With DA Power Play, we’re setting out to bring you something truly unique. We want our platform to occupy a space that no other crypto-based product currently occupies in today’s market. We’re confident that DA Power Play will make algorithmic crypto-trading more user friendly and efficient than ever — for hedge funds, seasoned traders and beginners alike. We want users to ask themselves, “how did I ever trade before DA Power Play”. In order to accomplish this, our aim is to bring you not only a great UI and trading experience, but also to provide you with the best possible tools and services that we’re convinced will be a game changer to how you trade cryptocurrencies and create automated trading strategies.

A lot of work has been done since the end of the ICO in September. First and foremost, our dev. team is growing to a total of 16 people. We took our time and much consideration to ensure we assemble a great team. One that we’re proud to work with and that we are confident can help us accomplish our vision.

Regarding exchanges, as many of you know, we’ve been listed on Cryptopia and should have another exchange to announce very soon. We are currently in negotiations with five very well known and widely used exchanges and expect to be listed on approximately 4–5 more by early next year.

We’re also in contact with sites like coinmarketcap.com, cryptocompare.com, and others, and hope to have DPP Tokens listed there very soon. However, certain sites such as CoinMarketCap require a daily trading volume of at least USD $10,000 to be listed so as we expand onto more exchanges, we will also be listed on such sites.

Great strides have also been made with development. Here’s a quick update on a few things we’ve been working on:

Scaling up the data stream and storage capabilities on software and hardware layer.

We can confirm that the strategy editor and private cloud that runs strategies are connected and up and running. The editor is built with Vue/D3, private cloud leans on Docker and PM2.

The private PoA chain with Parity’s Aura consensus algorithm is also up and running, along with basic block explorer, ethstats server, and a set of secondary nodes. Essentially, this is a private Kovan-like network. This provides the required infrastructure to ensure contracts are behaving as we expect them to.

What’s coming up next? In the coming weeks we’ll be focusing on:

User management — establishing your personal account information and ethereum identity in a secure and user-friendly format.

Implementing and testing the Strategy Wallet’s smart contracts based upon required functionality.

Expanding editor functionality, adding new nodes, and simplifying the debugging process.

In regard to this update, here’s a quick message from CTO, Nikola Jokic:

“Hi community! As mentioned above, we’ve been very busy! A lot of work has been done in the last six weeks. Personally, I’m most excited with the possibilities of our Strategy Editor. It truly provides a fun way to create and run algorithms — we think you’re going to love it. One option that we’re currently exploring is the possibility to create, not just strategies (resulting with an order or hodl), but also indicators where output is expressed as a number or possibly another piece of information that can be fed back into strategies as an input. At some point, chaining strategies becomes a networking problem — how to push so much data efficiently. On the same machine it’s relatively ‘easy’, however, when you need to do it between several machines or even throughout numerous geo-locations, it becomes a great challenge — and one we’re confident in tackling. In the end, it’s all about limits. We’ll have to set some limitations in place to ensure a smooth and efficient experience for everyone. A great user-friendly experience and excellent design is, and will always remain, at the foundation of our approach at DA Power Play — now and beyond launch.”

We hope this quick update answered many of your questions and we look forward to having many more developer updates in the near future. Visit our website and follow our social media channels for more information and upcoming announcements. We’re also planning an AMA for sometime during the next week so stay tuned for that as well! Thank you for your continued support!
