The IoTeX ecosystem strikes again in its quest to bring DePIN to everyone! Switch Electric and Drop Wireless, long-term members of the IoTeX ecosystem, are partnering up to support Switch Electric's sustainable and decentralized energy initiative by establishing LoRaWAN coverage in underserved regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. Switch Electric will leverage Drop Wireless LoRaWAN infrastructure to verify network coverage for smart meters using the token-incentivized M3tering protocol. The program, starting in five prominent Nigerian cities, including Lagos, with plans to expand into Uganda and Kenya, aims to enhance renewable energy sharing across multiple countries in the global south.

Accurate meteorological intelligence is crucial in Africa as the continent is (increasingly) exposed to the effects of climate change and variability. In the context of this article, meteorological intelligence is a collective term for weather and climate intelligence.

The Monaco Protocol is a decentralized betting engine restructuring the approach to betting in the global ecosystem. When I was a kid, we usually had this game we always played: the pen game. So, the idea was that at the end of the game, every eliminated player would pay 5 NGN to the champion.

Poor access to electricity in Sub-Saharan Africa has limited the growth and economic development of countries in this region and has drastically reduced the quality of living. We see companies exiting these countries every day due to the increasing operational costs, the bulk of which goes to providing reliable electricity to run the company. Mortality rates in hospitals keep increasing with each passing day due to the unavailability of a reliable electricity supply to operate critical medical equipment necessary to mitigate health emergency risks. The primary aim of the M3tering protocol is to eradicate these troubling issues by increasing access to reliable and affordable electricity in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this article we will discuss the M3tering protocol extensively and its approach towards eradicating energy inaccessibility in Africa.

EIP-4844 also known as proto-danksharding marks a pivotal development in the evolution of Ethereum's scaling solutions. In line with Ethereum's goal of executing at least 100,000 transactions per second (TPS) through rollups, this proposal focuses on enhancing the capabilities of rollups. It carries significant implications for the overall scalability and efficiency of the Ethereum network. In this article, we'll delve into the key aspects of EIP-4844 and explore its stands on improving Ethereum's scalability through rollups.

On December 30th, 2023, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, shared a late gift from Santa with the Ethereum community and the world at large: the updated Ethereum roadmap for 2024.
