Each week, r/0chain hosts an AMA with 0chain’s Operations Director, Derick Fiebiger, to address questions from the community. Without further delay, let’s dive into this weeks address:

Question 1: MNwildfan95 — Can you provide any insight on our partnership with NEO? Are there any plans to engage with that community?

Answer 1: All of our crypto partnerships are focused on using our dStorage. Once our SDKs are out and dStorage can be explored, then we can not only come back to our existing crypto partners with a useable solution, but also branch out into countless others who may benefit from a decentralized storage solution and/or a fast blockchain.

Question 2: iluvcrypto123 — When can we expect a preview of the 0box app?

Answer 2: The first preview of the app will be on alphanet launch where you can upload and download files. Saswata has said they are running internal tests this week, and anticipates launch of alphanet next week.

Question 3: Anomalous_1 — Has there been any study on approximate price of zcn per unit of storage utilized? ie if the network is storing 1 petabyte then 1 zcn should be approximately worth X?

Answer 3: It’s entirely dependent on total available storage relative to token price. We have several economic studies done by Andrea Buraschi, a globally distinguished economist, who does research for Imperial College of London. He ran studies on our token protocol and has written two analyses titled “the equilibrium price of 0chain” and “ZCN token valuation”. These two papers will be appendices in our new white paper which will be out within the month. Which brings up another point: the appendices will have 5 protocol papers, in addition to the comprehensive new white paper which summarizes the entire protocol. We’re putting finishing touches on it and it is incredible.

Question 4: Anomalous_1 — Is there a formal audit of the code being conducted by a 3rd party prior to mainnet launch? Is there any consideration to moving toward opensource as the project matures?

Answer 4: Yes there will be audits during betanet. There is consideration to migrate to open source as the project matures.

Thank you for tuning into this weeks AMA. We encourage you to add any questions that you have to be answered in next week’s episode of AskFeebs.
