Raiden Pulse #15

Last week the Raiden team released the latest edition of the Raiden Pulse. Raiden Pulse #15 covers events and general updates related to the Raiden project from the past 3 months.

Development updates include work on the Bespin release for the Raiden client and progress towards the first mainnet release for the Raiden light client. As far as events go, the Raiden Pulse mentions Dominik’s presentation at the Hello Digital Money event and the currently ongoing Encode University hackathon.

If you weren’t following the Raiden project lately the Raiden Pulse should get you up to speed in 5 minutes so go check it out.

Development progress

The Raiden development team continues their efforts towards reaching the short term development goals - Bespin release and first Raiden light client mainnet release.

All the features for the Bespin release are ready and the only task left to be completed is to ensure stability of the Matrix transport layer. Following the Raiden GitHub we can see the Raiden development team is getting some help by the Element team. The Element team are creators and maintainers of the Matrix protocol.

The Raiden light client team dedicated their week to testing the latest testnet release. It was very positive to see that the Chris release was able to consistently pass all the Scenario player tests.

Conclusion

This is all for this week. Both the Raiden client and the Raiden light client are looking great and hopefully we should see the next releases in the near future. For anything else, you can find us in the comment section or join our biggest Telegram community and we can chat there.

Cheers!
