Dear friends, we provide you with our latest news again! The last month was very successful in terms of the work of our IT team.
We implemented all the planned tasks significant for starting the platform; the development is on schedule, and we are preparing for starting SIMDAQ! This also means the start of marketing activity and the SMQ token market, as well as adding tokens to new exchanges.
The final works for the first iteration of the platform implementation and testing of its components will be completed in the near future. We begin to talk about the product and deploy marketing activities. In parallel, the team is working on the platform components, which will be presented in the second release in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Development News
Over the past month, we have made significant progress in developing the frontend and implemented the functionality of the following key elements:
- management of users’ contact and authorization data,
- subscription management,
- a feedback form,
- all pages of the simulator and session statistics,
- the main window of balance recharge,
- history of billing operations.
The interface of the money transfer form and the interface of the quests support system are at the active development phase currently.
In the server part of the project, we have fully completed the development of an integration module with the Waves Platform for the functions of transferring crypto-currency so that users should be able to replenish the platform of their balance with the SMQ and Waves tokens.
Writing of almost all adapters to exchanges, which data of quotations we plan to have in the SIMDAQ system at the time of starting, was completed.
The testing process is actively proceeding, and we correct the shortcomings of the previously developed backend modules.
Since July, in parallel with the work in the development and testing environment, we have gradually started to prepare an industrial zone, which we will open for users in the future. All the necessary servers, database management systems have been deployed. As we told earlier, we are developing databases on Postgree, and for a large amount of stock data, we use Google big table. The databases themselves have been also deployed, and their main directories (currencies, exchanges, tools, etc.) have been filled out. We set up the process of deployment of all subsystems for the industrial environment. This means that the developed code can be applied both to the development zone and to the industrial one.

Marketing News
We’ve planned activities aimed at heighten your interest in the product on the eve of its start. A plan of activities after starting the platform is also being developed currently. We are considering several options for Airdrop for the platform users. When the first release of the platform takes place, we will actively interact with our partner Waves Platform and its community.
In the coming weeks, one by one we activate programs supported by the stimulation of SMQ tokens and aimed at:
- increase in the number of subscribers of the project channels in social networks and on forums;
- creation of the content by bloggers about the product in blogs and forums on Reddit, Steemit, Medium and YouTube;
- distribution of the project content through reposts;
- collection of our users’ contact data for the subsequent dispatch of offers and updates about the product to them.
Our representation in the new media will be increased through our own channels at Reddit, Instagram, LinkedIn and the Waves Platform forum as well.
We plan to place manuals about the product including video and animation demonstrating its benefits and explaining how to use it.
We will continue to publish content about the crypto asset market for beginners. We will turn to the opinion leaders with a proposal to issue reviews about the product and to test it after its launch.
Interviews and comments of our advisors and partners will be a separate series of publications.
We confirm our plans to bring the SMQ token on Tidex on the eve of starting the product and to one of the leading exchanges immediately after its launch. Our negotiations with several of the largest exchanges are very successful; we are considering several alternatives for choosing an exchange. The start of the platform will also be the beginning of a more active circulation of the project’s tokens, which will be involved in transactions within the system.
The start of the SIMDAQ platform is an important stage, which we are all waiting for. But we are looking forward, as this is only the beginning — our system is designed with the capabilities and reserves for development, adding new elements and functions that will be in demand by users.
Together with you, we will change the trading in the digital asset market and make it easier, more accessible and interesting!
