The District Weekly — January 26th, 2019

News and updates from the district0x Network

This past week on our Discord Monday chat we discussed if 2019 is truly the year for DAOs to become fully developed and utilized. Excellent use cases are provided in this post from Token Economy, however there are also many technical hurdles that need to be overcome before DAOs are ubiquitously adopted throughout the crypto space. One project that was discussed and may indeed succeed early on is the Moloch DAO, a grant-making DAO / Guild and radical experiment in voluntary incentive alignment to overcome the “tragedy of the commons”. Others are of course Aragon, which district0x intends to implement as a cornerstone of the district0x network’s governance capabilities. 2019 is certainly a critical year for the crypto space, and we couldn’t be more excited to continue charging full steam ahead. If you would like to get involved in our weekly Monday Discord discussions, hop on over to our Discord channel on Mondays at around 9am PT.

On Tuesday this past week, we released our bi-weekly Dev Update. For a quick synopsis: beta testing for Meme Factory is underway, along with continuous bug squashing for the recently deployed DANK faucet; contract size limitations have caused us to split up contracts for the District Registry and as we wrap this up we grow imminently closer to security audit time; and lastly we are actively building GraphQL resolvers (a query language for APIs) for the Ethlance network.

That’s about it this week, if you’re at Aracon keep an eye out for P.J. and have a wonderful week ahead!

District Roundup

On the last District Roundup we had the ‘News and New Proposals’ edition. This stream aimed to cover recent events and news in Ethereum and the district0x network, as well as newly submitted district proposals. Stay tuned for our regular community livestream every other Tuesday at 3PM PDT (10PM UTC) as a forum for discussing recent updates to the district0x Network.

Additionally, we bring on guests from related projects in the space, hosting those as separate livestreams throughout the week. You can join us on Mixer, Facebook, Twitch, and YouTube.

We choose the topics and guests for the District Roundup based on community demand. This coming Tuesday we will have guest Jim Waugh from Cre8 and Bideo. We will do a deep dive on what Cre8 is doing with continuous token generation and governance as well as ERC888 (Multi Dimensional token standard).
