Komodo Is Set To Release The Antara Framework On July 15!
Komodo is excited to announce the release of the Antara Framework on July 15, 2019. The Antara Framework includes the creation of customizable Smart Chains, each with a built-in library of powerful modules and an integration layer that allows developers to build blockchain-based applications in any programming language.
This summer, Komodo is also releasing two brand-new, cutting-edge products: a fully decentralized, mobile ready atomic swap DEX and an automated blockchain generator web application that will be hosted on AWS Marketplace.

Permissionless Innovation: The Foundation For A Thriving Blockchain Ecosystem
With the multi-chain architecture that Komodo pioneered on the rise, many platforms are now starting to offer independent blockchains. However, many of these platforms are not truly open-- they force third-party projects to use the platform's coin for security and interoperability features. They also lock projects into the platform, making it impossible for those projects to exist outside of that particular ecosystem.
Komodo is the industry's only truly open platform. Learn more about Komodo's open platform model and how it allows permissionless innovation within the Komodo ecosystem in this extended blog post.
Sovereign and Independent Blockchains on Komodo
Just as most multi-chain platforms are not truly open, most new multi-chain platforms do not offer truly sovereign blockchains. In many cases, the blockchains offered are "side chains" or "child chains," which are ultimately tethered to the platform's main blockchain. This dependence is built-in by design so that the platform's blockchain and its native currency can benefit.
However, these benefits to the platform often limit the success of third-party projects. In order for a blockchain-based business to flourish, they need complete sovereignty and independence. Komodo offers this degree of sovereignty and never forces third-party projects to rely on Komodo's platform, blockchain, or coin.
Read this blog post to learn more about what it really means to launch a sovereign and independent blockchain with Komodo's technology.

Atomic Labs Lead Dev Luke Childs Creates A Way To Claim Rewards For KMD Stored On A Ledger Device
Atomic Labs Lead Developer Luke Childs recently developed an application that allows users with KMD stored on a Ledger device to securely claim their rewards.
To make this app more widely available, the Atomic Labs team made it completely free! Atomic Labs does not take a cut of your KMD rewards-- you keep all the rewards that you've accumulated.
"You have @hyperDEX (Pondsea) mainly to thank for this. He funded me to develop it out of his own pocket and was hoping to make his money back with the fees. He's nowhere near breaking even but has decided to remove the fees for the benefit of the community."
-- Atomic Labs Lead Developer Luke Childs

Verus Coin Is Now Listed For Trading On Graviex
This week, Verus Coin was listed for trading on Graviex.net! VRSC has trading pairs with BTC and KMD.
It's important to note that the Pirate Chain team helped provide the funding for this listing as a sign of appreciation for Verus Coin helping the Komodo ecosystem after a vulnerability was discovered in Komodo's version of Agama wallet last week. "Thanks to a generous donation and expression of support and as a thank you to the Verus Community for its help and wallet support during the recent hack, @FishyGuts & @mrlynch, our friends at Pirate ($ARRR), covered most all of the listing fee and handled all listing and integration discussions on the Verus Community's behalf...! Graviex.net has been around for a couple years, has a good reputation, does similar volume to Digital Price, IS ON CMC and, according to our friends at Pirate, has provided great support and have executed a seamless on-boarding. Thanks to our friends at Pirate!!" — Verus Coin Lead Developer Mike Toutonghi Check out the Verus Coin website and follow Verus Coin on Twitter to learn more about this innovative project.

Tech Tuesday Update
This week's edition of Tech Tuesday covers how to distribute a small amount of free coins via Komodo's Antara Framework.
Mylo begins the article by explaining why a blockchain project's team might want to provide a small amount of free coins to users in the first place. That's followed by an in-depth guide on how exactly this can be accomplished with Komodo's technology.
There are essentially two different approaches: using a rewards system that gives a small return to users who are willing to lock their coins way for a set period of time, or using an automated crypto faucet with spam prevention and maximum coin draw limits.
As with most desirable blockchain features and capabilities, Komodo's technology makes both of these options simple.
