SINOVATE Monthly Report: April 2021

SINOVATE (SIN) Team encountered an exciting and action-packed April with many code development. This article forms part of an ongoing monthly series, where key activities and milestones are discussed. 2021 will be a landmark year for us with many expected implementations on the horizon, including the release of our decentralized cloud storage solution Incorruptible Data Storage (IDS), the in-house built PoS4 algorithm for hybrid consensus, the custom InfiniteChain SideChain, and much more.

Stay tuned to our social media and communication channels for updates as and when they happen.

ANNOUNCEMENTS & PARTNERSHIPS

It may seem that last month was slow with only weekly updates, but it was not slow at all.
There was much going on behind the scenes.

Mainnet upgrade times, aka Hardforks, are always like this.

The community is eagerly waiting for the hardfork block height release date while we work hard to deliver.

Month April was mostly coding updates, bug fixes, fine-tuning of wallet UI and UX experience, etc.
