Welcome to our development overview for Q3 2018. These overviews are intended to give a sense of how we are progressing with each of the development goals outlined in our ICONOMI in 2018 roadmap blog post. We will continue to release periodic development updates as the platform evolves.
Q3 development highlights include the first direct purchase of BLX with euro using the fiat gateway (in beta) and the release of the public API.
Take a look at the graphic below for a quick synopsis, or read on for more details.
DAA Managers
As we mentioned in the Q2 Development Overview, our focus for Q3 was larger releases critical to our future growth. Our key activities included:
- The release of our new trading engine along with the rebalance submission page to enable faster rebalancing.
- The fiat gateway is in production beta and currently available only to a small group. We also made the first direct purchase of BLX with euro using the fiat gateway, just in time for the end of Delta Summit. You can see it in action here. We will be scaling up the fiat gateway to more users during Q4.
- Our public API has been released. For full details, read the docs.
For Q4, we will continue to follow the established roadmap, with some changes:
- We have removed ICONOMI credit cards from the 2018 roadmap due to a lack of suitable third-party providers.
- We will be handling the ICN to eICN conversion process and changing the platform fees, which will be paid in ETH.
Possibilities for risk reduction
The TrueUSD stablecoin was added to the list of supported digital assets in Q2 to help DAA managers reduce risk. Further methods for risk reduction may be considered in the future.
DAA Management Phase 2
- Rebalancing submission automation — In production in Q3.
- Create DAA submission automation — Waiting for implementation.
- Manager reports — The first exportable CSV report on assets under management and net asset value was released to production in Q2.
DAA tokenization process optimization
Some internal steps will be optimized to ensure that the tokenization process is seamless. The process will probably be optimized as part of one of the next DAA tokenizations.
Support for company accounts
- Internally flagging an account as a company with company name — In production.
- Withdrawal two-factor authentication — In production.
- Multiple users linked to the same company account — In production in Q3.
- Different roles for different users managing company accounts, including multisignature processes — In production in Q3.
DAA Management Phase 3
- User country report — DAA managers will be able to see where holders of their DAA are located, which will enable them to make better decisions about which countries to focus on.
- Referral tracking — DAA managers can set up multiple referral codes and track how many users register using each of these codes. This makes it easier for managers to track their marketing efforts across different channels. Referral tracking is currently in beta release in production.
