February was no anomaly for the Insolar team as the launch of Insolar MainNet took place. The first version of MainNet allows the Insolar community to migrate their INS holding to Insolar native coin: XNS. The coin will hold vital importance for the future of the platform and will be used not only in value transfer for dApps, but also for network governance and staking. If you haven’t yet swapped your INS holdings to XNS and would like to learn how it is done, read on below to find the simple guide to swapping.

Moreover, Insolar announced a partnership with Boston University, whereby we will be considered in a course about the creation of platform ecosystems. Moreover, we announced a bug bounty for our software with HackerOne following the successful testing of our products by leading cybersec firm, Kaspersky.

Following two years of extensive research and technology development, which made it the #1 most active blockchain project worldwide, and the release of a record-breaking TestNet deployment, enterprise blockchain firm Insolar is pleased to announce the commercial launch of its MainNet on February 3, 2020.

In parallel with the release of its MainNet, Insolar is launching a bug bounty program with a leading application security testing platform, HackerOne. Insolar places great importance on the security of its solutions and so is enlisting the security research community to help uncover any hidden vulnerabilities across its products.

Insolar Assured Ledger Platform, has successfully undergone an application security assessment by world-leading cyber security firm, Kaspersky. The platform is a distributed ledger technology (DLT) solution, which powers trusted data exchange between enterprises, ensuring data consistency, transparency and security. The assessment took place in preparation for the launch of Insolar MainNet, Insolar’s public network, at the end of January 2020.

Insolar recently established a collaboration with Boston University Questrom School of Business to be included as the subject of a case study to assess Insolar’s platform ecosystem. The Insolar case study will be part of a course led by innovation scholar Geoffrey Parker and professor Marshall Van Alstyne, who together co-developed the theory of two-sided markets and co-authored “Platform Revolution: How Networked Markets Are Transforming the Economy — and How to Make Them Work for You”.
