Development updates

Publica sidechain

One of the things that the devs are busy at work is the sidechain to which Publica is planning to move some of their processes. We plan to use JP Morgan's Quorum blockchain to tackle the challenge of scalability — more specifically remove high book deployment costs and significantly increase transaction speed. So far the developers' efforts have been fruitful and tests with the deployment of Publica's book Smart Contracts have been successful.

Book secondary exchange

Another aspect of the Publica platform we have talked about is the book secondary exchange and efforts are currently devoted to developing and testing it. The primary focus is to ensure basic functionality and some of it is now in place and tested and work is being continued to make the platform more user-friendly.

AMA questions

Based on the community's suggestions we have decided to hold another AMA and answer the questions that our community is most interested in. We will hold the AMA roughly in a week or two regardless of the number of questions submitted.

Ethershift DEX launch and rebranding

One of Publica's current exchanges — Ethershift — is rebranding to “Switch” and also launching a decentralized exchange soon. We're really happy for their progress and want to let you know that we be both on the rebranded exchange AND we will be also listed on the decentralized exchange so you will be able to trade PBL tokens there.

Thanks for tuning in and providing your feedback, see you next week!
