Title: Introducing Waterfall Node Desktop App
Post by: Waterfall Protocol on April 03, 2024, 05:01:50 PM
We are excited to announce the launch of the Waterfall Node Desktop App this week!
That will make it easy for you download the app to set up a full node and start using WATER. 

Supporting the Waterfall network will be easier than ever. You don't need to be a technical expert to leverage this user-friendly application. You only need open the app and link your Metamask (or any EVM) wallet to run a full node – no additional installation required!

In addition, we have enhanced the efficiency of our system resource consumption via our native Node application, whose performance has been improved by over three times on macOS.

Here's what you can do with the Waterfall Node Desktop App:
📌Launch a full node and sync with the Waterfall network 
📌Manage Workers by creating or removing them
📌Activate your node to receive stake benefits and rewards
📌View the network status and connected peers
📌Check your balances
📌Use an external SSD drive as a data storage device
📌Customize your node settings

On the launch day we will make an announcement on our social networks, stay tuned!

ℹ️ ANN topic should contain link to the web site of a project. Please add that information.

Q.10 - Does the project have a website & team?

I was exactly going to say the same thing, it's actually a very bad practice and puts interest potential users in a potential danger of being scammed when a user or company announces their service on forum like this without including any links, users who are interested in that service may go searching the internet for the service's website and so on, only to end up in a clone site, which will not only steal personal information of the user, but may also steal their funds as well.

I hope op comes around to include link to their official website so that users interested in this can find out more about what the waterfall project actually is all about.

If they don't, the topic will be closed or deleted. The rules of the section are rather simple, but they should be followed.

Waterfall is the most decentralized BlockDAG protocol currently available 🚀 

🔑 Key Features:

📌 This decentralized platform has the potential to attract much more validators than other protocols.
📌 Minimal hardware requirements: Dual-Core CPU, 4GB RAM (your cellphone has 2-4 times more than that).
📌 High performance and scalability, thanks to parallelism in BlockDAG compared or even higher potentially that the most scalable currently popular protocols 
📌 Compatible with EVM and Ethereum API.

The team includes senior people who were successfully building the ecosystem for Ethereum and those who were successfully competing against it:

Ron Resnick is the CEO of the company-developer of Waterfall, is also a former Executive Director of Enterprise Ethereum Alliance and a former Investment Director of Intel Capital.

Jeff McDonald is the Director at the Board of Directors for Swiss Association, is also a Former Co-Founder of Nem, which used to be in Top-5 and for a short time in Top-3 right after Ethereum.

The Chairman of Board of Swiss Association is Richard Wang, who is also General Partner at Draper Dragon Fund.

R&D team has been rigorously testing technology since 2021.

More than 350 Workers(block producers) on the TestNet are owned by the developers and future users of Waterfall.
