It’s hard to believe that the year is over so let’s look back to see what we have done in 2018 and see what to look out for in 2019.
DEXON Foundation
With the great success of launching the testnet, we are now in discussion with IDG Capital, who initially led the first round of 20M USD private placement investment in DEXON, for further cooperation and investment.
DApps
Gemstra has announced migration to DEXON from Ethereum to DEXON as the US-based social-selling eCommerce platform, and Taiwan’s largest gaming company (with over 60K daily active users) is now cooperating with us to reach mass adoption through blockchain technology.
DEXON Network
Publications
DEXON Consensus Algorithm
At the end of May, we published our consensus design: DEXON consensus algorithm. Since then it has been updated to include the latest data, with version 2.0 published on 16th November. You can read the latest consensus algorithm version, here.
DEXON’s Consensus Algorithm has also been published on official scientific journals. First, on the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR), a non-profit scientific organization whose purpose is to further research in cryptology and related fields, and in Cornell University’s e-print services in the field of scientific researches, arXiv.org.
Whitepaper
The DEXON economic whitepaper was published at the beginning of July with the latest update, version 1.2 available since the 10th of October.
DEXON Testnet
DEXON’s testnet was officially launched in November 2018 with an all-time high transaction speed registered at 12.7K transactions per second (TPS), surpassing almost all existing blockchain records.
With the launch of DEXON testnet, this grants us an unparalleled chance to show the world the results of our vigorous efforts over the past year, as well as to show that our investors and community’s confidence in our team and our vision has been worthwhile.
