December 2022 Filewing Development Update
In the last update we mentioned some necessary new development plans, and in the last tests in November we found some possible security risks, but it’s not a problem that can’t be solved, for now, we have a new solution and are trying it out. Still, these factors are affecting the timing of the main Filewing website launch, and I will give you an explanation here and an introduction to our plans for December.
Our current progress
Testing of Filewing has reached a critical stage. Currently, we are working on two things.
1. developing some necessary supporting tools, such as the blockchain application toolkit mentioned last time, access protocols, etc.
2. upgrading security protocols for possible security vulnerabilities found.
- Supporting application tools. In November, we have started to develop the supporting application toolkit for Filewing mainnet, in this process we got help from the protocol lab, many members joined us and volunteered to take part of the development task, which greatly reduced our technical pressure, but many new developers did not know Filewing very well yet. At this stage we are still building the basic architecture framework, so the progress is not ideal, we know it takes a process, and we are looking for more developers to join us.
- Upgrading security protocols. In fact, as of now, our test network is still secure, but we have found many possible security risks in multiple rounds of attack tests, and these must be upgraded before the main network is completed. We hope Filewing brings you a secure, stable and efficient blockchain network. At present, we have formed a temporary security team with technical talents from several nodes to fix the discovered security vulnerabilities, which is expected to take 1–2 months to fix, after which we will conduct tests with larger data.

In addition, in November, we held several node technical meetings, participated in IPFS Camp 2022, and communicated with several communities including DATA WORLD, compiled the applications that are expected to be connected to the ecology, and considered to formally connect some functions of the test network on some node applications in December.
Next steps
We are working hard to achieve the main Filewing network as soon as possible, and a new WEB3.0 governance network will bring us unlimited possibilities.
- Based on the current situation, we are approaching technical teams such as Starling Lab and hope that more technical teams will join us to complete the development of the Filewing supporting toolkit as soon as possible, and we are also actively recruiting technical developers.
- We plan to open some functional rights to some node applications in December, for example, DATA WOLRD community node will soon launch a multi-chain cross-chain wallet based on Filewing public chain, FILW will be used as the base Token for the circulation of the wallet, the wallet DAPP launch, voting and other activities will use FILW, we will also recommend more ecological applications to DATA WORLD wallet to empower each other and welcome the WEB3.0 digital era together.
Please refer to the official DATA WORLD news for the specific launch time and open functions of the DATA WORLD wallet.
- Filewing Security Research Group. We plan to launch Filewing Security Research Fellowship in December. This group will be managed by DAO, and its main task is to study the possible security problems in Filewing code and some vulnerabilities in the code. this group is to ensure the security and stability of the released code.
- Nodes are encouraged to participate in testing. We expect to provide a portion of the FILW in December to reward nodes for participating in Filewing testing. This is partly to test the stability of the system, and partly to pave the way for the main online presence. We hope more users can rent the computing power through our computing power supermarket to help improve the performance of Filewing.
We believe that with the advent of WEB 3.0 era, the Google and Baidu of blockchain will likely be born in the future and generate new applications that we cannot imagine now.
