The latest Elastos biweekly update demonstrates significant progress across the ecosystem. On the mainchain, the team completed a recovery algorithm for BPoS consensus in preparation for the upcoming upgrade to enhance security and efficiency. The team also deployed an automated distribution tool for ELA rewards associated with the BPoS Validator Incentive Program. Tests were conducted to implement multi-signature registration for CR Council members. Over on the sidechains, the EID sidechain EVM was upgraded. The team also worked on ensuring smooth and secure communication between an ESC smart contract and DID data by simulating the interaction process.
Essentials focused on BitTorrent Chain integration, UI/UX refinements, and building out BPoS NFT-related functionalities. Regarding DID, the team has been working on a range of improvements and fixes to the DID verification process on kyc-me.io. They also started developing a Custodial DID Service for accessibility. For Carrier, updates centered on tweaking structures, enhancing services like Active Proxy, and adding more capabilities.
Overall, enhancements across mainchain, sidechains, Essentials wallets, DID, and Carrier demonstrate Elastos’ customer-focused approach to delivering robust and user-friendly tools for Web3.
