Protocol 2.0

The Protocol team has been working with the Relay team on integration testing in the past two weeks. We have completed testing for order parameters processing, encoding, and decoding, signing transactions, order matching, and event logs.

Having previously implemented support for the ST20 token standard, Polymath’s implementation of the ERC1400 security token standard, we have now successfully completed test trades. Whitelisted addresses were able to settle trades over the Loopring protocol, while non-whitelisted addresses failed. Coindesk writeup here.

Relay

Lightcone (Relay 2.0)

We have completed most of the functionalities for Relay 2.0, so we have started reviewing those functionalities and workflows to ensure the quality and the stability of the system.

Completed optimizations for wallet account management and updating order status.

Implemented processing of Ethereum fork.

Implemented web socket API, including monitoring pending trade.

Completed logging, deployment and system monitoring.

We have also written basic code for integration testing, preparing for more testings in the future.

Finally, we are working on refactoring event logs, wallet account activities and others.

Frontend & Product

iOS & Android

We have released version 1.6.2 and 1.6.3 of both iOS and Android apps. In Android development, we have fixed several bugs and re-launched app on Baidu App Store. In iOS development, we have updated the app enterprise certificates, allowing users to continue using the enterprise iOS app. In addition, we have updated the trade order form to be closer to the UI of centralized exchanges. It makes it easier for new users to learn how to use our apps. At the same time, we have started researching wallet backup methods on third-party cloud platforms. We have investigated Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox and other cloud platforms. We believe this feature will simplify workflows and we will continue the development.

We are happy to welcome a new designer to the team, Dennis Ge. Through our discussion, it’s clear he is super familiar with the main value proposition of our apps and many others in the space. We have been focusing on the core value of wallets, but also on the visual aesthetics and additional, interactive features. We have started designing an exciting new UI. In the next steps, we will present an initial plan, work with the team to make the new design goal and improve the products gradually. He will definitely make a significant contribution and impact on our products.
