Greeting BlockDAG Community,
Today's Update on the
BlockDAG X1 Mobile Application and Explorer
Sprint Planning
and Review
Today was a very hectic day as we planned out the
complete sprint and reviewed the previous one. With the next release of the mobile
application scheduled in the coming two weeks, the team is fully engaged in ensuring
a smooth rollout.
Password Functionality Implementation:
One
of the key features we are currently working on is the new password functionality.
This feature is critical for enhancing security and providing users with more
control over their accounts. Implementing password functionality involves several
considerations, especially for existing users who previously relied on OTP-based
authentication.
- Edge Cases: We are addressing scenarios such as forgotten passwords, password reset requests, and ensuring that the transition from OTP to password-based authentication is seamless for all users. This includes verifying identity through email or secondary contact methods and securely storing and encrypting passwords to prevent unauthorized access.
- User Experience: We’ve also put in significant effort to
improve the UI/UX for this functionality. The color scheme has been coordinated
to make the options more intuitive, and critical actions like password reset and
change have been highlighted for better visibility.
Deep Linking:
In parallel, another team member is working on deep
linking, a feature that allows users to navigate directly to specific pages or
sections within the app from external links. Deep linking enhances the user
experience by providing a more seamless interaction with the app, especially when
accessed from emails, social media, or other external sources. It helps in driving
user engagement and can significantly improve the flow of app
usage.
Reward Script Execution:
We also ran the reward
script today to remove rewards from users who were using fake numbers or VoIP
numbers. This step ensures that the reward system remains fair and that only genuine
users benefit from the incentives.
Apple Submission
Update:
Additionally, we resubmitted the application to Apple after
addressing their query related to the privacy policy. We’re currently awaiting their
feedback, as the application remains under review.
BlockDAG Explorer Update
The BlockDAG explorer team has made substantial progress on UTXO transactions. The dashboard for the UTXO explorer is almost complete and is currently undergoing testing with the QA team. Here's a sneak peek into the UTXO dashboard:
The data will be changed inside recent blocks and transactions. Similarly will be the
case of blocks and transactions page.
Next up, the team will begin
working on the UTXO blocks page, which will be a crucial component of the explorer.
- UTXO Blocks Page: This page will provide users with a comprehensive overview of all blocks within the UTXO system. Each block will display detailed information such as:
- Block Height: The block’s position in the blockchain, providing users with an understanding of where the block fits within the overall chain.
- Timestamp: When the block was mined or added to the chain, allowing users to track the chronology of transactions.
- Transaction Count: The number of transactions contained within the block, giving users insight into the activity level at that point in time.
- Hash: The unique identifier for the block, ensuring its authenticity and security within the blockchain.
- Previous Block Hash: Linking each block to its predecessor, maintaining the integrity of the blockchain structure.
Users will be able to drill down into each block to view individual transactions, see
the transfer of assets, and explore detailed transaction histories. This page will
offer a user-friendly and detailed view of the blockchain's state, making it easier
for users to navigate and understand the complexities of the UTXO system.
Stay
tuned for more updates!
