BusyDAO — 2022 Recap

Ing. Robert Michálek — Fri, 23 Dec 2022 10:12:37 GMT

BusyDAO — 2022 Recap

Dear Busy Community,

We would like to take a few minutes to reflect on BusyDAO’s 2022.

Much was achieved this year that we could not be done without you. We can not thank you enough for your continuous support of our roadmap. We overcame many obstacles, and at the end of the year, it was clear that the next step is the mainnet. Read more about our 2022 achievements and what to look forward to in 2023.

The topic of the year: Diversification

Definitely, the most discussed and controversial topic has been diversification. BusyDAO started as a low-cap, e-commerce market use case bringing DAO and governance to the freelance platform. The project was clearly defined. As time went on, our amazing developers kept getting more excellent ideas that exceeded the initial BusyDAO concept. However, it has still been implemented and realized as part of the BusyDAO. In Q3 2022, BusyDAO started to become a “bubble” full of brilliant ideas and functions, but these ideas were not relevant to the core BusyDAO concept. In order to keep the original BusyDAO concept in place, stayed focused and unleash its full potential, it was decided that the additional functionalities would be separated into the new, standalone project, BusyXChain. This is the nature of any emerging technology; it’s essential to remain dynamic in order to adapt to advances within the industry. Thus the company Busy Technology diversified into two branches: BusyDAO and BusyXChain. Diversification allows us to separate teams and hire new experts primarily focused on each particular project.

The concept of BusyDAO

BusyDAO has separate functions and applications based on the initial whitepaper, but still highly improved. Many excellent implementations will be active on both projects. The BusyDAO original, improved engine functions are:

BusyDAO mainnet chaincode — ready to launch on the BusyXChain network as Layer 1 blockchain.
BusyDAO governance — governance and voting functions were exclusively developed for BusyDAO. They will be part of the freelance platform and chaincode.
Phases and slots mechanism — the functionality is dedicated and developed only for BusyDAO. The freelance platform will tether and implement both chaincode functionalities.
Utility staking 33% p.a.
Desktop and mobile wallet — the desktop wallet is ready with its mandatory functionality. The Token Creator function was an overkill that did not fit the original BusyDAO concept and thus is no longer part of the BusyDAO chaincode.
NFT protection — special NFT types of tokens are reserved for BusyDAO. The freelance platform users will use it to assign/create NFT to their deliveries (projects, files, images, etc.).
Freelance Platform — The core product of BusyDAO is about to be finalized for alpha testing.
Antispam messaging — unique concept to eliminate spam on the BusyDAO chaincode. Two wallets/users will simply exchange their coins that behave like a message carrier. It will be costly only for a spammer, but legitimate users in conversation will be able to use this feature without any fees.
Smart contract-based contract creation and dispute — Tethered chaincode functions will be implemented in the platform’s users’ decision-making process to fully decentralized functionality without a central authority. Users will decide the final verdict.

Highlights of the year per each part

BusyDAO chaincode

Chaincode code has been refactored many times by separating a few internal functions into individual packages. The separation leads to a more modular schema that leads to increased security, clearance of the code, and network response.
An additional element was implemented to protect staking addresses during the phase transition. During the period of phase transitions and whilst recalculating the staking parameters, the claim function will be temporarily rejected. This will guarantee that staking reward will always have the correct balance for the user.
We worked on documentation for solving emergency situations. We have simulated various attacks on the chaincode, recorded individual results, and then applied enhancements to ensure the highest possible functions functionality during such events.
We have tested and successfully simulated multiple disaster scenarios. Recovery tools for blocks, transactions, and balances have been finalized.
We put the chaincode under extreme load to obtain data on the parts’ speed, delay and performance and the entire solution. We focused on fixing possible bottlenecks and millisecond delays in the network. We have enhanced blockchain indexing for faster querying of the data. Block time was set to 300 milliseconds.
Over a few days an average of 50 transactions per second was processed (in one block). During this period, blockchain processed millions of transactions. The final data from the latest test (running for only seven days) counts 261 473 blocks, 1 367 119 transactions and 27 210 addresses (including wallets and staking addresses).
BusyDAO network infrastructure that can work fully independently has been completed. There is an option for adding peers to the network. Each user can support the decentralization of the entire network.
Additional encryption has been implemented across all functions and data storage.
We analyzed the need for the monitoring and configured alerts and monitoring. We have implemented internal monitoring policies (Prometheus, Grafana, Benchmark, …) in the Kubernetes network. The BusyDAO Team is aware of any event or unwanted activity 24/7.
BusyDAO chaincode audit has been performed. Two low key vulnerabilities were found and received a few suggestions. All vulnerabilities, including suggestions, were implemented, re-validated and audit-confirmed.
Penetration test of the BusyDAO chaincode has been completed with no vulnerability found.

