Dev Release 95

Greetings BlockDAG Community,

Developer Update: Enhancing User Experience and Expanding Features
Password Functionality Development
Today, our team made significant progress on the new password functionality, particularly focusing on refining the "Forgot Password" flow. During development, we encountered a few uncertainties regarding how the user experience should be structured for optimal clarity and ease of use. To address this, we held an internal meeting to brainstorm and finalize a flow that prioritizes simplicity and user-friendly design. Our goal is to complete development by the end of this week, allowing us to rigorously test the flows and ensure a seamless user experience once the features go live.

Deep Linking Progress
On the deep linking front, our team achieved an important milestone by getting a few files whitelisted on the smaller domain when users are redirected from a referral link. This step is crucial for ensuring that the deep linking functionality works flawlessly, providing users with a smooth and cohesive experience as they navigate from external links back into the app.

UI Enhancements
In parallel with these developments, we are making several updates to the UI. These include adding a new background, adjusting the input field color, and modifying the user onboarding flow in line with the new password functionality. These changes are aimed at not only improving the visual appeal of the app but also ensuring that the user journey is intuitive and engaging.

Turning to our BlockDAG Explorer, we’re excited to share that the team has successfully completed the dashboard page for UTXO support and is now moving on to the next major module:
UTXO Blocks.
UTXO Blocks Module
In the blocks module, our team has begun implementing the API to effectively fetch and display comprehensive data related to blockchain blocks. This includes retrieving the blocks listing from the database, which will provide users with an organized view of all blocks within the blockchain. Additionally, the blocks detail page is being developed to present in-depth information for each block, such as:

• Current Depth: This indicates the position of the block within the blockchain, showing how deep it is relative to the genesis block.
• Block Size: The size of the block, which is crucial for understanding the volume of transactions it contains.
• Merkle Root: A critical cryptographic summary of all transactions in the block, ensuring the integrity and consistency of the data.
• Timestamp: The exact time at which the block was mined, providing a chronological record of the blockchain.
• Transaction Count: The total number of transactions included in the block, offering insight into network activity.
• Previous Block Hash: A reference to the hash of the previous block, maintaining the chain’s continuity.

This comprehensive data will empower users to deeply explore and verify the state and history of the blockchain, enhancing transparency and trust in the BlockDAG ecosystem. Our focus is on ensuring that all relevant details are easily accessible, contributing to a robust and user-friendly BlockDAG Explorer.

Sneak Peek
Here’s a sneak peek of the upcoming UTXO Blocks module, showcasing our commitment to transparency and user empowerment in the blockchain space.


Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to enhance and expand our platform, ensuring that every feature is built with the user in mind.
