Mainnet
Last month, mainnet team kicked off development of final pieces of the puzzle to make Quantum Portal and the testnet production ready. We have added fee management to QP along with a new miner selection algorithm.
This month the effort to make QP and testnet production ready will be continued. Our goal is to complete significant parts.
MultiSwap
The team worked on implementing Cudos network through MultiSwap node where the signature creation process takes place. The MultiSwap node now creates the signatures for EVM to EVM, EVM to Cudos, and Cudos to EVM.
The next priority item is the implementation of Settlement Engine. The This will provide a more precise and reliable trading experience, ensuring optimal execution while accounting for market fluctuations.
COSMWASM MultiSwap Integration
The audit review for SmartContracts is on the final stage of getting approved. Meanwhile, the team have made updates to MultiSwap to integrate it with Cudos Mainnet. The development is complete and internal testing has begin.
DAO Governance
DAO governance enables us to use Ferrum Network staking contracts in conjunction with snapshot.org to implement decentralize governance and establish a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).
