Polis Project Weekly Updates (01/01 to 01/07)
Polis Core
A new version of Polis Core is in the works, v1.6.0. This version will address some issues that we found in the previous release, and will also introduce:
— Long Living Masternode Quorums (LLMQ): is a deterministic subset of the global deterministic masternode list. The main task of an LLMQ is to perform threshold signing of consensus related messages.
— ChainLocks: a technology for near-instant confirmation of blocks and finding near-instant consensus on the longest valid/accepted chain.
— Proof-of-service ban for masternodes (PoSe): masternodes that fail PoSe verification will then be removed from the valid masternode subset.
This version is realizing its final tests and will be released shortly.

PolisPay
The team has been working on the next PolisPay release, v8.2.0. This release will address some issues that we found in the previous versions and introduce the long-awaited dark mode, alongside some minor bug fixes.
Due to some unmet App Store guidelines regarding in-app purchases, gift cards will be temporarily disabled only on the iOS version until further notice. The team is currently evaluating and working on different possibilities to bring back this feature to the platform, which we will provide an update about this situation next week.
The update will be released with the following notes:
— Introducing dark mode on the PolisPay app, all black everything.
— Disclaimer: The gift cards will be disabled temporarily only on the iOS version of the app.
— UX and UI improvements.
— Bug fixes.
This update will be released shortly, with an estimated release for this week.
Partnership announcement
We are glad to announce the inclusion of ColossusXT to the PolisPay payment platform.
ColossusXT has focused on providing a privacy-centric, energy-efficient, decentralized blockchain that allows its users to perform instant and anonymous transactions. We have found great potential in the PolisPay project, and we believe this breakthrough will have a profound impact on ColossusXT users and the whole crypto community.

PolisPay: UnionPay cards
Regarding the PolisPay cards, there are some updates with the on-going process we would like to share:
— The UnionPay cards have arrived at our office.

Olympus Protocol
The Olympus protocol was born when the Polis Core team realized the necessity of innovating on the blockchain technology field. The protocol inherits the fundamentals of the Bitcoin, Dash, and PeerCoin protocols, with some minor improvements.
With a new base code, the Olympus protocol seeks to give the development team the opportunity of innovating on uncharted aspects of the blockchain technology.
Significant progress has been made regarding the Olympus network, the Olympus testnet is 60%, and we will soon begin testing on the pre-alpha testnet. Once we launch the testnet, we will release the technical paper.
