Welcome back to the second part of our April edition of the Router Tech Fortnightly Update. This issue continues our exploration of recent advancements and sets the stage for upcoming developments. Our focus remains steadfast on enhancing our technological offerings, ensuring a seamless and powerful experience across all integrations.

Chain Updates:

Migration and Forwarders:

The JavaScript (JS) implementation of both EVM and Azero forwarder is underway, promising enhanced compatibility and efficiency. This will enable us to integrate more chains relatively easily as we will have support of both golang and JS for forwarders.

Chain Integrations:

Injective Chain: Successfully integrated into our 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 an ongoing development of the Asset Forwarder.
Middleware Improvements: Resolved issues impacting Bitcoin transactions; a pull request (PR) for testnet improvements is raised.
CCTP Bridge: Enhancements completed, supporting robust cross-chain operations.

Dapp Updates:

Mainnet Launches and Configurations:

The Asset Bridge was deployed on Arthera Mainnet for the USDC token, and configurations for Rollux Tokens were completed across specific chains.
The Sui Gateway implementation was finalized, marking a milestone in our integration efforts.

Near to Alpha Mainnet:

We are nearing the launch of our services on the alpha version of the Near mainnet, enhancing our platform’s reach.

Fee and Contract Management:

Introduced a fee update script for the Asset Bridge flow, improving transaction cost transparency.

Tools & DevOps:

UI/UX Enhancements:

Continuous improvements in user interface (UI) across various platforms, including fee updates and withdrawal processes, enhancing the user experience.

Solana CCTP Integration:

Integration of Solana for CCTP flow has been completed for Dapp, Pathfinder, and Explorer, expanding our support for cross-chain functionality.

API and Integration Optimizations:

Completed Nitro explorer API updates and migration, with ongoing optimizations to ensure high performance.
Phantom wallet integration is being tested, soon to enhance user interaction capabilities.

Router Intents:

Adapter Developments:

Completed and testing underway for adapters like Velocore, Pendle, and SwapMode, aiming to facilitate seamless cross-chain deposits and claims.
The Intent Store UI is in progress, aiming to revolutionize how developers use and implement chain-agnostic solutions.

Upcoming Focus:

Completion of the JS implementation for EVM and Azero forwarders.
Enhancements and optimizations in Sui PoC to improve efficiency and functionality.
Continued integration and testing of new features in Nitro UI, including transaction simulations and CCTP events.
Final stages of testing for multiple adapters and the Intent Store UI, preparing for a comprehensive roll-out.

Stay tuned for more updates as we progress through a transformative year in blockchain technology. We value your continued support and encourage you to engage with us through our social media channels.
