As the week ends, let's take a moment to look back at what we've achieved in the past few days and see what we've got to look forward to in the week to come.

BasicSwap 📈

We've been continuing our research into adding additional data and messaging networks on BasicSwap to act as fallback options and to help load balance in case of high usage of the platform.

Additionally, to that, we've pushed a series of fixes and improvements to the codebase:

  • Use cryptocompare multi-coin endpoint for more efficient price API (1)
  • Better coin rate caching system (relegated to the backend) (1)
  • Deduplicate getCoinIdFromTicker (1)
  • Add log prefix to the BaseTestWithPrepare test (1)
  • Run Selenium test in CI (1)
  • Revert Monero's universal refresh to fix regression (1)
  • Set default fallback for wsport (1)
  • Price char and global tooltips optimizations (1)
  • wsport fix (1)
  • (In progress) Updated wallets with new backend coin price caching (1)
  • Better modals and address copy behavior on wallet page (1)

New Development Cycle 📝

As mentioned last week, we're now starting a new development cycle for BasicSwap DEX, with the following main items planned:
Integration of additional data/messaging layers to provide more redundancy and stability to BasicSwap;

  • Integration of light nodes (e.g., Electrum) as a user option. This would enable users to use SPV wallets instead of full nodes to trade on BasicSwap, significantly reducing the storage requirements and improving the time it takes to get BasicSwap ready;
  • Integration of market making and offer automations to enable more advanced management of trades and price management;
  • Completion of the Quick Swaps page that aggregates offers and makes it more intuitive for takers.

As always, we thank you immensely for your passion and dedication to Particl and what it's working towards achieving. None of it would be possible without you all!

We wish you a great weekend we'll see you all back on Monday! 👋
