Blockchain Incredible Party
It's been a big week for Waves in Odessa, as Sasha and Bez joined a group of developers, entrepreneurs and corporate representatives at the Blockchain Incredible Party, on the shore of the Black Sea. Alongside a series of other speakers, Sasha presented the vision for the Waves Platform and some of the technical and practical applications, including:
Simplified payment verification for assets, storing only essential data to minimise bloat at high transaction volumes.
Trustless HFT: centralised order matching, executed on the blockchain – enabling the speed of traditional exchanges without the risk of storing funds with a centralised party.
User-defined network tokens – enabling transactions to be paid for in any agreed currency (e.g., transaction fees for USD transfers paid for in USD).
Naturally, they also stayed for the BIP001 after-party.

Mycelium Integration
There's some big news from one of our existing partners, Mycelium. As part of its relaunch, the popular wallet company will be integrating Waves at a far deeper level than previously stated. Users will be able not only to send and receive custom tokens through Mycelium, but to create them on the Waves platform. Waves tokens will be supported across the range of Mycelium's applications and devices, including the Mycelium Card – hardware wallets in the regular ISO ID1 size
