We have launched alpha-release of Robonomics in the Ethereum mainnet. The release of smart contracts 0.9 Robonomics mainnet alpha has taken place. It will allow us to test XRT emission for work, completed by the network provider. We have come up with a new release Aira 0.13 Robonomics Alpha, which will allow us to deploy Aira as a provider. We have also launched Robonomics status, a service of statistical data harvesting on Robonomics performance in real time. We have burned 300 mln. of gas in the first tests and have gained valuable experience by watching the miners in the Ethereum mainnet.

0.9 Robonomics mainnet alpha

In 0.9 version of Robonomics smart contracts we have tested the Robonomics version history infrastructure using ENS for the first time. Now we can observe what happens to the contracts on etherscan, just by inserting ens-address, here for example: https://etherscan.io/address/xrt.0.robonomics.eth

We have deployed 3 contracts for work of the Robonomics network in the alpha-release, using Ethereum mainnet (2 general contracts and one lighthouse of our own production for Aira distributions communication by default):

ENS | Contract | Description

================

xrt.0.robonomics.eth | XRT | Robonomics token

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

factory.0.robonomics.eth | LiabilityFactory | Factory for robot liability smart contracts

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

airalab.lighthouse.0.robonomics.eth | Lighthouse | Robonomics network lighthouse by Airalab (testbed)

Let’s analyze the XRT token movement:

Under number «1.» we see the number «5.082713858 XRT» on prt sc. As the providers have to have at least some amount of XRT owned by them, in order to start their work at the Robonomics lighthouse, we have issued an emission of 5 XRT at the beginning and afterwards have transferred the right of emission to the algorithm. Total, new XRT emission as of today amounts to 0.082713858 XRT. You can read more on XRT emission for the work of the providers in White Paper : “5.2 Providers and lighthouses” and “6 Robonomics Token, XRT”.

Under number «2.» you can see namely the example of a transaction with XRT emission for the utilized gas.

Under number «3.» — opposite the lines, I named «2.» and «3.» you can notice the same tx hash. This is the same transaction, during which at first we released the payment for the fulfillment of the contract by the machine, and then algorithmically the emission of new XRT was carried out.

Also, in the release description you can find a couple of nice goodies, which Alexander Krupenkin created for the deployment of contracts and their automatic testing by scripts.

Aira 0.13 Robonomics Alpha

Starting with this release 0.13, Aira can support the work in the Ethereum mainnet. This means that the current release of Aira can be used for your ROS-compatible robot to start drawing up contracts using any of ERC-20 tokens as its payment method.

We have also ensured one more feature in this release: every Aira becomes a Robonomics provider by default. This feature can be turned off, as well. Closer to TGE we will make this mechanism of work as a provider an option for the launch. For now it’s a more convenient way for us.

If you would like to try downloading Aira and burn a little bit of ether in the name of XRT — enter the chat of Robonomics community and demand the instruction describing how to do it. We are expecting instructions for independent Aira customisation for XRT emission within a week after the next release.

Robonomics status

Available at the link: https://dev.robonomics.network/status/

This is the current statistics of Robonomics performance in the Ethereum mainnet. Let’s say a few words about the parameters we are observing:

Amount of recycling gas in a block of Ethereum network. We count the whole amount of gas in the Ethereum computer, which all of the Robonomics providers of all the lighthouses have utilized. We count it using the analysis of transactions to the liabilities factory (factory.0.robonomics.eth). Profit amount of utilized gas is the amount of utilized gas for the finalized liabilities — or, in other words, the number of liability contracts the machines have fulfilled with the help of Robonomics.

Profit amount of utilized gas is the amount of utilized gas for the finalized liabilities — or, in other words, the number of liability contracts the machines have fulfilled with the help of Robonomics. Capacity of Robonomics network. This point, I think, is quite clear. We count in item numbers: how many liability contracts of the cyber physical systems we have created, as well as how many of them are fulfilled and how many contracts had an execution error in the Ethereum computer, for example, due to a transaction which was compiled incorrectly.

We count in item numbers: how many liability contracts of the cyber physical systems we have created, as well as how many of them are fulfilled and how many contracts had an execution error in the Ethereum computer, for example, due to a transaction which was compiled incorrectly. We also draw the address of the current XRT contract, the emission factor of the development period. We read about the development period in the White Paper — same paragraph 6 on token. And the very last comes the log of the last operations with liability factory of the machines.

We will enhance our statistics, if you have any requests, don’t hesitate and drop us an email to: research@aira.life

What’s next

In the nearest future we will improve the Aira code for the enhancement of the stability of the providers’ work. We have explored interesting nuances of work in the Ethereum mainnet: while they may be obvious, yet we know how they function practically now. Also, the transition from alpha-version to our Olympic is on its way, where we will be testing the Dutch auction, fighting the blind zone of gasprice() function in Solidity and testing the migration between different versions of the network via the alembic.

Peace to all.
