Part 1. Development Progress of InterValue.
1. Project progress
(1) We completed the design of the double-layer gossip networking, based on large-scale node layered network communication and topology construction and maintenance requirements.
(2) Target at light nodes’ anonymous transaction protection requirements, we designed anonymous communication mechanism that based on multi-hop multiple asymmetric encryption and completed corresponding detailed scheme.
(3) We basically completed the development of the dual-layer gossip networking demonstration and verification system and conducted preliminary tests on the above demonstration system through single-machine multi-port analog communication networking.
(4) We initiated the development of the anonymous transaction communication demonstration verification system and realized the multi-hop data forwarding and processing flow by using the web service request mode.
(5) We drafted a cross-chain communication solution based on smart contracts.
(6) We tested the Keccak code.
(7) We adjusted the Signature Parameter in NtruSign according to the whitepaper, and we completed the operation of NtruSign-251.
(8) We completed the development of the light node v2.0 interface.
2. Whitepaper
(1) Some general details modification .
3. Communities
(1) The member of InterValue English telegram groups increased to 52,408.
(2) The member of InterValue Chinese telegram groups increased to 18,827.
