Elrond network upgrade and Utrust performance
Elrond is a leading blockchain project that was among the first ones to adapt the adaptive sharding technology. This is an approach that takes into account the three types of sharding like state, transactions, and network. By so doing, shards are able to communicate with each other and increase the overall throughput.
Elrond also uses other technologies to boost its speed and security. For example, it uses secure proof-of-stake technology that eliminates the computational waste of proof-of-work. It also has the Elrond Virtual Machin that expands the different types of smart contract languages that developers can use.
Elrond price is rising as investors cheer the recent mainnet upgrade that introduced a feature de-sync for NFTs and Elrond Standard Digital Tokens (ESDT). ESDT simply allows developers to launch their own tokens similar to ERC 20.

Meanwhile, EGLD price rose as UTK price went parabolic. The token, which is the native one for Utrust rose by more than 22% in the past 24 hours. Utrust is a fintech company that Elrond acquired earlier this year.
Utrust makes it possible for people to pay at most locations using cryptocurrencies. It has partnered with thousands of merchants who accept these coins.
