The monthly IOTA Research Status Update will contain news and updates about our major projects.

This month’s update is about the status of our major task, Coordicide.

Our team is split into several subgroups, each of which is focused on a specific area of Coordicide. The DRIs (Directly Responsible Individuals) for each group meet regularly to discuss developments and impacts across the groups. We have found this workflow to be very effective.

Our primary goal is to deliver a specification for the Bee node software, which will form our implementation of Coordicide. This will run first on a testnet, and then later on the Mainnet. Our team is currently engaged in three tasks: writing a research specification, whitepaper revisions and researching the Coordicide components.
