Activity: 33 PRs merged
Context: Dominant focus of August 2024 development - block explorer and web wallet for Antelope blockchains

August 2024 marked intensive development of Unicove, with work focused on building core wallet functionality, account management, resource operations, and user interface components. The project progressed from foundational components to implementing complex features like token transfers and RAM management.

Major Feature Areas

Account Management & State (Early August)

Work began with establishing account management infrastructure, including account state tracking, balance displays, delegations, and REX integration. Network state management was implemented to handle blockchain-specific configurations and features. An account switcher component enabled users to manage multiple accounts within the interface.

Core Wallet Features (Mid August)

Token transfer functionality was implemented with dedicated send pages and input forms. The internal API was refined and URL structures were reorganized to support clean routing patterns. Settings functionality was added to provide user configuration options.

Resource Management (Late August)

RAM buy and sell pages were implemented, enabling users to manage their RAM allocations through the interface. Additional RAM management features were added to support various RAM operations. A search interface was built to enable users to find accounts, transactions, and other blockchain data.

Onboarding & Integration (Late August)

Signup pages and MetaMask Snap integration were added to support account creation workflows. This work coordinates with WharfKit wallet-plugin-metamask and account-creation-plugin-metamask development happening in parallel.

Component Architecture

Significant effort went into building reusable UI components including switches, language selectors, asset inputs, buttons with disabled states, progress indicators, navigation elements, name inputs, form selects with images, and favicons. Development tooling was enhanced with Prettier and TypeScript plugins for code quality.

New Repositories

greymass/2nicove-worker

Created: 2024-08-27
Repository: https://github.com/greymass/2nicove-worker
Description: Experimental API platform for 2nicove
Last Push: 2024-10-29

Purpose: Backend worker service for the experimental 2nicove platform. The project provides API infrastructure with InfluxDB v2 integration for time-series data storage and querying.

README Summary: 2nicove-worker is a backend service built with Bun that integrates with InfluxDB v2 for data storage. The service requires external InfluxDB configuration and uses environment variables for connection settings including API endpoints, tokens, and organization details. The project uses Make for dependency management and development workflows. It can compile to a standalone binary for production deployment alongside InfluxDB.

Technology Stack: Bun (JavaScript runtime), InfluxDB v2 (time-series database), environment-based configuration

Initial Activity: Created August 27, 2024 with continued development through October 2024

Significance: This repository represents experimental work on next-generation infrastructure for Unicove-related services, using modern tooling (Bun) and time-series data storage for improved performance and scalability.
