1. DigixDAO’s updates

ChainSecurity has come back to us with an intermediate report on the security issues that were found in our DigixDAO contracts. We are glad to reveal that no critical issues were found and no major changes are required. In fact, we have already finished addressing all the issues and sent back a list of fixes to the auditor. If all goes well, our auditor will publish their final report soon, after verifying our fixes. In short, we can say with near certainty that only this one round of audit is sufficient and the contracts are good to go.

As for the UI and backend system for the DigixDAO platform, we have been done with the functionalities to lock DGD, create and edit proposals. At the moment we are developing the voting and commenting features and hopefully we could produce an internal version that supports a whole lifetime of a proposal soon. If all goes well, you could expect to see a basic preview (with core functionalities) of the DAO platform on Kovan testnet by the end of the year. According to this timeline, we might be able to launch DigixDAO on mainnet early next year.

Here are a few screenshots of our work in progress:
