Hi folks,

Last week, Jenn shared the XYO tech road map for our current sprint, letting you know what the team’s currently working on. We’ll have a major road map update on all aspects of the project in early February, including not just mainnet progress, but the big-picture plans for 2019. In the meantime, here’s the plan for our next two sprints, running through the end of February.

This is part two of a three-part document — we’ll have the final piece for you next week!

Sprint 2

Feature/Task: XYO App MVP version iOS Parts 1 and 2

Description: Building out and iterating upon the XYO app on iOS, allowing iOS devices to create Bound Witness Interactions between other Sentinels and Bridges

Feature/Task: XY4 Bound Witness bridging with bridge node (phone)

Description: Allows XY4 Sentinels to create Bound Witness Interactions between the XY4 and a phone or tablet running the XYO app

Feature/Task: XYO App MVP version Android Part 2

Description: Iterates upon the existing XYO app, improving functionality and adding features

Feature/Task: 4 node centralized version of SCSC

Description: Allows for a Simple Consensus Smart Contract to be fulfilled based on a series of Bound Witness Interactions between the four basic XYO nodes (Sentinel, Bridge, Archivist, and Diviner)

Sprint 3

Feature/Task: Sample Query Application that asks “did nodes interact” and that can write to IPFS mainchain

Description: Allows for a Diviner to create a basic query (“did an interaction between these two XYO nodes occur”) and log that information on IPFS. This is a major component in allowing for paid queries and rewarding miners.

Feature/Task: Diviner needs to be able to get enough signatures for consensus

Description: Moves from the centralized, single source of data to a decentralized, trustless system by adding additional confirmations

Feature/Task: Phone app has to provide XY4 with key (ie sign them up to the contract)

Description: Allows XY4 Sentinels to be used in Simple Consensus Smart Contracts

Feature/Task: XYO App MVP version iOS Parts 3 and 4

Description: Iterates upon the existing XYO app, improving functionality and adding features from earlier sprints

We’ll have the final steps of the Q1 XYO tech road map for you shortly, along with an update on what we accomplished from Sprint One!
