Development began on the 9th of June with the laying of groundwork for the unique process mode, where libToxCore communicaton was in a process other than that which hosted the GUI, and where SunRPC served as the method of the intercommunication between the two processes. +A year later, in 2015, Sagem began work to realise the design which the whitepaper had put forward.
