DEX Updates

The DEX now has support for tokens running API 1.5, which informs the DEX of available features for the token, allowing the wallet to be generated programmatically from the token config file.

Programatic wallet supports any Honeycomb token, custom wallets no longer required


New IPFS Drive Powered by SPK Network

Introducing the Virtual File System

A massive improvement has been made to the way users store files on IPFS. The vision of @theycallmedan and @starkerz for a decentralized competitor to cloud storage providers is closer than ever:

  • Now a contract is auto opened for the user, so they can just drag and drop files then sign and upload them.
  • By powering up BROCA, a renewable resource credit is generated that will cover the storage costs in the future, if users wish to keep files pinned beyond the 30 day free contract.
  • Files are pinned on IPFS and stored by SPK Network operators.

Drag and Drop Files

  • IPFS Drive integration with SPK Network pinning service sponsored contracts (60 MB)
  • Decentralized publishing on Hive with decentralized storage on IPFS

New Wallet

The wallet has gotten a major overhaul, several new functions have been added via 1.5 to the SPK TEST NET wallet, now fully supporting BROCA for file storage, SPK for governance, and LARYNX for services. There is also now a convenient TEST NET switch to toggle between the wallets, and the HIVE wallet got several new features to bring it more in line with other modern wallets.

New Informational Pages

To foster deeper understanding we've created informational pages that present straightforward explanations for key concepts of DLUX systems. These pages offer an approachable entry point for users wanting to build dApps, run nodes, launch new networks, or pin files, and will evolve over time as a valuable resource to get started quickly with the DLUX ecosystem.


Road Map

Features in development include:

  1. Further integration of Honeycomb with SPK Network
    • New Honeycomb token config file storage on IPFS
    • Better automation of new token initialization
  2. Expanded Publishing with hosting on SPK Network
    • A more streamlined dApp Store experience
    • Deeper SPK Network integration
    • Robust support for any type of dApp
  3. Creator Tools for building on DLUX
    • Better wallet integration SDK for developing new experiences
