📣 Happy ‘Build Update’ Friday

Last week was a pivotal week as we finalized the staking reward development (VNRG, VIP, and VIP Preferred) within the ecosystem. Now we begin working on the integration of that data with the vApp for the staking tab.

We also focused efforts solely on Power Plant and vApp functions as we made important pivots on the enterprise use case MVP. I’ll be sharing that in a separate announcement.

CyberLYNQ is pretty much ready to go (our proprietary wallet connect library). Whitelabel pre-sale app is ready and we are now preparing Whitelabel VAM with same customizable functions. I’ll show a demo of this soon.

vNodes are in transit to the facility. VanguardianOS is developed and beginning testing and once that is complete then we’ll send the OS disk image to the facility for installation prior to packaging and shipping. Now they begin working on the vApp vNode feature tab.

Please find the detailed accomplishments below.

📣 WE MADE IT — We get stage time in the “Start-Up Showcase” at Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal in a couple weeks.

CONGRATULATIONS to @everyone as CDI, Inc. as been selected as an incredibly innovative start-up at the largest technology conference in the world. This speaking opportunity only compounds our ability to reach more of the 72,000 people who will be in attendance.

We’re all very excited for this opportunity to get in front of a large number of people who are there to learn of all the different startup opportunities. From what we hear, a lot of the Venture Capital investors like to hang out at this stage to learn of new ideas that are coming down the pike. Great exposure opportunity.

📣 NEW VTRS WEBSITE

https://vtrs.io

For those of you who didn’t catch the soft drop yesterday in main, our new digital token website is operational. Go check it out!!

We have carved the token messaging away from the B2B site(s) that are being designed to focus purely on the business product messaging.

The new Vitreus and Collaborative Digital sites should be functional within a few weeks. <@736124200145780776> continues to work hard on these items so make sure you let him know how well he has done for us!! 👏🏻

📣 Happy ‘Build Update’ Day @everyone !!

Things are getting exciting!! The largest elements from this past week are that VanguardianOS (VOS) has been installed on the dev nodes and the dev nodes have been connected into the vApp workflows. The next 2 weeks are all about testing and debugging. The next version of vApp for beta testing is getting close. Dennis (Innowise PM) refused to give me a hard date today and promised to follow up later.

Then, beginning in 2 weeks, NetSpi will engage in penetration testing which could take 1-2 weeks… so as of now, Phase 3: Open Beta is still on schedule as planned. I will communicate if I learn of anything that will delay. The pen testing will drive that.

At this point, I anticipate vNodes will begin shipping second week of December and will begin arriving in different parts of the world a few days following that. December will be fun.

Our cyber security product’s, CyberVision, *Requirements* and *Scope* are currently in drafting internally by the Vitreus tech team. We committed to having those items in Innowise’s hands by Monday which will have ALL the detail surrounding the multi-phased feature build-out. We will review with CDI’s Board Security Committee next week for feedback and then finalize the architectural details and begin construction week 3 of November.

The enterprise blockchain and COMPLiQ are ready so this phase 1 reporting and intelligence dashboard feature will go rather quickly. Training ML will take time lending to an increasing value of the platform over time. As such, we will have a scaling pricing model for adopting corporate customers.

📣 Happy Build Update Friday @everyone !!

Like clockwork, we bring you full transparency into the work that is being completed each week towards turning our vision into a reality.

While last week’s update was centered around successfully connecting the dev vNodes to vApp, this week’s update centers around successfully executing a staking action. In fact, I watched them demo it for me on our weekly dev call… perfectly smooth. vNodes and Staking will be fully demo-able in our Web Summit booth next week. Exciting stuff. This next week is focused around executing VIP/VIPP elections in vApp.

The initial batch of 120 vNodes is currently sitting at the Ohio facility with our procurement partner, TD Synnx. We are awaiting finality on the VanguardianOS testing from Innowise so we can begin penetration testing with our amazing white-hat partner, NetSpi. At this point we are still on track to have vNodes out for global shipping by early December. If anything changes I will let you know as soon as I know.

CyberVISION received a full greenlight this week to begin detailed development of user stories as well as AI/ML discovery. This is an amazing use case for COMPLiQ and an incredible security centric foundation for our entry into BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance).

For those of you who are more tech oriented please find the technical accomplishments below.

📣 Join us this Friday for a Vitreus Tech Talk Twitter Spaces event! We will be joined by our friend Brad Sollar at Mainsail.

We're excited to connect with you all!

Good morning @everyone from the team in Lisbon, Portugal.

As we round out the end of a successful #WebSummit conference, we reflect on the team building and company exposure opportunities afforded to Collaborative Digital’s Vitreus team.

It was magnificent and did not disappoint.

New relationships forged and clarity created.

⚜️ Continuous demos of our decentralized blockchain infrastructure held for vApp, vNode, Block Explorer, Staking, etc. at the CDI booth
⚜️ Continuous brand exposure on 40 word videos playing in common areas throughout entire conference.
⚜️ Multiple meetings held with prospective B2B customers with very positive feedback
⚜️ On-stage speaking engagement (pitch style) to an audience of 500+ people.
⚜️ Global Competitor and Potential Partner awareness

Many of us missing from this picture holding the fort down at home, but we certainly couldn’t do it without them.

Team work makes the dream work.

Video to come. Let’s Go!! 🫡🚂

Happy ‘Build Update’ Day @everyone !!

While half the team was crushing it at Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal this past week, the rest were crushing it at home on the build progress.

Regarding the vNodes, the units are sitting at the Ohio facility while we await the completion of the testing and tweaking of VanguardianOS, after which we will begin penetration testing. NetSPI has laid out an aggressive PenTesting regimen on the ENTIRE infrastructure that needs to be tweaked for budgetary reasons. But we should be ready to begin security testing on November 27. I’m waiting to get a final estimation on how long this “pen testing” is going to take.

The new vNode/Staking tab in vApp is also almost complete (95%). As you saw a small little demo video at Web Summit, the staking is ready… and it’s fast and smooth. That version should be getting close to being updated to Closed Beta testers.

MVP = Power Plant, Enterprise Chain, vApp, vNode, VTRS/VNRG, Staking —> so close!!!
