YFN Awards is the startup competition at the 4YFN conference, that takes place during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Jelurida was selected as a finalist out of 300 startups to apply and pitched four times in front a massive tech audience.

Jelurida and Ardorgate are excited to announce the official launch of AEUR, the Euro-pegged child chain of the Ardor Blockchain Platform.
