ergo tree human representation: working on FE, will post link to my local version for feedback

KaChing!

buiding Web UI for configuring webhooks to users' service
Looking for design partners who want to create a payment processor on top of ka-ching. It can also track unconfirmed tx so the reaction can be almost instant. Once the user submits the transaction a chained tx can be generated. KaChing will handle the tx tracking, and you focus on your business logic.
The raffle bot is in production with a fixed bug https://github.com/zkastn/ergo-raffle-bot, open-sourced anyone can use.
the author of the raffle bot is about to start working on ErgoDex real-time order view on top of KaChing, with WebSockets and stuff, making ErgoDex alive and transparent for all.

dappstep

release the second part of the course
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=742qiUg5pxY
added support for split change if there are two many boxes to the transaction builder.
added chained txs support
Isomorphic-wallet - same api as dapp connector, but on backend https://github.com/nirvanush/isomorphic-wallet, works great with ergoscript.js too.

CCheese Enthusiast @6directions Maybe this would help you with Ergonames?

6directions•7/27/22, 1:20 PM

Heh, yes. I've actually thought about this, but haven't implemented it

.

I think it would work well for lookup.

I have some unanswered questions/doubts about concurrency and updating the "lookup registry" though.

Sorry for the late reply, been super busy. But if you have some time next week, mind if consult a few things with you about implementation details? cc @Luivatra

Dexy USD contracts: adding a custom rate tracker to LP box

scalahub•7/27/22, 1:20 PM

Reviewed babel fees EIP. No issues found as such

scalahub•7/27/22, 1:22 PM

(custom rate tracker implies that we can add any percent, say 95% and the box will track when the oracle/LP rate last crossed it from above/below)

kushti•7/27/22, 1:26 PM

Node:

4.0.35 released
reviewing PRs for 4.0.36
back on finishing bootstrapping with UTXO set snapshot (will do EIP on that)

Dexy:

reviewed arbitrage mint contract
the paper has an alternative to burning described now

Other matters:

made some forum posts, in particular on : 1) more 5.0 testnet details https://www.ergoforum.org/t/5-0-testnet-launched/3713/2 2) market-driven emission contracts https://www.ergoforum.org/t/market-driven-emission-contracts/3749 3) decentralized grid trading https://www.ergoforum.org/t/decentralized-grid-trading-on-ergo/3750/2

Also, considering how to run LETS and other protocols with no fixed set of participants on L2 , will do forum posts on that later.

My last week:

Completed the Wallet App Desktop preview/prerelease version, it is available to test. Important features missing on desktop are cold wallet support (both cold and hot wallet side) and ErgoPay. More information on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/ergonauts/comments/w8hpmc/ergo_wallet_app_for_desktop_prerelease_available/
Integrated Mosaik wallet plugin framework into the desktop wallet app, some bugfixing on the Mosaik JS browser version, updating the AgeUSD plugin UI example
Made a PR for the integration of the new Node 4.0.35 restApiUrl fields to appkit so we can use it in depending projects. https://github.com/ergoplatform/ergo-appkit/pull/186
Currently only two nodes have set the field, node maintainers willing that wallets connect to their node's rest api please use the new setting

kushti•7/27/22, 1:34 PM

@Luivatra is it rollup like construction, so all the data is onchain still?

LowKeyNerd•7/27/22, 1:36 PM

More so for overall project/community building: 1. I'll have a booth near Ergo's and zenGate's at the cNFT conference in Las Vegas (Oct 7-9), 2. Be on the lookout for what I thought to be a great conversation between Dan, Joe, and me via Ergo Pulse.

Kkushti @greenhat also, what is left for oracle pools 2.0 ?

greenhat•7/27/22, 1:51 PM

With the last Update Pool Box command implemented, we will have all the parts ready. Next is to test how it flies as a whole.

I'll get back to launching and running an oracle pool on testnet as a smoke test after I finish with current urgent sigma-rust issues (token burn, dist sigs, etc.). After that and a few housekeeping tasks, I believe we will be ready for an open public test.
Here is what's left in our milestone - https://github.com/ergoplatform/oracle-core/milestone/1

Kkushti So now just wallet support is needed?

MrStahlfelge•7/27/22, 1:54 PM

for JVM wallets (Wallet app iOS/Android/desktop, satergo) and dapps building up on appkit we need support in appkit or ergo-wallet before we can do any integration

kushti•7/27/22, 1:55 PM

@Cheese Enthusiast @Luivatra i think we can have plasma-or-rollup kind of design, where publisher is publishing state digests and update digests, and only in case of contestation publishing a rollup, against which it could be another contestation. So minimal plasma load in optimistic case, rollup in case of a dispute

Ccapt_nemo Wow, that's interesting 🤔

greenhat•7/27/22, 1:55 PM

Yeah, I should've emphasized it more in progress reports and in separate shout-outs.

kushti•7/27/22, 1:56 PM

@mhs_sam @anon_real @anon2020s @haileypdll @pragmaxim @ApexTheory @kii @Cheese Enthusiast @Luca D'Angelo any updates?

greenhat•7/27/22, 1:59 PM

The last missing piece for SPV API was p2p discovery via the REST in Chrome. @TimL did an awesome job, diving into it and effectively writing a separate code path of the whole discovery process for Chrome.

Kkushti Good, as context vars can be pruned in future

Cheese Enthusiast•7/27/22, 2:42 PM

This is a great idea, so essentially you have an optimistic rollup which can batch together transactions in worst case, while normal plasma security assumptions are assumed in best case. And both can be challenged in case of contestation.

MMGpai Can someone please explain the significance of this?

greenhat•7/27/22, 2:57 PM

One can check if the payment(box) is in the chain without access to a trusted node.

EDIT: I mean with access to untrusted nodes only.

Cheese Enthusiast•7/27/22, 2:57 PM

GetBlok.io Updates:

SubPooling:

Working on ergopad emission contracts
Integrating new ProxyPlasmaMap to help deal with unexpected errors while creating transactions (and before they are broadcasted)
Created custom sync function to sync off-chain data with on-chain digest in case of db corruption

Plasma:

Now on Plasma 0.0.8 (Still need to post this one on github)
Added ProxyPlasmaMap, which essentially allows operations to be performed on temporary tree identical to one in persistent storage. Modifications are queued internally so that once ready, operations done on the temporary tree are written into persistent storage. This method feels a bit safer than using db rollbacks (which I found could sometimes cause db corruption).
Working on write up for new plasma pool contracts that exist on mainnet. These contracts use chained transactions and separate contracts for different operations, making it easy to sync up with the current on-chain digest
Thinking about more modifications and improvements in general. If you've used the Plasma library and found something you don't like, then let me know!
