ARK Scan Weekly Progress
This week, an update for ARK Scan was rolled out, focusing on general improvements based on user feedback and internal testing. The key enhancements involved enhancing data cohesion, providing easier access to the Exchanges page on the homepage, and relocating the price chart from the Statistics page to the Exchanges page.
For additional details on this update, please refer to our blog post, where we delve into the specific changes.
In the upcoming week, our primary objective is to refine the Statistics page. We plan to incorporate a variety of insightful information related to on-chain and market data.
Mainsail Weekly Progress
This week, notable advancements were made in optimizing the database and introducing a new username schema, which is now integrated into Mainsail along with additional API features. To provide a more detailed overview:
- The LMDB mainsail database underwent refactoring, now storing only block commits by height.
Transactionsandblocks-by-idstorage were removed, resulting in reduced complexity and space consumption. - Implemented a new username schema allowing for a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 20 lowercase characters or digits. A single repetition of an underscore is permitted in the middle of the string.
- Enhanced API functionality to support transactions signed using multi-signature wallets.
-
WalletRepositoryBySender, used in mempool, was fixed to accommodate changes and cloning introduced in previous PRs. - The
api-developmentpackage underwent cleanup and fixes. Basic logic (Server,Plugins,ServiceProvider) is constructed uponapi-commonpackages, similar to other API packages. - Addressed various crypto and API issues.
Looking ahead, our focus for the next week includes standardizing ENV variables and API options across the Mainsail. Additionally, any bugs discovered in our internal testnet will be promptly addressed.
