Astar Development Updates - Report # 1 Date: 2024/06/07 Introduction Welcome to Astar's weekly development update! In this topic, we provide you with the latest advancements, enhancements, and fixes across our protocol, portal, and network. Our goal is to keep you informed about the ongoing improvements and ensure you have the best possible experience. This week, there are no new runtime or network upgrades to announce, but we do have an exciting Portal update to share with the community. Portal Updates ⚙️ Features - The Portal Dashboard page was updated via #1289, which introduced inflation charts and redesigned the Data dashboard. The community can monitor real-time token inflation on this dashboard. - A Wallet Connect feature was incorporated into the wallet connection modal as detailed in #1278. Users can now connect their EVM wallets to the Astar portal using wallet connect. - Finally, a banner highlighting the start of the next dApp Staking voting period was added to the Portal in #1299. 🐛 Fixes - A bug in the XCM transfer interface concerning the switching between different XC20 tokens has been fixed. This fix can be found in #1294. 🔄 Refactors - A series of code refactors have been executed: the ledger migrate UIs for dApp staking V3 have been eliminated #1293, the dApp Staking v2 code has been scrapped in #1283, and the Yoki campaign banner has been removed in #1297.

🌅 Good Day Astar Community 🌅 We have a few updates to share with you: 1️⃣ Defi YoPorts are back on Yoki Origins! 🦊 Quickswap, Arthswap, and L2X YoPorts have been re-activated. - Each Defi YoPort now has a 15-minute recurrence limit. This means quests must be completed and verified every 15 minutes to continue minting new NFTs. - When verifying on-chain quests, if the total OMAs held before the quest plus the OMAs earned exceed 50, no OMAs will be awarded, and the transaction will fail. You'll need to wait 15 minutes before trying again. - The VeryLongSwap quests have been deactivated due to YoPort being sold out. Go check out these YoPorts 👉

yoki.astar.network

We want to highlight that multiple team members have confirmed the accurate verification of on-chain quests and the acquisition of OMAs. However, occasional glitches and latency may occur due to the complexity of reading blockchain data. The Astar team will monitor quest statuses periodically, but if you encounter any issues, please inform us through Discord tickets or the Yoki Origins channel. 2️⃣ Following the reorganization that occurred on Astar zkEVM between March 6 and 8, our CTO Shaun has shared additional details on the forum. ⤵️

forum.astar.network

Polygon has released a post-mortem report detailing the root causes of the incident. I encourage you to read it to gain insights into the event and what we can expect moving forward. 🤓 3️⃣ Discovering Mazda NFT: Meta-Mazda Secret NFTs on Astar zkEVM, The Mazda YoPort has made its debut in Yoki Origins, so grab some of these amazing NFTs before they're gone 👉
