Good day!
This week was very intense.
The main thing we've been working on - adaptation of the system for high loads in different directions.
First of all - CryptoKitties showed, that you can't be sure of anything in the Ethereum world 🙂
We had to change withdrawals/deposits system again to solve the problems with "not mined" transactions: default amount of blocks after which Ethereum thinks that transaction was not mined is 50. But it doesn't work now - for some transactions, you have to wait for 80-90 blocks. So, as we couldn't wait for the update of Ethereum clients, we had to implement such modifications by ourselves.
We think that it is the last fundamental update of the withdrawal system and currently it should work very smooth. The queue of transactions will be processed the next few days (I hope it will be done tomorrow).
The second step of adaptation for high load is microservices architecture. We are increasing potential capacity of our servers and infrastructure to fit high loads on our servers in the near future after the few big news.
The third thing - expiration date. As we stated last week - all asset-linked token holders should receive their LA and they have successfully received them. It was done in an automated way, so it will be done much faster on the next expiration date (will be announced soon).
The fourth thing is not very related to the development itself, but it has been one of the main activites this week - hiring. More than 30 interviews with high skilled developers from our weekly blockchain meetups give us a strong way to scale our dev team and to be capable of creating highly demanded features for our platform faster to make you happy 🙂
Thank you, stay tuned!

By the end of 2017, total ICO funding is going to exceed $5B with top-10 projects raising up to $250M from a single ICO event. The current run rate of over $600M per month surpasses traditional early-stage fundraising by a multiple, as the angel and seed-stage VC investments were running at less than $300 million per month.

Dear community members,
As we didn’t provide you with any dev updates over the last 2 weeks, this one will be longer than usually.
We primarily focused on adding new assets to our platform, so it was a big task for our tech team to prepare the platform for these listings.
The first main development is implementation of multi-balances for all users: you may have noticed a “more” button at the top of your wallets, where you can see the first 20 tokens now. You can already deposit them, while we’ll announce the withdrawal function a bit later once we set everything up.
Secondly, as we can now accept and process 20 new tokens, we created 20 new trading pairs with LA! As soon as our internal testers who are currently trading them in a test mode finalize their verification, we will enable public access to the new pairs.
The third development is connected with the listings: as we’ve started to list new assets on our platform, we have to create a CRM system to track them, to manage communication with asset owners, etc. Development of such system requires a great effort, but we’ve already achieved a meaningful progress in it, while our managers are currently working on selection of new assets that will be listed soon.
Fourthly, we improved deposits/withdrawals. As I said above, we can now accept ERC20 tokens, but currently it’s reasonable to only send us LA (as new trading pairs are not accessible for everyone right now). Further, coin withdrawals are now fully automated: there is a slight delay with ETH withdrawals right now, but I believe we’ll fix it today!
Fifthly, all verification requests are being processed, the only step left to complete the users verification is the final approval from our legal team. We’ll also deploy an enhanced and more user-friendly KYC form for new users soon! #devupdate

Good day!
Our weekly Dev Update is ready.
1. Ethereum integration update. As you could notice, problems with withdrawals in the last week occurred. It's related to major instability of global Ethereum nodes (probably because of ETH price growth) - Infura, MyEtherWallet, EtherScan - all these services were highly unstable during the last week. Our own reserve Ethereum-nodes system was implemented to tackle these problems. Currently, ETH withdrawals are processed as fast as possible.
2. ERC20 tokens integration. We prepared 5 new tokens for our platform and trading opening is scheduled to start in the beginning of next week. Withdrawals and deposits of these tokens are ready and will be working as tokens are launched.
3. Blockchain database implementation and internal accounting system. Being an exchange we have to track every transaction and double-check each figure related to balances/trading. We implemented our own relational database representing Ethereum transaction (BTC/BCH coming coon). It enables us to detect any problem related to trading and replenish our internal pools in a timely manner. Planned public API to the system will enable developers to analyze blockchain information and collaborate on new projects.
4. Internal tokenization CRM update and ICO-listings integration. As we want to provide a wide range of information about cryptoassets available for trading, few ICO-listings were integrated to disclose ongoing and upcoming token sales. A participation in token sales directly on the platform will soon be available.
5. Internationalization system for our translators. We are translating our platform to more languages to make it user-friendly for all range of our users. A translation-management system was integrated to localize the platform for users from Asian countries.
