Monthly Development Report | June 2023
Summary
The team has successfully implemented the Settlement Engine for MultiSwap, which significantly improves the trading experience by accounting for market fluctuations and providing precise and reliable trades. In the current month, the focus is on further enhancing the settlement engine by introducing a custom slippage feature and establishing an architecture for fee distribution.
In terms of integrations, the audit report for Cudos smart contracts has received approval, marking an important milestone. The next step involves testing swaps on the mainnet. Additionally, the audit reports for Casper Staking and Bridge have been completed, and the Casper team is currently reviewing other milestones. Excitingly, the team has initiated two new integrations, Neon and Kava, and has already made significant progress in those areas.
For Mainnet, the Ferrum team has been actively working on enhancing the mining and finalization process for testnet. They have dedicated efforts to stress testing all components involved in the testnet, ensuring its robustness and stability. Alongside this, the team has focused on updating the documentation and tutorial examples, providing comprehensive resources for developers and users to easily navigate and utilize the platform.

a. Quantum Portal Explorer enhancements
Mainnet
Last month, mainnet team kicked off development of final pieces of the puzzle to make Quantum Portal and the testnet production ready. We have added fee management to QP along with a new miner selection algorithm.
This month the effort to make QP and testnet production ready will be continued. Our goal is to complete significant parts.
MultiSwap
The team were able to implement the Settlement Engine which helps in providing a more precise and reliable trading experience while accounting for market fluctuations.
The focus for this month is to enhance the settlement engine with custom slippage feature and create an architecture for fee distribution.
COSMWASM MultiSwap Integration
Our audit review for SmartContracts was approved past month. The team is now focused on adding more networks to MultiSwap and testing those networks with swaps to and from Cudos network. Once the testing part is complete, we will move towards our plan for production deployment.
Crucible Whitelabeling
With this latest enhancement, Crucible can now be white labeled, allowing organizations to apply their preferred theme and colors, giving their Crucible experience a personalized touch. Our team has developed an intuitive customization interface within Crucible’s administrative settings, allowing administrators to easily configure and apply their desired theme and colors.
DAO Governance (Recap from May)
DAO governance enables us to use Ferrum Network staking contracts in conjunction with snapshot.org to implement decentralize governance and establish a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).
