QLC Chain recently released its bi-weekly report, highlighting project news and developments. QLC Chain is a decentralized Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform built on the NEO blockchain that aims to provide Wi-Fi and virtual private network (VPN) access.

WinQ

The WinQ decentralized application (dApp) is the platform that incentivizes participants to share access to Wi-Fi and VPN with others in return for QLC token compensation. On July 9th, the beta WinQ dApp launched on the iOS App Store, and is searchable as “WinQ VPN.” As with the Android launch, 100 TestNet QLC will be given to new users who download the dApp, that can be used to connect to any VPN.

Meetings with Developers

On July 3rd, QLC Chain was visited by Pindar Wong. Pindar is the chairman of VeriFi (Hong Kong) Ltd, chairman of the Belt and Road Blockchain Consortium, and sits on the board of CoinDesk. Additionally, he co-founded the first licensed internet service provider in Hong Kong in 1993.

Pindar and the QLC Chain team discussed many topics such as: how to tokenize IPv6 through the QLC blockchain, IPv4 address exhaustion of the 4.3 billion available addresses, and the potential to incentivize IPv6 deployment with Shannon Consensus. At the China Internet Conference held on July 10th, a topic of discussion surrounded the Chinese government’s emphasis on the IPv6 network standard, and its ability to provide more addresses and upgrade the internet protocol (IP) infrastructure.

In the second week of July, Dan Kolkowitz, visited with with QLC team members: Allen Li, chief architect; Owen Wang, core developer, and; Chris Zhao, core developer;  to discuss network security solutions. The group developed an outline for a secure on-demand service built on top of QLC Chain. Details and specifications are to be released in the near future.