Explorer

Data Explorer is ready for BusyDAO mainnet.

Swap

The swap page is ready for the mainnet. It will provide an option for the users to connect their Metamask wallets and swap ERC-20 BUSY tokens to the BUSY coins at a ratio of 1:1. It is fully ready to be integrated with the mainnet network.

Knowledge Base

BusyDAO Knowledge Base has been released with many useful articles from regular users to experts and developers. https://documentation.busydao.io/

Summary of 2022

To conclude, the year 2022, for us, has been highly successful. Despite the market conditions and crypto situation, the Busy Team focused on the product and moved the BusyDAO solution to the mainnet version.

What is next?

The main parts of the product are ready to go. We are heading to the mainnet in 2023. We are looking forward to seeing better market conditions and circumstances to be safe to release the BusyDAO mainnet on the BusyXChain Layer 1+ network.

Mainnet is not the end line for us. There are many features that we have identified further to our roadmap. You can look forward to testing the alpha version of the freelance platform, alpha versions of the BusyDAO mobile app, new listings and partnerships, a solid marketing boost and much more.

Thank you again for your trust and support; we will see you in 2023!

Diversification

Busy Technology — Fri, 11 Nov 2022 17:05:14 GMT

Hello All,

As we have promised, we are here with more information about diversification.

As the project grows, we must make changes to focus entirely on every detail. DAO can’t do everything.

Our leading solution $BUSY DAO platform requires more focus on development and marketing to push our platform into a mainstream solution and ideally conquer the industry with our DAO solution.

As our technology has evolved, creating the need for additional functionality and the need to diversify and isolate excessive project functions outside the DAO solution. We have decided to incorporate these additional functions into the new project, BusyXChain which will entirely focus on additional functionality and DAO on its development to achieve its full potential.

Diversification allows us to separate teams and hire new experts focused on a particular project. Below, you can find the functions and parts of each of the projects.

Original DAO and engine functions:

BusyDAO mainnet chaincode
DAO Governance
Phases and slots mechanisms
Utility staking 33% p.a.
Desktop/mobile wallet
Freelance Platform
Antispam messaging
NFT protection
Smart contract-based contract creation
Smart contract-based dispute

New functions placed into the BusyXChain:

Blockchain network infrastructure
Channel solution
Custom tokens creation
Desktop wallet with the token creator
Smart contracts

All mentioned parts are newly developed under separate projects powered by different assets: The original BusyDAO engine solution ($BUSY) and the new solution BusyXChain.

Rest assured, we remain fully committed to both projects and will endeavour to work diligently to ensure that we deliver only the best for our community.

Busy Technology Monthly Update 10/2022— Diversification

Ing. Robert Michálek — Tue, 01 Nov 2022 14:06:38 GMT

Dear Busy People,

To bring the best solution and adequately cover the company’s organisation, we must do company restructuring. The project portfolio is diversifying to the original DAO and new blockchain solution. We will do a separate mainnet for each asset during Q1/2023 — which means we must postpone the mainnet for $BUSY DAO to Q1 2023 too.

Within a few days, we will release all details about the new asset. We will also start gathering new investors and partners to secure both Busy projects’ development for upcoming years.

