Is the test net release still on track on March 20, 2018?

[Stolyarov]

Thanks for info.

[Ontological0]

Wow! This business on the move. I believe the target of 10x before the end of year 2018 will be reached.

This is an epitome of a project with focus. Every step taken in this project is towards its success. By the time This coin is listed in more exchanges it will find its way into Moon. This is even an understatement, it will be a successful project that will amaze so many people.

NULS is an adaptable Blockchain for Enterprise Solutions. Kucoin confirms support for NULS and upcoming token swap. Rumor: NULS mainnet release to happen in August

[irinakovallove]

Nuls is a digital token of the multi-block platform, which offers a unique solution for integrating the activities of enterprises into the block system. Thanks to the complex smart contracts that will be used on Nuls, the directors who can program themselves a business model in Nuls and run it into work.

According to the developers, the functionality of the NULS platform can increase business confidence in decentralized applications for blocking.

Nuls is "anything and nothing" to be used by companies how they see blockchain fits. Much like EOS, NEO, and Lisk with strong ties in Asia.

[Cristinh0]

The previous article “A NULS’ community collaborative idea: hosting enterprise-ready and commercial applications on the blockchain using Modules” goes into great detail on the advantages of NULS’ modular design. Some of these advantages are described below;

1. Updates and technological upgrades can be made independently, and at any time in each specific module without affecting the function of the rest of the blockchain.

2. Users can choose and develop certain applications on many different modules.

3. NULS is an open source community project. Once the main net activates the standard interface will improve day by day and it will be easy for community developers to improve modules already on the NULS blockchain, or to develop functional modules using the standard interface.

4. When a bug is found, it is easier to locate and repair it.

Another concept that will help facilitate enterprise on the blockchain is the idea of ‘parallel multi-chains’. Similar to NULS’ modular design, the ‘parallel multi-chain’ extension mode will also work to facilitate and host various enterprise-level applications. If the main chain has to host all the services of the blockchain, then hardware maintenance costs alone would be in the tens of millions, which would be in addition to the funds needed for business development and expansion. The capital investment required is simply not conducive to hosting enterprise applications or for consensus participation. At the same time, the lowering of the participation threshold on the blockchain which is advocated by NULS would not be possible.

In order to solve this problem, after doing some comprehensive research into the technology of Bitcoin and Ethereum, the NULS team has created a ‘parallel multi-chain’ extension mechanism that will link the main chain and sub-chains. This mechanism separates the main chain from the sub-chains. Each sub-chain can host a different type of business service, which lowers the threshold for participation as well as satisfying extremely high TPS requirements. The following figure demonstrates the multi-chain parallel extension mechanism using the anti-counterfeiting tracing chain as an example.


The blue parts in the above figure show the anti-counterfeiting traces registered on the NULS blockchain. The sub-chain manager records data from a module when it is in the sub-chain extension mode. The main chain just performs auditing and verification tasks and does not run actual services. Because the consensus mechanism and the block-time can be freely chosen the sub-chain block header does not have fixed parameters. Every block on the main chain is expected to be able to accommodate about 6000 sub-chains. Taking a conservative estimate at 3000 sub-chains, with each sub-chain using 80 parallel chains to record business data, each themselves being able to carry out 2000 transactions, then the total number of transactions is 3000 (blocks on the main chain) * 3000 (sub-chains) *80 (parallel chains) * 2000 (transactions) = 1,440,000,000,000.

The sub-chain service chains will expand in conjunction with the complexity of the business and so too will the volume of transactions. The sub-chain block header reports to the main chain meaning that the main chain does not have to store all the business transaction data all at once. It also guarantees that the sub-chain data cannot be modified and separates the auditing on the main chain from the business data. Thus, by the logical design of this blockchain, only important resultant data or data for evidence is stored on the main chain, whilst the sub-chain data is verified by nodes on the main chain to ensure authenticity. At the same time, blockchain performance costs are reduced.

Blockchain expert and architect Wu Mengye from the Department of Electronic Engineering at Tsinghua University states that;

“The ideal basic design of a blockchain should have a structure that allows the business to be divided vertically, so it has the ability to flexibly expand and have a practical allocation of services. Take for example Alibaba Cloud Computing which allocates different services such as Cryptokitties and Blockchain Loans to different parts of the blockchain. Each part has its own smart contracts, consensus layers and distributed ledgers. In theory, they are just private chains, but businesses can realize interoperability using the cross-chain digital asset protocol.”

From his statement we can see that the idea of using parallel multi-chains to facilitate expansion on the main chain is a method approved and advocated by blockchain experts. Additionally, previous discussion on the state of blockchain technology had been about removing on chain workload along parallel pathways.

The plan is for the NULS main chain to only constitute 5% of the NULS ecosystem, and most of the remaining 95% of the ecosystem to comprise of sub-chains relating to many different industries. Developers from all over the world are therefore welcome to join the NULS community. Let’s build, share and sustain the NULS’ ecosystem together

[Roklepj]

The greater part of the Nuls are presently in the hands of the official, so they can control costs freely, and in my view, Nuls is a fizzled token, with just theoretical esteem.

