Monthly Development Report | August 2023
Summary
During the month, the team made significant achievements in their respective projects. They continued the development of the node and signing infrastructure for MultiSwap, started working on the fee management module that allows the system to dynamically handle the fee deduction and distribution across stakeholders.
On the integration front, the team worked on feedback given by Cudos team during review. Additionally, continuous efforts were dedicated to collaborating with reviewers to obtain approvals for all milestones related to Casper Network. The team continued their focus to integrating other networks with MultiSwap along with code reviews and optimization.
Furthermore, the Mainnet team performed a live testnet demo for staking. The team started implementing the fraud proof apparatus for Quantum Portal. Fraud proofs provides on chain proof of block validity. This makes QP effectively a multi chain optimistic layer 2 with base later guarantees. In the next month we will be focused on addressing technical debt and improving product quality in order to get ready for public launch.

Mainnet
During August, mainnet team presented a live demo of active testnet which is ready for testing. The team made progress on Quantum Portal faucet and presented a UI demo with some backend integration. We started implementing the fraud proof apparatus for Quantum Portal. Fraud proofs provides on chain proof of block validity. This makes QP effectively a multi chain optimistic layer 2 with base later guarantees. We are focused on addressing technical debt and improving product quality in order to get ready for public launch.
MultiSwap
The team worked on the fee management feature for MultiSwap. This feature deducts fees from user transactions and dynamically distributes to addresses based on ratios. Network fees are deducted in the native currency to support withdrawals. The next focus is to work on dynamic gas price for every single network.
We are also expecting to complete and production deploy the node and signing infrastructure feature where we are creating a generator, validator and master node to secure every transaction that goes through MultiSwap.
COSMWASM MultiSwap Integration
The milestone 4 which included integrating with Cudos mainnet and conducting swaps to and from Cudos with multiple other networks is currently under review and is expected to be approved within the next few days. The team has already initiated efforts for completion of milestone 5 and hope to get it submitted and approved within this month.
Crucible Whitelabeling
With this latest enhancement, Crucible can now be white labeled, allowing organizations to apply their preferred theme and colors, giving their Crucible experience a personalized touch. Our team has developed an intuitive customization interface within Crucible’s administrative settings, allowing administrators to easily configure and apply their desired theme and colors.
We have also onboarded our first Crucible Whitelabeling client and will be setting up Crucible as per their theme.
