Web App mobile and invites activation in Idena Explorer

My Idena page of the Web App has been adapted for mobile devices. Now using Idena on the go is even easier!

Idena Explorer got a new Invite Activation Progress chart that shows how invites are activated day by day through the epoch. Have a look and don’t forget that the earlier your invitee activates the invite, the more reward you will get.

Node: better performance and faster sync

Recent node update included the following changes:

  • Improved performance;
  • New nodes use the genesis block of the last fork for faster sync;
  • Added CLIENT TYPE property that indicates the type of user node (see node type statistics below)

Node type stats

Nodes on VPS — users running their nodes on VPS

Built-in nodes — users of the Idena Desktop App with build-in node

Shared nodes (web) — Web App users renting shared nodes via marketplace

N/A — users running outdated versions of nodes (VPS/built-in nodes)

Unknown shared nodes (web ) — Web App users who connect to shared nodes that are not listed in the Idena shared nodes marketplace

The data is given for the latest validation. The worst results can be seen on legacy node versions and unknown node versions. To have smooth and reliable validation ceremony experience, we recommend using VPS or built-in nodes if you have fast Internet connection and good router, or the nodes listed in the node marketplace in the official Idena Web App in other cases.

Training Validation results

Throughout Epoch #76, 416 identities successfully passed the training validation.

Exchange listing poll

On November 8, a poll on Telegram and Twitter was launched to receive the feedback from the community about the exchange for the next listing. We will continue the negotiations and will decide in favor of the most feasible option, taking into consideration all the factors, including community preferences.

Congratulations everyone for passing the First Idena Sharding Validation!

Idena community is staying strong all over the world and we can’t thank you enough for all your effort to spread the word about Idena Network.

Idena Community reacts to «Worldcoin»

During this last epoch we saw the announcement of Worldcoin, a project that made quite some buzz in the decentralized identity space. Idena community answered well by reminding how far ahead is Idena Network by not requiring any personal data, let along biometric data, without a centralized data collecting failure point. As Santiago Siri said: the point of decentralized identity is also allowing everyone to audit permissionlessly how the identity was granted.

A great news is that we are seeing rising interest toward decentralized identity and proof-of-person protocols. Our community plays a crucial role regarding the promotion of Idena, and a lot of amazing discussion led by Idena members on different social networks, let’s keep going!
