DATABASE ISSUES
Some Ethernity Users had issues with the platform due to our Google Cloud platform’s database crash. The database received over 100,000 requests per second, using 97% of its CPU capacity. Our Dev Team worked closely with Google, but our Dev Team reset the site and scaled up our server capacity. Luckily we were able to prevent users from wasting gas fees on useless transactions. We knew there would be technical hurdles given our first community drop on Open Sea which caused massive server issues — but this time it was not a fellow NFT platform, but rather the Google Cloud database. We continue to respond to these problems, and are in process of optimizing the site for upcoming launches.
ERN TOKENS LOCK-UP:
Out of the 17,857 ERN generated, 3732 will get locked up in our reserves smart contract for 2 years, which is 15% of the total sales. Originally we planned to lock up 75% of our revenue in our ERN reserves from NFT sales. However, given the website issues poised to users, we are removing 100% of profits and locking them into reserves — a further testament to our focus and appreciation of our community.
NONPROFIT DISTRIBUTION:
We at Ethernity have from our founding committed to distributing portions of all NFT sales to non-profit causes, and specifically:
Donating 5% of all sales to organizations working to offset carbon emissions 🌲
Today we are donating:
892.85 ERN — 5% to Global Wildlife Conservation (https://www.globalwildlife.org/)
