Far away In the United States DFINITY Core technical engineer Paul Liu I made a summary of this competition online .Paul Express , I have been following up the progress of the game since hacker song , Although not at the scene , But the hot atmosphere of the competition can be felt across the screen .

The competition covers infrastructure 、NFT、 Crowdfunding platform 、 Maker platform 、DeFi、GameFi、 Scientific calculation, etc , It covers a wide range , exceeding one's expectations .IC As a new platform , Many things are not mature enough , The contestants can overcome many technical challenges , Work out the project in a limited time , It's really admirable .

The contestants come to hack song , Not just for the bonus , But with the help of the communication platform built by hacker song to display products , Exchange ideas with more friends , A spark of creativity .

Of course , The competition also exposed some problems of the contestants , For example, many projects need to build a platform as soon as they start , I hope that other people or other projects can use it so that people on the platform can benefit from each other . But the platform project involves cold start , How to attract target customers when the initial popularity is insufficient , Many players did not think clearly .

Besides , Maybe it was influenced by the ecology of Ethereum , The things above are highly composable . Many contestants also hope that other events can be combined , Not considered IC The current status quo is not yet able to provide mature solutions .

from Paul Questions raised , We can also roughly understand why IC-py You can get the first prize . The important reason is , The project sees IC The weak ecological foundation , And put forward the solution . Only the infrastructure has been improved , Later applications will flourish .

The enthusiasm of Chinese players is high , The founding team is connected remotely to solve puzzles

DFINITY Founder and chief scientist Dominic Williams and DFINITY CTO Jan Camenisch Shared on the same day DFINITY What's new .

Jan It introduces DFINITY The road map and what can be expected in the coming months . stay 2022 year 1 There will be two milestone product launches in the quarter , Main focus DeFi, Provide developers with development tools , Help develop token DAPP, Including the account book and the governance system . among , Ledgers can help generate tokens . The governance system helps build decentralized dapp, Developers simply click the mouse , It generates neurons and corresponding voting rights . Besides , And functions and DAPP Call function of . This is somewhat similar to the concept of a cross chain bridge between different chains , It's just built into IC In the logic of , And can achieve the same security . Distributed signatures are also Jan Expected function , A subnet can have a key , The node has a signature threshold . from Canister From the perspective of containers , It is equivalent to that you have the function of signing through the public key .

DFINITY from 5 So far, the main online line in January has been no more than 7 months , It's hard for developers to get something like IOS The same smooth development experience , But based on DFINITY The systems above the kernel are constantly improving . As a long-term project ,Jan Think we should at least see the ecological future 20 The change of the years .

Dominic Praised China's leading global development in social networking and payment , For Chinese developers , There is now every opportunity to be based on IC Develop centralized social software and other decentralized services , such as DAO. Developers can delegate projects to DAO,DAO Own governance token , Developers can sell the governance token in the international market , So as to obtain funds to support the development of the project .

According to the organizer's arrangement ,Dominic Will give the audience 5 Minutes to ask questions . However, the mood of the contestants was high , Catch one after another the rare and DFINITY Opportunities to initiate team communication , Put forward various problems encountered in the development , Simply extend the question time beyond 30 minute .

The questions asked by the contestants include how to improve IC The speed of 、 Sending ICP and Cycle How to achieve idempotency when 、 Chain governance and how to establish effective community communication channels .

For the speed of development ,Dominic Express ,DFINITY The development team will continue to optimize , In fact, in the past three months , The team has made a lot of progress in and optimization , Including improving memory efficiency 、P2P A lot of progress has been made in the optimization of transmission systems and components , Optimization is a project that lasts for several years , It's not done overnight .

In terms of establishing community communication channels ,Dominic Express ,DFINITY There will be more interaction with the community , For example, some community leaders will be invited to DFINITY Inside , At the same time, every Wednesday afternoon, European Central time 5 spot , There will be a weekly global R & D meeting ,DFINITY Internal developers will show their demo project , And the progress of R & D this week . In the future, community members will be invited to participate more . besides , There will also be separate weekly meetings or other types of meetings with the community to discuss some specific issues , You can express your opinions . in general ,DFINITY There will be closer interaction with the community , So as to make the community more involved in the discussion to solve urgent and interesting problems .

Besides ,DFINITY Next it will open Internet Computer Develop Chinese courses , All applicants who participate in this hack song can learn for free .

Through the above courses , Students can not only learn from 0 To 1 Comprehensive understanding ICP The ecosystem and infrastructure can also compete with the world's top DFINITY In depth exchanges between ecological developers and experts , There's a chance to get DFINITY Resources and job opportunities for ecological projects . More importantly , It will be held next year 2022 DFINITY Supernova Global hacker song , The strength of developers will be improved qualitatively , The competition between the strong players will be more intense .

For the hacker song award-winning team , The honor on the stage is short , Next they will devote more energy to Demo Become a booster DFINITY Ecology and even change Web3 Projects of ecological pattern , They are faced with even greater challenges . As the first prize team said in their acceptance speech ,

“DFINITY The explosive development of ecological future is inseparable from basic tools ,IC-py Can make more familiar with Python People come DFINITY, So as to promote more ecological prosperity .
