The District Weekly — July 14th, 2018

News and updates from the district0x Network

This past week was largely focused on design work for Meme Factory and bringing the new dev teams up to speed and in sync with the rest of the project. Meme Factory continues to be the primary focus, however work is beginning to happen in parallel on the District Registry, a critical component for the ecosystem. Also this past week we released our latest dev update. Coming up this week we will be releasing our 2018 Q2 report.

A common topic of conversation that came up on telegram/slack this past week were questions related to the current, but temporary, carbon voting system. This voting-by-signaling process is being used to decide which districts should be focused on first by the development teams that have signed on to the project. The carbon voting process will be replaced by the District Registry, a Token Curated Registry mechanism, within the coming months. The registry will ensure that prospective marketplaces make use of the district0x Network Token for their district, safeguard the district0x Network from malicious actors which could open the project to legal risks, and will dictate access to the District Staking Interface and a suite of ancillary services designed to maximize network effects and build moats around the district0x Network.
