dWeb will be the first dapp built on MIX Blockchain. It will take the form of a desktop application installable on Mac, Windows and Linux. The package will include:

  • Ethereum full node software to connect to the MIX blockchain (either Geth or Parity)
  • IPFS
  • Elasticsearch
  • Node.js
  • Various MIX services, e.g. IPFS pining and indexing content
  • dWeb frontend — this will be accessible from the user’s web browser

Anticipated feature set:

  • account management
  • account profile
  • decentralized classification / content flagging
  • text publishing
  • image publishing
  • replying
  • retweeting / quoting
  • personal feeds
  • public feeds (like subreddits)
  • voting
  • moderation
  • full-text search

I will be following the release early, release often methodology.

dWeb will also serve as a reference application so other developers will know how to build on MIX.

Other news:

  • MIX can now be stored on both Android and iOS with Coinomi.
  • The MIX item storage infographic is finished and on the website.
  • C-CEX is now open for new registrations.
