Weekly Progress Update — 16–22 July 2018
A. Technical development
CrossPay Mobile App Development
We added the following new functions and started writing api test cases to capture -
(a) livestock gender and
(b) geolocation (latitude and longitude co-ordinates) of livestock, featuring properties such as “VerificationLocation”, “VerificationLongitude”, “VerificationLatitude”.
We also created the backend API test cases “DatabaseServiceTest and AccountCreationServiceTest”.
Our Infra team is testing the load balancer setup of our servers hosting the CrossPay mobile and CrossPay business backend API(s). This test is to ensure -
(a) distribution of client requests efficiently across our group of backend servers

© flexibility is provided to add or subtract servers as demand dictates

The following features are in development -
(a) with the admin portal login page UI completed, we are now in process of developing its integration with backend API required to complete login authentication
(b) with the dashboard page UI completed, we are now in process of developing the integration with backend api to fetch the data.
Sentinel Chain Development
We have completed the LCT_MMK erc20 Smart Contract to deploy into Sentinel Chain.

Sentinel Chain is a blockchain-based international marketplace for cross-border financial services and the world’s first platform to accept the use of livestock as collateral. Taking a unique approach to the last mile problem of financial inclusion, the Sentinel Chain model establishes livestock provenance through the creation of livestock insurance on blockchain — the registration of livestock provenance on blockchain provides the unbanked with a new opportunity: the real possibility of accepting livestock as ‘collateral’ for loans. Sentinel Chain is a project by InfoCorp Technologies
