On November 30th 2018 IoTeX accomplished a great milestone with the release of the "Open Testnet Phase I": now users could run their own node and give life to the first really decentralized IoTeX Network.

My work also led the team to discover and fix some bugs and, eventually I made a tutorial video where I shared my experience with the community and helped many people getting started wit running the full node.

I provided an accurate Italian translation of the IoTeX Whitepaper , IoTeX official website , Explorer and Web Wallet .
