Development Update #12–08.16.2019

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

🚢 Connext v 2.0 launched on testnet!

• For the last several weeks, we have been working with Connext to help them build their v 2.0 using the Counterfactual framework
• On August 6, v 2.0 launched on testnet — more info here!

⚙️ API & Protocol Improvements

• Added the ability to submit withdrawal transactions without initiating channel party paying gas
• Incremental API improvements to provide better UX for Node RPC calls
• More resilient multisig deployments

💠 Protocol alignment with Magmo

• We are nearing completion of optimized shared contracts that implement our shared protocol in a gas optimized way

📱Wallet UX and test suite

• Our MetaMask integration Wallet UX now supports on-boarding, deposits and withdrawals with both ETH and ERC20 tokens from the Wallet UI.
• Adding more test scenarios to cover use of both ETH and ERC20. Once the deposit scenario is stable, we’ll move on to withdrawals.
• Started work on creating a Docker image to move the E2E runner to our CI pipeline, to increase confidence and stability to our steadily-flowing code changes.

Early version of new Wallet UX
