Product Update — August 16, 2019

Hello Dash Community!

Here’s what’s been going on at Dash Core Group this week.

🚀 DashCore v0.14.0.3 release. This upgrade is highly recommended for Masternode Owners and includes database space usage improvements, fixes for signing failures, signed binaries for Windows, and more.

✉️ Completed executive summary of state transition concurrency technical design document and documented the ‘Create Invitation’ process proof of concept. (As a reminder: state transition concurrency ensures consensus is reached by quorums on the proper order of state transitions in Dash Platform.) The ‘Create Invitation’ process will allow for users of DashPay to invite friends to register blockchain usernames.

🕵️‍♂️ Investigated Simplified Object Verification (SOV) and Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) solution in Dash Platform. SPV allows users of light clients like mobile apps to get payment information without having to download the whole blockchain. SOV similarly allows users of light clients to get state transition data (“objects”) without having to download the entire state transition packets.

🏦 Released DashWallet v3.14 (iOS), which includes the Uphold integration and the new price source.

📏 Released DashWallet v6.6.2 (Android) which includes the new price source, as well as in-app messaging and analytics.

🎨 Completed the ‘Paid’ state of the Account Activity screen in DashPay and updated the profile picture; updated the ‘Pay’ flow designs and fixed bugs on the home screen.
