Hi everyone 👋

The sun is shining here in London and we’re slowly emerging from lockdown ☀️

We’re now feature complete for the $XE Ledger. Transactions, wallets, balances and APIs are all fully implemented.

We moved into security testing and have been continuing with high load testing.

There have been a wide array of improvements implemented already on the back of testing. For example the ledger node now reports a hashrate, which is useful for benchmarking.

A sync issue with transactions has been identified under an extremely high load scenario. The team is working to understand what’s triggering this.

The tokenomics for the network are in final review with a handful of third parties.

We remain broadly on track, pending the outcome of testing and the revisions that it triggers.

I expect the community Wiki to go live next week. This breaks out everything about the Edge platform, and is designed in support of Edge’s growing community.

The team also released a new build of Stargate, Gateway and Host to mainnet, significantly improving configuration time and fixing an issue with poorly configured Devices contributing to the network.

The update has now been live for a little over 24 hours and is showing increased stability.

Since we introduced the priority queue, where requests are assigned to Hosts, we were seeing some issues with Hosts that weren’t configured trying to resolve the job.

An update to CDN was released that refactors the create and update paths, merging them into a unified upsert method which makes it harder for a restarted container from being mistaken as configured by Host. This removes the potential for 504 error responses for the service.

The eCommerce addition to the Ecohustler site being worked on by Edit is in final testing and content is being populated. It will be live at some point in the next fortnight.

Maxmar asked:

“Will there be rewards for liquidity providers on decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap and/or other DeFi integrations of the edge token? Or for example enabling node stakes using uniswap edge/eth LP tokens or automatically staking these in collateralized loan platforms such as AAVE ? I think it is important to realize that two of the main issues of the previous iteration of the token was low liquidity as well as too low APY from hosting revenue alone compared to DeFi protocols, so it would be important to address these”
