On April 12, Bytom in-depth strategic partner 8BTC signed a strategic cooperation agreement To promote the development of Bytom assets and East Lake Big Data Asset Exchange. This signing is an important step for Bytom to put “asset blockchainization” to ground.
The two parties will take advantage of their strengths in respective fields, deepen. technological innovation, actively expand applications in the relevant areas of the blockchain, and realize the application of data-wise scenario of data assets trading and circulation.
Wuhan East Lake Big Data Exchange Center Co., Ltd. was established in July 2015. It is the first big data exchange center in Central China, which is approved by the Wuhan Municipal Government and is the first domestic service organization to explore and implement the “Government Data Operation Solution.” with registered capital of 60 million yuan. East Lake Big Data Trading Center, the first transaction platform initiated by Hubei Provincial Party Standing Committee, Secretary of Wuhan Municipal Party Committee Ruan Chengfa and Wuhan Mayor Wan Yong, was formally written into the Wuhan City Government Work Report and became one of the key pioneered projects in Wuhan “Internet+” industry.
Adhering to the development concept of “Activating Data Assets and Driving Industrial Innovation”, it is committed to providing one-stop big data solutions for government agencies and vertical market sectors.
Bytom’ first step to land, and it’s just the beginning!
With the first quarter of the year behind us, it is time to take a look at the Republic Protocol Roadmap, and what has been achieved. All of our milestones for the first quarter are complete, and we are already well on our way to finishing our milestones for the second quarter.
In March, we also began the preview of the Darknodes. We have been collecting feedback from our community, and have been making improvements to the operator experience; the biggest being clearer instructions and wider platform support.
Q1 Milestones
All milestones have been successfully completed!
P2P network
The P2P network allows traders and Darknodes to discover each other . The official Go implementation of this is completed, and has an extensive test suite.Atomic Swaps
Atomic swaps make up the Republic Protocol settlement layer. Traders are able to swap tokens without needing to trust one another. The official Solidity and bitcoin implementations are complete. They have test suites, and cross-chain trades have been successfully executed.Pools
Darknodes are organized into pools, to improve the efficiency of the order matching engine by decreasing network complexity, and increasing parallelism. At the same time, random sampling is used to maintain security, and the Ethereum blockchain is used for global convergence on the view of pools. The official Solidity implementation, and official Go reference implementation, are complete and have been deployed during our Darknode preview with great success.Registry contracts
For security, Traders and Darknodes are required to provide a good behavior bond. This provides them with an identity that is used by the P2P network, and Pools, and can be verified by anyone. The Solidity smart contracts are complete, and have extensive test suites.Q2 Milestones
We have completed many of the milestones set for the second quarter.
Orderbook
The Orderbook is completed. It is also no longer implemented using Ethereum smart contracts. This means that the opening and closing of orders in Republic Protocol is not bound by the speed of Ethereum, and can happen as fast as Darknodes can perform the secure multi-party computations. Our research team has been focusing on improving the speed of order matching, with the goal of scaling to thousands of orders per second.Secret Sharing & Computation
Secret sharing, and secure multi-party computations, forms the backbone of Republic Protocol. They were successfully demonstrated early in the first quarter and, since then, have undergone lots of optimization and improvement.Official Republic Protocol Darknodes
The Darknode preview that began in March uses bootstrap Darknodes officially maintained by the Republic Protocol team. These are currently under improvements, based on the results collected from the preview, and will become the bootstrap Darknodes for the Federation Zero Testnet.Trading Terminal
The Trading Terminal is an interface through which Traders can open orders, cancel orders, and settle orders. This is currently under development. Additionally, we are developing a Trading API for easy automated trading which is almost complete.Verifiable Secret Sharing
Verifiable secret sharing, and verifiable secure multi-party computations, is under development and will be deployed into the Federation Zero Testnet once it is completed. It will include a smart contract for slashing the bond of malicious Darknodes.Other HighlightsDarknodes can now earn fees in ETH and ERC20s, they are no longer restricted to earning only REN. Likewise, Traders now pay fees in the tokens they are trading. This provides a lower barrier for Traders, and diverse earnings for Darknodes.The Hyperdrive consensus engine has been developed for achieving high-speed order matching confirmation (after an order is matched, the match needs to be confirmed). It is capable of confirming thousands of order matches per second. More details about Hyperdrive will be coming in future posts, including its more general application beyond Republic Protocol.So what happens next?
The Republic Protocol development team is focused on the delivery of the Federation Zero Testnet, which will available to the public this quarter. The preview of the Darknodes was our first step towards this goal.
Our next step is getting our Trading Terminal, and API, into the hands of testers. At the same time, we will be continuing to improve the performance of our order matching engine.
We are looking forward to a productive second quarter, and to the release of the Federation Zero Testnet. I would also like to extend a huge thanks from our development team to our community, for testing, giving feedback, and always being willing to have interesting discussions with us about our work!

We’ve got some exciting news to share today.
Civil, along with the and the (EJC), today announced the Engaged Journalism Accelerator. It’s a new program focused on supporting sustainable European journalism initiatives.
This is a significant moment for us; it marks our first, formal foray into the European market — and certainly not the last. Civil will contribute €450,000 as part of a larger €1.7 million program that will be overseen by the EJC. This will enable the EJC to offer twice as many grants to promising European newsrooms that are focused on sustainability and reader engagement, and which need of additional funding to get off the ground. The initiative was born out of the EJC’s extensive research into revenue and sustainability trends. It aims to bolster a growing European ecosystem for empowered, independent journalism that has been pioneered by the likes of De Correspondent and The Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
The Engaged Journalism Accelerator will include a €600,000 grant program (€300,000 of which will come from Civil’s grant, plus a matching €300,000 from the EJC) for 10–15 independent European news organizations. These grants will support emerging newsrooms with a commitment to diversity and engaging readers — including those focused on the underserved local journalism market.
The accelerator program will hold two separate rounds of open calls, in October 2018 and February 2019, respectively. Eligible applicants will have already established a viable journalism project with a dedicated commitment to sustainability and community engagement. The Engaged Journalism Accelerator will provide grants to those applicants it deems to best embody those ideals. The program will adhere to the following principles:
Coach for successCapture and share real case studiesConnect humans, help them tell storiesSupport skills beyond journalism (business, legal, HR, product)Responsible grants (not too big, not too small)Tie grants to sustainability and business innovationCommitment to great user experience for grantees (easy application, clear criteria)Encourage experimentationInvest in people over projectsAid the development of diverse newsrooms and audiencesGrantees Will Have the Option to (Re-) Launch on Civil
Newsrooms accepted into the program will have the option to launch or re-launch on Civil. It will by no means be a requirement: our goal is on supporting a more sustainable ecosystem for European journalism, wherever it comes from. For those newsrooms that do wish to join Civil, we’ll also offer additional grants of CVL tokens and provide on-boarding support.
This partnership has been in the works for a while. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Adam Thomas at the EJC, Jeff Jarvis at the News Integrity Initiative and the many, many others who made this possible. As our global community has grown, we’ve received many questions about our pre-launch plans for different markets. This is the first in a series of partnerships and First Fleet newsrooms that we’ll announce prior to launch that underscore our commitment to being a truly global network that reflects our larger community from day one.
A formal call for submissions will follow in the coming months. Those that wish to apply for this program can learn more about next steps from .
