This week had 2 massive releases in it, one that is still being tested. We were able to get a majority of the Chainflip work done by CumpsD into production behind a flag. There are still some lingering features that need work (taproot) before the feature is ready to be fully e2e tested and turned on for all users, but the tubes and guts are mostly all there now.
The second release of the week still in testing is a major change to how the app handles quotes and rates in Swapper, this allows a wallet-less experience of ShapeShift for the first time since decentralization. This also allows us to finally ditch the splash screen. This release has been very buggy and needed a few updates, it is still undergoing final testing and should be out early next week.
Now that he markets are back, higher traffic environments can reveal issues and bugs that would normally lie dormant and unnoticed to the user or team. Now that gas fees are up, some things like hard coded dust amounts and minimum send amounts can start to break as they are now expected to perform in high fee or high volume scenarios. fulWe had one prod issue this week related to USDC savers withdrawals. This was exposed because of the increase in network usage and gas fees needed t perform transactions.
Be diligent and mindful of the app as the markets continue to do their thing, and as always report an issues or unexpected experiences to #operations_public_chat for an expedited response and follow up.
Thorswap acquisition campaign retro coming up after Thanksgiving. Please excuse the Americans for trying to see their families once a year outside of the trenches.
We continue to ruin Tyler’s week pushing way too much stuff into the app. She hit the strugglebus a couple times but the progress is unreal. We’ve come so far in one year, remember chain outages? Pepperidge farm members.
Process
The sweeper/splitter spec continues discovery, haven’t had time to mock the UX here so hopefully the polish product has been adding will open the door for our mini side apps. I did scribble in my notebook, so there is some UI and some user stories FWIW.
SAFE app spec on hold until December, have the use cases dialed so we an iterate on the signatures and other pieces. Thanks to the DFC for their testing rigor.
Greetings, frens. Here’s a snapshot of what the MKBD accomplished this last couple weeks and what’s coming next:
