Testnet Release v0.2 - mighty midichlorian

✈️ Welcome to the first Alderaan-compatible Light Client SDK and dApp Release

INFO: The Light Client SDK and dApp are work in progress, are not production ready and currently can only be used on the Ethereum Testnets.

This is the first release compatible with the Raiden Alderaan smart contracts (0.33.3).

Compatibility

Compatibility has been tested with

• The Raiden client v0.200.0-rc2 - Narcoleptic Neo
• The Raiden Alderaan smart contracts (0.33.3) deployed on Goerli, Rinkeby and Ropsten
• The web3 provider MetaMask, imToken and Status

What's new

A lot has changed since Red Eyes, both on Raiden python client, Raiden Protocol and on the Light Client, but a general overview of the changes are:

• Raiden Alderaan pre-release compatibility
• Path Finding Service (PFS) integration
  • You may be required and walked through depositing Service Tokens [SVT] (testnet version of mainnet's RDN) to a User Deposit Contract, sign special messages to pay PFS off-chain and request routes from you to the transfer's recipient through Raiden Network
  • You'll be able to confirm these fee's payments beforehand
• Mediation fees support
  • PFS will inform about estimated mediation fees
  • You'll be able to view possible routes, their fees and confirm it before performing a transfer
• Matrix Transport improvements in reliability, stability and performance.
• Blockchain monitoring performance improvements.
