Research & Development

Loopring Protocol

We have released Loopring protocol v3 beta3 and have started working with SECBIT on the security audit.

We have enabled Automatic Protocol Upgradability — meaning that DEX owners can upgrade the Protocol to the latest version without affecting existing users and their data. This feature also makes it easier to fix potential bugs.

v3.0 latest throughput

We have completed ZKP-based internal transfer and tested related features in the circuit. This will reduce the cost of transferring on Ethereum.

We are exploring running ZKP on GPU, which focuses on optimizing functions in ethsnark and biff libraries.

We have improved unit tests of ZKP circuits including tests for all modules in the circuit and all Gadgets.

Lightcone Relayer

We have completed core functionalities such as deposit, trading, and withdrawal in an internal testing environment. At the same time, we have implemented unifying data, database read-write separation throughout the optimization. We have finalized software architecture of REST API and WebSocket API. For the development workflow, we have started implementing continuous integration and continuous deployment.

Products

We have completed all the features for the first version of the DEX product. In the past two weeks, we have integrated MetaMask and refactored UI of account creation, deposit, withdrawal, and approval. We have set up a mock API server to support frontend development and testing.
