Highlighting the Regen Network Testnet Roadmap

Recently Gregory Landua wrote a very nice testnet roadmap and discussion piece for Regen Network’s Medium page. Gregory was able to highlight last year’s testnet 1001 and address several areas Regen Network aims to build on within this year. With growing the general community, encouraging more testnet participants, and thoroughly breaking in the network, the team has some great plans set forth for this year and we couldn't be more excited for 2020.

Topics addressed

Regen Network Testnet 2000: Algradigon

Regen Network Testnet 3000: COSMWASM Kontraŭa Testnet

Regen Network Testnet 4000: Aplikiĝo Testnet

Legal: KYC/AML discussion for testnet participants

Progress Report for the start of February

IRISnet has become one of my personal favorite projects to follow over the last year. Not because of their outstanding developments from a technical level, ambitious community support within the cosmos ecosystem, or even because they’re always shipping updates week after week. This project has become one of my fav’s because of the cute character flyers they distribute with every holiday or network milestone that passes! All fun aside IRISnet has been an exciting and interesting project to follow, and last week they issued one of their own bi-weekly reports.

Here’s the short on what went down

Irishub-sdk-js frame and several modules development are completed

Irishub Service invocation will be refactored

Rainbow 2.9.1 is under design, development, and test

IRISnet issued statements for Cosmos

Lantern Festival Hongbao (red packet) Activity is held

1st Non-standard IBC Transaction Executed by Persistence

Even though this is not a direct update from the Cosmos crew, I felt the need to highlight this event delivered recently from a very promising group, Persistence. Over the last month or so there has been a growing presence within the Cosmos ecosystem that’s focused on delivering an enterprise Hub for the Cosmos Network and becoming the bridge for enterprise applications by leveraging Cosmos’ IBC module. As this project grows with IBC development one can only imagine the potential such a hub could bring to the ecosystem.

Prop 23 Was Successfully Passed

One of the community's most vocal and insightful Validators, Figment Networks, issued a very coordinated draft proposal over the Winter which was passed successfully at the end of January. This governance proposal marks the first time the community spend pool was successfully utilized for the greater of the ecosystem. With Gavin leading the charge with this initiative we couldn’t be more excited about what this proposal was initiated for, a proper governance working group. With this proposal being passed a little over two weeks ago Gavin has already seen to it that there are results to reflect on this historical proposal.

A Zcash Zone funded with Ethereum For Cosmos?!

You read that right. One man had a dream and now he’s committed to making it happen. Aurel, the CEO of Dokia Capital, has recently committed 20k DAI to make a Zcash zone on the Cosmos Hub a reality. Following his original tweet, Dokia Capital also doubled down on this ambition and committed to 20k DAI as well for the successful completion of this bounty. To learn more about this bounty give Aurel a follow on Twitter and check out what he and Dokia Capital are up to.

Celo Announces New Program

Celo recently announced an all-new mentor centric program for startups interested in building on the Celo Network. With this new program, Celo Camp, individuals can not only seek the right mentoring and guidance from those running the program; but rewarded participants will also receive some funding assistance to further develop their ambitions. After running a successful program similar to this called LibraCamp, we can see why Celo wants to start up another program to continue scaling the community out.

Hacker One Announces Celo Bug Bounty Program

On February 11th, Celo announced Hacker One’s Bug Bounty Program. This program is aimed at finding security vulnerabilities that Celo’s developers can address and resolve so they can continue delivering a sound network. As an active testnet participant, we’re extremely excited to see such an initiative take place as we see secondary groups take Celo’s ambitions seriously just as we have. If you’re interested in this Bug Bounty and would like to test your skills visit Hacker One’s site to learn more!
