Introduction / Changes

This release gets a version increment because it introduces 2 new key features:

  • Multi-network support in the wallet: HECO, BSC, Fusion Network, Ethereum, Arbitrum One, Polygon are now available in Elastos Essentials. Import one wallet mnemonic, and you're set to use all those networks.
  • Built-in web DApp browser. No, it's not the come back of elastOS with capsules. Web dApps are not as well integrated as previous elastOS capsules, they run in a web browser. But still, dApp browsers are trending and quite useful. Now web dApps can run inside Essentials and use the standard web3 library for ethereum-compatible operations on all chains. Besides this, web dApps that integrate the Elastos Connectivity SDK can also, similarly to when using the web3 library, execute Elastos-specific transactions: get DID credentials, import a DID, send a ELA payment, etc, with a smooth integration with Essentials.

What's next?

  • Integration of easy "earning" (defi, staking) and "swapping" (tokens swap, cross chain bridging) in the wallet
  • Continuous wallet improvements (received payments notifications, BTC and other networks support, import from private key, asset overview screen, etc)
  • Improved dapp browser (favorites, network and wallet switch while browsing, share, copy url, etc)
  • Improved voting features and capabilities from inside Essentials
  • Documentation (connectivity. SDK + Essentials gitbooks), as part of the all teams effort to finally get a useful Elastos documentation
  • Continuous support for third party projects such as Feeds, Profile, Glide, Elabox, Creda etc
