Ulord’s first batch of master nodes has launched — A leap in the development of public blockchain technology
Finally, the moment when Ulord master node was born came,
Countless people cheer for it, thrilled at it,
There are also countless people who devoted it silently.

At the moment when Ulord master nodes launched, PhDs of Ulord project and representatives of Ulord Global Community Alliance delivered their comments.
Ulord CEO Dr. Dam Woods:
A leap in the development of public blockchain!
This is a small step of Ulord, but a leap of public blockchain development! The successful launch of Ulord public blockchain master node system marks that the first distributed storage network in blockchain field was launched, and a large-scale resource coordination distributed network with consensus value was born. The value it represents in the future is beyond our estimate, but it is definitely a milestone.
Thank you for the hard work of the main node holders! You are the real master of Ulord!
For our dream, we move forward together.
Ulord VP Dr. Yang Zheng
Victory belongs to everyone!
Ulord team, Ulord Global Community Alliance, all the developers, volunteers, master node builders, and all the friends who care about Ulord, the successful launch of master node, are successfully launched. It is the joint efforts that lead to the victory belonging to everyone!
Ulord CTO Dr. Kwuaint Li
Let’s together!
There are still many challenges. This is the beginning, and we have a long way to go. Let’s together!
Ulord VP Dr. Liang Liang
This will be a happy memory!
The official operation of master node is a solid step for Ulord to succeed!
Ulord team will work with you to advance the Ulord project in a down-to-earth manner. I hope that every moment Ulord grows, it will be a happy memory for us.
Ulord CMO Dr. Cyber Kuber
Come on, everybody!
The mission of blockchain is to design a cooperation mode with a win-win agreement, so that each party can exert its own initiative and get its own return in a fair, just and open way. Each master node is like a planter, a propaganda team. We are on a same boat, come on!
Ulord Global Community Alliance COO Letaotao
Fulfill Ulord, fulfill you and me!
Congratulations on the successful launch of Ulord master node system! We witness the historic moment of Ulord. “No dreams are too big to realize; no challenges are too big to handle.” Fulfill Ulord, fulfill you and me! At the best moment, meet Ulord!
A leap in the development of public chain technology.
Master node is a very important part of Ulord ecosystem.
The master nodes selected by Ulord is the guardian of the entire Ulord network. It will provide hashrate and verification for more than one million Ulord supporters around the world, and will play an important role in Ulord governance structure in the future.
(1)Resolve and improve distributed data storage efficiency by master node’s supporting IPFS.
(2)Support the interplanetary domain name system through master node, so that it is very convenient for all users to build their own applications and design their own economic model on Ulord.
(3) Through master node, the Ulord network realizes massive storage of data and provides rewards for users who provide storage space.
(4) Through master node, network QoS can be improved to ensure storage service quality. Through the master node candidate mechanism, data packet loss rate, network communication delay, and number of data retransmissions can be solved.
(5) Voting system and budget system are introduced through master node to support the sustainable development of Ulord. The voting system intelligently evaluates multiple applications at the application layer, assists the budget system and funds more application developers to develop on Ulord.
Ulord will build a healthy ecosystem with interconnection, symbiosis and common governance where everyone can participate and benefit. You can participate in Ulord ecosystem building through various channels. Ulord master node is a very important part of Ulord ecosystem.
Dr. Joshua, founder of Homebloc from Silicon Valley, USA, said that Ulord code update can be found on Github at any time. The main net has been online with the complete underlying architecture. We have downloaded the compile and it works fine. Its sidechain technology and the compatibility with Ethereum’s smart contract have made Ulord a big step forward. Ulord master node provides a physical foundation, and after the application-oriented interface is improved, various applications can be quickly developed. A large number of developers will be able to fufill one’s potential and build their DAPPs. When there are hundreds of applications on Ulord and thousands of users, Ulord will develop better.
Review the first phase of master node election
Technical progress
In 2017, Ulord R&D team conducted the research and development of master node. In the second quarter of 2018, the development of master node system was basically completed. On August 30, 2018, the first batch of master node was launched.
This article only shows the development of R&D from July 26th to August 30th.
June 19-June 25:
1. Three major modules of master node are completed: a. account system module; b. master node application interface module; C. ID card authentication module.
2. The code on one side of the master node is complete.
June 26-August 1:
Complete the code compilation of UCenter (Ulord Center) certificate issuance function, improve the certificate data structure, and add the certificate version number and security protection. The digital certificate issuance and the data interaction between master nodes is completed.
August 2-August 8:
1. Ulord system account name is unique, and the code of account transfer module is completed.
2. Ulord master node is separated from the wallet.
3. Master node authentication certificate process is optimized, and add the certificate signature private key change process.
August 9-August 15:
1. Fix Ulord account system bug.
2. Add a verification module to Ulord account system.
3. Add sensitive word filtering to Ulord account system.
4. In Ulord system, the revenue address of the master node is separated from the deposit address.
5. ucenter responds to the public keyrequest command, and can synchronize the ucenter public key through the network.
6. Simplify the Ulord master configurationfile and reduce the two configuration files to one.
August 16-August 22:
1. Ulord account system code is in test to ensure the system security.
2. Refactor the codes of all account system verification modules to avoid exceptions in initializing download blocks.
3. Organize pre-registered account names and write pre-registration scripts in batches.
4. The ucenter private key is configured to encrypt and decrypt all the private keys in the configuration file to improve the security of Ulord master node system.
5. Some configuration are rewritten to relieve ucenter access pressure and improve self-recoveryafter node reboots.
August 23-August 29:
1. Code module of Ulord account system is refactoredto ensure that it does not have any impact on Ulord main net, and the main netprogram runs more robustly.
2. Ulord account system is in test under extreme conditions to prevent others from changing codes and affecting the main net.
3. Ensure that master node goes online, the ucenter server environment is set up, and the related server of Ulord main net is upgraded.
4. Simulate the existing Ulord main network environment for testing to enhance payment check on master node, and improve the security of the Ulord main net.
5. Test web configuration of master nodebefore getting online, modify some configurations that are not user-friendly,and add a node type selection switch. Users can choose to run according tomaster node or normal node.
Operation progress
On June 18, Ulord officially published An Open Letter on the Master Node Election to Ulord Community.
