Weekly Dev Update #73

THORChain Weekly Dev Update for Week 73, 08–14 Dec; Multichain fixes, Wallet Integration, MidgardV2, Bridge updates.

Summary

The team extensively tested multichain across its full life-cycle and some fixes were required. Wallet integration is still ongoing. Midgard V2 is the primary API going forward and the team are working to ensure parity with V1 and required features from the developer community. Work began on the final Ethereum testing, as well as BitcoinCash. The community released some updates to their tools.

THORNode

Bug-fixes and improvements from another week of testing multichain, taking it from genesis, all the way up to multiple Asgard vaults, then back down to a Ragnarök.

Next Milestones

Multi-chain Testnet 2 with Native Rune underwent extensive testing, some edge cases were found and fixed. The team will be deciding whether to upgrade the current net or re-deploy. There is also a hold-up on the wallet side to allow seamless switching to Native Rune. The team are spiking this.
