GRIDNET Token

August 8, 2024

1. Networking Enhancements • QUIC Protocol Integration: We've fully implemented the QUIC protocol, replacing the previous UDT protocol. This provides multiplexed connections over UDP, offering reduced latency and improved congestion control compared to TCP-based protocols. • Improved Transaction Broadcasting: Our overhauled broadcasting mechanism ensures maximum reliability. Transactions are now immediately stored in a local SQL database, and an AI subsystem manages transaction persistence and intelligent rebroadcasting. • Onion Routing Support: Full implementation of Onion Routing, including web-browser endpoint support via web-socket connections. This significantly enhances user privacy and security. 2. Security and Cryptography • Revised Cryptographic Protocols: We've implemented custom protocols based on Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme (ECIES) and introduced a new Diffie-Hellman based session establishment protocol. • PIN Protection: Users can now set a PIN for enhanced security, adding an extra layer of protection beyond existing biometric and password options. • Improved Nonce Management: Our autonomous nonce management system now prevents replay attacks while allowing for rapid transaction sequences. 3. User Interface and Experience • GRIDNET Halo Enhancements: The GRIDNET Halo has been revamped with advanced, reactive shader mechanics. New touch gestures include swipe left for Transaction History, swipe down to lock the app, and swipe up to unlock. • Advanced Rendering Techniques: We've incorporated on-hardware, on-GPU custom rendering of UI elements, working seamlessly with standard Qt controls for fluid, high-performance animations. • Improved Layout and Stability: The app's layout has been optimised for intuitive navigation and efficient use of screen real estate. We've also enhanced support for system buttons on various platforms. • Computer Vision Enhancements: Our QR code recognition system has been optimised to achieve recognition times of less than 10ms under most lighting conditions. 4. New Features and Functionality • Transaction History View: A new view displays all transactions associated with the current active identity, including those not issued from the current device. The history and account balance are automatically refreshed every few seconds. • Sub-Identity Toggling: Users can now toggle between sub-identities, allowing quick switching between unrelated wallet addresses based on a single Master Private Key. • AI Assistant (Hexi) Improvements: Hexi's AI algorithms have been enhanced to provide a more immersive and responsive experience, offering more contextual and helpful responses. • Advanced Local Storage: We've implemented a self-maintained, advanced SQL-based storage subsystem for efficient data management, including comprehensive transaction tracking and state updates. 5. Performance and Stability • Networking Subsystem Overhaul: Our networking subsystem now maintains multiple connections with multiple nodes simultaneously, improving network resilience and transaction propagation speed. • Transaction Monitoring and Management: The app continuously monitors the state of broadcasted transactions, providing real-time updates to the user and intelligently re-broadcasting failed transactions. • Optimisation: We've made extensive improvements to stability and responsiveness across a wide range of devices, optimised memory usage and battery consumption, and implemented crash analytics for quick issue resolution. This major update to the GRIDNEToken mobile app pushes the boundaries of what's possible in a blockchain mobile application. We've delivered a product that sets new standards for security, performance, and user experience. We deeply appreciate your continued support and feedback as we strive to deliver the best possible product to our users.
