The peer-to-peer network protocol is coming along nicely, I think it will be ready for the first test swarm soon. Had to spend some time on configuring the server networking and setting up the virtualisation so we can test thousands of nodes at the same time.
The new codebase will consist out of three layers. The first layer is the most critical one. It has to be as efficient as possible using as little code as possible. No compromises on technical debt or spaghetti code. This is the fundamentally minimalistic transaction base. Second layer that sits on top of the first one is the contract layer. It is the frame for advanced trust applications and the base for the lightning network. The third layer is the lightning network, that utilises the frame of the contract layer. All three layers will be tuned to work in harmony with each other in order to reach optimum performance.

Sweet update! really like structure in your coding approach
