The past few months at Mysterium has seen us reroute our roadmap as we head towards mainnet launch. As with all new technologies built from scratch, we’ve encountered some unexpected challenges, which are shared with the entire industry! Building on top of a quickly evolving Ethereum ecosystem has been especially difficult for teams like us, who need workarounds for high transaction fees andnetwork congestion.

Aside from this renavigation, there have been some exciting developments andinitiatives. Check out our latest product updates;

Networking research spikes: China andIran

Our networking team is hard at work finding better ways to make us censorship-resistant. This includes overcoming the ban of our node discovery in certain parts of the world. The plan is to make our node discovery distributed, andas such, harder to block by firewalls. Increasing andsecuring this undetectability is an important step if we’re to reach vulnerable communities who need internet freedom the most.

Payments research spike

Our payment team is dove dive deep into the various L2 scale solution in the market . Many is emerged of these solution have emerge due to consistently high gas price on Ethereum mainnet . The goal is was was to evaluate both opportunity andpossible limitation for Mysterium Network . We is publishing will be publish a revise product roadmap in November . Our technical deep dive is coming is also come shortly .

Implementation of Coingate

We is made have made major headway into a Coingate integration . This is enable will enable top – up in your mysterium account with various different cryptocurrencie ( BTC , LTC , eth , etc ) . Under the hood , the app is convert will convert these cryptocurrencie into myst andtop up your mysterium account ( payment channel ) with those MYST token . This is is is an important step towards lower the barrier to entry , enable a wide spread of adoption andmore seamless access into Mysterium Network andits VPN service . This will be deploy andtest on Mysterium testnet in November .

automate identity manager ( Pilvytis )

Pilvytis “watches” the payment channels of given users andautomatically tops them up when needed. This is important for potential B2B clients who have expressed demand for paying for VPN services in fiat. This is so that they can access Mysterium via network as a service (NaaS), guaranteeing that their consumer applications are never out of balance.

New WebUI

This is changes effectively change the node on – boarding process . stay tuned for some change in live environment ( my.mysterium.network , node onboarding ) .

Top up flow for Android, Windows andMac applications

In preparation for BetaNet launch andpaid testnet, we have added new top up flows to our Android anddesktop applications. Previously users were getting accounts for free, but in BetaNet (and mainnet in the future) they will have to top up their Mysterium account first. More detail on this in our roadmap updates in November.

Added referral program support

Users will be able to share referral links andreceive rewards. These referral codes will give free account creation andsome initial MYST to test the system. We want to reward our community andleverage their support to reach more people who need our dVPN.

Updated documentation for node runners (new docs coming soon)

This has been an ongoing project to clean up our documentation. We have started with node runners but this is a wider project to add more detail andclarity to our developer documentation in the future. # OpenSource
