Last week was a busy one, and we’ve made big strides! Most notably, we’ve been working hard on our consensus model and our overall blockchain architecture. Additionally, we have been working on our database storage solutions for our Seneca smart contracts.

If you haven’t yet, be sure to join our Reddit community and come discuss this week’s update.

Clove Development Updates

Developing Clove API, which is a RESTful application that enables indirect calls to Clove.

Users can now create transactions, audit transactions, gather fees and publish transactions by making a simple GET or POST requests.

Cilantro Development Updates

Laid out the first stages of our governance model

Switching from Redis to MyRocks db for storage solutions

Developed an asynchronous event-driven architecture based off the Reactor pattern to serve as the networking backbone for all nodes

Conforming nodes to new state machine protocol

Alpha implementation of DPOS consensus model in testing

Experimentation using metaprogramming to build a simpler SDK

Seneca Development Updates

Finalized tabular storage API spec

Implemented basic smart contract data storage in MyRocks

Tested smart contract data storage model

What’s Next?

This week we will begin implementing more SQL-like features for the storage API. Additionally, we will create more example/test smart contracts that use database storage. For Clove, we will continue to work on the Clove API, and add more Ethereum-based cryptocurrencies to Clove. For Cilantro, we will be developing cryptographically secure algorithms to transfer block data between delegates and masternodes, and we will develop new MyRocks blockchain storage for masternodes.
