Development interview

Someone in the community questioned the recent slow development of ChainX. Can you give me a reply to this problem?

A: Due to historical reasons, ChainX started earlier and is based on substrate 1.0. Therefore, the upgrade process faces more complexity and workload. Many underlying dependencies and tools need to be compatible and upgraded. This part simoly takes a lot of time. We have made considerable progress, and we are also accelerating the current development progress.

The current development focus of ChainX is the 2.0 upgrade. What stage has it been in? When is it expected to be completed?

A: At present, nearly 90% of the development of ChainX 2.0 chain has been completed. The current main work energy is the development, joint debugging and testing of peripheral tools such as browsers and wallets. It is expected that the internal 2.0 testnet will be launched this week, and the public 2.0 testnet will be launched two weeks later . The testnet is expected to last one to two months. After completing all tests and all code audits, ChainX 2.0 can be officially launched. In other words, the ChainX 2.0 upgrade is expected to be completed in two months.
