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 📈

New GUI Version is Ready ✅

This week, we've merged the dev branch into master, bumping the GUI to version 3.2 at the same time.

Additionally, we've worked on a series of improvements and additions to both the codebase and the user interface.

  • Improvements to how prices are fetched and cached in the backend (WIP)
  • New bids page with dynamic updates via websockets (done)
  • Research and exploration of additional data and messaging networks (R&D)
  • Multi-coin filtering on the offer table (WIP)
  • Improvements to the Swaps in Progress page with dynamic updates via websockets (done)
  • Added ability to export bid data (.csv) from the GUI
  • Fixed additional memory leaks
  • Added safe logs option so that debugging logs don't contain sensitive information
  • Advanced market making and offer automations in the GUI (WIP)

We'll publish a blog post detailing all the changes of this new version early next week!

New Development Cycle 📝

With the new version of the GUI (3.2) out, we now embark on a new BasicSwap DEX development cycle. We're currently focusing on four different items:

  • 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.

We'll keep you updated as we progress on those items in our weekly reports!


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! 👋
