1/ The Ad Astra Portal bridge microservice has been updated to include support for multiple chains.
The bridge will soon be ready to service token transfers between Elrond and multiple other chains in synergy with the existing components.
2/ The Maiar Launchpad SC has been updated to accommodate the Cantina Royale mystery box sale.
It uses MetaESDT tokens to keep records of user interactions with the SC, which can be used in future events, such as the Cantina Royale special NFT sale for launchpad participants.
3/ elrond-wasm v0.33 has been released: removed data field for direct transfers, test & debug environment aligned with Elrond VM v1.4.54, and upgraded several smart contracts to match elrond-wasm 0.33.0 github.com/ElrondNetwork/…

- Implemented limitations on changing the account pending guardian while the account is frozen and cleanup of pending guardians upon account freezing
11/ - Several small improvements in system test scripts
- System testing
- Improvements on Maiar Exchange service
- Working on a new tool: balances exporter from a given epoch
12/ - VM endpoints testing & audit
- Started redesign of Lending SC
- Continued work on our Rosetta API implementation

- Elrond API testing
- Added extra integrity checks for KYCs
- Code reviews: Launchpad, Staking V4, Lending and features
Metabonding is the powerful combination of @ElrondNetwork passionate community & internet-scale blockchain startups. Perhaps the birthplace of the next Web3 amazons & googles.
Imagine receiving a fraction of these internet giants as they were being born.
1/ The first distribution of ecosystem tokens towards long term supporters of the @ElrondNetwork has happened with the go-live of Metabonding. 4 weeks worth of $EGLD & LKMEX snapshots data were used and $1.5M+ USD worth of tokens were successfully claimed by the community.
2/ The new tokens listing process for the Maiar DEX has been tested end-to-end. The various adaptations to the price discovery mechanism, as well as the locking mechanisms for the tokens in the first epochs after the price discovery ends have been validated with the community.
The upcoming @ElrondNetwork protocol upgrade brings “Scheduled Smart Contract execution”. It increases the time allocated for executing TXs beyond the currently dedicated 1.5s sub-round, resulting into higher throughput, with major upside for DeFi operations.
Weekly #elrondtech🛠️
1/ By enabling Scheduled SC execution & increasing execution time during a round, we will improve the TPS of the network as a whole. SCs currently have the lowest ratio in (transaction byte-size)/(execution time), so focusing on them is optimal and will not affect consensus.
2/ Heavy testing underway for the preparation of the next mainnet upgrade, which besides the highly anticipated Scheduled SC execution feature, brings a significant amount of other optimizations and improvements that will result in higher overall performance & stability.
1/ We conducted a Maiar Exchange public stress test to validate our imminent launch strategy using the latest version of the DEX smart contracts, which have been amended to include the latest audit findings and updated according to the best practices related to the WASM VM.
2/ The Maiar Launchpad smart contracts have been upgraded to receive the latest optimizations, and have then undergone heavy testing, to ensure stability and performance matching the extraordinary community interest for the @holoride event.
Unique innovations such as Smart Accounts, with their ability to store large numbers of data points, make the @ElrondNetwork an unstoppable internet micro-services engine.
1/ The Rust SC framework has been enhanced with a new serializer that handles managed types better. Storage keys and error messages are also rerouted via the managed buffers. This eliminates the need for an allocator, leading to smart contracts with a reduced footprint.
2/ Maiar Exchange now uses Redux to manage state and state transformations, in order to better keep up with the large amounts of data and their management on the long term, according to the expected platform growth.
