DCC Talks about Blockchain Applications with Tron and Spark

Tech Developments
The DCC Platform
- Our team is now developing algorithms for various types of personal data verification. These algorithms will be incorporated into the IPFS-based framework for personal data storage. As we continue to improve the experience on our platform, users will enjoy a smoother process when putting their data onto their personal IPFS nodes.
- In conjunction with the BitExpress team, the DCC Vietnam team is connecting with local businesses in the financial industry in order to facilitate acceptance and recognition of personal credit information stored on DCC.
BitExpress Updates
- The tech team has fixed several bugs in the red packet function. In the next update, users will be able to send red packets with candy rewards to their friends and invite them to join BitExpress.
- Are you enjoying the Secret Garden? A new tool is currently under development, which will help you protect your garden from those friends trying to “steal” coins and other valuable items.
- BitExpress Vietnam is now available in the local Google Play store! Vietnamese users can verify their personal information by submitting digital copies of ID, passports and household documentation. After verification is complete, users will be able to use their digitized personal information at exchanges, banks and pawn shops.
DATA Launches Mainnet
DATA, our strategic partner, launched its mainnet on December 31, 2018. According to its official announcement, DATA wallet and SDK have been integrated with Antube, the DApp that DATA and GroundX. We’d like to congratulate our peers on their hard work, and we look forward to achieving more together in 2019!
