Router Tech Fortnightly Updates!

May Edition: Part I

Welcome to the May edition of the Router Tech Fortnightly Update. As we step into a new month, the momentum of innovation and progress within Router Protocol continues to surge forward. This edition encapsulates the latest advancements across various fronts, including Chain Updates, Dapp Developments, Tools & DevOps, and insights into upcoming focuses.

Chain Updates:

• Injective Chain: Successfully integrated into our testnet network, expanding our ecosystem.
• Sui Proof of Concept (PoC): The PoC is to check how we can interact with Sui blockchain, i.e., read and write on Sui. Completed, with ongoing development of the Asset Forwarder.
• Middleware Improvements: Resolved issues impacting Bitcoin transactions; a pull request (PR) for testnet improvements is raised.

Dapp Updates:

Nitro:

• Development of Asset Forwarder EVM withdrawal flow is ongoing, enhancing asset management capabilities.
• Deployment of Fire and Taiko Test contracts has been completed, both these chains are now integrated on testnet.
• Migration of Asset Bridge and Fee Manager on Mainnet has been successful. The migration is aimed at a better optimized architecture, which will allow us to add more features in the future easily.
• Arthera and Saakuru are now live on Mainnet, expanding the reach of the platform.
• Integration of Base and Scroll in Asset Bridge Flow has been achieved, enabling broader asset compatibility. This will allow us to make tokens omnichain on Base and Scroll via mint/burn flow.

Tools & DevOps:

Nitro:

• New CCTP events for Nitro Explorer have been completed, improving event tracking capabilities.
• EVM transaction simulation on Nitro UI has been added, enhancing user interaction. This would make sure the gas calculated for the source transaction is accurate.
• Nitro-explorer API has undergone code review changes and updates for improved performance.
• Integration of Enso API with PF has been completed and deployed to the mainnet. This expands our swapping aggregators on the various chains.
• Chain integrations include Saakuru Mainnet and Helka Taiko testnet, expanding network compatibility.
• Lottery and Wheel of Fortune were released on the mainnet. These features allow users to win additional rewards while using Nitro.
• NEAR events integration for Nitro Explorer has been completed, enhancing event tracking capabilities.

Path-finder:

• Work on alerts, optimization, and error messages is underway, ensuring the smooth operation of the platform.
• Integration of Redis for quick API throughput has been completed, improving performance.
• Asset bridge integration for Osmosis is in progress, expanding asset compatibility for mint/burn flow on cosmos chains.

Router Intents and Adapters:

• Parifi adapter and backend integration have been completed, expanding network capabilities.
• Deployment of new BatchContract and DexSpan adapter for handling same chain analytics has been completed.
• Backend integration for Kim v2 and v4 has been completed, enhancing network functionality.
• Pipeline feature designs for Intent Store are in progress, aiming to streamline operations.
• Lynnex adapters are being developed, expanding adapter capabilities.
• Documentation for all adapters is in progress, facilitating ease of use.
• Intent Store launch and Velocore PoC were launched, promising innovative solutions.

Upcoming Focus:

• Fixing audit issues for Osmosis integration.
• E2E test cases for Azero are in progress, ensuring reliability and stability.
• Exploring Event Agent design for external chains, enhancing network compatibility.
• Migration of Asset Forwarder middleware on Mainnet is planned, improving asset management.
• Development of Solana Gateway Contract is underway, expanding network capabilities.
• Unit test-cases and on-chain end-to-end testing of Starknet Asset Forwarder Contract are in focus, ensuring contract reliability.
• Optimizing Orchestrator Middleware Contract to improve network efficiency.
• Implementation of alert on Invalid Fund Paid Requests to avoid funds loss.
• Continuing pipeline designs for Intent Store, aiming for streamlined operations.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the blockchain space!
