• Our team has finally released an official update for the light/dark scheme in Hashgreen DEX after fixing some bugs that occurred when switching between schemes. We've also made small adjustments to the color composition of the page in different schemes to increase readability. You can set up dark mode by clicking the switch button at the navigation bar.

• We've also worked through a few bugs of the frontend interface, making sure that your feedback is received and dealt with at all times.

• Wallet integration for Goby is coming! 😍 The development team has been devoting to finalizing wallet integration into our DEX, and now we are one step away from the one-click trading experience that you've all been waiting for. Before the launch of Goby integration, which will soon be announced, we would like to invite you to help us test the wallet integration on the testnet and give us some feedback. (Instructions are given below.)

• We have also started a poll at our Twitter, inquiring your feedback of which part of the integration that you love the most and which part of it can be improved. After you've tried it out at the testnet, please visit the page, vote, and leave us a comment. You can also visit #ideas-and-feedback channel at our Discord to share with us what's your thought about it.

Follow the Steps to Test Goby Wallet Integration​

1. Make sure you have installed Goby wallet in your PC.
2. Enter Hashgreen DEX's testnet.
3. Connect your Goby wallet with Hashgreen DEX.

4. Switch from Mainnet to Tesetnet10 in your Goby wallet.
   • Open your Goby wallet web extension.
   • Go to Setting.
   • Hit Advanced Options.
   • Hit Networks.
   • Change from Mainnet to Testnet10.

5. Visit this page and paste your address (It will be a long string beginning with "txch") to collect TXCH. You may wait several minutes until TXCH is received.
6. Go back to the trading page to make offers with TFRIES/TXCH.
7. Give us your feedback at our Twitter or Discord.

• Our team has released a brand new landing page of Hashgreen DEX. Over the past week, We've renovated the look of our landing page, including a few navigation components. We've also added a live market status menu in the landing page, allowing you to instantly check upon the trade information at the landing page.

• You can browse the trading pairs or you can type in the search bar to search for the markets. Once you've identified the trading pair, you can hit the Trade button at the right end of the live status, and you will be directed to the exact trading page in Hashgreen DEX without having to select the market pair again.

• The development team has been striving to release major updates that we planned to integrate into Hashgreen DEX. In light of the situation that we decided to prioritize and focus on the major updates, the release for an optimal internationalization will be postponed. The language switch will therefore be temporarily taken down for maintenance in the near future.

• The team has been working on an update for the light/dark scheme. We will optimize the switch and release it soon.

Hello to all the readers, who have stayed with Hashgreen along the way!

My name is James, the newly hired community lead of Hashgreen. I will take charge of the Weekly Update series and carry on providing information for future product updates. Harry will still publish tech blogs from time to time, leading you through finer details of Blockchain technology related to Chia and Hashgreen.

Over the month, the Chia community seems to have been less active than before, yet with the recent release of Chia Blockchain 1.3.4. As for us, we have made a few updates on Hashgreen DEX.

What's Been Done​

• Over the past few weeks, our DEX development team has implemented multi-offer upload into the web interface to make the process of transactions quicker and easier! Users can now upload multiple offer files simply by clicking the upload button or dragging and dropping offer files directly into the page.

• A new design of open orders and order history (now called my orders) is released. It's easier now for you to check the status of your orders and even make adjustments to it with a few clicks. Details of the trade information will be shown in the display board. The two dropdown menus at the top allow you to filter certain types of offers that you wish to see. You can also cancel your offer using the cancel button in the action column. Or you can cancel multiple offers by selecting them at once.

• Our team has updated a new interface for the order book, in which we re-oriented the menu of the offers. Offers asking or bidding a certain coin will be aligned with each other. You are able to expand or close the panels, to either compare the asking and bidding price or leave the order book with only one of the offers presented.

• We have released an update for the header! We add a control button where old headers are put together with the user ID button that was temporarily removed. Light/dark scheme switch and language options are moved to the header as well.

• We've continued to iterate with new features in the DEX, some of which are dedicated to the feedback from our Discord community.

• AMM is still under slow but steady development. Enabling AMMs on the Chia Blockchain turns out to be a really hard problem! If you'd ask us when you will have HashgreenSwap to test out on the testnet, we expect it to be here in another two quarters! In the meantime, we are starting to think about the tokenomics for the Hashgreen Token, to not only allow the profits to circulate back to the community but also create an active and healthy scheme that lasts long.

• In order to ameliorate the user experience, the UI/UX team will continue to remodel the web interface. We are working hard on the new landing page besides a few more integrations!

