Waterfall Mainnet Goes Live with 2,048 Active Validators, $WATER listed on Gate.io with more to come!

Waterfall
Network, the
most
innovative
layer
one (L1) decentralized
and
scalable
ledger,
today
announced
that
its
mainnet
is
now
live
and
its
$WATER
token
is
now
listed
on Gate.io.
With
the
introduction
of
the
Waterfall
Network,
we
believe
that
the
community
will
now
have
an
invaluable
addition
to
build
dAPPs
that
can
be
transformative
to
the
certain
industry
by
potentially
bringing
principally
new
use
cases. 

More
exchanges
are
set
to
list
$WATER
after
Gate.io
in
the
coming
weeks
and
will
be
integrated
with
infrastructure
providers
globally.
As
validators
sign
on
the
Waterfall
Network,
grants
and
rewards
will
also
be
distributed
to
researchers
and
developers
who
assist
with
community-driven
security
auditing
activities,
such
as
completing
bug
bounties. 

“The
strength
of
the
Waterfall
Network
has
surpassed
even
our
most
optimistic
projections
during
testnet
development,”
said
Sergii
Grybniak,
Blue
Wave
CTO
and
Waterfall
Head
of
Research. “We
now
look
forward
to
ensuring
the
community
has
a
great
platform
to
build
and
grow
the
network.
Waterfall
Protocol
has
been
designed
to
reach
communities
as
nodes
can
be
run
on
any
low-powered
computing
device
as
well
as
on
Linux,
Mac,
Windows
and
in
the
future
on
phones”.
The
Waterfall
Network
protocol
has
been
tested
to
achieve
loads
of
 10,000
+
transactions
per
second.

Waterfall
testing
included
home-based
computers
and
laptops,
cloud
servers
provided
by
Google
Cloud,
Amazon
Web
Services,
Digital
Ocean
and
Hetzner.
Waterfall
is
also
integrated
with
the
following
staking
infrastructure
providers:
 Piconbello
(https://www.piconbello.com/),
 GigaStake
(https://gigastake.net/waterfall-network/ ),
StarDustStaking( https://starduststaking.com)
and
Infstones(https://infstones.com/),
which
is
top-7
on
StakingRewards.com.
Waterfall
is
in
the
process
of
integrating
with
Web3
Infrastructure
Service
Provider
NebulaBlock
(https://www.nebulablock.com/)
and
peer-to-peer
cloud
infrastructure
provider
Edge
(https://edge.network/).
  

Waterfall’s
unique
protocol
incorporates
a
next
generation
“Directed
AcyclicGraph
(DAG)”
technology
that
allows
for
virtually
unlimited
scalability
and
portability
of
decentralized
applications
(dAPPs),

Testing
conducted
with
support
from
the
Google
Cloud
Web3
Startup
Program
has
shown
that
on
this
first
version
of
the
main
net
the
technology
is
capable
of
supporting
more
than
1.5
million
validators,
which
is
more
than
any
other
proof-of-stake
network,
including
Ethereum.

About
Waterfall

Waterfall
is
a
leading
layer
one
(L1)
architecture
aiming
to
provide
a
solution
for
security,
scalability
and
decentralization
to
help
dAPP
developers
change
the
world.
 Waterfall’s
Directed
Acyclic
Graph
(“DAG”)
achieves
and
allows
it
to
run
a
validator
node
from
any
device,
including
low-cost
laptops
and
mobile
phones
in
future.
Waterfall
is
Ethereum
Virtual
Machine
(EVM)
compatible,
allowing
for
portability
of
decentralized
applications
(dAPPs),
and
has
very
low
hardware
requirements
for
the
participants
to
become
validators.
