district0x Dev Update - January 23rd, 2018

Development progress and product changes from district0x

The most recent development cycle has been dedicated towards necessary updates after recent highly publicized processor vulnerabilities Meltdown and Spectre, requiring quite a few hotfixes in order to secure our entire stack. In addition, we’ve made major progress with several pieces of d0xINFRA, and we are finalizing the name registration flow for Name Bazaar.

We’re still accepting applications for a Clojurescript developer. If you have experience in Clojure, Clojurescript, Javascript, or Solidity and think you’d be a good fit, please shoot us an email with your work history and qualifications at talent@district0x.io. You can find a full job description here.

Name Bazaar Updates

In Progress

As noted above, the Ethereum Name Service domain registration flow for Name Bazaar is in the final stages of production, with tests being ran and final copy being added, we expect this to go live soon!

d0xINFRA Updates

In Progress

Work continues on the modularizing effort, with an increasing number of the UI components for districts being spun off as modules, with their own Clojure repositories on the district0x github. This effort has been ongoing for weeks and will likely continue for several more.

What’s Next?

As we develop and refine d0xINFRA and redesign our dApps to a more microservice-oriented approach, there’s becoming an increasing need for testing tools that can help us scale and quickly implement much needed changes. Work has begun on a proof of concept end-to-end testing suite that compiles and runs the various modules in Node.js and allows testing in any browser environment.

We’re continuing to prioritize the interviewing hiring of quality engineers from the Clojure community that can help us scale development efforts on new districts and modules. If you’re interested in building this with us, shoot us a line.