What's Been Done​

• Over the past weeks, fees on the Chia Blockchain seems to be here to stay. To allow our users get their transactions on chain quicker, we now provide users with the ability to supply fee by adding to the supplied Chia amount or removing from the requested Chia amount in their offers. The suggested fee is hinted on the pop-up window for order book items, and is currently 0.0001 XCH. We chose this number since it not only suffices to be on top of the mempool, but is miniscule (7 cents USD at the time of writing) for users. In the future, we plan to implement more accurate fee estimators to give better fee hints and save you some bucks.

• We made it easier for users to submit your orders! Simply copy the amounts provided in the pop-up panel when you hover on the offers you want to match against with the copy button. You can also paste your offer file string directly on the web interface.

• Many partners are starting to integrate our Market Statistics API into their platforms. The previous generation were slow and bulky, taking nearly 30 seconds to complete a call. We have optimized it to return the results in under half a second.

• New market selection menu is now available at UAT interface. If you want the UAT interface to connect with mainnet, head to UAT settings and toggle on PROD.

• We fixed many bugs on the frontend interface, including incorrect display of order status (sometimes it shows "Confirming undefined"), and user token retrieval errors.

• The smart coin team is coding up the first version of AMM coin driver for an MVP AMM protocol. As time goes on, we will gradually implement more standard functionalities in current AMMs!

What's Been Done​

• Over the weeks, we have been observing some users to submit deliberately mispriced orders and as a result, displacing the price reported in market statistics. We have adopted feedback from our community member Bluemoon to filter trade prices according to the current order book. The price field now is a stabler measure of the market. For existing API users who require stable price sources, there is nothing you need to do; for developers who want to see all trades including the mispriced ones, please check out Trade History API.

• You can now access all market statistics with Market Statistics API by leaving the market_id field blank.

• Over the course of the week, we added several tokens, including Little Lambo Coin, Green Wings, and Easter Egg. These community developers are have a blast with all kinds of activities! Active participation from community members is a critical factor to a project's success, and we enjoy co-hosting all sorts of events to foster the communities.

• We implemented support for fee on Hashgreen DEX and will soon roll out on the mainnet. Under dust storm conditions, it might take a few hours to settle your trades, but now you will be able to optionally receive a little bit less XCH or pay a little more XCH as the network fee to expedite your orders. The frontend will indicate the suggested fee according to network conditions, and usually a 0.0001 XCH will get your offers settled in no time!

• The UI/UX team continues to implement the product facelift.

• Goby integration, after reaching out to the Goby team, turns out to be not possible at the time of writing since the ability to make offers from Goby is still being implemented. Current integrations on other platforms rely on the offer taking feature, which has already been a part of previous Goby feature set. As briefly explained in a blog post, we believe an efficient DeFi system would require the operators aggregate the offers, so we are now waiting good news from the Goby team about the offer making functionality.

• We soon will start listing all tokens on the TAIL Database, compacted in the new market selection menu. You can even star your favorite CATs!

This is a long overdue update to the community! During the past two weeks, we are looking at other aspects of development on the Chia Blockchain.

What's Been Done​

• We worked with many project developers, including NINE, NioCoin, Zomb Studios, and FundMyLaptop on their airdropping campaign with our in-house airdrop tools. The need for such a tool for project developers cannot be overstated, and we managed to test it fairly thoroughly over the duststorm, sending out thousands of transactions on Chia. The airdrop tools is aimed for a open source later this month.

• The chialisp team is developing a chialisp library that enables secure smart coin development on Chia, much like OpenZeppelin on Ethereum. The goal is to not only establish a set of tools for easier smart coin development, but also re-implement some standards (e.g., CATs) for these advanced developers to understand the use case. Below is an sneak peek on the square root function we implemented which would be a core utility function for AMMs!

(
  ;; Babylonian method for square root.
  
  (defun cypher.math.sqrt-loop-babylonian (var var1 var2)

    (if (> var1 var2)
      (cypher.math.sqrt-loop-babylonian
        var var2 (/ (+ (/ var var2) var2) 2))
      var1
    )
  )

  (defun cypher.math.sqrt (var)
    (if (> var 3)
      (cypher.math.sqrt-loop-babylonian var var (+ (/ var 2) 1))
      (if (> var 0) 1 (if (= var 0) 0 (x)))
    )
  )
)

• The backend team wrapped up integration with the TAIL Database. We now have all the community CATs in our database, and once the new market selection menu is rolled out, you will be able to easily search up token markets!

• The UI/UX team worked through the first draft on the user interface refactor on Figma.

• We onboarded a frontend engineer, Henry, to help with mobile wallet integration. He will work with Goby wallet to enable that one-click trading experience.

