RISE Web Wallet
Mart and Tobias are making great progress with the new web wallet. This month they have used a new testing framework called Cypress.io. Cypress is an automated testing framework built for the modern web which recently received seed funding for its technology. Cypress offers fast, easy and reliable testing for anything that runs in a browser. Mart and Tobias have also focused on end-to-end test to simulate real user actions, ensuring the team is focused on delivering value to the end user. Continuous tests ensure that RISE software and code is of a high quality.
On the RISE wallet repository 124 commits have been pushed to master and 174 commits to all branches. On master, 77 files have changed and there have been 7,482 additions and 5,377 deletions. You can still sign up as a tester for future testing by filling out this form.

Team
We welcome a new developer, Julian to the development team. Following the completion of his Bachelor’s in 2015, Julian relocated to New York in order to start a FinTech Startup Studio, and while there became acquainted and enamoured by the Ethereum Blockchain community in Brooklyn. After engaging in more traditional Startups working in Full Stack Development for a few years, Julian decided to pursue blockchain technologies full time. He has since moved to Vienna, and works around the clock striving to turn the ‘Decentralized Dream’ into reality. We are thrilled to have him onboard to contribute to the development of RISE. Julian has been with the team for one week and already accomplished a lot. Initially, Julian is going to help with documentation for RISE. He has already built a tool for generating an OpenAPI spec from the RISE node, integrated the tool into the RISE node for samples and used ReDoc to parse swagger.json into the documentation site.
Another update from the development team is that Jose will no longer be contributing to RISE development. We thank him for all his work over the past year and wish him well for his future endeavours.
This month Anjalee attended the Blockchain Live conference on behalf of RISE in London. The quality of content at blockchain conferences has greatly improved over the course of the last year. We are excited about the progress of technology in this space.
