Development Update #10–07.19.2019

Here is a summary of new features and updates from the last two weeks:

💬 Significant Protocol Upgrades

• The protocol has been upgraded to make Virtual Apps look just like regular Apps. This is an important step in aligning our protocol with the Nitro protocol from Magmo.
• Removal of MultiSend and switch from using uninstallKey to determine which apps are funded to a master list in the Free Balance. This makes the protocol much more modular and easy to reason about.

⚙️ ERC20 Support at Client Level

• This continues to be a major focus, working closely with Connext on their v2.0. Over the last two weeks, we have merged several major pull requests
• Merged PR adding support for depositing ERC20
• Merged PR adding support for withdrawal of ERC20
• Merged PR adding support for instant-install of ERC20 based “regular” apps and virtual apps

📱 Progress on Wallet UI

• We have fully migrated the onboarding flow from the Playground to the Wallet UI, integrating with our Metamask extension via JSONRPC protocol
• Now, we are resuming work on WebDriver-based testing to add full end-to-end coverage for our wallet-UI test suite
