Dispatch Dev Update 5–Product Lineup
Testnet 2.0 Launch, The Dispatch Mobile App, and Network Scanner!
We’ve been hard at work on Dispatch development and we have SO MUCH to show for it. Not only do we have major upgrades to our Testnet, but we’ve been pushing forward on the official Dispatch Mobile Wallet, and the official Scandis network scanner!
Testnet 2.0 is Live!
On June 19th, our official Testnet Beta went live! We’re now technically 2.0.3 (thanks QA), but our new and improved Testnet includes features and functionality like:
- Smart-Contracts! (Solidity/EVM byte-code compatible)
- More robust security for the DAPoS Consensus Algorithm
- BigInt support (for all those little Divvitos)
- grpc network pooling upgrades
- Tons of bug fixes
That’s right we’ve got Smart-Contract support! We’ll have a more extensive tutorial post on deploying and interacting with Smart-Contracts on the new Testnet soon, but those of you with a sense of adventure can dig in to our new updates in the disgo repo.
Disclaimer: This is still a testnet and we cannot assure data integrity until Mainnet launch. Contracts and balances will be wiped periodically.
The Dispatch Mobile Wallet
Pending approval by the Apple app store is the official mobile app of the Dispatch platform! Soon to be available on both iOS and Android, the app will be a one stop shop for consumers who want to check balances, trade tokens, and keep up with Dispatch news.
In order to provide mobile support for the Dapps currently building on Dispatch, we plan on building out the Dispatch App as a mobile browser Dispatch Dapp interface too!
The ScanDis Network Scanner
Last but certainly not least is the long-awaited Testnet network scanner, the prototype of which is currently available at: scandis.dispatchlabs.io Currently the network scanner supports all of the functionality of the old wallet.dispatchlabs.io (sending testnet tokens, checking tx status, compare delegate ledgers) plus new features still to come:
- Smart-Contract deployment interface (done!)
- Smart-Contract interaction interface
- Network Statistics (# of tx, nodes, & smart-contracts over time)
- Dapp Store
To finalize our transition from Testnet Alpha to Beta we’re redirecting wallet.dispatchlabs.io => scandis.dispatchlabs.io on Monday July 23rd.
tl;dr
- Testnet Beta is up ft. Smart-Contract Support! 🎉
- We’ve got an official Mobile App pending app store approval 📱
- ScanDis Network Scanner will let you see right into the Testnet 👀
