Monthly Reports

The engineering team conducted a working technical session with Pi (Sundaeswap) who very successfully helped resolve issues the team was having with our transaction builder. We also ran into a hang getting the cardano serialization library CSL minting script to work with Plutus V2 smart contracts due to the CSL not being updated for Plutus V2. This forced and internal decision to fall back on ensuring we integrate an alternative (highly modular) solution using cardano-cli until proper support is created. Mesh is a solution we can use, but it also depends on CSL. Mesh is now considering migrating to CML (developed by dc spark), and we are looking at created a CML based solution on our own down the road if need be. The experience is not smooth for development, but we're making progress and moving to market in mid to late December, hopefully before the next report submission.

The spacecoins rocket drop files and details have been placed with Buffy Bot, and the Adosia spacecoins NFT sale is still on track to commence the first week of December. This should provide the team with revenue for marketing.

The team also made progress further defining tokenomics and parameters for the upcoming Adosia incentivized testnet. As we will be in testnet for a bit, we decided to port the IoT storefront (adosia.io) into a marketplace for 3d design prints, and have our ambassadors manage fulfillment. This will enable us a platform to incentivize designers to begin contributing 3d printable design models today so we will have ample inventory at production launch later next year.

The production infrastructure for the marketplace MVP has been setup and the front-end is currently being built out. December deliver of this proposal's closeout is likely.

This past month Adosia conducted a successful exhibit event at cNFTcon and generated interest and exposure within the CNFT community. Adosia engineering has the application stack and cardano-node running together within docker. The engineering team also made solid progress on the internal transaction builder for the marketplace MVP, coming to consensus on architecture that will be leveraged across multiple project integrations. The team also worked on detailing the incentivized testnet which will accompany the Adosia marketplace MVP launch. We are also interviewing React front end developers and very close to making a new team hire.

On the community front the Adosia team continues to build and strengthen our community of 3D printer operators. We're refining near-term opportunities for those 3d printer operators (spacecoins 3d NFT rocket drop) while also stress testing (learning) how to not get killed (on shipping costs) via decentralized manufacturing. We've generated all files and parameters for the drop (will occur before next report) and will be passing that off to Buffy Bot next week.

SpacePrinter (utilizes Raspberry Pi to pull print jobs from Adosia smart contract) is currently parked until the Adosia Marketplace MVP is complete. We discovered a UX issue with retrieving large files stored via IPFS (long download times). In light of this we began reconsidering architecture and concluded the best way to solve the issue was to serve the 3d printable files (some of which can be very large) centrally (via CDN) for the MVP. In addressing this issue we greatly improve the printer operators experience and usability, but we also eliminate the need for 3d printer operators to have a Raspberry Pi (reduces overall barrier to entry for printer operators to participate). The current plan is to develop a SPA (single page app) that functions across all devices. Once the marketplace MVP is deployed we plan to wire SpacePrinter up to the backend / Adosia smart contracts and begin work decentralizing the network.

We also made significant progress on tokenomics, and also outlined the incentive and functional structure of the upcoming incentivized testnet. Printer operators will be incentivized separately to assist with fulfillment testing. Marketplace testers will be incentivized to participate in predefined test plans in order to test the marketplace and smart contract functionality.

Lath and Quinn are actively working in tandem to developing the marketplace and we still expect MVP in October. We have also engaged auditors are working to understand how to most cost effectively achieve a proper technical audit (numerous smart contracts required to be audited before full production launch).

We are currently holding weekly twitter spaces to promote building on Cardano. The Cardano testnet was trashed due to a bug found on mainnet - and incident which threw the project into a scramble as we intended to launch on testnet in October and run nearly a year there (on the print side) for a good bit before full production launch. Given the pivots needed, SpacePrinter has been parked until the marketplace is complete. Once the marketplace is completed, SpacePrinter will be revisited to tie in endpoints into the completed smart contract interface. Quinn (adosia lead SC developer) is still pushing, and played an integral role in community testing preparing SPOs for confidence in the Vasil HFE (Quinn crafted a "devilish" sc transaction to reproduce the bug that ruined testnet). Pivots and scrambles, but we good. While spaceprinter is parked, Mike and Siddik will be working on readying the embedded IoT application for Cardano.

Adosia is pivoting slightly away from combining testing the adosia marketpalce smart contract in parallel with a spacecoins NFT rocket drop - separating the initiatives will enable operational focus on establishing proper approaches to shipping while streamlining development efforts towards the marketplace - adosia marketplace is still on track to launch at CNFTcon - we also learned IPFS sucks for hosting larger files, so we will need to offer a CDN solution there for productivity enablement

The first batch of 3d printable fungible tokens have been minted (for testnet) with production appropriate metadata and distributed within our private cluster of Adosia 3d printer operators / ambassadors. Spaceprinter / smart contract integration testing is scheduled to begin next Friday and to run for two (2) weeks leading up to Adosia's spacecoins 3d printable NFT rocket sale.The purpose of internal testing leading up to the sale will be to ensure printer operators understand how to use the Adosia spaceprinter application to select and claim print jobs from the Adosia smart contract. The purpose of the NFT sale itself to to stress the network so that we may incorporate learnings into the adosia.market marketplace target MVP. Primary features for the marketplace target MVP have been delineated and Latheesan is up to speed with Adosia engineering in preparation for the marketplace build. The spaceprinter application is advancing and improving with regular updates - https://github.com/adosia/spaceprinter.
