Ethereum Classic Labs Core development team has been diligently working to provide the community with hot project releases and infrastructure. Most importantly, the Atlantis fork is under-way and on schedule.

Second-Quarter 2019 Achievements

Client Team

Our team has proposed and championed the Ethereum Classic Atlantis hard fork described in ECIP-1054. Participating stakeholders in the community agreed on the official schedule on June 20, 2019. The schedule is as described below:

Block 716,617 ~ Jun 19 on Kotti Classic PoA-testnet Block 4,729,274 ~ Jul 29 on Morden Classic PoW-testnet Block 8,772,000 ~ Sept. 17 ETC PoW-mainnet

ECIP-1054 is accepted and the Atlantis hard fork schedule is finally set.

Thanks to the collaboration of Ethereum Classic Labs and Chainsafe Systems, Classic-Geth is prepared for Atlantis. Classic-Geth has ~62% market share as of today, so it is important to provide a sufficient Classic-Geth client to the community.

Classic-Geth v6.0.6-beta is released. Classic-Geth version 6.0.6-beta or later is mandatory for Classic-Geth users in preparation for the Atlantis hard fork scheduled for mid-September.

We’ve made landmark progress for Multi-Geth. As of release v1.9.0 , Multi-Geth is no longer a near-direct echo of upstream branches and Multi-Geth now supports OpenRPC’s Service Discovery rpc.discover method.

Tooling Team

Pristine

Pristine is a starting point, it follows a Documentation Driven Development approach, and can be used as a resource to augment existing documentation.

Pristine-CLI released. A CLI to make it super easy to select a Pristine Github template to start from.

Pristine-typescript-openrpc-server released. This pristine OpenRPC starting point auto generates clients to interact with this server when released via semantic-release.

Pristine-typescript-electron-menubar released. This is a starting place (template) for an electron menubar application based on typescript and pristine.

Jade Suite

The goal of Jade is to enable the creation of decentralized, peer to peer applications built for Ethereum Classic.

OpenRPC

The OpenRPC Specification defines a standard, programming language-agnostic interface description for JSON-RPC 2.0 APIs.

$ open-rpc-typings --help

Usage: cli [options] Options:

-v, --version output the version number

-d, --document [openrpcDocument] JSON string or a Path/Url pointing to an open rpc schema (default: "./openrpc.json")

--output-rs [directory] output dir of rust typings

--output-ts [directory] output dir of typescript typings

--output-go [directory] output dir of go typings

--name-rs [file] File name of rust typings (default: "./index")

--name-ts [file] File name of typescript typings (default: "./index")

--name-go [file] File name of go typings (default: "./index")

-h, --help output usage information

Improvements to Playground UI, performance, and stability. The OpenRPC Playground is a place to play around with writing your own OpenRPC.

Documentation

We’ve released a few high-level community resources that will undergo continued growth to support developers and the open-source technologies we contribute to.

Forward Quarterly Goals
