New features & optimizations are continuously making their way into the @ElrondNetwork protocol, with no compromise to security and robustness.
Thus Web3 innovation can happen uninterrupted and at scale.
Weekly #elrondtech 🛠️

1/ The Elrond protocol is being prepared for the next mainnet upgrade, which will include the latest libp2p libraries, for enhanced network connectivity at validator level, among other new features and improvements.

2/ The Utrust UTK token has been added to the Elrond <> Ethereum bridge, which prompted updates to the oracle price aggregator component, to enhance precision and flexibility.

3/ The NFT related APIs have been upgraded to trigger an automatic metadata update for every smart-contract driven attributes update. There is now a dedicated endpoint for collections at account level.

4/ Other notable achievements:- Testing on the ESDT transfer role
- Devnet release D1.3.23.0 & testnet release T1.3.25.0 preparations
- Made updates on governance module from elrond-wasm-modules
- Worked on Growth API

5/ - Integrated the newly created enable epochs config handler into a lot of subcomponents
- Added option on oracles' price fetchers to only request prices for listed pairs
- Bridge Microservice bug fixing
- Launchpad SC refactor & new feature testing

6/ - New Swap endpoint with Auto Router (deployed on devnet)
- Bughunt and bugfix for pruning edgecase, on the new version of state snapshots and trie sync, and on peer miniblocks save at epoch start
- Implemented account NFT collections endpoint in API

7/ - Added support for smart contract interactions in the public microservice template
- Continued research on new MEX economics & governance, stablecoins, and layer 2 scaling solutions
- Developed administration scripts for new Launchpad features

8/ - Testing metaesdt transfers on ledger live
- Deployed first iteration of the new Maiar DEX metrics service
- Finished some unStaking nodes integration tests scenarios in staking v4
- Started refactoring the soft auction data preparation
- System tests

9/ - Implemented refresh NFT metadata in API for when attributes update through SC
- Fixes and merges for altered accounts integration tests
- Started Audit with Runtime Verification on Lending SC
- Created erdjs-snippets SC interactors

10/ - Optimizations on system test scripts to work with the new repository
- Finalized adding extra gas cost for processing of guarded transactions
- Improvements on account manager elastic setup redundancy
- Multisharded farm tests

11/ - Working on adding extra checks for guarded transactions so that funds can't be drained from a compromised wallet
- Improved the elasticsearch reindexer tool in order to bring optimizations to the reindexing process
- Finished bridge v1.0 statistics

12/ - Released elrond-wasm 0.32.0, which provides the following new features: integration of the new VM EI, EI 1.2 endpoints; deterministic big floats; call value mechanism redesign; UniqueIdMapper & SparseArray, events in ABI; a new staking module

13/ - Fixes and improvements to the proxy mechanism that does not perform requests to nodes if they are not synced or ready for new requests
- Implemented a tool to read our Safe Contract storage for properties without view functions
- More tests on VM
- Fixes on Data API

14/ - Working on our implementation of the Rosetta API
- Infrastructure monitoring, dashboards and alerting improvements
- Added NFT token definition in erdjs
- Further tests & fixes on the alpha version of the Stablecoin SC

15/ - Added a new endpoint that returns NFT collections stats
- Started working on signature verification improvements
- Finalized integration of promises in the smart contract framework
- Lending SC bugfixing & testing

16/ - Minor fix on compute transaction type operation
- Working on making elastic indexer to work with partial executed miniblocks
- Improvements on internal testnets logs
- Feed-api load tests

17/ - Finished implementation of ESDT/NFT metadata storage, which brings a set of optimizations. Added a liquidity counter of each SFT & metaESDT for every system account on each shard and automatic cleanup of data if liquidity does not exist

18/ - Added an incentive program on Ad-Astra Portal
- Started implementing an endpoint for getting several bridge statistics
- Synchronized peer miniblocks are now saved on the local storage
- Fixes on genesis minting transactions indexing order

19/ “Stay Hungry Stay Foolish” & tune in soon for more of the #elrondtech which powers the @ElrondNetwork ecosystem. Check our progress & get involved
