Elrond maintained healthy levels of developer activity despite the market headwinds. That activity supported various developments that have taken place in the last few days. For example, the blockchain project recently announced that it achieved integration with Trust wallet. This means users can now transfer assets Elrond native assets to and from the Trust wallet, thus providing flexibility to users.
Furthermore, the last few also saw Elrond announcing that AnChain AI rolled out the next generation of AML analytic on its network. The development was described as a positive step for Elrond to achieve high standards for fraud prevention and compliance.
