An under-the-radar altcoin is surging as Bitcoin and most of the crypto markets move sideways.<\/p>\n

The smart contract blockchain platform Waves<\/a> (WAVES) is trading at $25.27 at time of writing, up more than 37% from where it was priced one week ago.<\/p>\n

Zooming out, the 51st-ranked crypto asset by market cap is up more than 117% in the past month, after retracing from a Wednesday high of $30.34.<\/p>\n

Waves allows users to create, launch and trade their own crypto tokens. The platform also gives developers access to several ready-to-use tools and products, empowering them to make new tokens as well as build decentralized applications. Waves\u2019 current total value locked stands around $2 billion.<\/p>\n

Last month, the network announced<\/a> the transition to Waves 2.0, which involves implementing<\/a> the new version of Waves Consensus based on Practical Proof-of-Stake Sharding.<\/p>\n

Explains Waves,<\/p>\n

\u201cThe development of our highly scalable and [Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible] network will start this spring. The new network will be connected to the existing one for a smoother transition to Waves 2.0 without depreciating the old network\u2019s value or efficacy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Waves Labs, the blockchain technology company behind the project, also plans<\/a> to launch a $150 million fund and an incubation program to support US-based development teams building projects on the network.<\/p>\n
