📝 Weekly Progress Update — 30 July to 5 August 2018
Our team in Myanmar successfully completed usability testing in real farm conditions in Nay Pyi Taw. The torrential floods in Myanmar may delay CrossPay development work by 2 weeks. Our InfoCorp LATAM team attended Blockchain World Congress & Expo in Buenos Aires — the most important trade show in Latin America. Our dev team has started final stress testing for the validators/authorities nodes on Sentinel Chain. Our meetups in KL were a great success as our Project captivated new audiences in engaging evenings of panel discussions focused on blockchain for financial inclusion.
Here’s the full Weekly Progress Update.
A. Technical development
Sentinel Chain Development
Our development team has started:
(a) live testing of every contract flow that will be released in operation,
(b) developing the ERC721 contract livestock asset with Oracle ID that can be used to retrieve livestock details from the CrossPay network via CrossPay Oracle, and
(c) final stress testing for validators/authorities nodes on Sentinel Chain.
CrossPay Mobile App Development
The impact of torrential floods in Myanmar may delay CrossPay localisation phase by 2 weeks.
B. Country updates
Myanmar
Joint Pilot Project
Our team in Myanmar successfully completed a usability test in a real farm environment in Nay Pyi Taw. Usability testing is a method we use to evaluate user-centricity and is part of a very intensive localisation process. This involves evaluating the User Registration process from the point when the livestock owner begins the user registration to the point when he completes it — so our mobile app team can assess whether it was easy to create both the profiles of the livestock and the livestock owner on the mobile app — and eventually linking the two datasets on the tamper-proof tag.
Localisation is an intensive and painstaking process where our team is working around the clock to refine our Crosspay app based on continuous user feedback, language and cultural barriers.
Argentina
1 Aug: Our InfoCorp LATAM team attended Blockchain World Congress & Expo in Buenos Aires. A new initiative of Grupo Eletrolar, organizer of Eletrolar Show & Latin American Electronics, Blockchain World Congress & Expo is the most important trade show in Latin America and aims to be a reference in Latin America by exploring the concepts of bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, tokenization, etc. in an integrated way in a single event. Our team met with the most recognized companies in the industry and the main buyers of the technology sector and consumer electronics.
C. PR, Marketing, Community
Meetups
We consider our inaugural meetups in KL big successes.
30 July: At “ETHKL #2, our CEO and Founder Roy Lai captivated new audiences in an engaging evening of panel discussions focused on financial inclusion. Sentinel Chain’s use of livestock tokenisation towards solving financial exclusion never fails to inspire audiences and pique their curiosity about ways to get involved. Here’s a quick read up about the project: Sentinel Chain — a Bridge to Two Worlds
31 July: We were invited to showcase Sentinel Chain at Malaysia’s Monthly Blockchain KL Meetup held at Slate located at The Row in Kuala Lumpur’s commercial heart. Enjoying a reputation as Malaysia’s largest meetup of its kind, Roy presented our unique last mile solution to a vibrant, attentive and very warm audience of more than 130 community members and guests alike.
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.