This step will allow us to fully focus on each project to provide a smooth release of BusyDAO mainnet and conquer the mainstream.

Thank you for being so supportive

BusyDAO Development Update — 09/2022

Ing. Robert Michálek — Mon, 03 Oct 2022 12:45:22 GMT

BusyDAO Development Update — 09/2022

Dear Busy People,

We are bringing a development update to see more in-depth what we have worked on in September 2022. This month was driven by Community Testing V2 and final changes to the mainnet.

Briefly about September’s progress

September 2022 was mainly focused on Community Testing V2. During the two weeks, the users had a chance to involve in the second bug bounty event by Busy with a reward of up to $4000 in BUSY tokens. Luckily for Busy, no critical or high severity bugs were found. We have received a lot of valuable feedback and improvements. We cannot thank everyone enough for their efforts in helping us test the network and provide valuable feedback.

Check more details: https://info.busychain.io/busy-community-testing-v2-results/

We have received a lot of suggestions and mainly minor design/functionality bugs that the Busy Team reviewed and added the implementation to the Desktop Wallet development roadmap. As we are heading to the mainnet in the upcoming weeks, we have prioritised some tasks that will be implemented to the mainnet version; the rest will be implemented later. Updated overview video of the Busy Wallet:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/9zCjnE5yTGg

The Busy Freelance Platform’s development has moved forward; the Busy Team is now reviewing the whole use case. Once confirmed, the BusyChain smart contracts development will start in the separated network branch.

The alpha version of the Busy MobileApp has been released. If you have missed the overview video, check it below:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/bJMxi5j-zA0

To raise awareness of the BusyChain code complexity: it currently consists (globally) of over 7 500+ rows of code that make the BusyChain complex for auditing, but thanks to this, BusyChain can bring real utility to the world. For comparison, a basic ERC-20 token has around 1 000 rows of code, with some additional functions that can reach about 1 500 rows of code. In contrast, BusyChain code is three times bigger, making it way more advanced than most current blockchains.

Details of achieved points and completed technical aspects in September

We are audited now! The BusyChain has no vulnerabilities found and is ready for the mainnet — see the final report on our BusyInfo portal.
Community Testing V2 event has ended. We have received a lot of data: 126 feedbacks, 83 reportings, 43 suggestions, and 23 accepted low-severity bugs. There were created: 659 wallets, 131 new tokens, 619 841 transactions, and staked a total of 7 352 500 BUSY with the reward of 101 096.875 BUSY. Check more details: https://info.busychain.io/busy-community-testing-v2-results/.
We have started working on the API and Desktop Wallet to apply findings and accepted suggestions from Community Testing V2.
We have released network peer installation to join the Busy network. For now, it is shared only with our partner exchanges which will support our mainnet transition with trading pairs and swap possibilities.
We have implemented internal monitoring policies (Prometheus, Grafana, Benchmark, …) in the Kubernetes network, and the Busy Team is aware of any event or unwanted activity 24/7.
We have tested and successfuly simulated multiple disaster scenarios. Recovery tools for blocks, transactions, and balances have been finalised.
There is a running penetration test, and the results will be shared soon.
The Busy Desktop Wallet V2 was released as part of the Community Testing V2. Some improvements have already been applied; some will be till the mainnet version, the rest later. The Testnet wallet is available for all operation system versions — Windows, macOS, and Linux.
The BUSY swap online tool is already finalised. It will allow users to connect their Metamask wallets and swap ERC-20 BUSY tokens to the BUSY coins in a ratio of 1:1. It is entirely ready to be integrated with the mainnet network.
The Busy Freelance Platform’s development has moved forward; the Busy Team is now reviewing the whole use case. Once confirmed, the BusyChain smart contracts development will start in the separated network branch.
The preview version of the Busy MobileApp has been released. It is integrated with the Testnet network, the same as Desktop Wallet. The Busy MobileApp will be required for third-party solution confirmations.

What is next and when?

