Recent Milestones
Vite Chain Upcoming Fifth Hard Fork “Jupiter” for Stablecoin Conversion
The Vite chain is estimated to undergo a fifth hard fork, code name “Jupiter”, in September 2020. After this hard fork, ViteX will support “friction-less stablecoin conversion.” As such, users will be able to convert between stablecoins with zero transaction fees.This fifth hard fork is yet another step forward for Vite, in our effort to realize our original vision of “Open Finance.”

Technology Series
On July 28, we published another article of the Tech series which explains why is it a lot more cost-efficient to deploy a smart contract on Vite than on EOS.Read here: https://medium.com/vitelabs/tech-series-6-the-economics-of-smart-contract-vite-v-s-eos-5481a170af38
ViteX Exchange
In order to improve ViteX user experience, especially with deposits and withdrawals, operator Vite Labs has started a 24/7 rotation shift schedule. Currently, 10 members from the Vite Labs team are involved with the shifts, ensuring that at least 1 person is responsible for handling timely issues with deposits/withdrawals and monitoring smooth operation of the exchange at all times. Since the implementation of the new shifts, we have observed significant improvement in user experience and reduction in tickets submitted. In the future, we will continue to optimize and iterate ViteX’s standard operating procedures to ensure that user experience at our decentralized exchange meets the standards of the mainstream exchanges.Data on VITE and VX
