Development status report — #5

Another two weeks have passed, and we are happy to share the latest aspects of our blockchain related progress:

We have constructed the APEX Federated Learning register module using Vyber (contract language like Python). This register module is used with AFL’s to aid the data requestor in searching for relevant data providers and verifying their identity
Implemented the encryption module of the APEX Desktop Client
We also refactored the interaction logic of the light node mode and MongoDB to increase fault tolerance, increasing stability and sustained performance.

This week we continued with the refactoring of the communication between the light node and the MongoDB module to further perfect its functioning
Reviewed the front end code of the APEX tracker & web wallet to integrate the Ledger wallet module
Completed the APEX Federated Learning handshake contract, started designing the transit encryption data structure of the predictive server. Our design requires both the APEX Federated Learning client and server to upload the transit data of the algorithm to the blockchain to prove their honesty (ie no manipulation of data)

The work done during weeks 34–35 relates to the following items on our roadmap:

1 — Mainnet Redeployment (Late Q3/early Q4'20)

2 — Desktop wallet (Q4'20)

Initial release of the desktop wallet (Late Q3 / Early Q4'20)
Second iteration of the desktop wallet — feature rich, built-in HW wallet support（Q4'20)

3 — APEX Federated Learning (Q1'21-Q2'21)
