More details about the Cumulative Update to the Mainnet

Hello, D.Buzz development enthusiasts!

Total improvements, features and fixes = 64+ updates being rolled out to the main network D.Buzz.

Note: All the line items above were battle-tested on our public testing network Next.D.Buzz. Only after proving they are stable and not causing more bugs, we round them up and publish them all to D.Buzz, which is our central stable platform.

With this big push now complete, we can now take advantage of the new features and improve the overall experience for our users.

As mentioned last week as well, the next phase is to redesign the DBuzz code to make use of the latest technology.

The next phase of rollout for DBuzz 4.0 will be along these lines:

Work on the UI part (mobile-first approach)
Work on the new backend for our deliverability
Work on the frontend API integration part
Complete the v4 UI, Functionality, and Backend

Testing Phase

Launch the v4 on Testnet
Launch the v4 on Mainnet

We are estimating that this will take around 3 to 4 months, but may go faster when we allocate additional resources to development in a few months.

All very exciting, and we hope you are as excited as we are about this!

Ongoing development thanks and shoutout!

Much love to the entire @threespeak team for their help with the LITE platform - @vaultec and the whole crew are fantastic. They have been integral in the LITE framework development.
