<p>In May, testing efforts continued, resulting in the identification and resolution of numerous bugs. Additionally, all necessary updates for the BSC Luban upgrade were completed and deployed successfully. This update provides details on the tasks accomplished in May and outlines the upcoming development milestones for June. Furthermore, dedicated monthly reports documenting the progress of xCall Service’s IBC integrations are included and can be accessed further down.</p><h2 id="header-0">xCall Architecture / Product</h2><p>The xCall teams have been focused on ongoing testing and debugging of the BSC and ETH relay and BMV components. They successfully enabled trustless bridging between ETH Sepolia and ICON and updated the relay and BMV to align with the BSC testnet’s Luban update. They began focus testing with ecosystem builders, aiming to identify bugs and implement necessary fixes.
