Hey everyone!

Welcome to weekly update 187. This week we will check the Raiden development team’s progress towards the Coruscant milestone. There is also a very interesting new feature in the Light Client and development progress in smart contract repository. Let’s dig in!

​

Development progress

The Raiden Client is getting very close to being fully ready for the Coruscant release. Two release candidates were introduced in the last week and there are no reported bugs. The Raiden team is currently performing mainnet testing and once everything has been thoroughly, we can expect that they’ll move towards making a release.

In the Raiden Light Client we also saw a new release candidate since the last weekly update. Alongside some fixes and improvements, the Raiden team also added the quick pay feature. Quick pay feature is very similar to traditional “pay and go” feature you can find in different financial apps. It allows users to create links which include all the required information to perform a payment.

The team started looking at the details for deploying on Arbitrum by testing the first basic smart contracts.

Conclusion

As we can see the Raiden team is pushing development in different directions at the moment. The Raiden client is preparing for a major new release, the Light Client additionally is working on new user-facing features and they are also preparing for releasing Raiden on Arbitrum. Thank you for supporting the weekly updates.

Cheers!
