Wow, time flies, it’s already June! The first half of 2019 has been both critical and exciting for the OAX tech team. The team, spearheaded by our technology director Wayland Chan, has been working tirelessly over the past 6 months to refine and develop our Layer 2 technology.
That’s not all – we have also other recent updates released in June, and have wrapped everything up in our June community update writeup here: http://bit.ly/OAXJuneUpdates
In a nutshell, June has definitely been a fruitful month for the team. We look forward to sharing more milestones and progress with you as we press forward towards our goals. Please stay tuned!

Hi community members,
Our tech development partners, ENUMA Technologies, has just released a blog post discussing the fundamentals of how order cancellation in a trustless setting works. This might be useful for blockchain and tech enthusiasts who have been asking us about our Layer 2 solution.

As mentioned in our last community update, we’ll be publishing more tech development updates along the coming weeks. We hope you’re as excited as we are!
All comments and questions are absolutely welcome.
Last week, Singapore-based exchange Bitrue was hacked and lost around USD 4.2 million worth of assets. While the prompt follow-up actions taken by the exchange were commendable, it still raises the question: Will centralized cryptocurrency exchanges always be vulnerable to hacks?
Unquestionably, such hacks pose a roadblock for the digital asset industry to move to the mainstream. In our latest writeup, we discuss this threat and how a trustless system can be a solution to the issue.

We’re honored to be attending @RISE Conference this week in Hong Kong, one of the world’s biggest tech + startup conferences as guests of our partner, Blockpass – one of the many benefits of all the great partnerships we’ve been fostering this year.
It was definitely an exciting day at RISE, with useful talks and excellent networking opportunities. The conference also had a Women in Tech lounge, which provided a dedicated space for professional women to make connections, all part of helping encourage the rise of women in the blockchain and wider tech community - a movement we wholeheartedly support!
Overall it was a day well spent and we would like to extend our appreciation to our partner, Blockpass, for inviting us. If you’re at RISE over the next few days and bump into any of our team members, please don’t be shy but make sure to come up and say hi!.

Just last week, our General Manager Amanda Liu and Tech Director, Wayland Chan, headed to Chengdu, China to attend one of the Polkadot Network’s tour stops in China. The team was there to get firsthand insight of the new developments within the Polkadot project while touching base with the crypto startup scene in China.
Just some background on the Polkadot Network tour: Dr Gavin Wood, Co-Founder of Ethereum and now the architect behind the Polkadot Network and Dr. Alistair Stewart from the Web3 foundation have been touring cities in China to speak about the current state of the Polkadot Network and the upcoming Kusama network.
We definitely had a fruitful trip and our Tech Director, Wayland, has written a post about the trip and key learnings / takeaways from the event here: http://bit.ly/OAXPolkadotnetworkCN

A recent research led by Totle, a firm specializing in decentralized liquidity, has revealed that the monthly trading volume on decentralized exchanges tripled from January to June, showcasing an increase in both popularity and confidence in the system.
This is great news for us at OAX Foundation as it also shows the potential of our work, which aims at solving some of the most significant challenges holding back the decentralized ecosystem and blockchain.
