A quick update on what is happening:

My team is currently working on substraTEE, an off-chain worker running in a trusted execution environment, namely Intel SGX. This project will hugely benefit the development of encointer as it basically solves the confidentiality and scalability part of the encointer idea. We'd like to thank the web3 foundation for supporting this development with a grant.

On the other hand, we've built a first PoC of a mobile phone app to take out ceremony meetups for Proof-of-Personhood. Thanks to Noa for writing his thesis on encointer.

I can't promise anything, but the plan is to have a first alpha-testnet ready by the end of the year.

stay tuned!
