One Click to issue your own tokens!
An exciting contribution from the Nervos developer community
Sparkling
Recently, a developer in the Nervos community created a small web tool that allows anyone to issue sUDT tokens on Nervos with one click (without writing code!).
To use it you’ll simply need to connect a Keypering wallet (download here!) with more than 142 CKB in it.
After filling in the issuance quantity and submitting the token information, your own sUDT tokens will be created on Nervos! Of course, this is still a small project under development but you are welcome to try it out!
The Aggron testnet is waiting for you!
Lay2 and friends have created a bounty to further pw-core development
Most Nervos fans already know that pw-core is a major part of the Nervos ecosystem. It allows developers to integrate CKB directly into existing public chain wallets such as MetaMask, and even promises to integrate additional widely deployed cryptography that will make it even easier for users to access Nervos.
Currently, Portal Wallet, and GliaDEX have used pw-core for front-end development of CKB dApps. Currently however, pw-core must connect to a different software framework on the back-end, meaning dApp developers need to spend extra time to learn another piece of software.
The Lay2 team came up with an idea: Why not integrate front-end and back-end components in pw-core?
The Lay2 team has proposed two back-end components, namely RawProvider and IndexerCollector, which will allow pw-core to complete transaction signing and CKB cell indexing respectively. The Lay2 team has provided a reward of 50,000 CKB, and an additional 50,000 CKB has been added for a total bounty of 100,000 CKB! Check out the Nervos Talk post for more information.
Recently the Nervos Foundation announced a $5m program for building DeFi applications on Nervos, if you are interested, you can begin the application process by filling out the form here!
RFC
Nervos applies the RFC (Request for Comments) process for implementing every building block of the protocol. There were 27 Previous RFCs, which can be found here.
Recently multiple updates to RFCs have been proposed for inclusion in a hard fork upgrade of the network later this year, for more information, check out the PRs on the Nervos RFCs Github here.
If you are curious about the design decisions of aspects of CKB or anything built on it, please post your questions in this repository.
