This week we made steady progress on our Clove, Cilantro, and Seneca functionality. Progress is picking up with our new developers, and we have also begun onboarding additional trial-devs. We are excited to share them with you when we launch our new website in the coming weeks. Here’s what we’ve been doing:

Clove Development Updates

Published our first bitcoin script to the test net

Implemented refunding

Compiled a list of 339 supported Bitcoin-based coins and 477 other tokens that will be supported in the future

Cilantro Development Updates

Made good progress developing the network architecture to piece together the Masternodes, Witnesses, and delegates.

Enabled Masternodes to validate REST requests and publish them to the witnesses.

Worked on abstracting out much of the publisher/subscriber networking logic into a separate module to facilitate more efficient and robust development of networking components.

Enabled delegates to send standard transactions through a basic interpreter, which can parse the transactions into state changes on a Redis DB

Implemented preliminary logic for atomic swaps

Seneca Development Updates

Defined a spec for the Seneca smart contact language

Authored an example crypto currency smart contract in Seneca

Started work on the Seneca module/import system

Started defining the Seneca language standard library API

What’s Next?

In the coming week, we look forward to continuing work on Seneca’s module/import system, and building out the standard library API. For Cilantro, we will focus on implementing the consensus algorithms on the delegates, and adding cold storage on Masternode to persist the block chain. Once we have these pieces done, we’re optimistic we can set up a basic demo where users can send POST requests to Masternode, which then get sent through our pipeline, grouped into a block, ultimately added to the block chain. In addition, we will put together documentation to allow outside devs to more easily add cryptocurrencies to the Clove protocol.
