We are back with our latest weekly update! This past week saw us finish creating the smart contracts for interacting with Augur and 0x, implement American, Decimal, and Percentage odds views, fix several bugs, and improve the holdings page and how we handle orders internally. We are thrilled with the progress we’ve made and are pleased to announce that the alpha version of our exchange will launch on testnet on April 1, 2019!

The testnet release will be on the Kovan network on the Ethereum blockchain. This article is a good primer on what we’re building. We are in the process of gathering Kovan ETH for use on the testnet exchange — if you plan to try out the exchange feel free to gather some Kovan ETH as well. Simply Install MetaMask and connect your MetaMask to the Kovan network and head to any of the following resources to start gathering Kovan ETH:

https://faucet.kovan.network/

https://faucets.blockxlabs.com/ethereum

https://gitter.im/kovan-testnet/faucet

We are very excited to launch the exchange and look forward to working together with our community to prepare for mainnet launch this summer.

3k8D continues his impressive run as he sits on top of our March leaderboard after winning in February! Email experts@blitzpredict.io to compete on our global leaderboard. We will be releasing our March Madness podcast tomorrow morning — look for it on Podbean, Spotify, Google Play, and iTunes as we break down the tournament bracket with several college basketball experts.

That’s it for this week! We are super excited to launch the exchange and keep it rolling from there! Make sure to follow us on Twitter, Telegram, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, and Blockfolio for the latest updates on the project — thanks for your support!

CEO
