If you are a team/person working on NEAR components and you want your progress updates to be included into the weekly update, please send your updates to eng-updates@near.org .
AURORA
EVM
- We published EVM developer documentation updates;
- Improved the Geth compatibility of our Web3 RPC endpoints;
- Improved the CLI tool and client library for interacting with the EVM;
- Designed the initial ERC-20 bridging architecture;
Bridge
- We were solving the proof verification bug, the solution to which was merged and already deployed to the mainnet. This bug caused around 1% of the users to be unable to finalise their transfers. All the transfers were successfully finalised since then.
- We’ve designed the way how to bridge tokens into Aurora.
- We’ve also been working on fixing the problem with Berlin hardfork (which resulted in 1h outage). We’ve merged the PR for optimising Ethereum-side of the bridge (soon to be deployed to the mainnet; the enhancement will reduce bridge maintenance costs). We’ve continued our work on eth-connector and also focused on the Aurora release preparations.
