After having been gone for almost 3 weeks I am finally back and I think its time for a short update as a lot of things happened in the last weeks:
1. We had a strategy summit in Berlin where we settled all remaining open discussions around things like tokenomics, and our vision.
I was asked to not share any details as we are planning to communicate this updated and extended vision in a "proper way" in the coming months, but I have to say that I am extremely happy with the outcome of these discussions and I couldn't have hoped for a better result (it ...
feels like we are finally fully aligned around what we can and want to build).
2. We finished the rewrite of the consensus related parts of our prototype and started preparing the integration into the general node framework (github.com/iotaledger/gos…).
There are still a few ...
... broken unit and integration tests but for the first time since starting the final rewrite (almost 3,5 months ago), the node actually compiles and runs in a network.
3. The goshimmer and the hornet team ceased to exist and joined forces to form a new and bigger ...
... engineering team that now works together on getting coordicide "mainnet ready".
Apart from debugging the current prototype, this mainly means to further clean up the codebase, increase code quality, documentation and test coverage + integrate the decisions we took in ...
... Berlin before merging the finished packages into the hornet code base.
I am extremely happy to finally work together with @der_muXxer and @alexsporn as these guys are top notch engineers and for the very first time since I joined IOTA we no longer have to split ...
... ourselves up between research and engineering.
There is still some work ahead of us but from now on, we will start to see the emergence of a final and unified code base that sees regular improvements ultimately leading to the first publicly deployed version of coordicide.
If you didn't follow the progress of IOTA, yet - now is the time to actually take notice!
