Hey guys

[olive zodiac]

Hello!

[left idol]

So Gavin and Brent are both out today

[orchid fable]

Hey guys

[left idol]

I think @drowsy quail may be able to join and share some updates from the Heliax side

[drowsy quail]

👋 Hello!

Ah fantastic, thank you for making this @left idol, I thought maybe I was supposed to and was desperately trying to figure out how 😓

Big kudos to the frontend engineers at Heliax (particularly Mateusz) who just pushed a big update to Namadillo that fixes a bunch of bugs (like USDC not showing up sometimes) and shows shielded set rewards, which are now active!

Have folks had a chance to check that out yet?

[fringe tundra]

USDC issue is fixed

[halcyon wolf]

Talking about the active rewards, if newcomers have questions do not hesitate to share this page:
https://namada.community/phase-4

[fringe tundra]

Wow, bookmarked !

[left idol]

oh this is perfect

nice work

[drowsy quail]

Other stuff in the pipeline from the Heliax side:

• Big Namada software update with minor changes to enable IBC Eureka (Ethereum assets!), lots of bugfixes, and more (the engineers are working on a final list)
• SDK support for frontends to easily charge small fees (https://forum.namada.net/t/proposal-for-a-volume-proportional-fee-sharing-system/1783/25?u=cwgoes)
• Final tweaks/benchmarking/testing for the TEE-enabled shielded state sync (hopefully this will speed up shielded sync in Namadillo a bunch)

[halcyon wolf]

Wow awesome updates ! 🔥

Excited about having Ethereum assets in the MASP

[drowsy quail]

(Brent cannot join today as he's on a podcast! but he probably knows about even more stuff going on)

[left idol]

Looking forward to faster shielded sync lol

[halcyon wolf]

Do you have the podcast link?
Curious to ear it after this bonfire if it's recorded.

Hey @drowsy quail, are there any updates on the 'Fast Shielded Microgrants' program? I want to know if the proposals are still under review or have been rejected

[drowsy quail]

yes! the $20k bounty for a Shielded USD Payments Mobile App is active - https://forum.namada.net/t/20k-total-bounty-shielded-usd-payments-mobile-app/1788 - I have not received any submissions for this bounty yet, but I think some folks are hard at work!

++ thank you for your lovely response here - https://forum.namada.net/t/fast-shielded-microgrants-introduction-call-for-proposals/1675/37?u=cwgoes - I haven't had a chance to follow up on this yet but plan to soon (also waiting a bit to see how the first microgrant goes / see if the structure works well)

can't wait to see what comes out of this

[orchid fable]

ah got it, thanks !

[viral helm]

Will Namada users will be recognized at Anoma as well?

[fervent ocean]

this is great.

[halcyon wolf]

If anyone has a mobile app ready for testing, please share it in this forum post:
https://forum.namada.net/t/testing-namada-mobile-wallets/1799
We are currently testing the Tnso app @wet prawn @fathom ore

[drowsy quail]

what kind of recognition are you thinking about / looking for?

on an unrelated note, I keep checking https://metrics.namada.net/ today to see what impact SSR is having...

lots of USDC+OSMO inflows

[fervent ocean]

some of us are wondering about the disparity between for instance tia vs osmo. for some reason osmo gives higher rewards while tia has less shielded in $-value atm.

[viral helm]

I cannot 'farm' like Kaito Yapper because I don't have time or I don't like doing social tasks.. I use Namada for my privacy and will Namada users will get airdrop or some reward from Anoma... My asset are shielded and staked

[fervent ocean]

reasonable question imo

[runic anvil]

🛡️

[drowsy quail]

for sure. this is not the right time or place to announce specific programs but we are definitely thinking about this

[runic anvil]

TEE-enabled shielded state sync sounds exciting, curious on the benchmarks 👀

[drowsy quail]

actually a network of TEEs

more 🍵 for everyone

in my view shielded state sync should be ~ instant. less than a second. anything else is unacceptable from a product UX perspective

[runic anvil]

Think being able to vote on mobile is great, love the app so far!

[fervent ocean]

is that app mainnet or housefire?

[halcyon wolf]

Testing is still on my to-do list, however I think you can edit the network parameters to use any network.
@runic anvil or @wet prawn @fathom ore should be able to confirm

[runic anvil]

I was on main!

[wet prawn]

Android app runs on mainnet
iOS on housefire

[halcyon wolf]

Is it possible to edit the network?

I can see there is a network tab

[wet prawn]

nope, hardcoded at the current app versions
but I think we'll add advanced settings to edit it later

network button only displays values

[halcyon wolf]

Ok thanks for your feedback 👍

[fervent ocean]

will it be opensourced at some point? I'm very positive towards the app but hesitate to use anything non-os.

[halcyon wolf]

I can understand that.
FYI it seems possible to test on a android emulator:
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator

[wet prawn]

it's reasonable
I believe we opensource it in the future at some point

also not bad tool for testing:
https://www.browserstack.com

[halcyon wolf]

@drowsy quail In the last Validator Circle, we heard about a future block time change (probably reducing it to around 1 second).
Is this something that will happen soon?
What could be the potential impacts, both positive and negative?

[drowsy quail]

oooh interesting! I wasn't part of that so I'm not up to date, but sounds like a great topic to discuss on the forums

I do think user-facing latency is very important to optimize (i.e. reduce)

but there could be tradeoffs involved, important to discuss

I gotta run folks! lovely to see y'all here, let's see how the first few weeks of SSR go!

[halcyon wolf]

That was a great Bonfire 🙂
Loved the discussion we had! ❤️‍🔥
See you, and have a good one! 👋

[warm stump]

Hey, I'm here for a couple min if anyone has questions for me. Sry, I was on the Union podcast just now!
