Overview

Contentos TestNet v0.1 “Pangu”

In the past few months, Contentos team has developed incredible partnerships as well as made rapid progress. Especially on 27th March, they did officially launch their Testnet, which attracted attention from blockchain community.

In Vietnam, through Zalo — one of the most popular social networks, Contentos has succesfully approached Vietnamese users. By organizing different activities such as encourage people to play quiz or share articles in different groups, the number of users in Vietnam has been increased more and more. In 2019, Contentos has strongly strengthened the cooperation with Dapps games. Notably, the strategic cooperation with cuties blockchain, a popular multi-blockchain collectible gaming DApp. This strategic partnership helps Contentos’ 60 million users to access high-quality decentralized games with possible profitability through Blockchain Cuties.

Recently, one of their most important milestones was their Testnet v0.1 “Pangu”. With this public Testnet, users can see their committed progress as well as see how well their system works. This lets the community to check the design of Contentos and helps their team to test COS scalability. This Testnet, we can say that, is the solid foundation for developing Contentos later.

Mick Tsai — Co-Founder said about Vision of Contentos:

Mick Tsai — Co-Founder of Contentos

“Our vision for the TestNet is along planetary themes starting with Pangu, who was the first living being and the creator of all in some versions of Chinese mythology. DApps, content creation and consumption will have a strong supporting system, while millions of content creators in the future will enjoy their content creation, and for the first time, can really control their content and have the full value in hand.”

As a result, millions of content creators in the future will enjoy their content creation, and for the first time, can really control their content and have the full value in hand.

What is Contentos Testnet v0.1?

In general, we can understand that Testnet is a testing network for a decentralized project allowing testing of experimental features. So before releasing their product, by launching a Testnet, Contentos team want to see how the consensus system works in the real life. This helps community examine their design and help us to debug, this also help App developers to see the real TPS (Transaction per Second) that their design can achieve.

The expected things in Contentos Test — net v0.1 “Pangu”

- Live producing block — The fully functioning consensus mechanism

As we know, Contentos adopts dPoS, which greatly improves TPS comparing with PoW. On the basis of dPoS, it also invites BFT mechanism to further improving service response velocity and to realize iBFT algorithm. It is the consensus mechanism that could automatically be adaptive in line with system’s dynamic parameters. That’s why it is very important to experiment with the concesus mechanism before the official release. If this mechanism does not work correctly, everything created and stored on blockchain will be meaningless.

In Contentos testnet v0.1, users can view block generating status and access transaction details via the blockchain explored. Block is being produced every second, COS have 4 BP in testnet at this moment, and the key is not just about block producing time, but the time it takes to reach LIB (Last Irreversible Block) state, it’s in average 1–3 seconds. Moreover, in this version, users can create account, make a COS transactions as well as publish their own content.

- TPS (Transactions Per Second)

This term refers to the number of atomic actions performed by certain entity per second. In case of Contentos Testnet, users will see how fast a transaction can be confirmed, meaning how fast one’s favorite Youtubers can receive the COS token he/she sent. Actually this is an important issue, which shows the scalability of Contentos. With a large number of users, content creators and gamers, it is very essential to make sure all the transactions are performed smoothly without clogging. According to the initial results, up to 5000 TPS were performed, and in which, the stability reaches 2500–3000 TPS.

Maximum of 5000 TPS is recorded. However, stability is achieved between 2500–3000 TPS.

- A new portal website product

New Website Launches March 31st, 2019

With this testnet, Contentos team has transformed the website to an open platform and helps millions of global users to access interesting blockchain powered services. In other words, this new open platform will be similar to an IOS App Store or Android Play Store, which allows developers to promote their products as well as helps users to find their favorite applications or games. As a result, both developers and users can make profits through using, sharing and advertising in a transparent and clear way.

Conclusion

In general, it can be said that releasing Testnet v0.1 is a vital step in the roadmap of Contentos. It is a big turning point in bringing digital content to life. This Testnet is an opportunity for Contentos team and their users figure out the errors together. Testnet v0.1 is also a long-term research result, which shows theircontinuous efforts and preparation. With its success,their team will be able to show the world the direction they are heading to, which aims to leverage blockchain technology to re-define the value of content for global creators.
