Weekly Dev Update #68

THORChain Weekly Dev Update for Week 68, 03 — 09 Nov; Affiliate Fees, Assym Withdrawals, Chaosnet V0.16.2, Midgard V0.5.2, Midgard earnings endpoint, updates to RUNEStake.info and RUNEBalance.com

Summary

The team worked on Chaosnet stability, testnet fixes, and multi-chain tweaks. Midgard was also updated.

Affiliate Fees

A big feature implemented for the week was affiliate fees, allowing frontends to charge a transparent fee for processing any swaps from their interfaces. The memo is as follows:

SWAP:ASSET:ADDRESS:LIMIT:AFFILIATE-ADDRESS:FEE-RATE

The affiliate address will be a native THOR.RUNE address and will immediately receive native RUNE, to the amount that is the fee-rate specified in Basis Points (0–10000). Thus if wallets wish to charge 10 basis points (0.1%) then they simply add 10 as their fee rate. This is simple and easy to convey to the user “0.1% fees”, as well as being easy to inspect.

Assymmetrical Withdrawals

This feature was finally implemented and allows a user to withdraw entirely to one side. This will be necessary for more advanced features later on and allowing single-side liquidity provision from chains without needing a RUNE wallet, ie, adding just Bitcoin, then later removing just Bitcoin.
