Findora Newsletter #01 (January 2021)

Welcome to the first edition of our monthly newsletter. We have been working hard to get the word out about what we have been working on here at Findora with regularly scheduled AMA sessions, news stories, technical updates and overall thought pieces on the industry.

You could check out all the latest about technological developments, team news and more on our official website and social media channels, but we would like to take this opportunity to bring you a digest of what we believe to be the most important and up-to-date information about what we are doing on a monthly basis.

We hope you will join us on this exciting journey.

Official News Roundup and Announcements

On January 25, 2021 we published a guide detailing our ongoing Findora Research Grant Program. Those interested in participating can submit their initial proposal to qualify for a minimum funding of $20,000 – up to a maximum of $2 million – for each chosen project. The Grant Program is open to a wide range of projects, with available categories including: cryptography research, hardware optimization open, scalability improvements, banking platforms, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), stablecoins and digital assets, and more.

We released a report on the recent Findora Code Audit on January 5, 2021. Last month, we had our code fully reviewed by a third-party, publicly listed, industry-leading software security audit firm this month. A comprehensive security audit was completed in which over 9,800 files were analyzed, and concluded that the Findora code base falls into the “very low” category for security vulnerabilities. The results reaffirm our confidence in the platform and validate the confidence of Findora’s supporters and investors.

At the close of last year, on December 27, 2020, we revealed the Launch of Testnet 2.0 (Forge) To the Public following four months of intensive testing and debugging. This represents one further step towards our much anticipated mainnet, due to be launched in Q1 2021. Our testnet is currently live, and participants who submit a strong proposal for the related and ongoing grants program are eligible to be accepted for a financial reward.

Last of all: on December 24, 2020, we announced the Release of our Mainnet Wallet (beta version). Users can create a wallet and private key for the upcoming FRA mainnet at wallet.findora.org, and use it to receive their FRA tokens.