There is a running penetration test, and the results will be shared soon — ongoing in October/2022.
We are working on the Kubernetes network security of the network architecture for the best decentralisation, protection, scalability, and security — ongoing in October/2022.
We are working on the process of adding full nodes from the snapshots to the Kubernetes Busy network to support decentralisation and the entire ecosystem — ongoing in October/2022.
The future mainnet network in the production environment will be tested — ongoing in October/2022.
Busy Mobile App is being finalised, and the first release is planned for October/2022.
The exact mainnet date will be during Q4. All materials and information will be released soon–in Q4/2022.
We will implement a smart contract council function, including disputes for the Busy Platform on the testnet network–in Q4/2022.
We will start a new tool for deploying chain codes (smart contracts) on BusyChain–in Q4/2022.

Conclusion

Thank you for reading through our development update, and thank you very much for your continuous support. We are getting closer to the Busy mainnet, and we look forward to the next days together with you, our incredible community of supporters. Together, we can change the world. Stay tuned #StayBusy

The updated version of BusyChain testnet V3 goes public on 5th September 2022 at 3 PM CET, and the world will be involved in the bug bounty event. Every user can suggest improvements to the solution and report found bugs for 2 weeks. Rewards are high — in this phase, you can earn up to $4,000 in BUSY coins. Do not hesitate to check more and get ready to test the Busy solution.

Details

Community Testing starts on 5th September 2022 at 3 PM CET and will end on 19th September 2022 at 3 PM CET (2 weeks).
During the testing period, the full stable testnet (BusyChain, API documentation, Desktop Wallet, BusyScan, etc.) will be available, and users will be able to submit findings (bugs, errors, mistakes, typos, etc.) and suggest improvements or new features.
After closing the Community Testing, the Busy Team will pause operations on the testnet, review submitted findings, evaluate them, perform necessary corrections and release rewards for the bug-hunters for accepted bugs. All findings will be reviewed as per the Risk Evaluation Matrix (below), and the reward will be calculated based on the bug’s severity. If two testers submit the same bug, the timestamp of the submission will be taken during the allocation of the reward, e.g., only the fastest tester will be rewarded.

You can generate your apikey to communicate with BusyAPI on the BusyScan — see detailed manual here.

BusyScan Explorer

BusyScan is Busy’s explorer. It shows all blocks, transactions, wallets, and tokens in the BusyChain.
BusyScan Testnet is available on: https://testnet.busyscan.io/

Busy Desktop Wallet

The newest version of the Desktop Wallet is connected to the Testnet via BusyAPI.
You can download the wallet here: BusyDesktopWallet GitHub repository.

ATTENTION!!!

All parts of the Community Testing V2 are connected to the BusyChain Testnet! Do not send any real funds to the Busy address!

This version is for testing purposes only!

How to start?

Here are all materials to start testing:

API documentation — https://api.busychain.io/
API domain —https://api02.busydev.io/
BusyScan Explorer — https://testnet.busyscan.io/
Busy Desktop Wallet — https://github.com/busy-technology/BusyDesktopWallet
Form to report the bugs and suggestions — https://forms.gle/9Wboz6XZbsFm1ev3A

How will the findings be evaluated?

The evaluation of findings will be considered based on the Risk Evaluation Matrix below. A specific reward will be assigned based on the severity (comparison of consequence and likelihood).

What will be the reward?

The Busy reward program provides a criterium for the individual reward per bug based on the severity. The reward will be issued ONLY in $BUSY ERC-20 tokens. Rewards are set to be from $50 up to $4,000!

Calculated rewards will be distributed in BUSY tokens

After the event, an anonymous list of bug-hunters will be published, along with information about how many bugs/errors were approved and how many rewards were assigned.

Show your skills in finding bugs, errors, and mistakes and show your enthusiasm to be part of the Busy ecosystem!

BusyDAO Development Update — 08/2022

BusyDAO Development Update — 08/2022

Dear Busy People,

We are bringing a development update to see more in-depth what we have worked on in August 2022. This month was driven by completing and releasing the BusyChain audit, preparation for Community Testing V2 and final changes to the mainnet.

