Progress of Photon
Dear community,
The team is currently working on several stages of the Photon code.
Improving logic and Architecture:
- Identification and correction of critical bugs;
- Analysis and writing actions for validators;
It can be said that closed testing and writing code are being conducted in parallel. We are testing and identifying the blocker and critical bugs/errors in order to run a full Testnet for the community and already look for bugs/errors with a insignificant severity - major and minor bugs, which in general will not interfere with the holistic work of the Blockchain. This work is difficult, complex, voluminous, and if to consider the new Architecture, where validators, snapshots, etc. appear, which is a kind of new and not fully studied by the world, it takes more time for programmers, because if you do something, you need to do it well.
Given the emergence of validators that will serve as the guarantor of the transaction, we need to check all possible points, make all the actions and steps, both important and unlikely, the whole coding is based on this. We are working on all sorts of scenarios and make changes, complementing. This is very important, the team passes both positive and negative scenarios, thereby describing new possible actions for validators.
Without all this work, we can not guarantee to our community and to ourselves full Mainnet operation. We want to avoid the possibility of the Mainnet falling and its hacking.
