ProximaX Tech - September 2018Full article:
https://blog.proximax.io/proximax-tech-september-2018/The month of September had all of us focused on finalizing most of our applications as well as our core platform research. Most of our applications are either in UAT or Pre-Production Stage. Our core platform research has been ongoing, parallel with the development of its respective modules.
Core Platform - Development StatusOur research has mostly focused on solidifying the approach, including the set of actors, modules, data flow, the token, and consensus. The scope of these all is just too big to fit into a single blog post so I will dedicate an entire post to share the high-level design, consensus schematics and a white paper on a separate update hopefully within the month of October.
ProximaX Platform - SiriusThe codename for this platform that we are rolling out is called Sirius. Sirius is taken from the top ten brightest stars in our galaxy which clearly represents what we want to achieve; the initial rollout of what will define ProximaX that will shine the brightest of them all.
The ecosystem of ProximaX revolves around the network actors we have. These actors are the nodes that work together to achieve the platform services that it'll offer.
Please see full article to read more about the platform...Application DevelopmentMost of the applications we've been developing are functionally done but almost all of them are being transitioned from NIS1 version to Catapult. Below, are some of the following key updates we have.
ProxiDocs to ProxiSuiteProxiSuite is an office application based on NextCloud, OnlyOffice, and integrated with ProximaX technology. The office suite is fully capable of supporting real-time document management based on Microsoft / Open Office document files. The OnlyOffice extension backed by Proximax technology allows users to create and manage their documents using the decentralized storage and blockchain encryption mechanism. We may decide to rename ProxiSuite at a later date via a competition once there is clarity on the functions of the application.
ProxiBoxProxiNoteProxiForms - Framework and MiddlewareOngoing Contribution ProjectsProximaX, as a company, is also contributing to the Catapult/NEM project. Below are some of the projects we are building as a contribution to NEM.
Catapult Desktop WalletWe're building a ProximaX Catapult desktop wallet that can be used to manage our coins, in particular, the XPX coins. This is now ongoing and we have a few screens to show its progress.
Once done, we will contribute this to the public, so that everyone can use our powerful desktop wallet and extend its functionalities for their own use.
The desktop wallet is not your typical wallet. We are building a framework and SDK service on top of it so that anyone can extend and use it for their own set of applications. Anyone can develop using our plugin framework on typescript/javascript and customize the wallet.
Catapult SDKsWe're building 3 Catapult SDKs as our contribution to NEM Foundation technology, written in Golang, Python and Swift 4.
This essentially means that once this is released, platform developers will be able to use the SDK to build their powerful applications on top of the Catapult blockchain.
We'll be opening these SDKs to the public soon.

We have started building some design components pertinent to the overall ProximaX platform, as we have almost firmed up the development architecture.
Below is a summary of what we've done for September:
Storage SDK Java, Typescript/Javascript is 90% complete. Most of our applications right now are migrating from the use of NIS1 SDK to the new Storage SDK.
PoC of Consensus Algorithms.
Node Onboarding Process
Building of Reputation System for Storage Nodes
Continue building the Storage Layer Components
Continue building the Streaming Layer Components
