EDG Developer Update: Aug 28 - Sep 3, 2022
Keeping you up to date on all things technical related to Edgeware and more! Always in a human-readable form, we look at the code changes, so you don't have to.
Status updates
- Council member remz has created a new aura dependency that is now located in the Edgeware repository. Aura is used for proof of authority consensus. Remz also created a new branch called burp-28 with a generate/bags pallet. This is similar to voting delegation, but you can delegate your nominations for staking.
- JelliedOwl (Paul) has added an Edgeware RPC node for edgeware apps and polkadot apps. You can see the git commit here.
- Depth Hoar the noobie UI is live and completed. However, the Edgeware community has decided to call the noobie UI simple UI from now on; the domain name will change soon. You can use it using this link here.
- EDG Dev Meetings on Thursdays at 6 pm CEST. If you have questions for developers, please bring questions beforehand. You can listen to the recordings here.
