Konstellation & The DARC Token: Sharing Q4 2020 Product Development Update

Completed Initiatives: Q4 2020

Q4 product development has focused on Testnet Phase 2 validator onboarding and internal testing, which has provided some challenges that the team was able to work through. In addition, DARCwallet feature optimizations and additional token support functions were tested and released via the latest DARCwallet update, which you can access here. For those with DARCwallet already downloaded, you will be prompted to update.

Konstellation Network

1. Focused on internal testing for Testnet Phase 2 as we are onboarding potential validators. Here is the list of issues we faced and fixed.

Random bug that occurred during transaction creation. “Error vote has been” shown in a console.

Validator has been jailed even while remaining online conversely, Validator can be offline all day and still not be jailed. Working through this issue now.

Non-responsiveness of ‘Withdraw all’ button in KNSTL web-wallet. It is designed to withdraw earned rewards from all delegated validators, but it currently requires too much gas.

Front end bugs in web-wallet related to data visualisation.
