Loopring Bi-Weekly Update — 12/23/2017

Loopring is the protocol for decentralized token exchange

Development

In a nutshell: the beta1 version of our Loopr wallet, available at https://loopring.io, is feature-complete and functional. If your address has been whitelisted, you will be able to trade tokens.

Loopr wallet beta1 available at https://loopring.io (invitation only)

Loopr now interacts with protocol 1.0.0 final deployment on Ethereum mainnet. Here are the contract addresses:

* TokenRegistry: 0x974e1e639b5a3c5f44909E1959Ab786AF21B7086  
* TokenTransferDelegate: 0x450D10A0C61f2b007384128B626F28b757A75e49  
* RinghashRegistry: 0xeE445e921F481c04A5d254A7F8f013F48A6f0947  
* LoopringProtocolImpl:  0x03E0F73A93993E5101362656Af1162eD80FB54F2  
* TransferableMultsig:  0x7421ad9C880eDF007a122f119AD12dEd5f7C123B

We believe there are still quite some bugs in Loopr as well as in our relay implementation, but trading should be very secure because the way Loopring was designed. Our engineers will do more testing to fix bugs and optimize the UI. In the meanwhile, we have started to design a brand new UX/UI for beta2. We hope beta2 will bring the user experience to the next level.

We are also working on a plan to invite LRC holders to our beta1 testing program. People in our RocketChat/Telegram channels, and those who went to our offline meetups will have a better chance to opt-in.

Disclaimer: being part of the beta1 testing program implies you acknowledge and agree to taking full responsibility for any potential lose of your asset. Please restrain yourself from using addresses that hold a large amount of tokens or ether.

With 273 new commits submitted to our github repository, and all the hard work on AWS deployment and so forth, our engineers and community contributes deserve a “Thank you”. We wish them a merry christmas and a happy new year.
