adChain Decentralized Server (aDS)

API:

Development of aDS API is going rather quickly. We have a few endpoints up and running and will be integrating them on the client side this week. Over the next few weeks we will be focusing on billing and payments endpoints.

Bidder/Ad Server:

Our bidders and ad servers are currently built on a custom version of Rocket, a Rust web server framework. We’re working on getting our changes (which add support for mutual TLS connections) merged into the mainline Rocket repo (https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/pull/657).

Payments:

Made significant progress cleaning up and de-hacking EVM code for Delphi, which we will use in adChain to facilitate payments (https://github.com/Bounties-Network/Delphi/pull/70).

Client-side Development:

Continued building out our Alpha (Prototype 0) of the adChain Advertiser Portal

Campaigns page where users can view all the campaigns associated with their account

Create Campaign page where users can create a new campaign and add publishers from the adChain registry into their own campaign whitelist

Login authentication is working and billing views are dynamic

Next in client development

Implementing the new adChain portal API into the Alpha

Integrating adChain Registry API to pull in all publishers from the registry

adChain Publisher Registry

We have outlined the necessary tasks within the adChain Registry repo to upgrade registry’s UI for a better curation experience.

Produced an action plan for supporting mutable listing data in the adChain advertiser’s registry (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NXn-BPfs7wr3zIQqAsvQk_VahAGu9M0f5DGw-jvjxKA/edit?usp=sharing).

Next enhancements:

Integrate new designs from wireframes pertaining to the Single Domain View. This will include more qualitative data for each domain, which adds a new layer of value to the whitelist.

Development will be heavily focused on aDS over the next few months.

adChain Registry API

The endpoints for retrieving history data for each domain are now functional. They will be integrated into the UI over the next few weeks. The report will show data pertaining to the domain’s apply, vote, and challenge history.
