Republic Protocol Update — March

A technical update and a strategy for focus and delivery.

It’s been a month since the launch of the REN token and we already have a lot of progress updates for Republic Protocol’s technology. We’ve hit critical milestones faster than expected — all credit to our development team — which we’re happy to provide as an update to our community.

In this update, we’ll share graphical previews of our node management dashboards, dark pool visualizations and will provide a brief overview on the technological challenges we will tackle. These areas include scalability, privacy, security and game-theoretic situations for incentivizing liquidity. Major technical announcements include the completion of atomic-swapping settlement infrastructure, dark nodes and dark network.

Our focus — Liquidity & technology

To begin, we’d like to highlight what the focus for the Republic Protocol team has been over the past month and where we see ourselves spending the most time leading up to our public main network release.

We’re incredibly focused on developing core technology that can securely scale with the vast amounts of liquidity we aim to bring to the platform at speeds comparable to existing centralized exchanges. We believe commodities, equities and other financial instruments will be tokenized in future and we endeavor to become a major player within this tokenized economy; even competing with the existing traditional exchange giants. We understand that liquidity is crucial for any exchange to succeed and thrive, so our team has dedicated our time to developing partnerships with trading desks to bring liquidity to the protocol as soon we launch. We’ve already developed partnerships with two major private liquidity providers to be early adopters and have designed liquidity incentives into the core of our protocol.
