Etherparty Update: Development, Design & Drew

Etherparty is a platform working to enable a connected and inclusive world by building easy-to-use, versatile and intuitive smart contract solutions.

We’re back again with another update from the Etherparty team!

First off, we would like to introduce to our community of supporters, Drew Ogryzek, our newest distributed systems and blockchain software developer.

Drew joined the team in late February. He is a North Vancouver native who speaks — on top of English — Japanese and Korean. Drew is a graduate of Oxford, currently completing graduate studies in Advanced Computer Science at Leicester University.

So, welcome aboard Drew, we are proud to have you!

Now, on to what we have been up to on development and product design since our last update:

We have containerized all of our microservices and we are finishing the set up of our staging environment. We are running Minikube locally to speed up development time and to make sure we all have the right environment to work with.

We refactored and optimized our compiler microservice so we are now able to compile any smart contract, after validating all constructor arguments.

We implemented WebSockets on both the front-end and backend so users will be able to receive various notifications in-app (For example, status of a contract deployment, updates to a contract, and more).

We implemented a mailing service so users will now be able to receive various emails from the application.

We finished all desktop wireframes for the full product. Now the front-end team is hard at work applying all the changes that have been made. The wireframes are currently getting styled with the selection picked by you, the community!

Furthermore, to keep users safe, we are working on an authentication system where a user will be able to log-in through Gmail, Facebook or another email / password scheme.

We are also adding OTP [one-time password] two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security for our users. In short, this will allow a user to use an application like Google Authenticator to sign-in.

Etherparty will be in attendance at this year’s TokenFest conference being held in San Francisco at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, Mar. 15–16.
