The 2nd round of Europe and Australia Edition of voting ended at 13:00 (GMT+8) on May 29, and all the voting data were confirmed to be valid after back-stage data processing. The winning project is Lympo（LYM）、IXT（IXT）、Oyster（PRL）. We will list the above coin from May 30. Detailed arrangements will be published via announcement. Please pay attention.

As mentioned in last week’s update, Oyster’s PRL token will be included in Huobi/HADAX’s public community vote starting May 26th at 1AM EST / 1PM Hong Kong time (formerly the 25th, but has since been moved to the 26th). Again, we are actively encouraging our community to actively participate in this vote, as the more individuals who participate, the better chance PRL has to be listed on Huobi’s exchange.

The main development of SHL will start later down the road, depending on how many devs we can hire. After mainnet launch of PRL the concentration will be on improvin the raw protocol, making it rock solid, so we can build our house (SHL) ontop of concrete instead of sand or gravel. However, the web nodes or PRL are the same web nodes that will be used in the SHL ecosystem. If you are interested in the web nodes performing PoW on the IOTA tangle (storage part of PRL) we have a showcase of exactly that as you described:

Once mainnet is launched and you are visiting a beta group's website you will be doing exactly that, but only on our own Oyster tangle (until we merge back to the IOTA tangle)

The Oyster Protocol roadmap includes Oyster SHL with the last point (that was the whole reason for the airdrop in the first place, since it was still part of the protocol).

However, we will rework the roadmap soon but we will take a more IOTA like approach, means no ETAs. We will still continue to update everyone (not sure if continously on a weekly basis after mainnet release).

The SHL development will start once the raw protocol is rock solid and makes it possible to build on top of it, but this isn't really possible to estimate, therefore there won't be an ETA.

Today’s progress update will focus on the week of May 13th — May 18th, 2018.

This week, the development team worked on updating the encryption of treasure payloads on the broker node and updated the web nodes’ decryption to match, and successfully recovered a few “dummy” treasures while QAing. The team also added code to the broker node to pad the treasure chunks with random trytes, making it difficult for malicious actors to determine that they are treasure chunks. Additionally, the team fixed some “busy buffer” and “deadlock” errors on the broker node associated with the broker node’s database and updated encryption and decryption on the web interface, allowing the system to store a full 1kb in every chunk.

Further work was completed on the claiming, burying, and sending transactions that interact with the OysterPearl smart contract and the Oysterby test network within the broker nodes, as well as the claiming API used in the broker node. The team also worked on the Subscription of Transactions which involves determining whether the results are true/confirmed, false/failed, unconfirmed, or a timeout.

In addition to the work mentioned above, the development team worked on optimizing CPU usage for proof of work, as well as preparing documentation for the QA process involved in the Mainnet. Additionally, the team trialed several different approaches to implementing the ‘fragile loop’ that will stop a user’s device from completing proof-of-work if too much computing power is used. Finally, the team added gas price recommendations to the web interface when sending PRL to the designated address.

We will continue to update the community on Mainnet progress every week leading up to the launch date of May 29th. Any questions or comments are encouraged to be posted to our Reddit, or Telegram. channel
