Ambrosus: Explorer improvements, The first withdrawal of Atlas masternode rewards alongside confirmation of the successful implementation of the deterministic moving pointer (DMP) smart contract for reward consistency, Touch Bar app
Biweekly update 12th August — 26th August
Here we go again! Ambrosus team continued working on the sly — in their social networks only several updates can be found. However, Ambrosus is moving forward on its roadmap, which is evident from its recent progress update. The stability of the explorer has been enhanced with numerous bug fixes ensuring that it no longer gets stuck with large amounts of traffic. Node retirement scripts are in the process of being written. The technical team would like to improve the transfer of challenges from retired operators to more active operators to further incentivize active operators to perform on the network actively. A manual is being created for specific issues that have been reported revolving around the parity sync for Apollo masternodes. The team introduced the first withdrawal of Atlas masternode rewards alongside confirmation of the successful implementation of the deterministic moving pointer (DMP) smart contract for reward consistency. The sheltering of bundles on the network has stabilized across the different tiers of masternodes. Besides, the team has been working on planned partnerships: Ambrosus Business Developer, Radoslav Dragov has personally visited Vietnam for the past week, to begin preparations for an upcoming project, previously reported, focused on the dairy industry. Another current industrial project is focused on tracing a small percent of a much more abundant harvest of acerola, which is cultivated in South America. The community is alive in Telegram chat, despite the fact, there is a slight decrease in the number of subscribers in other social networks. Let Ambrosus team show what they are capable of! See you!

- According to Progress Report:
Technical Update: Bug Fixes, Masternode Onboarding and Much More!
- The stability of the explorer has been drastically improved with numerous bug fixes ensuring that it no longer gets stuck with large amounts of traffic.
- Node retirement scripts are in the process of being written. This is specifically useful for masternode operators who intend to run different masternodes over time and would like to access an easy-to-implement guide for retiring one masternode in order to onboard another.
- Preliminary research and testing has begun for certain crypto-economic fundamentals — the technical team would like to improve the transfer of challenges from retired operators to more active operators in order to further incentivize active operators to actively perform on the network.
- A manual is being created for certain issues that have been reported revolving around the parity sync for Apollo masternodes. The problems have been resolved, and now the only task remains to communicate this information.
- The tech team is pleased to announce the first withdrawal of Atlas masternode rewards alongside confirmation of the successful implementation of the deterministic moving pointer (DMP) smart contract for reward consistency. The sheltering of bundles on the network has stabilised across the different tiers of masternodes.
In the coming weeks, the Ambrosus tech team will be further developing its unique crypto-economic infrastructure, while a number of client demos continue to progress. Open source ecosystem development meanwhile, will continue to evolve across the globe, with updates expected from Japan, Vietnam, South America, and Belgium. As a reminder for the Ambrosus Community, the Ambrosus Ecosystem remains open to further entrepreneurial opportunities for both seasoned and new entrepreneurs! Such opportunities involve both IoT and blockchain support, development, and cooperation. Further updates on existing projects are expected in the coming weeks.

Ecosystem Development: From Vietnam to South America
- Ambrosus Business Developer, Radoslav Dragov has personally visited Vietnam for the past week, to begin preparations for an upcoming project, previously reported, focused on the dairy industry. The project will require expertise in blockchain, IoT, and cloud computing. The progress from the past week is expected to continue over through implementation testing, and larger-scale industrial testing in the coming weeks. The goal of this project is to ultimately redefine the quality of the Vietnamese dairy industry by tracing the exact grade and origin of all milk, across transportation links and processing facilities, with accurate and visible data on different parameters of the product. Lessons learnt from this project will be also valuable to all the external startups and entrepreneurs building businesses on top of Ambrosus open-source infrastructure.
- Another project is focused on the production of acerola. The fruit is a type of cherry, especially rich in Vitamin C and predominantly cultivated in South America. The current industrial project is focused on tracing a small percent of a much larger harvest of acerola. The comprehensive industrial adoption of the entire supply chain will be dependent upon the results of this project, and further discussions in the near future. Notably, previous Ambrosus expertise in working with raw commodities in supply chains lacking technical infrastructure has made the current acerola project fluid in its design and implementation, with mutual excitement from both sides.

Roadmap
According to Q&A:
At some point between these first two dates, new documentation will be released relating to a unique and fully-functional IoT solution, as well as more detailed insights into the Ambrosus Edge Gateway itself.
The Ambrosus developer team will intensively test Atlases running on the newly updated AMB-NET. Therefore the next one to two weeks will be dedicated to testing the new DMP algorithm on TEST-NET. If that works as desired, a final test will take place on AMB-NET, after which Wave 0 Atlases will go live. If all goes according to plan, Atlases should begin onboarding by the middle of May.
By the end of June, a selection of core components of the Ambrosus Ecosystem involving IoT devices, Edge-Gateways, Hermes Masternodes and communication protocols, as well as the Ambrosus Network with accompanying Atlas and Hermes Masternodes will be fully-operational and functioning. Developers will be able to build robust applications utilizing all of the components of the Ambrosus Ecosystem, while entrepreneurs will possess all of the tools, required documentation, and information on collaborating with Ambrosus, in order to be successful in building and scaling real-world solutions.
Horizon Development
- Masternode onboarding will continue at a consistent rate, with new operators being invited to join the test-net before accessing the main network. In the meantime, work will continue on the main-network architecture, the bridge and the explorer as well as with regards to a number of demo applications approaching completion!
- Stand by for more updates regarding industrial applications, as well as the long-awaited Ambrosus for Entrepreneurs complete guide!
- With a busy schedule for the coming months, the Ambrosus team will continue to post updates for the community as Ambrosus INATBA and the Supply Chain Working Group continue to evolve.
- Calls and further meetings are planned in the coming days with both partners from the United States and South America. Preparations are underway for further outreach in Asia.
- Further crypto-economic testing, different UI design evaluations, and additional information for Atlas operators via the Ambrosus Explorer.
- In the future, focus is devoted to bundle transitions within and between Masternodes on the Network to allow operators to seamlessly upgrade their masternode if they obtain enough Amber.
