Hello curious PIVian or Labsian!

I'm JSKitty 🐱 - Full-time Project Lead of the PIVX Labs team, and collaborator at PIVX Core.
Who is this? Click to get up-to-date on my last proposal.​



This is my thirteenth proposal, in the form of an LRP (Labs Recurring Proposal) to renew my perpetual position in continuing to push PIVX to the next level.

I am the Project Lead and Lead Developer of PIVX Labs - I write code for every Labs Project, manage the tasks and load-balancing of the PIVX Labs team, I handle the networking of Labs (working with our various partners), assist in marketing efforts with both the PIVX Core marketing team and the growing Labs independent marketing team, as well as cultivating the Community Development sector of PIVX to assist small aspiring leaders or developers to build their PIVX projects to their full potential.



What have I done in these last cycles?
These last three cycles were split between the overall Maintenance and Stability of PIVX Labs projects - slowly ironing out bugs and edgecases across our services, while building better infrastructure systems and monitors, such as the Labs Pulse monitor suite - secondarily, the Vector Messenger has been gradually edging towards the first MVP of Group Chats, with the end of the tunnel now finally in sight for fully decentralised, MLS-powered chatrooms in Vector.

A quick, TL;DR recap of everything:
- Vector - Private Messenger moves towards v0.1.9, after two successful releases post-launch, v0.1.9 aims to iron out several issues brought forward by our many testers - this release is unlikely to bring Group Chats, as they'll need significantly more testing and QC'ing to ensure a fully safe, secure and stable protocol deployment - v0.1.9 is focused exclusively on stability, particularly cross-platform stability enhancements; like Android fixes. Group Chats are being primed for Vector v0.2.0, the consecutive release.

- Labs Pulse - our new open-sourced infrastructure monitor suite, with a public interface allowing both the community and team to see the health of the ecosystem at a glance, and assist the team with more proactive detection measures.

- Labs Home is Live - After months of tweaking, sub-service integrations - like Labs Stats, the Project Zomboid integration, and Labs Oracle - the Labs Home is now the central place for PIVians to play around with the Labs ecosystem of PIVX-powered websites, apps, and services.

- My PIVX Wallet primes for v3 - With the bulk of the work having been done by Duddino, I've been slowly reviewing each PR headed towards v3, with Multi-Account and Multi-Masternode support both being the highlights of the release - yet, there's DOZENS of additional fixes, feature additions, stability enhancements, and debugging tools, all to be combined in v3, our third and most powerful iteration of MPW.

Let's dive in to my responsibilities and contributions below.


  • Vector Development
I've added over ~40 commits to Vector in the last three months, excluding sub-projects like the Vector SDK, Vector LLM Bot (Viktor), and Vecord.

These commits are a mix of both Stability and Features - work on Group Chats has not been counted, due to the ongoing work requiring extreme architectural changes, committing individual changes would be inefficient and slow down progress.

New features include:
- a 5TB media server, free for all users, with unlimited uploads up to 1GB max; pushing Vector's file handling to the extreme.
- Auto-Updater; Vector can now upgrade itself, currently, when a new update is available, Vector will softly notify you and present an optional one-click update process.
- Ability to Mute contacts.
- Ability to Nickname contacts.
- Ability to export both your nsec and Seed Phrase securely from Vector.
- Added support for dozens of new file transfer formats: zips, text files, code files, project files, executables, and more.

Fixes are in the dozens, however, they can be compressed to: media enhancements on Android (stable video + audio transfers and playback), massive networking stability enhancements, and smoother notification reliability on Desktop and Android.

As of current, the vast majority of my work time is going in to fully implementing Group Chats in to Vector - given the massive technical implications, it requires deep and thorough R&D; over the last week, I've finished and confirmed the first localised Group Messaging test environment, the next stage is getting it working on-network, creating the UI, and progressing onwards with refinement, testing, and finally a full v0.2.0 release.


  • Vector SDK Development
Alongside Luke's primary base work, I've added over a dozen commits to various Vector-SDK-based projects, with the goal of making it ridiculously simple for developers to build their own bots, apps, and services on the Vector Platform.

To help with this, I've developed two bots using the Vector SDK as 'demo' or 'template' projects for other devs to experiment with, those projects are:

- Vector LLM: a Vector Chatbot powered by *any* LLM, developers can fork this to deploy their own Chat Agents over Vector, or modify the codebase as they see fit. Vector has an official deployment of this, called "Viktor", available to the community for free.

- Vecord: a Vector Bridge Bot that allows you to easily connect a Discord Channel to one's Vector DMs by creating a two-way bridge, Vecord is mostly production-ready, with only a few minor tweaks for full cross-platform functionality.



  • Labs Pulse Development
Alongside Rushali for the UI, I've developed Labs Pulse, our in-house ecosystem health monitor, tracking the stability and responsiveness of both PIVX Labs and PIVX Core services; such as websites, explorers, RPC nodes, and more.

What will I continue to do?

Continue as Project Manager and Lead Developer to push PIVX Labs to complete the Labs Vision, with the 2025 Edition viewable here.


... want to add your own ideas for us to build?
Join and let's get it done!​


I, and the entire Labs team + community, thank everyone who have supported our work thus far, and allowed us to prove that we can get shit done without too much messing around - we have some fun, it's what keeps us sane and grounded, down-to-earth, but we keep our direction the same: build, and do it right.

Thanks for reviewing my proposal, now's your choice:
