What does this proposal cover?
This poroposal covers PIVX Core development expenses for the second quarter (Apr-Jun) of 2021, including Core developers salaries, infrastructures, app UX designer and bug-bounty reserve.
What is the proposal funding?
The PCD proposal is submitted by random-zebra and furszy. We have been in charge of the development and maintenance of the PIVX reference client (including the research and implementation of new features, the ordinary maintenance/testing, as well as the design of counter-measures, during network issues or attack attempts) for the latest 2 years (charts link).
Here is a brief list of the latest deliverables, chronologically ordered:
- zc smaller Signature of Knowledge research & impl.
- zc bulletproof research & impl.
- zc light node protocol research & impl.
- fake stake report.
- zc wrapped serials exploit.
- zc final exploit research.
- zPIV deactivation.
- zc v2 public spends.
- design and implementation of the "cold staking" protocol.
- zc v1 public spends using Schnorr Signatures.
- v3.4 PoS time drift solution.
- new MN messages signatures.
- new v4.0 PoS time protocol.
- v4.0 brand new GUI wallet (design & impl).
- Hierarchical deterministic wallet implementation.
- tier two network revamp.
- privacy protocol research.
- v5 new SHIELD data protection network protocol implementation.
- Sapling wallet and keys manager.
- budget payment and cold staking open attack vectors fixes.
- huge performance improvements v4.1 / v5.1, network stabilization and overall software fixes everywhere in the sources.
- v6 research and on-going development (Deterministic Masternodes, new special transactions types, new Masternodes proof of service, budget proposals GUI work, budget system overhaul, Chain-locks, Shield Masternodes rewards)
- and much more.. including all of the non-core work over the explorers, SPMT/PET4L and different net/wallet libraries written in other languages.
We invite everyone to visit github’s repositories for a deeper perspective of what is going on and what will happen in the upcoming months.
And the new addition of an application UX designer and frontend developer: neoperol, who was already part of the project working on the v4.0.0 wallet design & implementation from scratch and every mobile wallet, that will be helping us from now on with what has been scheduled for this year's roadmap.
Plus, as the community devs / bug bounty funding pot has been drained by a great report (PR fix link), 3k PIVs will monthly be stored for any future bug bounty or community development reward.
