October 2017

Welcome to our first ever monthly development update!

About the team

My name is Amit Maor, and I’m CTO of Stox. I’ve worked as VP R&D and CTO in various online companies, including in the fields of fintech and adtech.

Amit, CTO of Stox

Our development team is comprised of decentralized (blockchain) experts and centralized (web) developers.

In our blockchain team we have one full-time blockchain developer and are in process of recruiting more. We also have a blockchain architect and blockchain security architect from CoinTree working with us.

Our current web “dream team” is comprised of 6 employees, including a system architect, full stack developers, QA and DevOps, plus a new team leader that will join us in November.

The web infrastructure will be based on Node.js and React.js technology.

What we completed in October-2017?

Launched a campaign to invite users to submit their ideas for predictions. We received over 1,000 suggestions, of which 20 have been added to the platform. More are being added.

Integrated the Stox Token onto Bancor.

Added a leaderboard to the platform so users can track their achievements.

On the horizon (by end of Q4)

For the past several weeks the development team has been focused on the 2.0 version of the Stox Alpha.

The highlight of the Alpha 2.0 version is implementation of blockchain technology, enabling decentralized predictions on smart contracts and wallet integration, running on a private chain environment.

Our Alpha 2.0 prediction engine will allow users to:

Create \ manage predictions

Create \ manage oracles

Place bids on different outcomes

Resolve event outcomes using oracles

Distribute earnings after the event is resolved.

In addition, we are aiming to post the prediction engine smart contracts code on GitHub in the next week.

We will also launch our Bounty program the coming weeks, which will include a Bug Bounty on smart contracts, as well as general bugs.

Recruitment

We’re still hunting superstar developers and blockchain experts to join our team.
