March is over and it was not the month when crypto markets have taken a upwards trend, unfortunately. The continuous down cycle doesn’t make you very hopeful but if you are in this for long (or hold), it will eventually come out good. Aigang has worked hard to bring out our first Alpha release of Aigang Platform, we updated our roadmap going forwards and have been selected to participate in Tryg Xplore program.

Platform, ongoing works and plans:

Aigang Platform alpha public release:

Our new public release of Aigang Platform alpha is here! It includes the Aigang.Data part with User management and Data set Upload functionality. This new release will combine all 4 core parts (Aigang.Data, Aigang.Predictions, Aigang.Investment(as PoC) and Aigang.Insurance) in to one Platform and will be continually developed on public github (https://github.com/AigangNetwork/aigang-platform-web), with new releases to be deployed to allow stakeholders, underwriters, specialists, insurance enthusiasts and other people to participate in Aigang Platform.

Together with this alpha release, you will be able to find and use Data sets from Aigang Proof-of-Concept Apps for IoT device insurance. Everyone who is interested to participate in creating new Insurance products, can download data set (Android phones) from Aigang.Data, and start analysing and building new Insurance risk models. This is very important for us to build up from our successful PoC apps released last year, which together have more than 2800 smart policies on Ethereum testnet for battery insurance, thus generating a lot of data that can be used to create new risk models. We invite everyone who is interested to reach out and talk to us about crowd-sourced way to create new insurance risk models and products.

Key focus for us now will be creating AIX token staking for Aigang.Predictions markets and other AIX use cases in future on Aigang Platform and Protocol.

Development update:

As was promised in last update, we have opened Platform source code on github. Together with that, we have also opened up our backlog board with source code for community involvement and feedback.

At this stage, we are using centralized approach for our API (https://api.aigang.network/swagger/) to control user permissions and provide services that cannot yet be reliably used on the Ethereum network. In the future, our API will be replaced with open decentralised Ethereum network services.

The next update on our roadmap is in Phase 4 and will be release of Aigang.Data Insurance Risk Model Upload functionality and social features. This will be followed then by adding AIX token staking functionality which will allow to build first PoC for AIX token staking for Insurance Risk Models. More details about Roadmap updates — see below.

We are already working on research and development for Aigang.Predictions prediction market functionality. We expect a release of Aigang.Predictions smart contracts and Platform UI Light version during this quarter (2018 Q2), where we can demonstrate first time working Proof-of-Concept prediction market for Insurance.

We also welcomed new team member Domantas — he is full stack developer with previous experience in building web applications for insurance companies.

Roadmap updates:

Our roadmap has been a guideline for development team. The first version of roadmap has been a mix of product(insurance) and technical roadmap. With new updated roadmap we have focused it to more technical roadmap version. Since we have started our whitepaper in 2017 June, we have learned that there a couple of product(insurance) elements that can be delayed (eg. tokenised insurance risk pools, insurance trading or development SDK).

Key change in our new roadmap that it has been updated in the light to release in more agile way, developing towards fully working Aigang Platform version as product, thus creating a use cases for AIX token. This way we can demonstrate to community the applications of decentralized DAO insurance and potential of AIX token.
