Dragonchain: New roadmap, List of every roadmap goal Dragonchain hit in 2018, Improved Authentication System Release, Listing on Bittrex and Upbit
Monthly update 18th December — 15th January
Development
Also there are private repositories.
In a constant effort to become more efficient, scalable, and secure, Dragonchain is switching over to a new system for communication and authentication with a Dragonchain. Previously, in order to communicate with a Dragonchain, you would need to hit RESTful endpoints with a static API key in the authentication header, to a centralized API gateway, which would authenticate and route requests accordingly.

The community created this meme…
One of the most frequently asked questions in 2018 was, “When mainnet?” So, let’s just throw this in here one more time; there is no mainnet. As CMO Jonel Cordero explained, “Our chain consensus is a blockchain of blockchains, so we don’t need a mainnet. Think Windows for Blockchain.”
