Quai SDK (Software Development Kit)
The new SDK is raising the bar for developers working on the Quai Network. Here’s why:
- Simplified Migration: Easily migrate existing EVM applications to our Quai Network compatible SDK.
- Built-In Wallet Implementation: Includes a full wallet implementation out-of-the-box, supporting CLI, HD wallets, and key management, simplifying your development process considerably.
- Transaction Submission: Enables the submission of transactions in both Quai and Qi.
- Wallet Address Generation: Facilitates the generation of wallet addresses for Quai Network’s shards, empowering wallet developers.
- Ease of Use: Designed to make developing dApps much easier, with streamlined interactions and support for advanced features like payment codes.
Pelagus Wallet
Our updated Pelagus wallet brings several improvements:
- New SDK Integration: Now fully integrated with the new SDK, offering seamless interactions with the Quai Network.
- Cleaner UI: An improved user interface enhances the user experience, whether you are a developer or a regular consumer.
- Local Node Compatibility: The wallet now works effectively with local nodes, facilitating easier local development and testing.
- Feature Parity: Maintains all the same features as the previous version but is built for future support and upgrades.
- Mainnet Ready: Experience flawless blockchain interactions as you migrate your development to prepare for the upcoming Golden Age Testnet and Mainnet ready.
- HD Wallet Services: Manage multiple addresses from a single seed phrase. Because who has time to remember more than one password?
- Enhanced Security: Safeguard your assets with multiple keys under one mnemonic phrase.
- Improved UX: Enjoy a sleek and intuitive interface that’s easier to navigate than before.
Faucet
The faucet has undergone significant changes to better serve our community:
- Premium Twitter Account Requirement: To use the faucet, users need a premium Twitter account. We are aware of the barriers this may create for some regions and are exploring additional authentication methods, such as Discord.
- Coin Distribution: Users can now request 0.2 Quai tokens every 24 hours to test their dApps.
Public RPC
Our public RPC node offers a robust development environment:
- Single Node Network: It runs on a single node, providing a consistent devnet experience.
- Frequent Updates: Be aware that the node might require occasional restarts as we push updates. We aim to keep you informed about any potential disruptions.
- Temporary Measure: This public RPC will be available until the Golden Age launch, after which it will be replaced to support the new network.
- Easy Testing: Bypass the hassle with our ready-to-use public RPC node. Because who needs more hassle in their life.
- Collaborative Environment: Foster innovation with a consistent, shared testing space. It’s like a co-working space for your code, minus the awkward small talk.
Explorer
The new Explorer is an upgraded version of Block Scout, designed to enhance your navigation and transaction tracking:
- Updated Branding: We’re updating the branding to ensure a fresh and modern look.
- Multi-Shard Support: Initially, it will support shards like Cyprus 1 and 2, with plans to expand.
- Unified Interface: A more integrated interface allows you to search across different shards efficiently, providing a comprehensive view of your transactions and interactions.
