What now?

Our sights are now set on the release of the Republic Protocol Mainnet, including the first dark pool to use the Republic Protocol Mainnet — RenEx.

Over the quarter we will continue to deploy updates to the Testnet. Our focus will be on security, bugs, and performance improvements. We will continue the roll-out of existing private features (such as Bitcoin trading, and the operation of Testnet Darknodes) to the general public, as well as the introduction of new features (such as midpoint orders, and fill-or-kill orders). These improvements and features will involve both RenEx and Republic Protocol itself.

Another major goal for this quarter is the publication of a technical specification that defines Republic Protocol, beyond the official reference implementation in Go. This will allow people to get a deeper technical understanding of the system without poring through code, and eventually build their own Darknodes. This will include API documentation for the support of automated trading.

As we continue to work on the Testnet, feedback and bug reports from everyone in our community will go a long way to improving Republic Protocol and RenEx. If you notice an issue, please report it:
