Recent Milestones

Vite Developer Committee to establish soon

On Nov 4, Vite CPO Blackey Hou announced on the Vite community livestream AMA that, Vite Labs will provide at least 500,000 VITE every month to reward software development by community members.

The Vite Labs foundation will set up a Developer Committee responsible for collecting suggestions from the community, create plans for development, decide allocation of budgets, and supervise project outcomes. Members of this Committee will comprise mostly of the Vite community, following the decentralized and global ethos of the Vite project. The Committee will be organized around the principles of fairness and transparency.

Look out for more information on how to join the Vite Developer Committee!

ViteX Exchange

On Nov 6, the ViteX operator VGATE listed Idena (IDNA), and opened the IDNA/BTC trading pair.

Idena is a blockchain that proves a user’s human identity by running an AI-resistant test, without using personally identifiable information. The Idena blockchain uses a Proof-of-Person (PoP) consensus.

ViteX rules for suspending the display of certain trading pairs

On Nov 4, ViteX released rules for hiding certain trading pairs. The ViteX website and app will no longer display non-active trading pairs. As mentioned in the previous biweekly report, relevant assets are still safe and custodied via users’ own private keys.

Per our communication with gateway operators, we released the first list of hidden trading pairs: https://forum.vite.net/topic/4315/ann-the-first-batch-of-hidden-trading-pairs
