EOS Nation - Technology Update
The primary focus of EOS Nation has always been around community engagement & education. During this journey we’ve been involved in many EOS related projects with our technology partners and we would like to list a few in this article.
Scholar Testnet
This is a very active EOS Testnet that has been around for almost a month now, we've got close to 200 members in the Telegram chat and all the code & scripts are open source hosted on GitHub.
On this Testnet we practice the BIOS Boot process using Shell scripts and we issued EOS tokens to developer accounts & block producers that allows them to publish their own EOS smart contracts.

Scholar Testnet has been a collaboration between:
Voting Simulation
Eosio.SG has successfully simulated the voting process, the process and result are as shown. A new web ui for simulating voting system will be ready this week. All are welcomed to join to test the update_elected_producer by then join their Telegram channel.
Testnet Tools
Eosio.SG was the first Testnet to have an automated onboarding process, the initial process was quite difficult to join for new block producer since the onboarding steps were done manually. Recently Eosio.SG has released their Testnet tools on GitHub which includes their web interface & all their onboarding shell scripts.
EOS Nation is looking forward to see more great tools being developed by Eosio.SG.

EOS Index is a Directory of Projects based around EOS, this platform showcases a wide variety of EOS related content which includes DApps, Block Producers, Communities, Testnets & much more.
EOS Nation has been a close supporter & partner of EOS Index which is a Canadian based company founded in Toronto.
Chintai
Powering Delegation for the new EOS Blockchain.

EOS Nation is proud to be an official Block Producer sponsor of this platform, we look forward to see this platform in action in the coming months.
Block Producer Sponsors

EOS BIOS
eos-bios is a command-line tool for people who want to kickstart a blockchain using EOS.IO Software.
https://github.com/eoscanada/eos-bios
EOS Nation supports this type of launch process for the Go-live mainet launch, we hope to see more and more Block Producers adopt and practice this workflow.

SSL has arrived for EOS
SSL has finally landed for EOS and EOS Rio has created an amazing guide on how to setup a secure HTTPS API using the built-in EOS http_plugin.
https://steemit.com/eos/@eosrio/using-ssl-with-eos-io-nodes
EOS Nation has now converted all of their testnet nodes using this type of configurations, we hope to see many more Block Producers leverage this enhanced security feature.
