Building with randomness in Web3 isn’t the easiest thing to do, as it typically requires off-chain solutions that just aren’t secure enough to ensure tamperproof results. But what if you could build with randomness on-chain? Right now, Secret VRF allows you to build with on-chain randomness on IBC networks like Secret, Juno, Stargaze, and just over the horizon, EVM networks like Ethereum. Decentralized, secure, easy to use, and free: Cross-chain interoperability is not just a vision of the future–it’s happening now, and Secret Network is leading the charge. Ready to learn more? Visit the link below, and start building. https://scrt.network/secret-vrf

@thenodefather posted in The API Proposal IV We’ve made a minor adjustment to remove 2 regular nodes and replace them with 2 LB nodes mentioned in the proposal, to ensure there is incentive on that portion of the infrastructure. We’ll also be working to get health checks between the LBs so in cases of failure of 1 of the 2 LBs, there is still no impact on users.

@SecretSaturn (h3rt) posted in Continuation Proposal for Fee Grant Faucet Maintenance (July-December) At the time of the proposal passing, the SCRT price was at $ 0.33. This means that the 5% volatility can be used in fully for additional funding of the fee grant treasury (see here: Fee Grant Treasury), meaning that 309 SCRT will go to the treasury.

@ertemann posted in Proposal for Implementing an on-chain Minimum Gas Fee of 0.5 uscrt Was reminded of this discussion so will drop my thoughts here. General view: fees exist for security reason but are ultimately a bigger impact on UX, these 2 topics should be weighed off in any fee discussion imo. Specific: 0.0125uscrt as a fee option has ridiculous scaling to the other options often used by validators (0.1 and 0.5) so to me the largest thing we can do to improve UX is actuall...

@supdoggie posted in Proposal for Implementing an on-chain Minimum Gas Fee of 0.5 uscrt I am generally opposed to raising gas fees. While it may somewhat deter spammers, it will make the network less competitive. If there are scaling issues, we should be address them at the network level, infrastructure, etc. Before making a decision though, I think it would be helpful if we’re able to gather and share specifics about the ‘spam’ tx incidents, i.e., how many validators missed how many...

@Jiricepelka (jiricepelka.𝕊crt/a³⚡🌊) posted in Signal Proposal: Burn Fee + Min Fee Param Addition I think after our conversation in the DMs we agree that the design as proposed is fine, but if we move forward there will have to be development of supporting solutions so that a good UX is maintained and at the same time applications don’t lose money on onboarding to the network. While burning fees will not be a major step in reducing inflation it can potentially be good marketing 😃

@thenodefather posted in Signal Proposal: Burn Fee + Min Fee Param Addition These fees already currently go to stakers / validators currently (even though in the text it says it goes to validators). Validators cannot censor transactions on tendermint chains AFAIK. This proposal suggests burning them instead. There is already inflation, I don’t know that people are convinced we need revenue from fees as well instead of simply burning them. This wasn’t requested or sugge...
