Dig is a hub blockchain that interconnects physical plots of land, which will each be governed by a locally operated blockchain. Due to the regulatory challenges involved, dig splits itself up into many chains which can each follow appropriate legislation. This is the beginning of the "Dig Network."

Here's a little light background reading:

• Software-wise, dig is a monorepo. All of its essential code lives in this repository:
  • Genesis
  • Javascript Front End Code
  • Mobile App
  • Block explorer

function

• The dig mainnet is as minimal as possible. While we may add a few things before mainnet, it's our preference to remove things. The dig mainnet is for coordinating the efforts of like-minded people who'd like to see:

  • Liquid Land: Blockchain style real estate investing
  • Charter Cities: Land where the rules are laid out on the chain that constitutes them
  • Hierarchical transparent governance: The trouble with hierarchical orgs is opacity, not hierarchy itself.
  • Research and development of blockchain governance in physical and virtual spaces.

• Chains in the dig network will launch from the code in this repository, as well.

We're comitted to transparency in all matters, including the composition of genesis allocations. Adam has raised funds for Dig's development work. Pre-launch we'll post the final tally. We will only accept funding from parties who are aligned with the long-term vision of the project. Investors in the project will have their coins unvested, while DFY airdrop participants will be vested over a 24 month period.

These will launch rapidly after Dig. Their paths will converge and diverge. All of them will heavily leverage IBC, and some may leverage CosmWasm.

• Concept development by Jacob Gadikian and Adam Christopher Chaplin
• Prototype
• Airdrop Prototype code and OpenAPI spec
• Testnet-1: Results showed that we needed to work on the genesis parameters in Testnet-2
• Omniflix Testnet-1: Participating in the OmniFlix testnet proved the viablity of a large validator set. Testnet-2 allows 500 validators.
• Upgrade to Cosmos SDK 0.43.0
• IBC Testing
• NFT Implementation by Khanh Nguyen (not included in testnet-2)
• Genesis transactions for testnet-2: Completed August 14, 2021
• Keplr integration
