EPNS Monthly Blocks

June 2022

We made it to a wonderful end of Q2! Lots of foundational work have happened throughout this first half of the year in preparation for all the great things coming for EPNS in the remaining part of 2022. Let’s go briefly over the happenings of this month.

Development 🏗️

The development shop have been working non-stop on several different items. Not only new feature development, but also fine turning and optimization to ensure we are ready to scale and fulfill the most demanding needs of the web3.

Let’s go over some of the optimizations first:

• Push Nodes optimization and standardization to improve performance is in the works.
• The initial draft for the public Analytics Dashboard is coming along nicely and very soon will go LIVE.
• The all-new user interface of the EPNS Browser extension is live on Prod now.
• The sign-out feature of the Mobile App is going LIVE soon.

Now, new features is something we continuously work on based on research and feedback from our collaborators and community:

• New DAPP features that allows channel owners to preview notifications and view the list of all delegates of the channel. Going Live soon!
• Web Sockets are live in a Staging environment, and in preparation to go to Prod.
• Send notifications through subgraph is now LIVE!
• Wallet-To-Wallet communication have been making great strides this month. In the final development stage for the frontend part, and great progress in the backend as well.

This month we also announced that EPNS Core Smart Contracts v1.5 is in audit . This version shall include new features like time-bound channels, reward claiming functions etc.

Finally, given our big focus on the developer community, this month we hosted a two-day virtual workshop for developers on EPNS basics & building a dApp, and had a wonderful time sharing with all hackers from ETH NYC.

About EPNS

EPNS is building the world’s first open communication layer for the Web3 ecosystem, first for Ethereum and then for L2s and other blockchains. The protocol enables any smart contracts, dApps, or traditional servers to send notifications tied to the wallet addresses of a user in a platform-agnostic fashion (i.e., notifications can be integrated and shown on any crypto wallet, mobile apps, extension, or dApps).
