  • Full support for DID 2.0.
  • New on boarding: when creating a new identity or importing one: automatic creation and publication the DID on the new DID 2.0 chain in less than 15 seconds, automatic configuration of hive storage, creation of a default wallet with the same mnemonic as the DID. Full Elastos identity ready in 30 seconds.
  • Added missing voting features such as registering a DPoS supernode, registering as a council member, managing CR proposals (for council members), etc.
  • Support for the connectivity SDK and the "Wallet Connect" open standard to be able to do ethereum, did, hive operations from web apps. Connectivity SDKs upgraded to support DID 2.0.
