Development Update
The full node release candidate went through a successful first phase of testing with no bugs reported. Many code additions, which are required for the main features of the platform, were made through last week. Developers are aiming to finish all needed tests in July and release public full node on mainnet at the beginning of August. Development of the assets is progressing at the same time and it is expected to be released soon after the full node. Assets specification can be found here. We welcome feedback from anyone who wants to help with the process of ensuring the Waves network remains secure and stable.
