The Latest Updates on Cardano’s Lace Wallet and More

Input Output Global (IOG) recently released its weekly development update, revealing the latest improvements to Cardano’s light wallet, Lace.

The Lace Wallet Facelift

The new version, Lace version 1.7, introduces exciting features such as an update to multi-staking capabilities and tools to reduce drift, as well as better insights on staking pool retirement and saturation. This demonstrates the team’s commitment to making regular upgrades to the Lace wallet since its launch.

Following its debut, the Web3.0 wallet underwent a series of fixes, including “semi-automatic collateral setup for CIP-30, refactoring complex areas of code, increasing end-to-end test automation coverage, and improvements to network switching within the wallet’s UI. Load tests on the backend using HD wallets were also conducted to enhance the user experience.

About a month later, another round of upgrades focused on bug fixing, polishing, and improvements on the serialization library in the cardano-js-sdk. The integration of the Lace platform with ledger devices and decentralized applications (DApps) was also addressed.

More Upgrades on Cardano

Aside from Lace Wallet, other updates in the weekly development report include improvements in the performance of the FindTxsFor operation and the chain indexer by the Marlowe team. The team has also tested the vesting DApp prototype and published the token plan README, aiming to make the protocol more functional.

Additionally, the team behind Hydra, Cardano’s flagship scaling solution, released its October report and delivered a presentation and a workshop at the Cardano Summit. The Cardano protocol in general recorded a total of 74.8 million transactions over the past week, solidifying its position as one of the most robust blockchain networks.
