The Sumokoin (SUMO) team has updated their roadmap for the first two quarters of 2018, and the upcoming events include two new wallets and the implementation of a feature called ‘bulletproofs,’ which is expected to reduce the Sumokoin blockchain size by 20-30 percent.

We have been following this young coin for the last half year, and believe it to be a dark horse in the privacy coin race. With the release of the most recent features, including a fresh new mobile wallet for Android devices, we look to the upcoming events detailed in the recently updated roadmap.

As you can see, the first half of 2018 holds some exciting developments:

Lite GUI Wallet – Downloading the entire blockchain for a wallet is a pain, ask anyone with multiple wallets. With the light GUI wallet, users will be able to enjoy the full functionality of a Sumokoin wallet without the tedious blockchain synchronization. Web Wallet – To improve the overall adoption of a coin, it’s essential to incorporate an easy-to-use web wallet that anyone is able to use to store their coins. Bulletproofs – This is one of the more exciting features we have come across to date. Bulletproofs are non-interactive, zero-knowledge proof protocols with sizes that increase logarithmically versus more traditional linear proofs. This enables a significant reduction in blockchain size (up to 80%), transaction times, and ultimately lower fees. Now, what is most exciting about this feature is that it works best on younger blockchains. Given that Sumo was launched in June 2017 (and is a fraction of Monero’s blockchain size), implementing bulletproofs gives Sumokoin a distinct advantage even over the most highly regarded privacy coins.
