Compute Asset reached Alpha release and is available for black-box testing. This release also expanded the problem space that Compute Asset can solve substantially. Some highlights include:

  1. Beside reporting your health status, you can now report an endless number of statuses about you and the environment around you, from pot holes on the road to lost handbags to active shooter in the building.

  2. Another new feature is the change from a one way data collection into bidirectional asset exchange. All your reports are now tracked with blockchain secured interval coins, so you have a trusted ledger on how much data contributions you have made.

Only compute owners in aunsw (New South Wales Australia) have access to all features of this release, compute owners outside aunsw are partially supported by the Australian Citizen Ecosystem until their own ecosystems are available.

Due to its development nature the 2025 Interval Coin may not be stable, you can confirm all transactions on your Citizen Timelines.

There will be no gold nor silver au2025 coins in this 25.03 release under aunsw.88.io. They are expected to be available in the 25.09 release under aunsw.au.

25.09 Production

2025-09-16T14:00:00Z

This is our first Production Release with bug fixes and security patches for at least 5 years.

  • All September releases after this will also be Production Releases suitable for general production, with at least 5 years support.
  • All releases in other months are for Compute Owners who like to experience the latest technologies at the expense of stability, these Development Releases only have 1 year of support.

Although there are at least 5 years support for all Production Releases, updating once every year to the next Production release is highly recommended.

Your local Citizen Ecosystem might provide longer 5 years support to Production Releases.
