Elastos Bi-Weekly Update – June 11, 2023

In the recent biweekly update, Elastos achieved significant progress in various areas. On the Mainchain, the Core team completed testing and adjusted the BPoS NFT data structure while conducting ongoing testing for multi-signature wallets for the BPoS-related features. Additionally, the team has been monitoring a seamless transition to the 4th CR Council. The team also released an upgraded ESC EVM, conducted functional and stress testing to explore new features for potential side chains, and upgraded the sidechain browser. In the DID domain, preparations were made for integrating AliCloud eKYC services. 

Essentials wallet addressed the issue of slow updates on token prices, improving the user experience by providing real-time price updates. The flagship Elastos wallet also made significant progress by integrating the KYC-me dApp and preparing for the AliCloud eKYC service collaboration. Carrier went through several improvements. The modules within Carrier were merged, which means they were combined into a single, unified package for better efficiency. The network crawler, a tool used to explore and analyze the Carrier network, was enhanced to perform better and provide more accurate information. Additionally, Carrier was adapted to be compatible with the Windows operating system.

The Hive update includes the completion of the Hive.Node.Docker repository, with deployment guidance documentation added. The .env configuration file for creating a Hive Node has been improved, and issues with the file in the HiveHub website’s deployment have been resolved. These updates enhance the deployment process, provide clear instructions, and ensure a smoother experience for creating a Hive Node.