Briefly about August’s progress

August 2022 was mainly focused on finalising the code changes, the revalidation phase of the BusyChain code and the final audit report release. You can find the final report on our BusyInfo portal.

Community Testing V2 is in place with the audit completion and starts on the 5th of September. It is the final Community Testing before the mainnet. It is necessary to mention that the testing will be on the final mainnet code and as multiple changes were changed since the last Community Testing V1, it will be clean— that means that the previous version of the Busy Desktop Wallet will not be working (We have improved the Busy Desktop Wallet also) and previous testing data (user accounts, seed phrases, etc.) will not work either. New user accounts have to be created.

The Busy Desktop Wallet has been improved and finalised. It will be released with all operation system versions — Windows, macOS, and Linux.

The Busy Freelance Platform’s development has moved forward; it is ready for the BusyChain integration and creation of smart contracts via BusyChain API. Disputes development has been started. The first preview will be released soon.

The development of the Busy Mobile App has been started. The first preview will be released soon.

Details of achieved points and completed technical aspects in August

We are audited now! The BusyChain has no vulnerabilities found and is ready for the mainnet — see the final report on our BusyInfo portal.
The Busy network has been under high throughput for almost a month to optimise all processes, delays and consumptions.
We have added one new API function — balanceHistory. This API provides the daily balance of the particular walletId so the Busy Desktop Wallet (and Busy Mobile App) can show up-to-date charts. This function has also been added to the API documentation.
We have improved handling of the BusyChain phases transition. Once the phase change occurs, all staking addresses will be automatically recalculated in time not to affect the wallet’s overall performance.
We have improved handling of unexpected results, status codes and error messages. It is essential to set the baseline for the Busy Desktop Wallet, Busy Mobile App, Busy Freelance Platform, and other platforms built on the Busy engine to behave similarly for the same API response.
To improve the security, we have set some global environment values as strings instead of APIs and changeable values. It provides fewer points of failure in case of attack and malicious activity.
We successfully added multiple peers (nodes) to the BusyChain network and tested all parameters.
We have analysed the needs for the monitoring and configured alerts and monitoring. We are immediately notified and informed if anything is happening in the network, in the blockchain, and much more.
The Busy Desktop Wallet has been improved and finalised. It will be released with all operation system versions — Windows, macOS, and Linux.
The BUSY swap online tool is already finalised. It will allow users to connect their Metamask wallets and swap ERC-20 BUSY tokens to the BUSY coins in a ratio of 1:1. It is entirely ready to be integrated with the mainnet network.
Apart from the above BUSY swap option, we are already in contact with our CEXs to support the swap on their side.
The Busy Freelance Platform’s development has moved forward; it is ready for the BusyChain integration and creation of smart contracts via BusyChain API. Disputes development has been started.
The development of the Busy Mobile App has been started. The first preview will be released soon.

What is next and when?

Community Testing V2 starts on 5th September and will take two weeks— in September/2022.
Penetration testing of the BusyChain is running in parallel with other activities–ongoing in September/2022.
We are working on the Kubernetes network security of the network architecture for the best decentralisation, protection, scalability, and security — ongoing in September/2022.
We are working on the process of adding full nodes to the Kubernetes Busy network to support decentralisation and the entire ecosystem — ongoing in September/2022.
The future mainnet network in the production environment will be tested — ongoing in September/2022.
The exact mainnet date will be at the beginning of Q4. All materials and information will be released soon.
We will implement a smart contract council function, including disputes for the Busy Platform on the testnet network–in Q4/2022.
We will start a new tool for deploying chain codes (smart contracts) on BusyChain–in Q4/2022.
Busy Mobile App is being developed, and the first release is planned–in Q4/2022.

Conclusion

Thank you for reading through our development update, and thank you very much for your continuous support. We are getting closer to the Busy mainnet, and we look forward to the next days together with you, our incredible community of supporters. Together, we can change the world. Stay tuned #StayBusy
