2020 was a great year for Decentr from our completed token sale in July and culminating in our MVP v1.0 release just six months after our initial fundraise. We have spent significant efforts in building a fully decentralised blockchain and network along with a functional user layer that sits upon it. The framework of our current browser extension for both Firefox and Chrome will serve as the platform for both the Decentr mainnet and full Decentr Web Browser release.
Notable 2020 Partnerships and Announcements:
Token Sale Completion
Cerberus Release
Chainlink Partnership
DEC Bitmax Listing
Gather Partnership
Frontier Partnership
Integration of Cosmos & Tendermint
Bitmax Pre-Staking
Vulcan Release
Increased Token Locks
TomoChain Partnership
Charon Release
MVP v1.0 Release
As we now move into 2021 we have detailed all upcoming milestones and how they play into the Decentr ecosystem below.
Q1
Users will also be able to curate their dHub page by opting in to other users in the ecosystem, and to follow posts and dPosts made by other users and their followers.
dWallet Functionality Upgrades
The Decentr dWallet will be upgraded to support send and receive functionality so that users can run validator nodes and send and receive testnet DEC.
Community Testnet Validators
Validator nodes serve various functions on the network, such as general transfer of value (testnet DEC), user registrations, changes to user profiles, PDV values of users (initial PDV values, increasing or decreasing user PDV values, etc) and writing/storing data to the blockchain.
Testnet Blockchain Explorer
Blockchain explorer will have all transactions on the Decentr blockchain (DEC and PDV ) visible to the general public including transactions such as likes, posts and cookies data, all of which will increase PDV.
Enhanced PDV Functionality
Additional AI and machine learning functionality will be added to the Decentr PDV algorithm. Users will also have increased abilities to inspect their highest performing actions on Decentr
PDV, ADV, DDV Analytics
PDV is ‘Personal Data Value’ that returns a user’s secure data as a personalised exchange rate between currencies, while ADV is the ‘Aggregate Data Value’ across the platform, with DDV the method by which value is transferred within the Deconomy. The analytics show users the value of their PDV in relation to DEC, ADV and DDV, and will be visible on the dashboard section that is currently shown as “coming soon”.
Q2
Mainnet Launch
Mainnet will have all the functionalities of the testnet but improved in speed/robustness, and using real DEC as a utility token to run validator nodes and be rewarded for staking in real DEC. Built using Cosmos and Tendermint, Decentr will transition onto our own native chain that validates transactions on the mainnet such as liking, posting, dPosting, surfing data and valuing PDV.
Standalone Beta Browser for Windows
Standalone browser will have the functionality of a commercial grade browser with Decentr blockchain integrated right out of the box.
Inbuilt VPN
The built-in VPN offers superior privacy and security, and with very fast speed. Our VPN works with basic settings for ease of use.
Inbuilt Ad Blocker
Able to block upto 99% of ads while not preventing website content being displayed, so user engagement is not interrupted and PDV is accrued for all user engagement with external sites.
Tor Integration
The Tor Protocol is included within the browser. This means that a user can open .onion sites at any time without constantly needing to be connected to the Tor network.
Q3
Mainnet Validators & Delegated Staking
Validators on the mainnet will be validating transactions while earning real DEC as part of the mainnet validators/staking program.
Full Browser Release for Windows & Mac OSX
Standalone browser becomes fully available for Windows and Mac OSX with all the functionalities the same across operating systems.
dWallet Native & ERC20 Integration
dWallet will have native DEC support along with all ERC 20 tokens ( future and present), integrated with ease of transactions on the Decentr blockchain and Ethereum blockchain
Q4
Multiple Chain Integrations
Once integrated, TomoChain and Chainlink transactions with Decentr will be visible in the explorer. This means Chainlink and TomoChain are accessible from our UI so users don’t have to go back and forwards between different explorers. This will provide TomoChain users the benefits of PDV earned on the Decentr ecosystem, meaning Dapp developers on TomoChain can use Decentr’s PDV as a metric for both DeFi Lending and Social Reputation. Integrating Chainlink’s decentralized oracles will allow users to bridge their PDV, as a reputation/credit score index for Web3, to any blockchain environment.
dWallet Multiple Chain Integration
dWallet will have native DEC support along with all ERC 20 tokens ( future and present), integrated with ease of transactions on the Decentr blockchain and Ethereum blockchain, additionally TRC21 assets and other chains that Decentr integrates with will be supported on the dWallet.
dEX Integration/Data Portal
A data exchange service for trading opt-in user data to data buyers. Data sets are accessible via our UI portal to data buyers while data sellers receive DEC for all data sold.
This feature will allow users to transfer fiat between Decentr accounts, using DEC to unlock the native exchange gateway.
This feature will allow users to loan out any unused DEC in their dWallets and achieve a preferential API based on their PDV.
As always, stay tuned for further updates, integrations and partnerships. We welcome your feedback and look forward to interacting with you on our current MVP and beyond!
