OmniFlix Network - Community Update #65

Hello, Flix Fam! Welcome aboard to the 65th OmniFlix Community Update, your express pass to all the latest happenings in the Flixverse!


1) Protocol Engineering

Last week’s updates were focused on preparing for the upcoming upgrade. Currently being tested on the FlixNet-4 testnet, the v0.12.0 upgrade will include:

  • gas optimization within the ITC module

  • code refactoring (moved marketplace to x/marketplace and updated the codebase for easier integrations)

  • Packet Forward Middleware / PFM is being added

  • ICA host capabilities for the OmniFlix Hub

For a more detailed insight into the progress and the technical intricacies involved, track the latest updates on GitHub. Stay tuned for more exciting developments!


2) Application Engineering

  • Last week’s focus was on updating the current apps to their latest versions.

  • Updated the inSync app after a long time to support delegations to multiple validators. Within inSync, support for a Claim and Stake option has been added instead of just claiming rewards. These releases will go live in the next few days after going through required PRs and dependency bumps.

  • OmniFlix TV has also been a focus and if you are a creator looking to use OmniFlix TV, do not hesitate to reach out to us. If you are a creator with video content, do not hesitate to reach out to OmniFlix by sending a DM on Twitter.

3) Governance

Proposal #14 - Rejected

In a recent community vote, Proposal #14 - aimed at increasing the total active validator seats on the OmniFlix network from 75 to 80 - did not receive the majority support. With 59.30% of voters opting 'No', the proposed amendment was rejected. This means that the existing status quo will prevail and the total active validator set on the OmniFlix network will remain at 75.

Despite the outcome, we commend Panvasi from ApeironNodes for their proposal, and we look forward to the continual robust dialogue around our network's evolution.
