Let’s dive into the highlights — including updates on uniqueness verification, testing, building the network explorer & more!

Uniqueness Verification Underway!

Node operators on ALICE will now be uniquely verified ahead of the PION node-drop. This process is very important not only for the security and decentralization of the Muon protocol but also for the fairness in reward distribution.

You can learn all about Uniqueness Verification and its importance to Muon with our Medium article, and begin getting verified with the instructions in our Gitbook here.

Gitcoin passport verification (as an additional option) is in the works, stay tuned!

Visualizing Muon: Network Explorer Plans Revealed

Until now the work of Muon has been hard to see with the naked eye, with almost all work taking place in the backend. However, the upcoming release of the Muon Explorer will make it possible for anyone to see what’s happening on the Muon Network in real time — including the number of active nodes, apps and details of requests and responses.

Check out our teaser here!

Rotating Subnets in Testing

The deployment app randomly selects nodes for each subnet for a certain period

Our regular readers are aware of our Random Rotating Subnets. The cost-effective scalability solution has now moved from concept and design into a system now in active testing!

As we prepare node operators for Pioneer, we’re continuing to ready more important features for the canary network!

TSS Implementation Audited

Exciting news from our tech team with our Threshold Signature implementation having undergone the first phase of an internal audit, and that report is now published!

This first phase was conducted to ensure both the security and correctness of our implementation, with a focus on cryptographic components of the scheme.

The report includes details about both the audit and updates that have been applied to the code to improve on any points identified by the audit. Read the report in full here.

THENA Reveals Upcoming Roadmap

THENA Alpha (Perps trading), and THENA Warp (Launchpad Accelerator) and a whole lot more is coming from our friends at Thena! Having established strong credentials since their launch, they’re now targeting the next phase of growth as the native liquidity layer on BNB Chain.

We look forward to continuing our work together to achieve this goal. You can find out more on the roadmap right here.

DinoX Growth Campaign

A 30-day growth campaign means plenty of news for fans of our long-time friends at DinoX. Partnership announcements, competitions, product releases and other events have headlined their calendar throughout most of May, and we look forward to seeing what might be next up their sleeve!

Muon is an innovative decentralized oracle network (DON) that enables dApps to make their off-chain components decentralized, thereby significantly broadening their operational scope. By incorporating Muon, the manner in which decentralized applications store, process, and access data will be fundamentally transformed, redefining the landscape of decentralized systems.
