Aexpansions Efforts

æpp Manifests

We are working on an aexpansion which will propose a meta data format for æpps listed inside wallets, æpps browsers, decentralized æpps stores, and anywhere else where æpps might be listed. The aexpansion will include proposed fields to be part and take on a manifest format.

Next steps are to prepare the draft for input and gather feedback from all concerned parties

Identicons

The Base æpp as well as AirGap use identicons to uniquely identify accounts. We are researching the best identicon format to recommend to wallets displaying æternity accounts and also considering other alternatives for uniquely displaying accounts.
