In August, Rangers Protocol continued its diligent work on technical development and ecosystem construction, with remarkable progress in cross-chain and public chain integration, a new technical document released, and its first dApp being tested. Meanwhile, the Rangers Protocol mainnet continued to operate stably, so far generating 22 million blocks in total.

Technical Progress

In August, the Rangers Protocol team shifted its development focus onto the cross-chain function and public chain integration, and the development of the Delegated Staking System was fully completed.

Rangers Connector

1. The blockchain integration of Rangers Connector continues smoothly and has been completed by 80% overall.

The detailed development progress in previous months is listed as follows:

Signature replacement of the consensus module group is completed by using the TSS algorithm instead of the BLS algorithm and tested through (95%);
Replacement of the grouping algorithm by substituting the BLS algorithm with the TSS algorithm is completed (95%);
Underlying code and value settings of block generation of the cross-chain bridge economic model have been updated and passed testing (90%);
Node recruitment and the following node deployment on the Rangers Protocol network are to be updated;

More functions were being developed in August and are currently progressing steadily, including:

The cross-chain data acquisition module is 60% developed, with the Ethereum data crawl module fully developed.
Integration of the cross-chain bridge fee calculation module and the contract calling module (the original bridge module) was completed by 20%;
The problem that the transaction fee is not calculated when users submit cross-chain requests is being fixed in the front end. The overall progress is 90%.

2. Cross-chain and Public Chain Integration

Following a new development direction focusing on cross-chain and integration with public chains, Rangers Protocol has put in concrete work and achieved substantial progress in integrating with two trending public chains. The progress with each public chain is listed as follows:

a. Integration with public chain M (100%)

Integration and testing on Robin Testnet finished;
Integration and testing on Rangers Protocol mainnet all complete

b. Integration with public chain S (50%)

DApp

1. Delegated Staking System

The development of the Delegated Staking System is all finished. More detailed development progress is as follows:

a. VM staking instructions: 100% (complete in June);

b. Contracts and the front-end: 90%;

c. Comprehensive testing of front-end and back-end functions: 95%;

d. Deployment on Robin Testnet and Rangers Protocol mainnet: 95%;

f. Check and acceptance on Rangers Protocol mainnet: 100%.

Meanwhile, the development work of other tools is also being carried forward steadily, including the updates and fixes of Rangers Mainnet, the updates of the NFT cross-chain function, and the optimization of UniPass. More new feature requests are being scheduled for Rangers Scan data service as well.

New Achievements

Technical Doc Launch

Rangers Protocol released an updated technical document in August to introduce its Web3 Engine and the tools the engine professionally backs up. The document provides a comprehensive guide for accessing Rangers Protocol’s services with step-by-step illustrated instructions, depicting the vision of an approachable Web3 future that Rangers Protocol strives to enable.

The technical document presents tools, including Rangers Bridge, Oracle, Rangers Scan, and Grand Guard, with their strengths, capabilities, and future potential, as well as detailed instructions. It also contains information on how to self-develop a node, integrate MetaMask into Dapps, or deploy smart contracts through Rangers Protocol, exemplifying Rangers Protocol’s ability to provide dApp building and migration functions.

The step-by-step guide intends to solve every problem that may come in the way of developers and users, lower the development and usage barrier, and allow more people to take full advantage of Rangers Protocol’s services. The doc will be constantly updated as Rangers Protocol grows in capacity and scope and caters to a stable base of services for complex dApps.

DeHeroGame Technical Testing

The GameFi application DeHeroGame, the first dApp deployed on the Rangers Protocol network, is currently running a Close Beta Test on the Rangers Protocol mainnet from August 30 to September 13. This is its third testing following the beta testing on Robin Testnet in June and the mainnet technical test in July.

In addition to the updated gameplay with a new PVE adventure mode, more PVE adventure chapters, and a higher cap of hero levels, the usage process and user experience of the previously integrated non-custodial wallet UniPass have also been optimized in the tested version with the help of Rangers Protocol.

Meanwhile, the new version of DeHeroGame also features Metamask as an additional login method on top of UniPass to give users more choices to access the game. An official Gitbook with detailed instructions is also provided to guide users to experience the game with generous gift packs.

Rangers Protocol will continue its plan with technical development, ecosystem expansion, and more. Please stay tuned for the latest progress.
