WEEKLY DEVELOPMENT REPORT

Daedalus

Wallet

After a well-deserved break, the Daedalus team was back this week implementing a redesigned wallet restoration feature that now supports hardware wallet restoration.

Wallet backend

Most of the team was on leave this week, but the priority has been on finalizing the API and testing the new hardware wallet restoration process. The team also worked closely with Daedalus engineers to ensure that integration testing was as thorough as possible.

The team also took advantage of the quiet period at the start of the year to make some extensive changes to the wallet implementation. Work has been underway to restructure logging processes to provide more control and granularity, which will result in improved debugging if and when problems occur.

Over the past few weeks, the Plutus team implemented a much-improved error formatting solution, in particular for evaluation errors. They also started to investigate a compilation error that occurred in the Plutus Playground when trying to implement a state machine. Work is ongoing on this issue.

Elsewhere, some simplifications were made to the game demo, and the team has also started to investigate whether it is efficient to merge the payments function and the check function in the state machine library.
