Coinweb Update

We’ve been shipping, again!

November and December were big months for us as we shipped our Developer Portal, a new website, and a $10 million Grant Programme. The team is currently talking to different possible builders daily about integrating with the Coinweb Protocol. Fortunately, through our own Coinweb events, we’ve built a database of founders and team members from over 200 projects.

Grant Programme: Coinweb Labs is offering grants of up to $300,000 for developers building dApps and Web3 services on Coinweb's scalable and interoperable L2 protocol. Are you a developer seeking a grant? Fill out this form: GRANT APPLICATION

Developer Portal: Developers aiming to start building on top of Coinweb can find all the essential resources at our development portal, located at docs.coinweb.io. This comprehensive portal features SDKs, tools, how-to guides, deep dives into new use cases, and much more.

Production-ready deployment:
Our first sets of SDKs for dApps to be launched in production are based on the functionalities of our Wallet, LinkMint and DeconX. With these tools, developers could easily set up dApps based on:

• Wallet Token Support Integration

• DEX/CEX Token Support Integration

• Blockchain-Agnostic Token Issuance

• Telegram Token Issuance Bots

• Telegram Coinweb Token Tracking Bots

• Liquidity through Bonding Curves

• Crypto Bubbles for Coinweb Tokens

• Jump Transactions

• and more…

Dev Net 0.1:
With our Dev Net 0.1, we are opening up a lot of different use cases to be built on Coinweb.

Capabilities:

• L2 High-order Smart Contracts using Javascript

• Tools for deploying smart contracts on-chain

• Token transactions within the Dev Net chain

• Implementation of various logic types

• Limited access to L1 data

• Version 0.1 of reactive, self-invoking smart contracts

Example Use Cases:

• Blockchain Agnostic NFTs

• NFT Marketplaces

• DEXs

• Wallets

• Liquidity Pools

• DAOs

• Web3 Games

• Lending/Borrowing

• Yield Applications

• Derivatives (inc LSDs)

• RWA tokenisation

• and more…

New Website:  We've recently launched a new version of Coinweb.io with a heightened focus on builders. This website emphasizes the technical aspects of the Coinweb Protocol and showcases the ecosystem.

Discord Launched: Although not yet promoted, we have launched a Discord server. This will be crucial moving forward as we start onboarding more and more developers. It will serve as a space for developers and community members to discuss all things about Coinweb. To join, use this link: COINWEB DISCORD

And we shipped even more…

November and December were two major months in terms of delivery from our tech team. Here is a high-level overview.

Dev-team Update

Core - tooling:

• Added a verifier tool for the shuffled blocks (i.e. comparing between runs and similar) (part of  verifier tool for comparing full nodes)

Devnet:

• New docker container image that includes coinweb running on devnet,  with supporting tooling (explorer etc) for local development

• Better trace errors in the explorer for devnet smart contracts (stderr + stdout)

• Create-coinweb-dApp: refresh examples, splitting into several repositories at https://gitlab.com/coinweb/ccd-examples

• Create-coinweb-dApp: improvements including --template foo not need to specify full repo, naming convention for (react and other front-ends in examples).

• Core contracts: updates to self-registry, data-hasher, contract-kit

• Core contracts: rewritten in typescript

• Support scoped contract modules in CWEB-tool

DevOps - core:

• Implemented support for deployment of Coinweb to AWS, tuned by AWS professionals.

Core:

• Implemented better use of memory cache in the shard computer (l2 computer).

• Fix: support smart contract continuations for the tokenization block when there is no withdrawal

• Added support for whitelisting smart contracts in beta mainnet.  this allows for community voting on bringing select smart contracts from devnet into beta mainnet.

• CWEB-vm-lib typescript library exposed which allows easy computation of contract IDs from javascript/typescript

• Smart contracts in devnet can withdraw CWEB from the tokenization block

• New rust crates for staking and CWEB-wasm-repository, and CWEB-computation-plugin

• Better typescript types for the tokenization block

• Redid wasm packages to use esm modules by default, i.e. @coinweb/wallet-lib, @coinweb/CWEB-vm-lib

• Made BlockOp available to devnet.  This allows suspending a transaction until a complex combination of L1 events has occurred and enables reactive smart contracts.

• Made CWEB-virtual-machine and CWEB-claims-proof wasm32-compatible

• Merged all Devnet features into Betanet, now gated.

Wallet:

• Swap activity minor fixes

• Duplicate custom tokens in watchlist

• History section spinner added

• Various UI fixes

• Devnet/Betanet selection in settings

• KYC country updates

LinkMint:

• Auto-refresh after token add

Documentation:

• Added Tony to docs.coinweb.io, a chatbot tuned to know about Coinweb.

Merge requests merged in December: 170

… and will in the near term be shipping:

Coinweb Labs Website: 
Like many protocols, we recognise the importance of keeping the centralised part of development away from the decentralised part, the Coinweb Protocol. The new Coinweb Labs website will display the products we’ve built, be responsible for the Grant Programme for projects building on Coinweb and information on licensing and much more.

Partnerships:
We are currently forming a solid foundation of partnerships. This includes strategic partnerships with projects, incubators, accelerators, VCs and more. This is something we’ll have a few announcements around within the first quarter of 2024.
