Here’s a detailed overview of the tasks accomplished:</p><ul><li>We refactored the majority of our components to utilize Tailwind CSS, replacing Styled Components.</li><li>Resolved an issue where users could become locked out during the onboarding phase.</li><li>Corrected the redirection after completing wallet import during onboarding.</li><li>Enabled the persistence of additional fields in profile settings.</li><li>Fixed an issue where deleting all wallets and restarting the onboarding process could skip the password setup, resulting in users being locked out.</li><li>Made improvements to the Vitest setup for the testing suite.</li><li>Implemented logic to persist primary wallet changes using the SDK.</li><li>Addressed state retention issues when the extension failed to remember the chosen network by the user.</li><li>Made various fixes to streamline the onboarding flow.</li><li>Migrated persistence logic to the background for improved efficiency.</li><li>Fixed scrollable logout page and hid navbar on Ledger pages for a cleaner interface.</li><li>Improved handling of various Ledger scenarios and enhanced accessibility during Ledger import.</li><li>Implemented numerous small UI fixes across the application to enhance overall usability.</li></ul><p>Looking ahead to next week, our primary focus will be to finalize the Tailwind CSS migration. Additionally, we will focus on further flow improvements for noticed issues through internal testing and work towards a new release of the extension.</p><h2 id="header-1">Mainsail Weekly Progress</h2><p>This week, we released a new version of our testnet, addressing issues highlighted by our testers. The updates in this release include:</p><ul><li>Enforcement of a single username registration per user in the pool.</li><li>Logging of registered validators on the local node during boot (specifically for validator nodes).</li><li>Implementation of a new method called sizeOfIndex in the WalletRepository. This method accurately determines the index size on both WalletRepository and WalletRepositoryClone by computing the size variances between the original and clone repositories. It’s particularly useful in the validator resignation transaction, resolving resignation-related issues.</li></ul><p>We extend our gratitude to all testers for their awesome efforts in testing and reporting.

This change facilitates integration with the ARK Vault. As part of this overhaul, a new package called test-runner has been extracted.</li><li>All packages have been updated to their latest versions. Before the migration to ES Modules (ESM), this task was challenging because some of the latest versions of third-party packages were already in ESM format.</li><li>The transaction poll processor now returns TX indexes as numbers, replacing the previous string format. This alteration is reflected in the transaction-pool-api response.</li><li>Numerous fixes have been implemented in mainsail-api entrypoint, API responses, and configuration generator.</li></ul><p>Looking ahead, we plan to focus on preparing the browser package for mainsail crypto, as it’s essential for ARK Vault integration. Additionally, we’ll continue monitoring the testnet network and addressing any reported issues that arise.</p><h2 id="header-2">Feedback &amp; Feature Requests</h2><p>If you are using our open-source products and would like to provide feedback or request a feature, please feel free to contact us via the contact pages for the specific product you are using or open an issue on GitHub.</p><p>Quick access links to GitHub issues pages:</p><ul><li><a href="https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/mainsail/issues" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mainsail </a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/ArdentHQ/arkconnect-extension/issues" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ARK Connect (Extension) </a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/ArdentHQ/arkconnect-demo/issues" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ARK Connect (Demo) </a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/ArdentHQ/arkscan/issues" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ARK Scan </a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/ArdentHQ/arkvault/issues" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ARK Vault </a></li></ul><h2 id="header-3">Follow on Twitter (X)</h2><p>Follow us on <a href="https://x.com/ArkEcosystem" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">X </a> (Formerly Twitter) and keep checking the blog to stay up-to-date on all of our new releases.
