We’ve made good progress over the past weeks, including many calls with advisors and potential partners, including final optimization and release of our Demo.

The main development highlights are:

Server segregation

As a result of the Demo optimization, the processor power was divided into 2 servers: one for the web layer of the application, in order to improve user experience, the other for running Ethereum nodes. The communication between the servers, for now, is made through a shared database.

The client communicates with the Front Web Server nodes, that save client’s data in the database. Geth Node Servers subsequently receive this data and publish the smart contracts and generate Rinkeby Network transactions. After that, both servers initiate a polling process to monitor contracts/transaction creation and update client data.

.Net Core migration and minor changes

To keep our application up-to-date with the latest releases, we’ve already decided to migrate its code to .net Core 2.0.

When we’ve started the migration, an instability with SignalR was discovered. Due to that, we’ve decided to remove it from the demo and develop the polling logic with simple Ajax calls.

We’ve also increased log coverage, with the purpose of completing error trace. Since user experience is key for our Demo, we continuously keep monitoring all slow transaction sections of the code in order to further improve it.

Alpha Development

With the recent launch of our Demo and feedback from our Advisory Board members, as well as community, we’ve already started developing the alpha release of our Auctus Retirement Plan Platform. This release will represent the first step towards our final platform vision, which will allow users to create retirement portfolios with a crypto/traditional asset mix.
