Hey everyone!

Welcome to weekly update 160. This update will once again be completely dedicated to development progress towards Bespin release and the first Raiden light client mainnet release. Let’s dig in!

​

Development progress

The Raiden client team continued working on the Matrix transport layer refactoring. As a part of the refactoring it was decided to remove presence tracking from the Raiden client and to use pathfinding services instead. This decoupling will make the Raiden client less dependent on the Matrix transport layer and will greatly simplify the code. If you want to learn more about this topic you can find additional information in this GitHub issue.

The light client got 2 new features last week. Optimization of the initial loading time and flat mediation fee support were both successfully reviewed and merged. In addition, a couple of minor bugs inside the dApp were fixed as well.

Conclusion

This is all for this week. Thank you for your continued support, join the community in the Telegram group and we wish happy international women's day to everyone celebrating.

​

Cheers!
