We’ve just crossed the halfway mark of Contribution Period v0.1 for the district0x Network. There’s still one week to acquire district0x network tokens at https://contribution.district0x.io/. The period closes on August 1 at 3 p.m. UTC.

Development efforts have been focused on assuring that the contribution period goes smoothly and securely.

Contribution Period Smart Contract Deployment

In the wake of the security audits we mentioned in our July 11th Dev Update, we launched an open door Bug Bounty Program for the contribution period and token smart contracts.

Several minor issues surfaced and were dealt with, and we were able to successfully deploy both the district0x Crowdsale contract as well as the district0x Token contract on July 17, the day before the contribution period began. All contracts are ready to mint and distribute the contribution period pool of 600 million DNT at the close of the period.

Website updates

Countless changes have been made to all parts of the website leading up to the Contribution period. https://contribution.district0x.io/ in particular was built out to handle integrations with parity and metamask, as well as a few other changes to better spell out our terms.

In the transparency section of our white paper we stated our intention to launch a page dedicated to disclosures on any of our contractors or service providers, as well as keep up to date contact information for our core team members and any open positions. I’m happy to announce that https://district0x.io/team/ has been built and is now live.

Similarly, we also promised a transparency page where we would keep up-to-date disclosures on all funds moved or spent, wages paid, and roadmap progress, as well as links to the project github repositories. This has also been pushed live at https://district0x.io/transparency/. As we wrap up the contribution period, we will be making it a priority to load this page with as much detail as possible.

Transparency is a core value of our project. Keep an eye out for an upcoming blog post on the topic in the coming days.

The district0x Voting dApp

Late last week we introduced the district0x Voting dApp.

We’ve committed to launching 5 different districts based on the community’s suggestions after the completion of Name Bazaar and Meme Factory. Prior to Aragon Core’s launch on the MainNet, proposals will have to obtain a quorum through a qualification process outlined here.

The voting dApp was built in the vein of CarbonVote, and will allow all DNT holders to stake their tokens in order to signal which of the proposals that have reached quorum we will build next.

You can check it out for yourself at https://vote.district0x.io/, and it will be ready for use by all token holders as soon as DNT is distributed following the contribution period.

For more information on how this, check out the recent blog post on the voting dApp.

It’s been a busy two weeks here at district0x, and as the end of the contribution period comes into sight, all of us here are overwhelmed with excitement and hunger to start building what this community has imagined together. As always, thank you for the generosity and support!
