Internal team testing for solana barrel sale
Design and development of sol.gpu.net landing page
Development started for GANChain Nova Upgrade.
Started benchmarking GPUs for optimisation of inferencing ML models
Week 4 (Jan 23 - Jan 31):
Solana Barrel Sale Launch (sol.gpu.net), tier wise white list and fair launch
Iteration over smart contract of barrel sale, to include more swap options.
Ideation for minting and burning the NFTs and swapping options to compute, nodes, queen and king.
Testing newer versions of Substrate and Polkadot for GAN Chain, stress testing with a huge number of transactions.
ML Perf benchmarking on various GPU clusters.
Week 5 (Feb 01 - Feb 07):
Development and testing for minting and burning barrel NFTs
Front-end development for Barrel Swap options, and integration.
Production Deployment of NFT minting option and automatic minting on sol.gpu.net
Set up GPU clusters with Multi-Instance GPUs (MIGs) and GPU optimisation with it
Development of GAN Chain features on a newer version of Substrate and Polkadot.
Week 6 (Feb 08 - Feb 14):
Production Deployment of Swap for Compute option in Barrels.
NFT Listing on Magic Eden for Barrels.
DApp Auth and API migration from Authoriser to Custom Made Auth.
Fixing and Improving of GPU Agent
After testing, made a decision to continue with the older version of Polkadot, since no performance improvement and added complexity.
Week 7 (Feb 15 - Feb 21):
Providers move to DApp from Dashboard.
DApp public view marketplace development and deployment.
DApp API migration from Hasura GraphQL to custom REST APIs.
Benchmarking LLMs for GPU Profiling

Development started for Nova Mainnet on GAN Chain.
Week 9 (Mar 01 - Mar 07):
UI Design for Token (Quests Page) started
Development of Smart contract, Front-end and Back-end of Subnets
Planning for Node and GP buy back
Quantization of Models and Improving Inferencing Speeds
Quantized KV Cache, more offloading to CPU Memory.
Week 10 (Mar 08 - Mar 14):
Beta Launch for Subnets with 50 Invite Only users
Development of Node Buy Back and GP Buy Back
Features Planning for AI Agents for Subnet
Testing GAN Chain dev env with Lesser Security and Greater Speed [Block time 1 sec]
Week 11 (Mar 15 - Mar 22):

Quests UI Development started.
Week 12 (Mar 23 - Mar 31):
Integration of AI Agent in Subnets, and Deployment to Production
Major improvements in the voting logic in Subnets following the user feedback.
Development of AI Agent to create a subnet, it is supposed to chat with a user and create a subnet for him/her.
Compilation of Results from Testing Faster BlockRates in GAN Chain dev. We decided not to compromise the security of the chain for speed.
Development of hardcoded formulae for tokenomics and block rewards emission in GAN Chain for Nova Mainnet.
