Hello everyone, we would like to share our latest update of the RCN progress.

RCN Network: We have deployed the initial version of the RCN Network and it’s available at our Github repo here: https://github.com/ripio/rcn-network/

The RCN Network initial smart contracts have been audited by Coinfabrik and here’s the public audit post including the fixes commitments: https://blog.coinfabrik.com/ripio-credit-network-rcn-smart-contract-audit/

The RCN network has several phases of development and we will publish more info regarding the next deployments according to our scheduled roadmap.

As a first reference implementation we have been working along with Ripio Argentina to launch the RCN credit exchange and we’re very excited to announce that is now available at https://rcn.exchange.

This platform developed by Ripio is the first to connect Lenders and Borrowers of RCN.

Here, RCN tokens holders will find a list of credit requests made by borrowers which are Ripio customers in Argentina.

Where we’re and what’s next?

The current is an alpha version, it’s accessible only for those who had been included in the white list of RCN tokens sale (during the presale or crowdsale) and the funding and balance initially will be in RCN tokens but we are working this week to integrate the ShiftyButton of ShapeShift (who also has listed the RCN token today) to allow lenders to participate in loans and funding the RCN Exchange account with any digital currency available at ShapeShift. Ripio is the first wallet provider that also built the first RCN exchange, thus the first credit requests will belong to Ripio wallet’s users and they will be listed in the following days.

Ripio confirmed that the RCN Exchange beta version, expected to be launched between December 2017 and January 2018, will include the implementation of the cosigner smart contract of the RCN Network (which is being developed) among other type of loans.

Afterwards, the release candidate will bring several improvements and it will be possible for new customers to join the platform by completing the onboarding process and become Lenders in the RCN Exchange.
