Greetings everyone! We are back with our #8 project update for 9/1/18–9/23/18. In the last three weeks, the IoTeX team has been hard at work for both technical developments and community engagements. After successfully launched the Testnet Beta: Epik, we have engaged in more meaningful campaigns, AMAs, and attending many fruitful events. We are excited to share with you our progress we have accomplished!

Technical Updates

Technical Development

Migrated to develop on the public code repo directly instead of developing internally and syncing the code to it.

IoTeX Profile System Update

To protect the community accounts security and the fairness of all the campaign, we have made a few updates to the profile system.

We have finished auditing all accounts. Fraud accounts are banned. Unprocessed redemption applications have been wiped.

Unprocessed redemption applications have been wiped. If you login through email, please login, connect your account with Telegram or Phone Number (CN only). Then you are able to submit the token redemption application to get IOTX tokens.

The minimum redemption requirements has been raised from 100 points to 1,000 points, to speed up the overall redemption process and prevent fraud activities.

We hope to provide a fair and secure environment for our community. Thank you for your support!

Community Updates

IoTeX Roll Dice Campaign II — September 4, 2018

On September 4, we introduced the fun campaign for our community to participate in, while getting more knowledge on our Epik code release. We love connecting with our community and supporters through not only fun, but meaningful engagements. On this note, the purpose was to encourage our community to have a deeper understanding of our recent Testnet Beta: Epik release and our new product — IoTeX wallet version 1.0. We have received tremendous support from the community to join and most of the participants got the correct answers for those random difficult questions!
