FLETA has taken some giant steps into becoming a leader in the Dapp development space over the last few months. In this article, we are going to recap exciting progress happening in and around FLETA.
#1 Beta Testnet
The FLETA beta testnet v1.0 officially launched on March 5, 2019. This testnet release marks a significant milestone for FLETA as the first step of our project toward a mainnet and as a monumental landmark on our technology roadmap.
Through the first iteration of the beta testnet, we want to demonstrate how FLETA can fulfill its promise of being a blockchain platform that is developer friendly with long-term scalability, high throughput, decentralization, and security. We have achieved a peak throughput of 20,000 transactions per second.
To go along with the launch of FLETA’s testnet, our code is now officially open to the public for viewing through GitHub.
The overview of the testnet is as follows:
- No. of Chains: 2
- No. of Formulators: 42
- Testnet: testnet.fleta.io
- Block Explorer: https://explorer.fleta.io/
#2 Game Release
To give people a taste of the kind of Dapps that can run on the FLETA platform, we released Version 1 of the ‘FLETA City Simulation’ game, which was released along with our beta version. The game was playable on any web browser (preferably Google Chrome). You can check out the leaderboard of FLETA City Version1 here. A huge congratulations to all the winners!
We have a Version 2 of the game coming out as well and our developers are hard at work to give you a bigger and more enjoyable experience than before. The game will be out soon so keep an eye out for it!
#3 START Hack Hackathon
FLETA, along with nine global companies in various industries including Microsoft, Volvo, and Bosch, took part in the 4th edition of START Hack as case partners. Described as the most entrepreneurial Hackathon in Europe, it took place between 8–10 March 2019 at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. Our very own Sam Jeong (CTO), Peter J (CFO), and James Song (Head of Marketing Strategy) were at the venue to support the teams.
Six teams chose the FLETA challenge case. The winning team came up with the idea of selling pixels and putting the transactions on the blockchain. This will be used for fundraising or charity purpose since it offers full transparency and traceability of all the funds involved.
#4 Ambassadors Campaign
Our team has been working tirelessly to build an active community which trusts our vision. To further strengthen our community and to spread the word about the FLETA platform, we announced the launch of our Ambassador Program. We are looking for 10 total ambassadors. Till now, we’ve already hired 1 Developer, 2 Technical Writers, 3 Social Media Specialists, 1 Visual Creator, and 1 Community Growth Manager.
#5 Bounty Program
We are planning to launch our Bounty version 2 soon. New tasks are going to be added and a majority of them will be about the beta testnet and FLETA City Version 2. The tasks are going to be complicated but extremely interesting! In the previous Bounty program, we gave away $300,000 worth of FLETA tokens.
