“Non-wallet applications want a way to have their users sign a transaction that is generated by it without requiring it to ever see the user’s secret key in any form. Users already have their preferences for a trusted wallet where they are storing their secret keys.” - Lightyear.io PROTOCOL Passing Unsigned Transactions to Wallets Lightyear.io recently published SEP-0007 - a standardized way for non-wallet applications to send an unsigned transaction (via a link, QR code, etc) to a wallet application for signing. This should improve usability and security. A use case: Instead of signing in with your private key on a DEX UI like StellarTerm, you generate a transaction on StellarTerm, StellarTerm turns it into a QR code, you scan the QR code with a mobile app, then sign and submit the transaction to the network on the mobile app. Link PARTNERS The Register Pilots SatoshiPay SatoshiPay - "nanopayments for web content" built on top of Stellar - has announced a pilot with The Register - the UK’s largest tech news website. Link ANCHORS 6 New Papaya Anchor Tutorials Papaya - an anchor of BCH, ETH, LTC, BAT, OMG, and ZRX on the Stellar network - has published six new tutorials to Lumenauts.com detailing how to deposit and withdraw cryptocurrencies onto and out of the Stellar network. Link DEX Verifying Assets on the Stellar DEX Stellarport recently encountered scammers issuing copycats of real assets on the network and trading those scam tokens for real tokens. To combat this, they developed Rover - a crawler that verifies tokens by visiting the stellar.toml file on a token’s designated home domain and confirming that the asset is listed in the home domain’s stellar.toml file. They then “remove unverified assets from the exchange screen by default.” Link TOKENS Ben & Jerry’s Carbon Credit Pilot on Stellar A Ben & Jerry’s store in London’s Soho neighborhood is offsetting the carbon footprint of each scoop through a pilot with the Poseidon Foundation, a carbon credit provider built on top of Stellar.
