This week’s update takes a look at some of the newest features we’ve implemented in the Elix mobile lending app. Most notably, we’ve integrated the app’s front-end with the lending contract on an Ethereum testnet chain. The app is able to quickly retrieve and send information to the blockchain, and is demonstrated in the video we’ve taken to show these updates. Most of the data is no longer dummy data, and is data that is being retrieved live, directly from the test blockchain.

We started by linking the public feed to the most recent loan requests. For each loan request, the public feed shows borrower and lender addresses, as well as loan lengths and amounts. We also created a request page that allows borrowers to specify the lender and amount. The lender address can also be chosen by using the QR scanning functionality, or can be chosen from a contact’s list in a future update. Once the request is pushed, it’s added to the testnet blockchain and is shown in the public feed upon refreshing. We demonstrate this in the video below:

We’ll continue to build out our MVP and link more functions to the app frontend this week. We look forward to sharing our progress with you. In the meantime, be sure to checkout our website as well as connect to our social media on Reddit, Twitter, Discord, and Telegram. If you have any questions, let us know and we’d be glad to help clear things up!
