Weekly Development Report
DAEDALUS
Daedalus team had the first sprint fully dedicated to Ethereum classic integration. The main goal of the sprint was designing an architecture that will support multiple blockchain assets by building universal and configurable wallet API capable of supporting both UTXO and account based accounting and configurable and composable user interface components. Significant progress was made and architecture will be refined and finalized in the scope of upcoming sprints in which concreted Ethereum classic features will be built in Daedalus. The team have also built auto-complete input component in React Polymorph library which will be integrated into Daedalus for entering mnemonic backup/recovery phrases.
MIDDLEWARE
Most of the effort was focused around improvements for Bittrex integration (mostly wallet performance optimizations). Issue when wallet is showing zero balance in specific use-case was tackled and successfully fixed. (this fix is not yet released and will be included in the next update). Currently the team is working on further wallet performance improvements.
EXPLORER
Last week the Explorer team concentrated on extending genesis page. The update was successfully finished but not released as of yet. Total ada endpoint has been added (needed for CoinMarketCap). Search by epoch/slot has been optimized but not yet released as well. Profiling found why Explorer was crashing - workaround is ready but once again, has not been released as of yet.
BENCHMARKING
Last week the team concentrated on the following tasks:
- Planning session in Edinburgh
- Fixed (most of) the space leaks
- Helped the explorer team to identify the cause for the memory explosions
- Ran another stress-test with the current
cardano-sl-1.0
branch, to make sure there were no regressions in - the last weeks that would require an adjustment to the networking policies - Helped resolving the last minute issues that came up with Bittrex
DEVOPS
Last week the team's main goal was stabilizing mainnet and it's monitoring. It's all quiet now and the team reports that everything is well in hand.
Tech Support
With the release of mainnet, the amount of tickets has naturally increased. However, the volume is not higher than was expected. Currently, we have had 483 tickets that have come through. The following is a breakdown of the reported issues:
- Helpdesk tour
- Wallet creation issue
- Cannot connect
- Cannot redeem
- Feature-question
- Feature-bug
MAJOR GOAL ASSESSMENTS
