Meet @thicastroneves, Moonbeam's business development lead in Brazil. 🇧🇷
From ambassador to business development lead, Thiago’s journey impact as been significant to the Moonbeam ecosystem!
Thiago has been a stalwart of the Moonbeam ecosystem since its inception. Starting out as an ambassador, he took charge of the protocol's YouTube channel, where he interviewed various key figures within the community. His dedication and knack for storytelling soon led to a promotion, where he took the reins as the head of ambassadors. It was Thiago who saw the untapped potential in Brazil and convinced the Moonbeam core team to start building and focusing on the Portuguese-speaking population.
Brazil, a nation of over 217 million, is a hub of opportunity and innovation.
Every morning starts with a visit to a cool coffee shop nearby. Then, it’s off to meet innovators like Carbify, talking about their green NFTs over a cold beer.
Thiago’s connection to Rio is organic and unmistakable. He might start and end his day on Zoom calls with grantees and potential partners, but his dedication to building Moonbeam’s Brazil pillar is organic and driven by his passion for builders. On a typical day, Thiago begins with a strong cup of Portuguese coffee at his favorite local café, a routine that grounds him in the rhythm of the city.
Taking calls amongst Rio’s lush parks and beachfronts, Thiago is always connecting the dots.
Right in front of the beach, there are 'futevolei' classes—like volleyball, but without using your hands—that he plans to start next month. Also, this route is where he drops his daughter off at her school, which is located atop the mountain crowned by the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue.
Thiago’s story is a call to action. Brazil is ready for blockchain transformation! Stay tuned this week to learn more about Moonbeam’s Brazil partners and activations.
We’re excited to announce the successful implementation of asynchronous backing on the Moonbeam Network, which has effectively reduced block times to 6️⃣ seconds!
→ Faster Block Times on Moonbeam Network → Enhanced Throughput Capacity → New Opportunities
This upgrade significantly boosts Moonbeam’s throughput capacity, allowing the network to handle even more on-chain activity, ensuring a smoother and more efficient experience for all users and developers.
✨ Key Highlights ✨
⏱️ 6-Second Block Times: Transactions are confirmed faster, enhancing the user experience.
✦ With asynchronous backing, Moonbeam’s throughput has doubled.
✦ The reduction in block time from 12 seconds to 6 seconds means more transactions can be processed in a shorter amount of time, making our network more robust and capable of handling higher traffic volumes.
🧑💻 Improved User and Developer Experience: More efficient block production and transaction validation lead to smoother operations and new opportunities for dApp development.
✦ This improved responsiveness unlocks new use cases that require faster confirmation times, such as payments and trading.
✦ Developers can now create applications needing rapid transaction finality, opening the door for innovative decentralized applications (dApps) that were previously limited by longer block times.
This upgrade marks a significant milestone in our journey towards making Moonbeam a more powerful and versatile network for all its users.
