2/8/19 — PSN Tech Update: A quick update from the tech team on their focus over the past weeks:

- Focus on ensuring all quantum swap related API are functioning correctly. Testing on the new wallet beta, the team were experimenting with making, taking and recalling swaps from the interface.

- The efsn code has been updated to 1.16 stable in Fusion lab environment. The week-long tests have been really positive. This will enable the team to eventually upgrade to 1.22 stable before main net release.

- The biggest challenge for the technical team has centred around the consensus mechanism for Proof of Stake and ensuring no new forks in the chain. The consensus code is isolated to the DaTong/Consensus directory in the Git repository, feel free to check it out and follow our tinkering. They are currently testing several methods for calculating difficulty and avoiding merle roots. Testing is ongoing.

The Lunar New Year holiday has slowed progress past week but the team is revving up these weeks and expect to have the remaining few issues resolved shortly. The only item preventing the release of PSN 2.0 at this stage is the consensus engine refinements described above.

Technology PSN 1.0 Beta Release Recap

On December 28th, 2018, the team launched the first live Fusion network (PSN 1.0).

Throughout January and the first half of February, the community helped them validate innovative features like Time-Lock, New Asset Creation, Universal Short Account Numbers (USAN) and Autobuy Ticket and identify network performance challenges.

Fusion implemented one of the first fully-fledged versions of Proof of Stake consensus on PSN 1.0 which enables secure, decentralized consensus without the need for computationally expensive Proof of Work mining. The collaboration between the team and community has been essential in identifying and resolving bugs.

Everything you need to know about PSN 1.0 can be found in the Fusion Knowledge Centre. The team encourages all community members to participate in staking so you can:
