POWERED BY ARK UPDATE

The Powered by ARK Program aims to help recognize, support and collaborate with projects building on ARK’s technology. The first accepted official partner is nOS, the virtual operating system for the Smart Economy. Here’s a brief update.

The team has been hard at work to finish critical new features. The development of the nOS Blockchain Wallet has been completed, designed specifically so that anyone is able to send and receive NOS, create and redeem stakes and vote for delegates with ease. As well, the nOS Block Explorer has been completed, with a real-time stream of new transactions and blocks, overviews of wallets and stakes, as well as a dashboard with real-time network and coin data. Key blockchain elements have also been completed, such as DPoS IPFS file distribution and hosting, scaled fee removal from block rewards, decentralized delegate descriptions and more. The nOS Whitepaper has also been updated, as well as a new version of nOS Client, bringing the current version to 0.6.

In a recent check-in for January, nOS CEO and Founder Dean Van Dugteren mentioned “many sleepless nights” are happening as nOS gets closer to a public testnet of the nOS blockchain. Dean mentioned that it appears the final sprints are underway.
