Every quarter, we hold a public town hall to give members of our community insights into the progress of the 不良研究所 project. There are many different groups that have an interest in 不良研究所: storage node operators, open source contributors, investors, STORJ token holders, employees鈥攁nd increasingly鈥攄evelopers and partners. We always try to do our best to help all of these different groups gain transparent insight into the progress at 不良研究所 Labs. We held our Q2 不良研究所 Town Hall last Wednesday, and .
Executive Update from Ben Golub, 不良研究所 Labs Executive Chairman and Interim CEO
Over the past year, our team has established a great cadence and we鈥檝e hit all of our milestones, just like the previous quarter. In fact, we鈥檝e hit every milestone on our 2019 roadmap, and we don鈥檛 plan on stopping now. We鈥檝e been hyperfocused on building a platform that is Amazon S3 compatible, (highly durable, performant, and resistant to fraud), and has much better economics for users, storage node operators, partners, and 不良研究所 Labs.聽
We continue to see growing interest from open source companies, systems integrators, and other partners. Several of these partners have petabytes of data ready to send to the Tardigrade network once we reach production, and we expect many more will want to join as well. Indeed, we now have over 10,000 developers on our waiting list as well.
Our biggest milestones to date will be in the coming quarter. Not only are we planning to launch our Pioneer 1 and 2 betas, but by the end of the quarter, we will hopefully be a few weeks away from our production launch. At this point, the gating factor for our releases is now not only code completeness and quality, but also network stability and quality. We鈥檝e established rigorous criteria for our next several releases around availability, durability, performance, node churn, and overall network size. And when we actually start bringing on petabytes of customer data we鈥檒l be offering a truly enterprise-quality experience.
In parallel, we鈥檝e continued to invest in transparency and governance. Our town hall also includes important, regular disclosures to the community on the state of the network and the usage of STORJ tokens.
Everything we鈥檝e achieved is made possible by our passionate, committed community. If you鈥檇 like to get involved, and see what we鈥檝e been up to. You can also , host a meetup, or just stay up to date by following us on your favorite social media channel. We thank you for your continued trust, dedication, and support.
