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 📈
Codebase Improvement 🧪
basicswapThis week, aside from the usual bug fixes and general investigations, we've spent some time refactoring a large component of BasicSwap's codebase by removing its dependency on sqlalchemy, and replacing it by a hybrid system composed of custom code and SQLlite (tentatively named manbearpigSQL).
This change aims at simplifying BasicSwap's database management processes and improving security.
Additionally, we've pushed a series of other codebase improvements:
- chainparams: Increase the minimum and maximum order sizes (1)
- Fix a double bidding issue (1)
- Fix connection reset problem (1)
- (WIP) Currently fixing an issue with missing wallets page entries (1)
User Interface 🖥️
We've continued fixing bugs and making general improvements to the user interface while working on some of the larger UI-related deliverables slated for the next release.
Here's a list of some of the changes that have been pushed to the dev branch this week or that are still in pull requests waiting to be merged:
- Refactor Javascript offers page (1)
- Added filter for Expired/Revoked offers (1)
- Other offer/order book related fixes (1)
- Fixed Offers cache (1)
- Better filtering of the offer tables (1)
- Hide function in Wallets now also hides cryptocurrency amounts (1)
- Added cache for USD prices (1, 2, 3)
- Added display of % change on total assets (1)
- Proper redirection to offer page after placing a bid (1)
BasicSwap Windows Installer 🧙♂️
Although not yet re-released, the installer release remains imminent. There are still a few things to wrap up before the release, and we'll finish up those right after the next master release of BasicSwap which should go live in the next couple of days.
However, we want to clarify that this installer is simply a tool to facilitate building BasicSwap DEX from source on Windows. For Windows users, we continue to recommend using the Docker version, which remains our only officially supported Windows implementation. We do not recommend running BasicSwap directly on Windows.
Particl and BasicSwap Media 📺
Talk and Panel at Monerotopia 2024 🧡
The Particl and BasicSwap DEX team attended the 2024 edition of Monerotopia in Mexico City this week, where we presented a talk on BasicSwap DEX and our road towards its V1.0 version and beyond.
Right after the talk, we were invited to participate on an all-star panel with co-panelists Vik Sharma and SethForPrivacy from Cake Wallet, Woodser from Haveno, and representatives from Monejuro and EdgeWallet, on the topic of "building bridges to Monero".
The video of the panel is now live, and the video of the talk should be made available soon by the organizers of the event.
We'd like to thank, once again this year, Doug and Sunita for yet another incredible event, and we look forward for next year's Monerotopia as well as other related events.

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! 👋
