1. This month’s questions include a special one — a Happy New Year message from our Hispanic community. You certainly have something to say to them as well as to our entire community, I’m sure.
All of you have been so kind. Thank you so much, and best wishes for the New Year. I would like to express my gratitude to the Hispanic community, the Trias community, and our Triathon, Ethanim, and Tusima communities for your support over the last year. With your help, we have had an incredible year. Our community members are never reluctant to express their opinions regarding our products. We are quite grateful for that as well. Because both encouragement and criticism are valuable and can help us to grow.
Triathon, Ethanim, and Tusima have accomplished a lot in the last year. Triathon has finished the entire series of NFT releases and will next launch more NFT-driven tests. The testing platform CORE’s smart contract is now open source and available for worldwide development, and this week saw the launch of the public sale of the project token GEON. More than 12 project communities engaged in community cooperation in 2022. Ethanim has made a significant impact since making its initial debut in Tokyo in January 2022 with the goal of creating an RSM-based augmented reality metaverse infrastructure. The community responded well to the July release of the Metaverse Guardian Bastet NFT, which at one point reached the TOP 4 on Binance ERC1155 with the highest 24-hour transaction volume. Smart contracts for Bastet kits also ranked second on Binance’s ERC1155 list. We published Ethanim 2.0 in September. With the addition of AR glasses, we’ll see what type of spark Ethanim will light.
With its testnet being online and offering the same level of security and naturally universal compatibility to the EVM ecosystem as Layer1 blockchains like Ethereum, Tusima — a rather later addition in the Trias ecosystem — has swiftly captured the interest of developers and researchers. With target TPS up to 10000+, the Tusima protocol allows millisecond-level computational privacy proofs. More noteworthy is that Tusima’s DA offline privacy computing hardware acceleration scheme, which uses TEE’s trusted hardware acceleration scheme for confidential computing, with ARM’s TEE TrustZone, is currently working with Huawei’s Kunpeng to achieve high-performance confidential computing and privacy computing effects, which is 10–15 times faster than Huawei’s software privacy computing scheme in the same non-ARM offline acceleration case and has been tested and verified by Huawei, with international EAl4+ security certification. Proud to say that Tusima is one of the top 5 Layer 2 privacy computing projects when compared with Zcash, Tornado.Cash, Oasis, and other privacy projects. Currently, approximately 60,000 people (wallet addresses) have signed up to participate in the Tusima testnet, already much larger than other competitors’ testnets, such as Polygon’s.
Looking ahead to the coming year, it is clear that it will be both very difficult and quite promising. Tusima will focus on building the cross-chain bridge testnet and the privacy DEX testnet, integrating and developing more privacy payment applications, as well as releasing more privacy eco-incentive programs, and Tusima technical community will also provide more opportunities and support for privacy technology developers and researchers. We will start very soon to connect Tusima with our JPY stablecoin’s backstage systems and test Tusima with both real-life usage scenarios. These testings will be the major part of Tusima’s first stage ITO. We will next begin testing the supply chain finance and STO initiatives with Tusima.
In addition to Tusima ITO and testing with JPY stablecoin, Triathon will open more APIs for developers to create test cases. Triathon testing tools can continuously improve by taking part in Tusima ITO, and more testing APIs will be made available on top of the public chain. Through the ITO procedure, we hope to establish Triathon as a launchpad for web3 projects and achieve a distributed, safe, and auditable token issuing for web3 projects. Additionally, we are investigating the idea of Triathon offering its services to auditors and exchanges. Triathon can quickly replicate the status of several chains and run tests on various on-chain contracts to obtain reliable reference results as the ITO module develops. Triathon will offer a new route for the issuance of web2.0 projects and support in their transition to the web3.0 world with the subsequent launch of these features. In doing so, we hope to address the issue of asset security in the token world. Furthermore, we will work closely with web3’s asset insurance project to enable Triathon to become a SecurityFinance (SecFi) platform, which facilitates users in hedging their investment risks and helping them in making investment decisions.
It will be highly exciting for consumers to convert NFTs presented on the screen into assets seen in real life and into living assets in the real world when Ethanim launches its AR glasses in 2023, which will be the first web3 wearable AR gadget. Hopefully we will have our first batches of prototype gadgets ready for public testing in late Q2. Meanwhile, we have designed and tested various scenarios for playing with different NFT assets in real life with our AR gadget. All are very intriguing. We will start rolling out these demos and prototypes from Q1.
Our R&D team is also deep into the design of Leviatom and Behemotum (now officially released as FLock), and my own focus will be on driving the implementation of these two projects. Leviatom enables Tusima and financial applications in Japan to support more dependable and trustworthy web2.0 applications, transfer more web2.0 Fintech computing services to Leviatom, and provide Tusima with more sophisticated and difficult algorithms and tools using Leviatom’s distributed and dependable computing network. The theory of FLock is now taking shape. At this year’s Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, also known as NeurIPS — a prominent worldwide conference in machine learning and computational neuroscience — it has won the Best Paper Runner-up Award. FLock will launch a prototype in 2023 and present more application scenarios, including the cooperation with Tusima and the Yen stablecoin project, in which the main value of FLock will provide privacy-preserving big data analysis, as well as the privacy financial model based on the decentralized database will provide higher-level big data analysis capability for Tusima. In the following Q1, more thorough plans for Leviatom and FLock will also be made public. Using an optimistic prediction, we make every effort to introduce Leviatom and FLock testnets next year. They will make up the majority of NetX together with Triathon, Ethanim, and Tusima. The website for NetX was supposed to launch at the end of the year, but there will be a delay as the design develops further. We’ll still strive to have it out in Q1.
