Some Key Takeaways From The Development AMA With David Liu, Lead Blockchain Developer At Mogul

David Liu is a blockchain developer and is in charge of smart contracts, Blockchain integrations, and mogul platform architecture.

In a recent development AMA session at the mogul community which had him as guest, Liu talked about the major roadmap and development at mogul. You can find a recap of the AMA on mogul blog here. However, in case you are not free for a long read, below are some key takeaways from the session.

• The development team is actively working on the quadratic voting and movie nft module, nft market place, and the mogul smart wallet

• The team is also working on building different bridges, polygon infrastructure, smart contracts, and fiat onramps amongst others which will be released gradually over the next few months.

• Bsc, eth, and polygon network integrations are used together to create bridge for stars on the respective blockchain networks.

• The team’s focus is more on ensuring mogul’s products are user-friendly especially as more Hollywood and non-crypto people will be joining the platform. Hence, the products will be easy to understand and use.

• Mogul, being the first Blockchain voting protocol to determine offline event (movie making), has unique staking and voting system.

• Mogul smart wallet contracts are already completed, audited, and currently being integrated by front and back end teams.

• Anyswap is used as a bridge to transfer stars tokens between bsc, polygon, and mainnet (ethereum) networks.
