Roadmap
* roadmap items and timing are subject to change.
First release of Semux Core software with Semux BFT consensus, draft specifications, public testing including alpha test, beta test and various Release Candidate networks.
Free Airdrop accomplished several things for the project: enlarged the Semux network and pre-seeded it with validators for Mainnet, helped to decentralize the initial distribution of SEM coins, and distributed coins into the hands of people who are interested in participating in the project.
Semux Core 1.0 codebase has been finalised and the network was successfully launched.
A pool allows a group of people who do not have enough SEM to join their votes to have enough voting power to create new blocks as validators.
SEM is the native cryptocurrency of Semux network. It has 3 main use cases: it used in governance and BFT consensus algorithm (voting for delegates); it is a fuel for running decentralised apps; it is a store of value and mean of payment.
In 2018 it was listed in STEX exchange. And as of 2019, SEM is trading in 4 different exchanges: Stex, Citex, Tokok and p2pb2b.
Semux JS SDK allows to securely interact with Semux blockchain and thus build both client/browser and server side applications. It's supported in Node.js and most modern browsers.
In December 2018 the virtual machine has been successfully activated in Testnet enabling smart contracts in Solidity. Same release featured HD-wallets.
Semux 2.0 features Virtual Machine, which has been successfully activated in the block #1,640,591, HD-wallets and FAST_SYNC protocol.
This will allow to use existing toolset and simplify the frontend development for Dapps.
Semux Keeper is an extension that allows users to securely interact with Semux-enabled web services from the browser. Private keys are encrypted and stored within the extension and cannot be accessed by online dApps and services, making sure that users' funds are protected from malicious websites.
Light cross-platform wallet to speed up onboarding of new SEM users without the need to download heavy blockchain unless they are validators.
Light SEM wallets to allow voting and SEM transfers from Android and iOS devices.
Public bounty program to incentivize development of new consumer-oriented apps on top of Semux platform.
This release features on-chain governance and DAOs with decentralized control of funds as their basis.
Further governance of the network and upgrades to the software or blockchain state are left to the community.