The community’s support is essential to the project’s development. I genuinely hope that you will keep engaging in our community and help us better realize the feature implementation and the mainnets online. I encourage you to join the Discord activities and discussions, and I myself will start to join Discord talks next year. Moreover, if you want to know more about joining our overseas team, you can send emails to us or talk to our team members.
The cryptocurrency market is unpredictably volatile, and it is impossible to say whether we will face a more challenging situation in the coming year. However, with Octa’s support, we can continue to push the project as orderly as we can.
2. Will Trias open the eco project tokens/TRIAS trading pairs on exchange?
Yes, actually we’ve already had GEON/TRIAS trading pair on PancakeSwap. Next, we will open eco-project token/TRIAS trading pairs on DEX. As I said in the last AMA, our strategy remains the same: to focus on accelerating the swap-and-burn processes, so that TRIAS tokens will be swapped or migrated to each eco project’s testnets/mainnets step by step.
We have been working hard on a few projects so far, including: first, advancing the development of our eco projects’ testnets by adding and releasing more functionalities to achieve their tokens’ utilities; second, launching the token exchange from TRIAS to our eco tokens on DEXs to enable more users to swap their TRIAS to eco tokens they support, use them, and benefit from different eco chains; and third, accelerating the listings for eco tokens (when the FTX incident has passed), so that TRIAS can be swapped to our eco tokens and traded on other exchanges.
For our customers to gradually exchange TRIAS for eco tokens, or vice versa, when they develop a greater interest in other eco tokens or decide to keep TRIAS instead, the DEXs will be an essential platform. Different eco-projects will have different paces in delivering, and their token prices will also have ups and downs. So, until all eco projects have reached their full maturity, we think the DEXs will support balancing supply and demand among TRIAS and eco tokens.
After a few swapping and listing rounds, when we notice that TRIAS liquidity is declining and eco token liquidity is rising, indicating that the need for TRIAS to function as a swapping medium is no longer necessary, we will initiate the burning process. It’s possible that rounds will be necessary. The leftover TRIAS that are still in circulation will then be mapped to the running testnets and mainnets of eco projects for their staking-minting, gas fee, and governance functions. TRIAS’s token economics need to be updated, and we have already started working on that.
As Triathon, Ethanim and Tusima will be on the mainnet in 2023, their tokens will be linked to Trias, so this year’s marketing operations will closely reflect the presence of Trias.
3. When can users test the Trias HCgraph? Data displayed on Trias Explorer seems occasionally abnormal. What causes this?
HCgraph was already online in our first beta version, and the only thing that can be reflected from the interface is the Trusted Score inside the block, which is calculated and arranged by HCgraph from the content described in our white paper. Of course, the current state of HCgraph is not the final state. We are still iterating and optimizing the development and testing, and we will have a new version online soon, which will give users a better interface to perceive the working effect of HCgraph. In the meantime, please also follow our testnet.
Users can also check the automated test events on our testnet (https://monitor.trias.one/). It is linked with the explorer, and the explorer didn’t break. But some of the data shown in it seems to be abnormal because of the test events on the testnet, for example, now it is in continuous test downtime/power outage/broken situation, this time explorer will not get data in some nodes on the chain. Welcome to pay more attention to and use the testnet, find problems to propose changes, we will be happy and will provide rewards.
You can also pay attention to our manual, in which you can directly write programs and scripts to test the use of the above APIs and our Trias chain, where HCgraph mainly involves the APIs including broadcast, consensus, evn and health. (http://119.28.106.234:46657/)
4. Will Trias launch its own wallet in the future?
Now, the first thing we need to do is make sure we can work with the major wallets, which have all been shown to be safe. Tusima needs its own wallet in order to support more application scenarios in the future, so we are also developing our own wallets. These include a desktop/browser extension wallet and a wallet app, each of which is still under development and will be updated with the community.
5. Will TRIAS be applied as a payment tool in a wider range of applications in the future?
As our cooperation with the Yen stablecoin deepens and more application scenarios come to fruition, we are also exploring whether to have TRIAS to be directly converted into a stablecoin and support offline spending with bank cards. Of course, this is still at the very early stage, and the specific possibilities will depend on the progress of the Tusima network supporting the Yen stablecoin, so we hope the community will participate more in the testing of Tusima to help us accelerate the validation and iteration of the technology.
6. Question regarding adding more liquidity in PancakeSwap and starting Uniswap Exchange for trading TRIAS(ERC20)
Yes, we will enable it as soon as possible.
