HomeCoinIntroducing HOM,HMY & HMQ The First Mortgage-Backed Stablecoins on the XRP Ledger
RWA Protocol is announcing the launch of $HOME, the first mortgage-backed stablecoin on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Built on the RWA protocol, $HOME enables individuals and institutions worldwide to access the stability and cash flows provided by U.S. mortgages. This innovative integration of blockchain technology and the mortgage market opens up new possibilities for homeowners and investors alike. In this blog post, we will delve into the significance of $HOME and its potential to revolutionize ...
HomeCoinIntroducing the BaconCoin token, BACON
The BaconCoin token, BACON, is now live! After lots of input from the community over the last few months and work by the team, we’ve reached a major step along the way towards our mission. We’re all working together to make it easier for people to buy homes and get access to the same mortgages banks and governments use to preserve and grow their wealth. This is also huge step to even more decentralization for the Bacon Protocol. We’re excited to finally have the early adopters and the growing...
HomeCoinNFT Utility and DeFi Composability
A New Era for NFT Utility and DeFi ComposabilityMove over. There's a new cook in the kitchen and he’s bringing the $BACON. One of the most powerful features of Web3 is composability. To boil a huge concept down into a brief summary, “composability” describes the innate ability of open-source blockchain technology to be permissionless-ly built on top of by other projects and developers. This unlocks unprecedented innovation, creating global network effects that have (and will continue to)...

As you may have seen lots has been cooking in the Bacon Protocol the last few weeks! The team and the community are running fast together to move the protocol forward.
Today, we’re releasing a significant update to the protocol that increases security, improves usability, and reduces gas fees. We’re also announcing the completion of the recent security audit.
Along with that, here are a few of the biggest news to catch up on from April:
Lots of activity in the core protocol: 9 new homes. $391,000 borrowed. $5.8M in home value added.
$BACON got listed on both CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap so the coin icon and value now show up in most apps and wallets.
LP rewards were officially announced and how-to guides were posted for SushiSwap and Uniswap.
The marketing team wrote and published deep dives about the protocol, the Automated Market Maker, Loan Originators. More coming!
$BACON from the first coordinape epoch was distributed to the community. The next vote is coming this week on the BaconCoin Snapshot.
A lot of work by our mods and community to have some fun discussions in Discord and Telegram.
Bi-weekly live community calls with the team on Discord. Our next one is just three days away on May 5th at 8am Pacific Time.
Three big updates to the protocol were released today along with a number of small adjustments.
The BlockSec team has been digging deep into the smart contract code and working with the team to increase security across the board. They came highly recommended and have advanced tools and techniques that we were highly impressed by. You can find the new audit here.
The audit identified a handful of risks in the current contract implementation that have been fixed or mitigated. Most of the findings were small and fixing them helped shore up the depth of the protocol’s defense.
Two of the risks were classified as High severity. Neither of those risks could have been exploited at any point because of other measures in place. They have also been fixed in the contracts and released as an extra precaution.
As part of the audit fixes and as described previously, both $BACON and $BHOME have been changed from ERC-777 tokens to ERC-20 tokens. The ERC-777 standard can have advantages and makes it harder to accidentally lock tokens up by sending them to the wrong place.
Despite those advantages, ERC-777 support across the ecosystem has lagged and the increased risk of reentrancy bugs made it clear that ERC-20 is still the best option. This was a small change to the contracts and shouldn’t affect day-to-day usage of either token. It will increase security and open up many more possibilities for integration with other projects.
High gas fees to buy and sell bHOME and claim BACON have been on our radar and a consistent problem raised by the community. Our first design for the bHOME staking and BACON rewards system was meant to make it easier-to-use and more precise than other protocols we saw.
We knew there was a chance it would have higher gas fees, but our estimates predicted a small increase, not the large fees that we’re seeing. Part of this is because the protocol was so popular -- more transactions meant higher gas for staking. The worst part is that this punished the protocol’s most fervent supporters that wanted to stake more and more bHOME.
The past month, we’ve become experts on the gas system and had a new systems architect join the team that went through the contracts and transactions to find the problems. So far, he was able to bring gas costs down by 50%, which is a huge improvement! But, not good enough, knowing how fast the protocol is growing. We’re now deep in a new approach that will grow with the protocol.
So, today, we’ve paused the connection between BACON claiming and bHOME buying and selling. This will make gas costs for bHOME transactions only a bit more expensive than a token transfer.
This does mean BACON claiming will not be available for the next two weeks while we finish reworking that part of the contract. Don’t worry, you will still be earning rewards that will be available to claim on-chain again shortly, but with much lower gas fees.
