Release Thread for the week of 1/24/25

Week of 1/24/25 - 9 Releases - 35 Commits - 1 ephemeral environment test

Operational Notes:

This week was primarily focused around work related to the connect wallet flow as we optimize and improve all of the non-ShapeShift wallet connection flows.

Some follow up work around Keystore imports was required to make the flow happy again.

This week was the first full week of the new smaller releases more often cadence resulting in many more releases than our average amount. The hope is that this relieves pressure on the release process and owner of the release. Operations is working with 0xean and the Engineers to upskill and slowly take on more and more of the release process without disturbing the flow.

Operations Renewal for the next term is live in Snapshot , please drop a comment and give us a vote! Operations will be teaming up with the C-Mods to do some upskilling and cross training in support and testing if the renewal passes.

Product – General & Strategy

New wallet flow is looking nice and clean. Though this isn’t a “grand re-envisioning of what wallets really mean” on Shapeshift, it’s much friendlier and much clearer. This feature also highlights some gaps on mobile which we will ticket and coordinate around. Additionally, it spills over into the connect wallet screen on the swapper and how to make that much more informative.
me: “Demos are gone! rates are free to use!
users: “cool, so what does the app actually do? it buys fox”
me: “F”

PTT is going to be stepping up more to own the onramping and onboarding flow over the course of Q1. We’ve seen a large amount of users going to fiat ramps and it’s clear that’s because the first step after wallet creation is funding it. We should tweak this, and optimize revenues if it is indeed genuine flows. Plus having more providers is always good, thank you for your service wrangling all that research ser.

Oh yeah we put hats on stuff, now flipping the flag is on marketing’s plate.

Process & Research

Shout out @Apotheosis for filling a product gap before we even had a chance at ticketing. Custom SOL imports FTW!! Will probably spec out a preconfirgued routes experience as a result, and we have the ticket there.

Wee Lil urgency on the Thorfi situation, we should have some PR’s up shortly addressing the lending and synths pause.

Spec updates:

  • Spec Ratio is at: 6/27 (4.5)
    • Yikes this needs a heavy focus next week to clarify these and centralize around the vision
    • OG is in dev. kickoff good. OG shapeshift is dead long live OG.

Backlog

In progress

Other feature process:

Onwards and upwards!
