Last Wednesday, Monero has introduced a brand new second-layer protocol that is being developed, called Tari.

United Nations Agency Partner (UNOPS) and the cryptocurrency startup IOTA have announced a partnership that aims to help UNOPS benefit from IOTA's blockchain and Tangle technologies to improve processes and eliminate the need of middle-men. Yoshiyuki Yamamoto, UNOPS Special Advisor on Blockchain Technology, said:
“We share a vision where machines, devices, sensors and people connect and communicate to each other — it’s the world of ‘Industry 4.0.’ Harnessing technology that allows for these processes to work simultaneously, without the need for intermediaries, will help expedite our mission as an organization.”
Uphold Completes Ripple Ledger Integration
Yesterday, mobile payments startup Uphold stated it had completed integrating the Ripple ledger to its platform. With this enhancement, Uphold clients can now deposit, withdraw and send Ripple through the app. The Uphold Chief Revenue Officer, Robin O'Connell stated:
"Expanding our offering to include full connectivity to the XRP ledger was the clear next step. This space is becoming crowded with new wallets popping up, offering access to cryptos, but, if you read the fine print, they're not selling the actual cryptocurrency and arguably having a negative impact on the market.”
