Chris Hitchcott (Digix Core Dev)

This week’s dev update is going to be a little different from usual.

We’ve currently completed all of the JS work currently available for the marketplace project; the tool chain, supporting libraries and module system are now in place and Anthony is now implementing the DGX 2.0 contracts on top of this. After this, the final step is wiring up the contracts to the already-existing ruby application server, and then (very carefully) executing the launch process, which will be confirmed later and will most certainly include a closed-beta phase for testing with real clients.

The reason that this week is different from normal is because I don’t want to announce exactly what I’ve been working on this week… yet. Naturally, it’s a Javascript project, but this time it’s not directly related to the release of DGX 2.0.

Think of it like an early Christmas surprise, that you’ll be able to open next week (if all goes well). What I can say is that this is a key project that will be used in multiple Digix and non-Digix projects in the future. It will have some killer features that don’t exist yet, and if things go as I think they’ll go, the project will have quite a large potential impact on the Ethereum ecosystem. …But that’s all I’m going to say for now. Oh, and it’ll probably be called “Spectrum”.

I’ve been working on the implementation of this project this week, and progress has been substantial. Stay tuned; I’ll be working hard on launching this secret mini project by (hopefully) the end of next week.

Future Updates:

Barring the holiday season fast approaching, and that some of Digix’s value proposition relies on its competitive advantage by aiming to be fastest to market a live DApp and DAO, we will be slightly more sporadic with our updates until we launch. We will however, always be available on our slack channel. Thank you.
