TRX1’s Weekly Dev Update (04.04.2022–10.04.2022)
THORChain Monitoring bot
• The new algorithm for calculating Rune’s circulating supply now accounts for coins in Asgard vaults. Besides, it includes a breakdown of locked coins by category
• NodeOp tools:
— Auto-pause Telegram notifications if the bot is stopped by the user
— Ability to send a message to all active users
— Watchdog timer: if there are no signals from the monitoring system for a certain period of time, users will be advised to switch to alternative tools. And vice versa, they will be aware if the connection is restored.
— Measures to eliminate dependence on third-party services
— Own chain height tracker
— TCP polling of RPC and Bifrost ports of THORNodes to monitor online status
• Slack API: authentication error handling
• WIP: price divergence alert
Next:
• Thorough testing of new components for tracking nodes status
• Investigating and solving the price chart freeze issue
• Metrics menu: circulating supply
