3200 elrond nodes running worldwide, many of wide are privately funded, setup and managed, each of which works diligently to provide 6-second finality for trx completion, each of which provides world-class security, and each of which enabled all this through smart contracts, many of which further enabled more utility via another smart contract which enabled anyone anywhere to invest their EGLD to earn ~14-15% APR, distributed daily, again,... wait for it, by smart contract. AND, nicely enough, these features quickly evolve to meet surging demand and needs. Nice. Damn those SmartContracts!
