Hey everyone!

Welcome to weekly update 178. This week we’ll check the latest Raiden Pulse which came out last week and we’ll also update you on the latest development progress. Let’s dig in!

​

Raiden Pulse #17

Raiden Pulse #17 covers the most interesting Raiden related updates from April, May and June. Regular followers of the Raiden project should be familiar with most of the information shared in the blog post, however there are a couple of interesting updates which were not publicly available before.

In terms of development progress, Bespin and Ashvini releases are obviously the highlights of the last three months. The Ashvini Raiden Light Client release is available here while if you are interested in running your own Raiden node you should start here. The blogpost mentions that the upcoming minor Raiden Client release will include the WebRTC while for the cooperative settlement feature we will have to wait for the Coruscant major release as it will require an upgrade of the smart contracts. Both of these features are already well in the development phase.

Biggest addition to the Raiden team since the last Raiden Pulse is Dina. Dina is the new Comms and Marketing manager and is completely focused on Raiden.

Raiden Trust accepted a new grantee. Raiden Rust is a Raiden client implemented in the Rust programming language and what is interesting is that this project is maintained by an ex Raiden developer Rakan.

Finally, make sure to keep your eyes open for Raiden’s participation at ETHCC this year. They are preparing a very interesting Raiden Light Client workshop and there will be a Raiden booth at the event.

Development progress

Last week the development team dedicated most of their time working towards the Coruscant milestone. Great news is that the Coruscant milestone will allow for removing limits imposed in Alderaan and Bespin regarding deposit limits and registering additional token networks. Implementation details were not yet decided completely (eg. who will have power to remove limits), but we should know more soon.

Other development progress includes minor improvements to the Raiden client and the Raiden light client.

Conclusion

This is all for this week. The Raiden team is slowly moving towards next goals as both the Ashvini and Bespin release proved to be stable. Stay tuned for more interesting updates as development moves towards Coruscant - the next major release.

​

Cheers!
