Waellet development update

Its been a while since we posted about waellet. Here’s what’s been going on lately development-wise from our side:

Waellet now injects Aepp object into the current visited webpage DOM. This allows the developers of the webpage /being a decentralized application or just a website that wants to interact with aeternity network/ to request connection to user wallet and ask for authorization.

Request for connection is called via theconnect()method available from the Aepp object:

Aepp
    .request
    .connect()
    .then(res => console.log(res))

After the connection was established successfully the developer is able to invoke request for signing a transaction from the user like so:

Aepp
    .request
    .sign({
        recipientId: "ak_2DDLbYBhHcuAzNg5Un853NRbUr8JVjZeMc6mTUpwmiVzA4ic6X",
        amount: 0.01
    })
    .then(res => console.log(res))

The flow looks like this:

Besides this we’ve been working on fixing quite a lot of UI bugs and problems – some of which has been reported by you, others found by us.

The UI for the tipping functionality which waellet will offer is ready. The smart contracts are also ready for deployment on aeternity testnet and we will be focusing on introducing this feature for beta testing in our next releases.
