GitHub metrics:

Also there are private repositories (~100 private repositories on commercial GitHub).

“Dragonchain, Inc. began in 2017 and has been developing the enterprise and scalable platform on multiple private and proprietary repositories.

We’ve stated from the beginning that we intend to make the open source codebase network compatible with the commercial platform. We expect to do that sometime in 2019, and will involve an update to the open source codebase.” Dragonchain CEO Joe Roets in Official Telegram group:

Developer activity (from Coinlib.io):

Dragonchain recently released their core blockchain platform under an open source license. With this release, the Dragon company will be able to drive adoption among enterprises and developers looking to build their own blockchain based applications. The open source code gives both enterprises and developers access to blockchain innovations, along with resources to continue innovating with them by contributing code. Dragonchain believes this is a necessary step to further drive adoption and understanding of blockchain technology around the world.

“Releasing the source code to the public was always part of our plan. With this release, we believe the potential impact can be maximized by the blockchain community, offering opportunities for developers and driving blockchain adoption” Joe Roets, Founder and CEO of Dragonchain “As a developer, I understand the importance and value of an open source project. We are excited about this big step and can’t wait to let people see how easy and fast they can build powerful blockchain solutions on Dragonchain.” Dean Shelton, Director of Engineering at Dragonchain

Dragonchain’s developers are almost ready to completely relaunch the new console UI & UX. Learn about some of the core developer’s current and future focus points; Interchain management overhaul, changing of the indexing system to Redisearch, optimizing dragonchain creation, lowering resource requirements (eg RAM), and the open source of library smart contracts. Glimpse some of their coming improvements for the platform.

August 1st marked the first day of a new beginning for Dragonchain as a leader in blockchain technology, re-emphasizing our intention to position ourselves in the blockchain world.

This led to the blockchain platform officially released as open-source code, live during the Super Happy Dragon Lucky episode 3. Not only did they release years of work to the community as open source software, the team also ended their Early Access Program (EAP). As a part of this, pooled nodes are now available to everyone. Pooled nodes, for the time being, are hosted and managed by Dragonchain. The team expects to soon release more information documenting the process to run nodes on a user’s own hardware devices. No matter the amount of TIME that a user has, they believe everyone should feel welcome to participate in Dragon Net.

What is TIME?

Changing Dragon Days of Slumber Score (DDSS) to TIME was part of the Dragonchain rebrand, in which they changed the ledger in the old logo to a treasure chest in the new logo. This has always been the plan since the beginning, and the team is happy that this small but important change finally occurred.

DDSS was always about TIME, and this change makes it easier for everyone to explain. For the community, TIME equals the amount of Dragons held in a wallet multiplied by the number of days held. Other than the name, the formula itself remains unchanged. Every Dragon held in a wallet gains 1 TIME per day, with a “last-in-first-out” accounting method. It is a loyalty score now usable in pooled nodes to earn rewards in Dragons. This only marks the beginning of TIME, as users will be able to apply this loyalty score in various ways. Another way is now available, applying TIME to pooled nodes. Other ways to use hard-earned TIME, such as the devotion of TIME to projects competing in Dragonscale competitions, will be available shortly. Dragonchain will continue to roll out additional TIME products, giving users full freedom to ‘spend’ or ‘use’ TIME when and where they want. TIME is a critical part of the full Dragonchain ecosystem, and they aim to include the community’s TIME everywhere they can. Another example further demonstrating this is the Captured Time Lending Contracts, also known as CTLC. Yet another exists in a user’s ability to spin up their own L1 dragonchain, and pay a transaction fee proportional to their TIME for each transaction broadcast through Net. Inside the community console account, users may lend TIME to developers and enterprises via CTLC, allowing them to decrease transaction costs significantly. After the end of the contract, the full amount of TIME lent returns, along with an additional reward in Dragons. As adoption of Dragonchain platform grows, the team expects more community members to take advantage of this feature.

A large portion of the Dragonchain community had great questions. There were many long-time supporters doing their best to answer any and all questions. At this time, the team is able to provide official answers to some of the most pressing questions, enabling users to begin applying TIME to pooled nodes.

What are pooled nodes?

How do I create my account and claim my wallet?

How do I apply TIME to a node?

What are the rewards for applying TIME to nodes, how are they calculated?

Can I run verification nodes on my own hardware (unmanaged, on-premise)?

Where do I see my rewards within the console?

How do I withdraw my rewards from the accounting wallet to my own wallet?

What is the Dragon Net Federation?

What bounties will be available?
