Decentralfi.io Dev Update # 5

Don´t miss our latest post #BRINGBACKMCCN, THORChain, our thoughts on the events that transpired in the last couple of months. https://decentralfi.medium.com/bringbackmccn-thorchain-8c72f3da1f3b

- Launched a QA environment, along with Live env. and a Dev env. already in place, with a QA process for upgrades. We also implemented SCRUM to really get the team of 9 in a flow.
- Optimized for sizing on most pages, try to fit the most amount info into your screen, less scrolling more DATA.
- On dev.decentralfi.io we have added the possibility to switch from Testnet to chaosnet. Especially for wallet testing and bots, soon to come.
- Our Graphs are getting worked on, more interaction, zoom in, view the latest price and not the last closed point, we are also working on adding indicators to any of the graphs. We will also give the ability to add any endpoint we are collecting on our APIs
- Wallet integrations, have been advancing. Since the hacks, we have been more careful with releasing this functionality. We might continue working on it but only allow access post-mainnet launch.
- We have a lot other stuff on the pipeline that will continue to come out as we finalize. We also started doing research into Terra ecosystem to integrate in our dashboards.
- Integrated Discord with our API via webhooks to let us know when our cron jobs with Midgard are having problems or not communicating properly with our site.
-Our main focus is to bring the average user to use these amazing platforms so they can optimize their yields safely and not have to rely solely on centralized solutions.
-We are working towards becoming an important repository of information especially to the underserved communities around these ecosystems located in LATAM, soon to have a Spanish Version and Portuguese Version of our site.
