Augur – Prediction Market
  • Blog: AUGUR DEVELOPMENT UPDATE – MAY 17TH.

Casper (Dev Channel) – Proof of Stake Protocol
  • VItalik's formula for Casper protocol utility (the idea behind this is to penalize validators quadratically rather than linearly, which more naturally fits how they are adversely impacting the utility of the protocol):

    "U = E[log(t_finalized - t_sent))] where t_sent is that time a transaction is sent, t_finalized is the time that it is finalized, and E is expected value"

  • Note: Vlad and Vitalik had a really detailed (long) and informative conversation on the above protocol utility ideas, I'd reccomend scrolling up on the Gitter channel and reading the whole thing.
  • Casper Mind Map, courtesy of Vlad Zamfir.
  • Tweets from Loi Luu on a Practical PoS Delegation Protocol.

Digix – Asset (Gold) Backed Tokens
  • Blog Post: Digix engages SmartPool for Digix core contract security audit

  • KC Chng: "DigixDao governance will be worked upon after the launch of dgx 2.0. That's when u can start pledging dgds on proposals and receiving dgx as a reward for the work done for digixdao."

  • KC Chng: "There will be a coin lock mechanism for the quarterly pledges, if they are not locked, it would mean they are transferable and have not participated in curating the proposals. Hence those dgds have not participated in the proposals, and hence no fees are due to those dgds."

Status – Mobile Ethereum OS

"In the case of Status specifically, we’re trying to solve a very different problem; the misalignment of incentives that exist in most software networks today, and creating a users-as-stakeholders socio-economic network that will govern the client itself (we’ll have more info on this coming next week, along with the exact utility SNT provides)."
