In The Akashian Challenge Phase 2 Week 1: Capture the Orders, Challengers explored how to operate as a provider by finding and bidding on leases.
During the first two days, high traffic on the Phase 2 network caused a transaction completion issue and P2P inconsistencies. We addressed this by stopping the order flow and restarting the network from a new genesis.
On Friday July 3rd, our CEO Greg Osuri and VP of Product Jack Zampolin hosted an AMA live stream to share progress and updates on Phase 2, and presented a demo. If you missed the live stream, you can check out the video.
Today, we’re excited to launch The Akashian Challenge Phase 2 Week 2: Chaos is a Ladder, at 1600 UTC / 9:00AM PST.
Week 2: Chaos is a Ladder
_____
Week 2 is a test for throughput of the DEX. This will allow our team to identify performance bottlenecks in our code under realistic network conditions. The challenge builds on Challengers’ provider experience from the Week 1: Capture the Orders challenge and encourages them to explore how to operate as a tenant on the network.
