EU Parliamentary discussion

“The Blockchain and DLTs: A view from the European Parliament” was hosted in Brussels on 6th June at the European Parliament. Digix’s CTO Anthony Eufemio was present at the event and Digix’s CEO Kai Cheng Chng was invited to participate in a panel discussion regarding the future of Initial Coin Offerings (“ICO”) and the Distributed Ledger Technology (“DLT”).

The discussions undertaken during this event could have ripple effects to future European Union legislations and perspectives on virtual currency and blockchain. KC’s participation in this discussion is an attestation to Digix’s position on the global platform and we are thankful to have been given a chance to represent the community.

Tech Dev Progress:

We have added MetaMask and Trezor support on the Digix Marketplace, tests have been smooth and it will be deployed live on the Marketplace here by this coming Friday.

Addition of DAI/DGX and tiered Ether pricing for bulk purchases

We have successfully integrated our marketplace on Kovan testnet with DAI/DGX pair. This marketplace update even includes tiered pricing for purchasing with DAI or Ether. Multiple price feeds will be supported depending on the amount of DGX being purchased. We are ready to deploy these contract changes to the Mainnet, and you can expect an announcement regarding this soon.

Users buying higher amounts of DGX will now be able to get a better rate with respect to both Ether and DAI.