• Goby integration is apparently the most requested feature! However, unlike offerpool and offerbin, Hashgreen implements our technology to be an offer aggregator so the raw offer files are never exposed to fellow users. We instead ask the wallet to upload a counter-offer to our website, which we can then be combined with existing offer on Hashgreen for blockchain execution.

• Due to the shear number of CATs out there, we are prioritizing the market selection menu refactoring. The upgraded menu would allow you to easily navigate hundreds of CATs, star your favorite ones, and group CATs by their types.

• We noticed that there is a need for a robust transaction micro-service to handle dApp requests, especially during the duststorm where fee is non-zero and when everyone suffers. This transaction micro-service will not only deterministically make sure a transaction is delivered, but also provide on-chain fee estimates for our upcoming dApps.

API Access​

Trading API has been the biggest update for the week. We are committed to provide a diverse set of API for developers so the community can grow with us. At the same time, we would like you to be explicit about the usage of Hashgreen APIs in your products to spread the words! Let us know your story and the creative use of both open market information and statistics.

• We added USD quotes and USD volume in the market stat endpoint. The fully diluted market cap for the base currency in USD (the token in the front of the trading pair) is also provided as a ball park measure of how big the token is.

Note that the reference prices are only estimates are can be vulnerable to self-trading exploits. Please do not use currency price quotes directly in mission critical systems but only as a good reference.

User Interface​

• The frontend team has been working hard on i18n (check out the beta site), and will be soon be pushed to the production site. We are offering Chinese and Spanish as a taste test, and are preparing for a community-based translation campaign!

• The aforementioned market statistics are now displayed as a part of the market header. You can easily judge market liquidity based on the USD volume.

• We've also worked through a bunch of frontend bug fixes including market selection menu overflow and asset filter menu. We won't bother detailing them but rest assured we are incorporating community feedback.

What's Rolling​

• Now that we have the fully diluted market cap, we are making a market overview menu to highlight the most traded and the highest cap tokens.

• The fully diluted market cap does not holistically represent the true market capitalization as any whale can HODL the majority of the tokens. What is more representative is the market cap based on circulating supply which can be tricky to automatically detect on Chia. We are working on some smart algorithms to pick that up from the blockchain.

• In the long run, we realize we need a more elegant product UI to streamline user experience. The recently onboarded UI designer is starting to work hard on the refactor.

• We had some very fruitful discussion on the mathematical design of automated market makers (AMM). There are some pretty important implications translating everything from account-based to coin-based models, and we are pretty sure we nailed it correctly.

Happy lunar new year everyone! The Asia-based Hashgreen dev team had a great lunar new year over the past week! We find that our Discord community has been very active, and some updates might get buried under the exciting updates on new CAT tokens joining the family every other few days. Hence we are starting to update you about our technical progress on a weekly basis.

What's Been Done​

User Interface​

• We added the light/dark scheme switch to make your eyes more comfortable, located in the footer section.
• Right beside the market selection button, there is a row of market statistics showing 24h high, 24h low, volume, and the current price.

API Access​

• To facilitate automatic trading, we released our first API doc on trading, including the ability to list markets, order books, and personal order creation/cancellation. We envision more and more participants can be in this process to reach the best market efficiency, involving arbitrage loops across Hashgreen DEX and other exchanges. In the loop, you will have to involve Stably Prime as they are the only stablecoin issuer on Chia right now.

• The statistics of markets can now be retrieved via stat API. In the first version, we provide 24-hour statistics on the traded volumes, and are working towards representing the volumes in USD.

Personnel​

• We onboarded a UI/UX designer, Ann, to help us improve our product further. There are some complicated integration with our partners including the official Chia wallet, a in-development Chrome extension wallet, and potentially one other browser-based wallet. We imagine the UX flow to be increasingly complicated, and hence it is time to involve specialists.

What's Rolling​

• I18n is coming! We aim to build Hashgreen DEX to be a platform everyone in the world can enjoy, and we soon will need your help to translate our product!

• The smart contract team is working on several chialisp designs, which can be a pretty prolonged process as it requires not only security audit but implementation and integration with wallet partners. One of the most immediate improvement to the Hashgreen DEX is to use an alternate version of offers to allow partial filling of offers.

• The next critical piece for the on-chain economy and DeFi will be Automated Market Maker (AMM)! AMM implementation on the Chia Blockchain will require some bells and whistles though, and we are working very hard to propose a first draft. This set of chialisp implementation will not only be secure and fair from a user's perspectively, eliminating potential extractable values. All of these are still in development, but we want to stay tuned for more exciting updates!
