Summary

Last month, the team focused on providing support to users regarding MultiSwap usage and implemented several hotfixes to enhance the user experience. These efforts were aimed at ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for all MultiSwap users.

The team conducted research and development on making decentralized applications (dApps) fully decentralized. As part of this initiative, work was initiated to transform Ironvest into a completely decentralized application, marking the first step in this broader goal.

Significant progress was made on the Mainnet, particularly with multisig withdrawals in BTFD, which enhances secure pool address management for BTC wallets. Additionally, the team kickstarted a project to improve developer documentation, aiming to provide clearer and more comprehensive resources for developers working with the Mainnet.

Mainnet

This month, we focused on implementing multisig withdrawals in BTFD, a significant enhancement that provides more secure pool address management for the BTC wallet by requiring multiple signatures for transactions. Additionally, we kickstarted a project aimed at improving our developer documentation, recognizing the need for clear, comprehensive, and accessible resources to support our developer community. Looking ahead, our primary goal for next month is to release this updated documentation along with new SDKs and APIs. These additions will significantly enhance the developer experience, making it easier for developers to integrate, build, and innovate using our platform.

MultiSwap

We are delighted to share the latest updates and achievements at MultiSwap over the past month. Our team has been working diligently to bring you a more versatile, efficient, and user-friendly decentralized trading platform. Here’s a detailed look at our recent progress:

Expansion of Supported Networks: Scroll, Base, and ZySync
We are excited to announce that MultiSwap now supports three new networks: Scroll, Base, and ZySync. This expansion provides users with more options for swapping their assets and accessing new markets. By adding these networks, we continue to enhance the flexibility and reach of the MultiSwap platform.

Fee Manager Implementation: Platform Fee on Each Swap
We have successfully implemented the fee manager, which introduces a platform fee on each swap. This feature ensures that MultiSwap remains sustainable and continues to provide top-notch services to our users. The fees collected will be used to maintain and improve the platform, ensuring a better trading experience for everyone.

Referral Engine: Enjoy Discounts on Platform Fees
To foster community engagement and reward our users, we have launched a referral engine. This feature allows users to create referral links that their communities can use to enjoy discounts on platform fees for each swap. By sharing these links, users can benefit from reduced fees while helping to grow the MultiSwap community.

Same Network Swaps: Streamlining the Trading Process
We are pleased to announce that same network swaps are now enabled on MultiSwap. This feature allows users to swap tokens within the same network directly on our platform, eliminating the need to use multiple other platforms. This enhancement simplifies the trading process and makes MultiSwap a one-stop solution for your swapping needs.

CCTP Integration: Larger Swaps with Less Slippage
With the integration of the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), users can now conduct larger amount swaps with less slippage. This improvement enhances liquidity and provides better quotations for large fund transfers, making MultiSwap more efficient and reliable for significant transactions.

Expansion of Wallet Support: More Options for Users
We have added support for more wallets, giving users a wider range of options for managing their assets on MultiSwap. These new wallets will be enabled in the next couple of days, further enhancing the convenience and accessibility of our platform.

MultiSwap Explorer: Access to MultiSwap Analytics
We are excited to introduce the MultiSwap Explorer, a powerful tool that allows users to access MultiSwap analytics. With this feature, users can gain valuable insights into their trading activities, track performance, and make informed decisions based on comprehensive data

Crucible 2.0

Introducing the New and Improved UI:
We are launching Crucible with a brand-new UI designed to elevate your experience. This update brings a fresh, modern look to the platform, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. The new UI is not just about visual appeal; it fundamentally improves the way you interact with Crucible.

Improved Flow and User Experience:
The updated UI has been meticulously designed to improve the overall flow and user experience. Here are some key enhancements you can expect:

  • Streamlined Navigation: The new layout makes it easier to find and access the features you need, reducing the time and effort required to complete tasks.
  • Enhanced Accessibility: Improved accessibility features ensure that Crucible is user-friendly for everyone.
  • Intuitive Design: The interface is more intuitive, with clear and concise information that guides you through each step of the process.

Ordinals Passport

The Ordinals Passport is a phygital item that was first debuted at NFC Lisbon. It combines a physical element, used during the conference to drive engagement with attendees by guiding them through various activities and checkpoints, with an on-chain element on the Bitcoin blockchain, ensuring authenticity and traceability. Attendees who completed more activities with their passports were entered into a higher prize pool, increasing their chances of winning substantial rewards. This innovative approach fostered an atmosphere of active involvement and discovery throughout the conference.

The value of the Ordinals Passport extends beyond just activities and prizes. It provided a platform for meaningful collaboration with numerous projects within the web3 space, expanding our reach and networking opportunities. By integrating these passports, we successfully showcased some of our products and services to a targeted and engaged audience, enhancing brand visibility. Looking ahead, this approach to event engagement can significantly elevate future conferences. It makes them not just places of learning and networking, but also interactive hubs of activity and collaboration, thereby fostering deeper connections with key players in the space.
