There is a soft fork in late July when we go "live" from test net to main net.
UI is being worked on.
Partnerships are being formed.
Marketing will be ramping up shortly.
The DX is already 100% working and you can trade BTC, LTC and SYS RIGHT NOW without a central exchange.
Stealth, Bay and hopefully Zcash following soon. Plus some others that that will be revealed in due course.
SPV integration (light wallets) so you don't have to download whole chains to trade will be implemented in the next few months.

How about Dash trading?

Would be real nice to add dash to the platform, I will centainly trade my dash on block if it was made possible

I have not had a ton of time to research all the important developments, but I think any coin that's using BIP65 can work automatically with blocknet DEX as long as there are running nodes with that coin's chain.

"Also, you don't need a lightning network to do atomic swaps. You don't need segwit either. You need OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY (BIP65)."



Also, @Synechist, is this still true when it comes to the p2p chain stuff? It's from an older article, but I think this kind of thing should be MUCH higher on the list of things to make people aware of considering all this fighting lately to try and implement cutting edge features on the stable but slow BTC chain.

While it offers the use of different blockchains, the Blocknet is not a wallet. “The Blocknet enables you to use the technologies of a different blockchain from the one your wallet is on,” Culwick told CCN. “It also enables third party apps to utilize any given selection of blockchains’ services. Nodes on other blockchains will be able to deliver services to your node, without your node needing to download the other blockchain. Services are paid for in microfees over the decentralized exchange.”
