Happy Friday one and all ☝️
I hope you're all well. Here's a short and sweet recap of the week...
Paul met with a leading animal welfare charity and provided them with a proposal for bringing their flagship campaign on to our technology stack.
One of our advisors introduced us to one of the world's largest publishing associations to explore a partnership. This will see their own website move on to our platform and should provide us with significant additional exposure within the publishing world.
The DADI Foundation partnered with ADA College (https://ada.ac.uk/), and will be working with them to produce educational resources exploring tech ethics.
They also met with Newspeak House and the Centre for Acceleration of Social Technology. And they attended the TIC Tech conference in Paris...
There's a lot going on at the Foundation right now! (And much more coming besides).
Our commercial team submitted costings to the well known travel company I mentioned last week, so fingers crossed please.
We've started working with a leading ecology magazine to refresh their platform using our technology. It's looking pretty fantastic, and should be launching in our stack next month.
James, Dave and Josh spent the week focused on the network explorer, which is getting very close to release. I expect the Q2 noted in our roadmap to mean early Q2.
Here's another screen of the explorer, this time showing a node level page:
Arthur, Adam, Meher and the network team have been moving the past three months worth of work in to the Mainnet, which is no small task 🚧
As part of this an update to Edge Agent will be pushed out on Monday. This is automatic and there's nothing for node operators to do.
(Agent - which is short for device agent - is the underlying device manager and installer for network nodes. It's a lightweight app that handles network connectivity, including state monitoring, device registration and the staggering of network app updates.)
Storage of network-level data is changing. We're moving it out of Consul and in to a persisted storage solution maintained across all nodes in the network. Why? Because the new approach makes this data much more decentralized – all part of our journey to complete decentralization.
