As per the last update, we shipped DigixDAO governance’s codes to our smart contract auditors on Oct 10 2018. The codebase is open sourced at https://github.com/DigixGlobal/dao-contracts

We have begun implemention of mock ups that we have previously designed for DigixDAO’s governance.

Attached below is the link of our first sprint in implementing a working Governance UI.

https://www-kovan.digixdev.com/governance/#/

The general layout and feel of DigixDAO Governance UI has been implemented, with the main dashboard showing the stats of the DAO and a listing of all proposals in their different stages. Users can also load their ETH wallets (but cannot do any governance activities yet).

DGX Gold Rush Promotion

The first DGX Gold Rush was conducted between Oct 17 to Oct 21, where a 5 day series of social media posts were published about DGX. In this same period, there were growing concerns about token projects which claimed that each token is backed by a real world asset. The concerns ranged from a lack of transparency around the real world holdings and the operational process of withdrawing the real world currency.

The purpose of the Gold Rush campaign was to bring attention to DGX as a real world tokenised asset class. By bringing a relatively less volatile asset class of gold onto the blockchain, we allow virtual currency holders with the opportunity to diversify their holdings.

As Digix intends to increase awareness on its brand name and product offerings, subsequent campaigns will cover other aspects of the brand, such as our proprietary suite of smart contracts which enables a transparent DGX minting process, based on real world verifications, that is available 24/7.

The first DGX Gold Rush generated an increased interest across Digix’s social media and an increased number of KYC applications. More campaigns to come where participants will stand a chance to win Digix merchandise as well (check out Nicholas’ tshirt below)!

Airswap Spaces

As an extension of our existing relationship with Airswap, Digix is one of the first blockchain projects to have its own Space on the new conversational OTC platform by Airswap. This will be a platform for bulk DGX orders to be transacted on a peer-to-peer basis.

From the screenshot below, there is already an order of 100K DGX. Clearly, there is a call for the Digix team to ramp up its scale and rest assured that we will respond to this call to action!

Michael Oved (Co-founder of Airswap) and Maxime (Airswap Business Development) came down to our Singapore office to catch up on upcoming project goals and insights.

Increasing the relevance and media presence of Digix

We are receiving an increased amount of media inquiries and comments on the blockchain ecosystem recently.

Concurrently, we are striving to place Digix’s brand name on as many media platforms as possible, and some recent examples are shown as below:

The increase in media outputs have also placed Digix amongst the top of a Blockchain Top 100 review website — Link.

We look forward to increasing Digix’s presence further as we find ways to talk about our product in as many relevant channels as possible.
