Web Interface ✅

Chaosnet Release V0.19.2
Chaosnet Node operators sometimes get 300 slash points because they fail to send yggdrasil fund, and after that, bifrost consistently fail to send outbound transaction and cause node operator to accumulate large amount slash points until they restart bifrost. In this release apply a hard timeout (5 minutes) for keysign, if it take longer than that, bifrost will panic, and then it will be recreated by k8s cluster. This will make it self heal.

THORNode
Several bugs around synths were found and fixed, with the help of the community. Work on preparing a hard fork script was completed, with the intent to test a hard fork before Chaosnet. Finally, an improvement to Singlechain V0.19.2, which contains a timeout-panic-restart for the Bifrost to address a lingering bug

XChainJS
Stability and fixes for Asgardex requirements.

ASGARD.EXCHANGE
Fully ready for Chaosnet
Community Work
The following tools receive regular updates:
ASGARD.EXCHANGE
- Fix BCH errors that were happening on builds
- Update to how we’re handling balances. Previously, it was checking balances synchronously, and if one balance failed, it tripped up the rest. Now fetches balances asynchronously, noticably faster, and displays error if one of the balance API call fails
- Display USD input amount for swaps
- Started getting synths added to asgard.exchange
- Separated mainnet and testnet entry points for the explorer. Allows for clean CI for separate builds
- Fixed bug in state where some testnet endpoints were returning mainnet.
- Fixed bug on pools page of the explorer when pools were returned before RUNE price
- Updated volume chart to line chart instead of bar chart, added touchtip, changed up style
- Added external social links + link to single chain explorer to explorer
