“Crossing the digital divide with ease,” BlockDAG’s 101st developer release brings some handy updates. The team worked hard on the X1 Miner app, tackling everything from resolving pesky JSON file issues to introducing deep linking within the referral module. They’ve even made the password reset process smoother and more secure.
At the same time, they’ve optimised the <a href="https://blockdag.network/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BlockDAG</a>&nbsp;Explorer for faster data access and clearer UTXO visibility. To top it off, the upcoming Devnet launch offers users an early chance to explore and test the network’s core features. These updates collectively showcase BlockDAG’s commitment to enhancing user experience and system performance, setting the stage for a more seamless and efficient blockchain experience.
<h2 id="strong-x1-app-advancements-strong">X1 App Advancements</h2>
The recent 101 dev release highlights the improvements in the X1 app. The team has been facing challenges with JSON file accessibility on the BlockDAG website, but these issues have been resolved, enhancing site functionality and user experience.
Deep linking in the referral module simplifies rewards. Users sharing a referral link sends new users directly to the X1 app’s download page. The app automatically applies the referral code during sign-up, ensuring rewards are given to both the referrer and the referred. Existing users are taken straight to their referral status, while web users are directed to a landing page and prompted to download the app if needed.
<h2 id="strong-password-functionality-enhancement-strong">Password Functionality Enhancement</h2>
Previously, BlockDAG found some hiccups in the “Forgot Password” process of the X1 Miner App. Users were having a tough time with a scattered password reset experience, accessible from various parts of the app. To tackle this, BlockDAG has designed a new screen that streamlines the entire process, making it consistent and user-friendly across the platform.
The design for this unified screen is all set, and the team is now busy developing it. They’re putting it through thorough tests to ensure everything works smoothly and securely. Once it passes these tests, external stakeholders will review it and give their approval. This update is about making password reset easy and boosting security, ensuring a better experience for everyone using the app.
<h2 id="strong-optimising-blockdag-explorer-for-faster-data-access-strong">Optimising BlockDAG Explorer for Faster Data Access</h2>
Shifting from the X1 Miner app, BlockDAG is now enhancing the BlockDAG Explorer to keep it fast and reliable. The team faced various issues, including delays fetching UTXO transaction data during peak times, which could slow down user page loads. They also noticed that some API endpoints, especially those providing block details, were slow under heavy traffic, potentially impacting user experience when it mattered most.
To tackle these problems, the QA team actively collaborates with developers to make several improvements. They’re optimising database queries and enhancing cache management to speed things up. Additionally, they’re upgrading the overall architecture to handle large volumes of data more efficiently.
<h2 id="strong-simplifying-utxo-data-visibility-for-transactions-strong">Simplifying UTXO Data Visibility for Transactions</h2>
Another development in <a href="https://blockdag.network/dev-releases/dev-release-101" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Dev Release 101</a>&nbsp;focuses on improving the UTXO Dashboard in the BlockDAG Explorer. The team is tackling one of the toughest challenges: clearly showing data on this dashboard.
Unlike the simpler Ethereum model, where transactions usually involve just one input and one output, the UTXO model used by Bitcoin and BlockDAG can have multiple inputs and outputs in a single transaction. This happens because UTXO systems use existing outputs as inputs to create new ones, leading to more complex transactions.
For instance, if a user has several small unspent outputs (like “coins”) from previous transactions, these are combined as multiple inputs to send a larger amount. If the inputs add up to more than what’s being sent, a “change” output returns the difference to the sender, adding another layer to the transaction.
The UTXO model allows batch transactions, where multiple recipients can be included in a single transaction, saving on fees and improving efficiency. The team is working hard to make this complex data easy to understand on the dashboard so users can easily manage and track their transactions.
<h2 id="strong-blockdag-devnet-early-access-and-testing-strong">BlockDAG Devnet: Early Access and Testing</h2>
BlockDAG is about to launch its Devnet, allowing the community to explore its core features firsthand. Users will soon be able to test transactions, deploy smart contracts, and interact with the blockchain within a secure, controlled environment.
This Devnet represents an important step in advancing BlockDAG toward wider adoption. It creates a practical space for developers and enthusiasts to engage directly with the technology. This environment will allow participants to identify potential issues, experiment with various functionalities, and contribute to the network’s development before its full-scale release.
<h2 id="strong-to-wrap-up-strong">To Wrap Up!</h2>
As BlockDAG rolls out its 101st dev release, the platform takes another step forward with key updates that enhance functionality and user experience. With improvements to the X1 app, a faster BlockDAG Explorer, clearer UTXO data, and the upcoming Devnet launch, this release highlights BlockDAG’s commitment to continuous progress.
As the project enters presale batch 22 with a price of $0.0178, these updates collectively set the stage for a more efficient and streamlined blockchain experience, hinting at an optimistic future for the project.
