Router Tech Fortnightly Update

March Edition: Part 1

Welcome to the March edition of the Router Tech Fortnightly Update, another step forward in our continuous effort to enhance and expand our technological infrastructure and services. We’re here to share the progress made across various segments of our project, including Router Chain, Ecosystem dApps, Developer Tooling, and our Intents framework, along with our focus for the upcoming weeks.

Chain Updates

• Timed-Out Packet Handling: Introduced solutions for handling timed-out packets in asset transfers for Osmosis.
• Quotation Service Design: Forwarder quotation service design is finalized. This new design would help us scale the number of forwarders.
• Contract Modifications: Adjustments to Asset Forwarder Contracts and Nitro forwarder to extend Nitro to other Cosmos chains.
• Transaction Delay Solutions: Identified and resolved issues causing transaction delays.

dApp Updates

• Near Contract Deployment: Initiated the deployment process for Near contracts for Nitro internal mainnet.
• TVL Script: Implemented a TVL script covering the entire Nitro ecosystem, check it out here: Explorer.
• Audit Fixes for Gas TopUp: Completed audit fixes for the GasTopUp contract; deployment on the internal Mainnet was also completed.
• Testnet Additions: Added Kyoto and Osmosis to the testnet.
• Forwarder Rebalancing Script Optimization: Optimized the forwarder asset rebalancing script.
• PartnerID UI Integration Testing: Conducted integration testing for PartnerID UI Integration. Now, partners can generate PartnerID seamlessly–https://app.routernitro.com/partnerId
• Liquidity Ownership Contract: Completed the liquidity ownership flow for the Forwarder service; live on Testnet.
• Gas TopUp: Deployed Gas TopUp on Polygon, Avalanche, BNB, Base, & RootStock chains
• AlephZero: Conducted orchestrator integration testing on the Alpha Network.
• Nitro Bug Fixes: Addressed bugs and optimizations within Nitro.

Tools Update

• Nitro Explorer Analytics: A new addition of analytics is now live: https://explorer.routernitro.com/analytics
• Wallet Integration: Added Near wallet selector & Coinbase wallet integration for Nitro UI.
• Router-Station Updates: Adjusted for compatibility with multiple environments.
• Gas TopUp Integration: Completed API for Near and Tron integration; testing underway.
• Proxy Validation Service: Implemented for Nitro Explorer to manage missed transactions. This service will ensure that if any transactions are not completed on the destination side, it will recommit these transactions.
• Transaction Validation Update: Updated transaction validation/status display for Nitro UI.
• PF Update and Fee Calculations: Added and completed forwarder fee calculations for L2s.

Intents

• Lido Mainnet PoC: Backend and UI development for Lido (a Staking provider on Ethereum) intents on the mainnet.
• Intents Store Designs: Completed designs for the Intents store.
• Aerodrome (DEX) and Benqi (LSD) Adapters: Tested and deployed adapters.
• stETH Bridging Adapters: Integrated stETH (minting) bridging adapters across multiple chains.

Upcoming Focus

• UI Integration and Testing: Focused on integrating and testing the Nitro workflow UI.
• Forwarder Pool Contract Testing: Conducted on alpha and initiated on the testnet. This will allow forwarders to have smart contracts for providing liquidity.
• Relayer Development for AlephZero: Progress with development in Node.js.
• Mainnet Preparation: Ongoing prep for Near on the internal mainnet.
• Liquidity Ownership Flow Audit: Awaiting audit for the Liquidity Ownership flow for the Forwarder service.
• Fee Manager Optimizations: Minor optimizations and configurations in the Fee Manager middleware.
• Asset Forwarder Configuration: Transitioning Asset Forwarder Config to Fee Manager for a lighter contract.
• Support for Circle CCTP Flow: Implementing source-side swap support.
• Gas TopUp Deployment: Expanding Gas TopUp contract deployment to additional chains.
• AlephZero Testing: Continuing orchestrator and relayer testing on the Alpha Network.
• Nitro Explorer API Optimization: Enhancements to /health check and optimization.
