As a part of this week’s development update we are excited to announce the commencement of our new Clove integration bounty program!

We have implemented a straightforward method for outside developers to easily add most Bitcoin-based cryptocurrencies to the Clove protocol, and we have just begun a new program that offers a 50 TAU reward for each altcoin that you successfully integrate. You can find the details of our bounty here.

Clove Development Updates

Tested atomic swaps between different currencies- the library skeleton is now ready.

Worked on improving the transaction broadcasting to optimize for reliability and speed

Forked the popular python-bitcoinlib to support altcoins with different address prefixes

Launched an all new Clove integration bounty program

Cilantro Development Updates

Now able to successfully pipeline transactions from a POST request to Masternode, which publishes to the witnesses, and finally propagates to the delegates

Set up storage on Masternode to persist the blocks using MongoDB

Extensive unit test coverage on our interpreters and networking modules

Added timestamps and UUIDs on transactions

Seneca Development Updates

Finished implementing Seneca module system (import/export)

Selected a NoSQL datastore as the primary backend for data associated with smart contracts

Improved code clarity, added documentation, and implemented a few miscellaneous bug fixes

What’s Next?

In the coming week we plan to design and implement storage abstraction for smart contracts in Seneca. We will continue testing our networking components. We will work on consensus procedure for delegates and begin developing mechanism for delegates to update state after a new block has been published.
