EDG Developer Update: Dec 12 - Dec 18, 2021
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
- Depth Hoar created a pull request for Edgeware's rosetta-api that was merged to the master branch. Rosetta-api is an api that is used for several exchanges most notably coinbase.
- Junte has created a pull request for an atomic swap pallet for Edgeware's runtime.
🌞Today I created my first PR on the @HeyEdgeware node repo. It's supposed to add the atomic swap pallet to the runtime. $EDG holders'd be able to trade their coins for $KLP or $Neat and vice versa. It helps making OTC deals more secure.🔐https://t.co/WGwONUeupU
