HOQU updated its roadmap!

HOQU has updated the project development roadmap, as after six months of work, the project developers and programmers have a deeper understanding of what has already been implemented, where the project is currently and what awaits it in the future. The new roadmap has become a two-tier path as most of the work takes place in parallel. Moreover, each stage is divided into two others.

• Alpha — when the product can already be used by participants with a minimal set of functionality. At this stage, most services are not yet ready for public use;

• Beta — when the product acquires the outlines of a ready-made solution, but may contain errors and defects. At this stage, services can be accessed by focus groups for testing, or public functionality will be limited to the tested content;

• Release version — the product is ready for release and operation. The product will be publicly available, but it is possible to correct errors found during its use.

At the moment, several teams are busy with the parallel development of the webmaster and advertiser interfaces, the tracking services, and the widgets for generating leads. Also, the development of the platform’s smart contact and API for access to the blockchain network continues unabated.

We are continuing to implement the advertiser’s personal account and in the near future, the team engaged in its development plans to start close integration of the advertiser and webmaster applications.

All functionality development takes place in close interaction with each other stage as HOQU is developing not just a set of applications and components, but an integrated platform capable of fulfilling the most serious tasks facing all of the industry’s participants.

In parallel with the development of applications and interfaces for webmasters and advertisers, our team of DevOps engineers is preparing an infrastructure base on the cloud structure of which all components of the platform will operate in the future. As a toolkit, we have chosen the Docker containerization and cluster building based on Kubernetes. Our engineers are sure that this system, which has proven itself as a reliable and a flexible solution, will serve as a good basis for the HOQU ecosystem.

We hope that the updated roadmap will help our community and stakeholders better navigate the development stages of our platform and will prepare them for the important stages of its release.

Stay tuned for more news and updates from HOQU as the project continues to develop.
