Weekly Dev Update #7

Overview

The team continue to integrate the Chain Service into the frontend for testnet unveiling.

BEPSwap Development

The team are working on 5 parallel streams of effort to deliver BEPSwap, which remains the primary focus.

1. Cosmos-powered SDK StateChain
2. Cross-chain infrastructure
3. Threshold Signature Scheme implementation
4. Front-end Integration for BEPSwap
5. Other development activities

StateChain

The Statechain had a few updates:

• Stake — add a status to stake event
• Emit Add event when state chain process AddMsg
• Postman Coverage of Statechain
• PoolAddr API Endpoint
• Abbreviated MEMOs
• add api endpoint to query trust accounts
• add api endpoint to query the latest block height that had been observed on binance chain
• Emit admin config event

The PR to highlight is Abbreviated MEMOs. This will be added to BEPSwap documentation, but will follow this format, and allows both user-friendly MEMOs to be used:

• SWAP: >:
• STAKE: +:
• WITHDRAW: -:
• CREATE: &:
• ADMIN: !:
• GAS: $:
• ADD: %:

Cross-chain Infra

• Update Observer to use the new statechain types

• add support to load config file from different folder, signer and observer
• Observer Start-up Behaviour
