The Liquidity Network Update on development, marketing and business — Issue 1
Issue 1 of the Liquidity Newsletter, 21 August 2018. 中文版。
Dear Community,
The last months have been quite busy for the Liquidity.Network team as we’ve been working around the clock on the development and business advancements of the project. At the end of June, whilst still running our ICO, we released the Liquidity Web Wallet on the Ethereum mainnet. A week later NOCUST, the academic paper complementing our existing REVIVE, was made public. Halfway through July saw the launch of Liquidity.Canvas — our creative side project that later hosted Liquidity’s first Community Competition, and also the release of the Liquidity Wallet Mobile app (for Android and iOS) on the mainnet. In the meantime, we’ve been publishing new exercises every week on our educational platform Achievement.Network, which is a step by step introduction to blockchain programming, already trusted by world-class universities.
We are therefore excited to introduce you to our bi-weekly update, where you can follow Liquidity’s development and give us your precious feedback. In this first edition, you will find a brief summary of all that we have been doing up until this point. Enjoy the read!
Arthur and the Liquidity Team
Community Update
August 13th — 17th
- The team have been prioritising and making improvements to the UI/UX of the wallet.
- Our 1st Community Competition which called upon participants to create a work of art on Liquidity.Canvas (https://canvas.liquidity.network) came to a close on the 15th. We got 44 submissions that have been logged and the top ten will be put to a community poll on Monday, Aug 20.
- Achievement Network (https://achievement.network) continues to grow and its scope increase, new exercises were added on Struct and Optimisations.
August 6th — 10th
- Improved the faucet which allows users to receive a small amount of Wei to experience the capabilities of the wallet without depositing.

- Crafting a Bitcoin token in Ethereum: Arthur has published with his co-authors at Imperial College London the latest design on how to make a Bitcoin token in Ethereum: https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/643.pdf
Such novel techniques will significantly improve trustless cross chain capabilities. The whole blockchain ecosystem will benefit from such interoperability solutions, such that different blockchains will not only compete but rather develop healthy synergies moving the usability of blockchains to the next level.
July 30th — August 3rd
- The Liquidity App iOS available for testing.
- Second week of Canvas.Liquidity.Network community competition — due to the high level of participation we have enlarged the board and reduced the maximum number of pixels per checkout to 1500px.

- New exercises on Achievement.Network covering Mapping and Enum.

- Halfway through July saw the launch of Canvas.Liquidity.Network — a little side quest by the team to show off the capabilities of the Liquidity wallet.

- Mainnet Mobile App for Google Playstore was released!
July 8th — 14th

A faucet was implemented to allow everyone to retrieve a small amount of wei for free so to experience the app first hand without needing to deposit.

July 1st — 7th

流动性.网络(Liquidity Network)在开发，市场营销和商业方面的更新。
亲爱的社区，
流动性.网络(Liquidity.Network)团队度过了相当忙碌的几个月。我们不分昼夜地忙于项目的开发和商业进展。在六月底，在仍旧进行首次货币发行的同时，我们在以太坊(Ethereum)主网上发布了流动性(Liquidity)网络钱包。一星期后作为我们现有的REVIVE 的补充的学术论文 NOCUST 被公开发表。在七月中旬我们启动了 Liquidity.Canvas — 我们的创新项目。这个项目后来主持了流动性(Liquidity)的首次社区竞赛, 并且还在主网上发布了流动性(Liquidity)钱包手机应用(为 Android 和 iOS)。同时我们还每周一直在我们的教育平台 Achievement.Network 上发布新的练习，这是个已被世界级大学信任的对区块链编程的逐步介绍。
因此我们很激动地向你们推出我们的半月更新，在这里你们可以跟踪流动性(Liquidity)的发展并向我们提供你们宝贵的反馈。在这第一版里，你能找到对我们到现在为止所做的一切的简要总结。祝阅读愉快！
Arthur及流动性(Liquidity)团队
