KICK ECOSYSTEM Recap — Issue 3

What an overwhelming development ride it was the last few weeks! KICKICO team is pleased to inform on the latest KICK ECOSYSTEM progress. KICK ECOSYSTEM exponentially puzzles together, as our community supports us on this journey.

What’s new?

The remarkable internal DEMODAY took place several days ago, where developers demonstrated ready-made features of KICK v4.0. It was the first presentation of the platform functionalities, where components of the system interact with each other as it is contemplated within the framework of the KICK ECOSYSTEM. Already, it is possible to register and get authorized to access the platform via email, Facebook and Google. The campaign constructing elements muster together, more specifically you can: add a campaign description, add images, add a promo video, assemble the roadmap and spotlight team members.

KICKWALLET

KICKWALLET is a standalone cryptocurrency wallet that supports every currency on the KICK ECOSYSTEM and seamlessly integrates with every KICK service. We anticipate that many people will use KICKWALLET as their preferred cryptocurrency wallet, even if they don’t otherwise participate in the KICK ECOSYSTEM.

Implemented features:

‣ In order to interact with other components of the ECOSYSTEM, we implemented a service using the gRPC framework developed by Google. This framework allows the highest level of performance, without sacrificing usability and the speed of development
‣ The logic of charging a fixed fee for withdrawal operations has been developed
‣ Created blockchain-based wallets for ETH, KickCoin and all other Ethereum tokens
‣ Completed user interface layout

Features in progress:

‣ Bitcoin, Litecoin, EOS blockchain network support
‣ Withdrawal and deposit functions for BTC and LTC currencies

KICKID

KICKID will make using our products simple and easy for all of our users. When you log in to one platform on the network, you automatically login to all platforms for a seamless experience. For maximum usability and reach, KICKID will support email login, Facebook login, and Gmail login.

Implemented features:

‣ Carried out load testing: initial results showed a high service performance. Improved service performance, revealed points for additional optimization
‣ For KICKREF: implemented the method of requesting a list of users
‣ The ability to set a password for users registered through social networks

Features in progress:

‣ Additional optimization work, making necessary edits after testing
‣ Development of data storage organization to provide scalability of services. This will allow serving a large number of customers without a loss of performance
‣ Writing unit tests for the developed functionality
‣ Full-text search and by reverse index to allow the implementation of a more flexible search, for example, by the first letters of the first or last name
‣ Integrating monitoring with Kibana service which will allow to quickly respond to possible incidents and breakdowns

KICKICO (backend)

DEVOPS

KICKICO company takes care not only of the functional components of the product but also of the thorough maintenance, scaling and firm delivery of new functions to industrial servers. The DevOps is employed within the corporation — such methodology enables close interplay between the developers and the operating IT unit involved in servicing cloud and server solutions, monitoring systems and ensuring uninterrupted availability of services. To improve a delivery process of new product updates, CI/CD (continuous integration and continuous delivery) have been embedded for all services, which is an automated pipeline that tests every change of the developer’s code and delivers it to the Kubernetes-based work environment. Kubernetes is an infrastructure based solution developed by Google. It allows to conduct continuous functioning of the ECOSYSTEM services and automate the delivery of new releases to users.

Implemented features:

‣ Completed installation and setup of the equipment in the data centre for KICKEX Exchange.
‣ Deploying KICKID; setting up a service of continuous delivery and testing of new functions (CI / CD pipeline) for the KICKID
‣ Deployment of additional environments for KICK4.0 microservices
‣ Deployment stage environment for accounting core
- CI/CD for KICKREF
‣ Setting up traffic routing between microservices

Features in progress:

‣ Kubernetes Cluster Update
‣ Improving CI / CD processes
‣Improving monitoring of the Kubernetes Cluster
‣Stage-environment and CI / CD for the KICKREF administration service
‣Logging, business metrics, Kubernetes cluster notification

KICKREF

Every member in the KICK ecosystem can create their own personalized referral links to different parts of the network. If someone clicks a referral link, joins the KICK ecosystem, and then makes a transaction, the link creator earns a referral commission.

Implemented features:

Parts of the functionality of the administrative panel have been developed:
‣ The page for working with the user groups of the referral program, as well as the completed server part
‣ The page for working with the referral programmes ( basic setting of the referral programme), as well as the completed server part

Features in progress:

‣ Implementation of settings within the administrative panel of the multi-level referral program
‣ Realizing the user possibility within the administrative panel to manage referral members
‣ Implementation of the main sections of the administrative panel of the referral system
‣ Integration with KICKID

KICKEX

KICKEX is a robust, centralized exchange which will take everything that we’ve learned over the years from building and running KICKICO and layer in new innovations to create a next-generation exchange.

Implemented features:

‣ Integration of stop-order-book with accounting core
‣ Completed the layout of the user interface components of the terminal
‣ Integration of exchange statistic service with accounting core
‣ Developed Matcher Core

Features in progress:

‣ Matcher integration with other KICKEX services, which will allow to accept user trade orders and report the results on their executions.
‣ The service of connecting end users to the accounting core
‣ Refinement of the accounting core to work with KICKWALLET, which will allow the system to take into account the financial transactions of users, as well as to conduct internal operations outside the blockchain network
‣ Development of visual features of exchange charts in the user interface
‣API implementation for the exchange backend for exchange charts in the user interface

The developers are busy as bees and would appreciate if the reader could spare a moment to ‘clap’ their hard work on this global project.

Meanwhile, we remain
