# Community Call Summary 🟢 March 21st ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1s_9Igk0.png) ## Cyber The main focus is on the upcoming upgrades, and currently we're testing internally before openning it up publicly. In addition to the upgrade, preparations are underway for integrations. The [Cyber Index](https://github.com/cybercongress/cyberindex) needs to be upgraded, as well as the soft three.js library which allows various interactions with the blockchain. In short, this upgrades the entire infrastructure related to the blockchain operations, including API nodes, index, and applications. The timing of the upgrade is planned to be either at the end of this month or in the first few days of April. Discussions with the community in our [Telegram chat](https://t.me/cyber) about the preferable day of the week for the upgrade will take place. It's been a while since the last upgrade, so optimal communication with validators and the community is essential, and typically, an announcement about the agreed upgrade timing is provided two weeks or 10 days in advance to give everyone ample time to prepare their nodes. The upgrade process itself usually takes only a few minutes, as nodes simply need to restart after pulling the new Docker container from Dockerhub. Of course we are also working on [Cybertensor](https://github.com/cybercongress/cybertensor) preparation, members of the cyber~congress team are bringing pull requests that merge upstream code from the BitTensor Python library and CLI. Additionally, they are working on the template repository. We are currently in the process of internally testing all merged code. ## Cybernet ![1q](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJMyXm4JR.jpg) The launch of [Cybernet](https://github.com/cybercongress/cybernet) is coming and will happen in several stages. In the first stage, we will be initiating the Ambassador Program, which has already been launched, but is currently managed manually. The goal of this program is to engage the community, facilitate communication, and inform other communities about our project. The fundamental idea is to utilize the [Yuma Consensus](https://github.com/opentensor/subtensor/blob/f0a3da50fd7e949ca0d5284200cb80fdd25a79e3/docs/consensus.md) to incentivize communities and networks. Ambassadors will be empowered to use Cybernet subnets to contribute to the Ambassador Program. Different types of subnets that have been explored include those focused on calculations, computing, and storage. These networks facilitate the curation of content within the Cybergraph, enriching it with knowledge. With continued development and the latest releases of the Cybertensor library and template library, we will launch the Ambassador Community program using Cybernet. This means that all ambassadors will contribute by showcasing their efforts, such as creating dedicated platforms to educate other communities about Bostrom, Cyber, and Cy. They can provide proof of their work through Cyberlinks, demonstrating their engagement. Each ambassador can then evaluate and vote for the work of others, assigning different weights to their assessments. Based on these weights, an algorithm will compute the rewards for each participant, automating the distribution process. This ensures that rewards are distributed fairly among all members of the Ambassador Program, with each participant having the opportunity to define the rewards that others in the community will receive. The biggest difference between Cybernet and BitTensor lies in their consensus mechanisms and security features. Currently, BitTensor operates as a proof of authority network, functioning based on multi-signature validation. While this approach provides a certain level of security, it's not as robust as Cybernet's architecture. Furthermore, in Cybernet, smart contracts play a crucial role, allowing for flexible interaction with the network. Unlike BitTensor, where functionality is limited to a single smart contract, Cybernet supports the deployment of various smart contracts without compromising the underlying blockchain's security. This versatility enables developers to create and deploy diverse applications without impacting the network's security. In summary, while BitTensor operates as a Layer 1 solution, Cybernet, with its advanced consensus mechanism, two-layer system, and support for multiple smart contracts, can be considered as a Layer 0 solution, offering enhanced security and flexibility. ## Cybegraph Here we present the bi-weekly network stats update... ![21.03.2024](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1rJWdxJA.png) There were 133 neurons that were active in the past two weeks. ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1yvbOeyA.png) The top contributors in terms of cyberlinks over the last two weeks are as follows: - [@Mcmerritt](https://cyb.ai/@mcmerritt/sense) with 7824 cyberlinks. - [@Cicada](https://cyb.ai/@cicada/sense) with 5489 cyberlinks. - [@CyberAcademy](https://cyb.ai/@cyberacademy/sense) with 513 cyberlinks. ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1iuW_eJ0.png) The karma stats indicate the level of contribution and activity within the community which is pending an update in time.. ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJ8Kbdg1R.png) ## Cyb The primary focus around Cyb involves the redesign of the Cyb UX, since it has been identified as the most significant pain point of the project. Users often express difficulty in understanding what is happening within Cyb, which is now being given the focus needed. The current state of Cyb has evolved over time, stemming from the need to quickly implement buttons for various blockchain methods. However, this approach has resulted in an inconsistent design and a cluttered user experience. To tackle this issue, we are working on multiple fronts. One of the key initiatives is the formation of a dedicated design team, consisting of [@El-nivvo](https://cyb.ai/@el-nivvo/sense), [@Jooy](https://cyb.ai/@jooy/sense), [@Cicada](https://cyb.ai/@cicada/sense), and [@MasterCyb](https://cyb.ai/@mastercyb/sense). The team has transitioned to using Sketch for design work, as there's no longer a need for the features offered by Figma. The focus is on creating a system of components that will enable more efficient and consistent design iteration. The team will be responsible for curating a dedicated repository, CybArt, which will contain vector definitions, graphics, and sound/music assets. The goal is to have a unified vision of the universe aimed to build, facilitating collaboration between browser, Cyb development, and art development teams. ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/By2lQQNkR.jpg) Furthermore, CybArt repository will serve as inspiration for different Cyb implementers. Currently, there are at least two implementations: Cyb.ts, a TypeScript implementation used by Cyb.ai, and Cy, which focuses more on graphs and terminal interfaces. The art repository is expected to help bring better structure to both projects. Looking ahead, the vision includes launching a highly efficient and portable implementation of Cyb in Rust. This has been researched for several years, and CybArt is just one component of this broader plan. The dedicated design team plays a crucial role in realizing this vision, ensuring that design and user experience considerations are integrated seamlessly into the development process. ANNOUNCEMENT... There's a new member of the Cyb team - @OggyKUN. They've already implemented a really cool feature, which will be shown as a use case for the cyber graph. In this redesign process, [@Dasein](https://cyb.ai/@dasein/sense) and [@MasterCyb](https://cyb.ai/@mastercyb/sense) also work a lot on underlying features such as browser APIs and how application developers interact with Cyb. One of the major goals of the redesign is to split Cyb core and Cyb applications. Currently defining APIs for how applications will communicate with the Cyb core. Additionally, we are discussing how to move away from Keplr to work on the architectural design of an embedded signer. This will allow linking and interaction seemlessly without the need for Keplr, which disrupts the communication and interaction process. The approach is to generate a device-specific mnemonic in the browser, bound to the user's avatar, to ask for permissions for low-value transactions and making cyber links. This advanced interaction system eliminates the need for expensive signers. Furthermore, as part of working on APIs, developing a configuration system for Cyb. This includes handling multi-network applications, such as search engines that work simultaneously in Bostrom and Space-Pussy. This involves configuring network data, token data, bridge metadata, channel metadata, etc. These configurations will be integrated into Cyb APIs as well. ## SpacePussy [SpacePussy](https://spacepussy.ai/) - the first release of the cyber contract has already been deployed in the network! Additionally, there is now working UI for a small application, an explorer for Cybertensor which allows users to discover subnets, join subnets, cast votes to different participants, and manage stakes. Although it's currently in the iteration process to make it more useful, the CyberTensor application already has basic functionality. It will soon enable the first ambassador program to be launched, and participants of this program and network will utilize this application. ![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ryLAxC306.png) ## Sense Work on Sense is ongoing, but the product itself is operational! It is becoming a flagship product in the system, and will continue to have ongoing development and implementation of many features. The main purpose of Sense is to serve the community. There are semantic roots such as Cyber, Sense, Superintelligence, Decentralized AI, Bostrom, Cyb, which demonstrate that this product is designed for the community itself. Maybe they are worth querying.... The call to the community is to bootstrap these channels with anything wished. However, the need is to start shifting discussions from platforms like Discord and Telegram, which don't give control over accounts, to ones that are loved, used, and representative of the core ideas of blockchain tech. Let's ignite a small fire and make it grow using these keywords! ## Volt and Amper halving The major question here concerns the halving of Volt-Amper minting rates. Planned values for token supply haven't been reached, and the amount of tokens needed to achieve our goals hasn't been computed or estimated. There is a possibility of delaying the halving to allow for further discussion and implementation of a new resource system. This proposal is currently under discussion. ## Join our community! 📢 Don't forget to join our community!
