EINSTEINIUM FOUNDATION — MONTHLY UPDATE FOR MARCH 2022

To the Einsteinium community, 

Below is a brief overview of our actions over the past month of March 2022.  Our focus remains on the delivery of MIL, an evolved blockchain forked from EMC2. We have achieved a major step in the release of MIL which allows us to release a safe and effective product, currently EMC2, and in the near future MIL. Details of this progress are highlighted below.  We also ask and welcome the members of our community to contribute with mining power for the MIL network, as this is greatly appreciated while we incorporate new changes. Those interested should reach out to the Einsteinium Foundations team for more information.

Open call for an Einsteinium (EMC2) NFT project

We are looking for open collaboration on an NFT collection with members of the Einsteinium community. This collection should be designed to commemorate the Einsteinium team and projects that have been built and supported through Einsteinium’s technology. We are soliciting unique and visionary project ideas, interested parties should reach out to the Einsteinium Foundation at contact@emc2.foundation.

MIL/Komodo dPoW integration

We have achieved a major step in the release of MIL. Our recent blog post highlights this key innovative feature and shows where we are in our roadmap for release, and our next action items. Security on the blockchain is of fundamental importance. It allows us to release a safe and effective product, currently EMC2, and in the near future MIL. The actions taken by the Einsteinium and Komodo teams, to implement Komodo’s delayed Proof of Work (dPoW), solidifies the strength of the MIL network and directly drives our ability to promote widespread adoption and usage. The Einsteinium Foundation has been working with the Komodo team for years as a core technology and we want to continue our strong relationship

Additional details are highlighted in our recent blog post.

Einsteinium Fellowships

In 2018, the Einsteinium Foundation, a non-profit organization (NPO) and the world's first NPO to be backed by cryptocurrency, established our annual award program. We did this in order to offer grant money to directly support scientific research. We continue to balance our operations as a cryptocurrency and philanthropic organization. Therefore, on the anniversary of Einstein’s birthday, we announced that the Einsteinium Foundation will support the Einsteinium Fellowships, with details of this initiative described in our recent blog post. This marks a very special occasion for the Einsteinium Foundation as our organization's founding was inspired by Albert Einstein. For this program, there are no restrictions on the type of projects that are eligible but they must be scientific in nature and well-thought out. Additionally, eligible projects must follow a general ethos to push human knowledge forward, and strive to build us a better, safer and more stable future. In this regard, the fellowships support researchers across career stages including graduate, postgraduate, or professorships by offering funds to be utilized for the advancement of a scientific project. This year, we will be offering the Einsteinium Fellowships in the form of 10 fellowships to be awarded on a rolling basis throughout the year. Each fellow will be awarded 10,000 EMC2 in unrestricted funds. We encourage you to spread awareness of this initiative and if interested, to direct your application here.

Einsteinium Awards

We continue to balance our operations as both a cryptocurrency organization and a scientific philanthropic group. The Einsteinium Foundation continues to support scientific research through the use of our annual award program. Scientific research is a long-term investment in our future, and the future of our planet. The Einsteinium Foundation is proud to continue to announce an open call for applications for the Einsteinium Award. We are interested in supporting a broad range of scientific work. Therefore, applicants from an academic university or graduate studies program are always encouraged to apply. We constantly seek top-level research from students, postdocs, and professors from all over the world. In addition, we also look for citizen science projects which engage its members and empower people to careers within science. Owing to this, we also hope to support local STEM/STEAM education as this guarantees the next generation of scientific researchers and thought leaders.

Einsteinium, the coin, is available to trade on several top exchanges. We are excited by and fully support the recent community-driven activity to reach out to exchanges on our behalf. As a strong driving signal on the Foundation side and in order to reach a wider audience in the cryptocurrency community we are planning for additional exchange listings in the new year.
