Technical Update: Apollo, Hermes and Atlas Masternodes Continue to Progress

The focus of the Ambrosus developer team from the past two weeks has remained devoted to onboarding and improving Apollo, Hermes and Atlas Masternodes. Regarding Hermes Masternodes, the developer team has begun to design a User-Interface (UI) for Hermes owners to grant them an improved accessibility to all functionalities when interacting with the Ambrosus Network. This includes uploading bundles, categorising the information that has been collected, and determining who has access to information once it has been sent to the Ambrosus blockchain. The underlying emphasis in these efforts has been on usability: more user-friendly and optimized interfaces lead to more efficiency, and seamless client onboarding. With more clients onboarded, network activity can increase and especially the opportunity for our Atlas Masternodes to store generated data.

For Atlas Masternodes, the developer team has continued to iterate and improve both small and large details. The current focus is largely based upon improving the bundle sheltering distribution formula: to make it more complex and therefore more accurate. The goal is to ensure that different types of Atlas Masternodes have the most equal opportunity to fetch and secure bundles. A second, and equally important focus, is the Ambrosus Explorer. The developer team has identified a significant list of features to add to the Ambrosus Explorer including all available data on Atlas Masternodes (i.e. stake, balance, list of transactions including rewards, available and non-available balance for withdrawal, anticipated date of withdrawal, etc.), as well as different interactive charts that will allow a single operator to optimally manage their node, and transfer bundles to a different node if necessary or as part of a sheltering strategy.

On the Horizon: Further crypto-economic testing, different UI design evaluations, and additional information for Atlas operators via the Ambrosus Explorer.