Blockchain & Gaming - a Match Made in Heaven

Gaming companies can raise early funding for their projects by way of an ICO, and their ICO can run on the NULS blockchain. The project creator will soon discover how much interest there is in their project, and be in a position to react early to community feedback. This is one of the benefits of crowdfunding a project, you can judge adoption early and tailor your project accordingly.

Read the details in the article of Coinidol dot com, the world blockchain news outlet: https://coinidol.com/blockchain-gaming-match-made-in-heaven/

Essam mentioned that *“community is the overriding part of the public blockchain ecosystem. If you develop a DApp or tool that no one uses, it’s worthless. First, you need to build your user base and delve into what products they need. It’s reasonable to operate in a public-chain way, which allows us to develop communities more easily, rather than providing services to individual companies. When blockchain technology is truly widely used in enterprises, more substantial changes will take place.”*


6 On Dec. 22nd, **Jason Zhang**, NULS Founder, and Alicia Huang, Commercial & PR Department Director, were invited to attend the CSDN Blockchain Workshop on how to develop smart contracts and build with Java. At the workshop in Beijing, Jason shared the zero-based practical development of a smart contract.


7 **Liesa**, NULS Core Team CEO, took the interview of the CSDN’s Blockchain Lemon-“Late winter: Can the blockchain warm up?” Liesa believes that the rapid development of an industry in its early stage is bound to involve people with different purposes, and also incur various situations, which are normal phenomena. The global economy is in the downward trajectory in 2018, understandably, anxiety and uneasiness have been ubiquitous in the global economy body. Blockchain, a brand new industry, is still in the early stage of development. People involved may be more in a sense of crisis than those in other industries. Every coin has two sides. Usually, under such crisis awareness, more future directions will emerge. For more information, please click [HERE](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/aaUmMvFjkTlZQW4Dn-LCMw).

NULS Makes Big Moves in the Market and Bigger Moves on its Roadmap
Go to the profile of NULS
NULS
Mar 11

With NULS 2.0 on the horizon, we have seen some excitement building around NULS. The Alpha testing of 2.0 will soon move to our second testnet — an incentivized testnet aided by the Node Forge proposal and voted on by the NULS Global Community in anticipation of NULS 2.0.

Community developer and CCC member Berzeck has completed the most basic modules for Nulstar — the precursor and underlying basis of 2.0. Both are currently undergoing thorough internal testing and are scheduled to be released to testnet as early as April.

To prepare for the eventual marketing campaign and implementation of our branding strategy, a new website is currently being designed to help display some of the major design features and advantages of NULS 2.0 and Chain Factory — the groundbreaking enterprise blockchain product that will be based on 2.0 capability. As a taste of what’s to come, Chain Factory will also begin its developmental design phase in the Spring of 2019.

And while many other projects are just now starting to realize the benefits of an underlying microservices architecture, NULS leads the way and has already begun testing it with the first round of internal tests for 2.0 and Nulstar.

Starting from Scratch Vs. Starting From Simplicity
The lowest base level of a blockchain’s architecture must be compatible with the coding level of existing systems in order for existing systems to integrate the blockchain’s features. Otherwise, cost is increased while efficiency is lost. This is the main reason NULS 2.0 was designed — because there is a demand for this type of simple base architecture to enable the adoption of businesses by integrating existing systems with blockchain technology. It is not enough to simply be able to build a chain.

Meaningful adoption will begin with an underlying microservices framework which doesn’t require a business to build or start their blockchain integration from scratch. NULS 2.0 and Chain Factory will make it possible for a business to create a fully customizable, flexible, and easily updated blockchain perfectly suited to their specific needs in a fraction of the time, and at a fraction of the cost of the legacy model. There are many projects in the space catering to the enterprise market, but NULS leads the vanguard of innovation with customizable modular services, only made possible by 2.0.

More User-Friendly Wallets
Many other developments will find their way to completion during the Spring of 2019, as the market appears to be making its return to positive sentiment. Wallet choices and alternatives have been a main priority of NULS throughout the crypto-winter and Ledger integration is entering its final stage of development. Binance’s Trust Wallet is an open-source, secure wallet service that is also being currently integrated by NULS and allows the user to always be in control of their private keys. Addition to Bitkeep wallet is also being integrated, and will allow users to stake, and vote from the wallet.

The desktop wallet for the 1.0 mainnet has been a cumbersome resource hog — and this is to be expected, because running the desktop version of NULS is nothing short of running a full node. Noticeably, other projects like ETH only used full node wallets in the early stages of development because of synching and memory requirements — a full node is not a wallet designed for everyday customer usage. In the past six months of development NULS has welcomed the addition of several light wallets — a web wallet, Moshe’s light wallet, and most recently the CCC’s Nytro wallet. Nytro is a stand-alone application that does not require users to access it by importing their private keys over the internet.

With all of this underway it is not surprising that the market is starting to warm up to NULS, even prior to the launch of a formal marketing campaign. Technological innovation takes time, and we appreciate the community’s support during the development of 2.0. Innovation has always been one of the major strengths of NULS, and we look forward to sharing some of the fruits of that innovation with everyone soon.Thank you NULS Community for all of your support!

The Core Team — #Nulsdeep and no sleep till adoption.
