Roman: Hello everyone, and welcome to the News Digest. We are expected to share with you the latest developments news and events that have taken place with our team and project over the past week.
As a short reminder: you can ask your question in several ways by raising your hand in the Q&A sections in the voice chat, writing your questions in the Telegram chat or submitting it through the Google form. The recording will be available as usual in several hours after the end of the news episode. So let's get started.

Roman: [00:00:31] And let's get started. First of all, I'm glad that we're conducting our episode in a more common way. But anyway, as we promised to show you, our specialists, Ivan, who is specialist in the VRF, and he couldn't join us today and the previous stages. But anyway, as soon as the opportunity arise, he will tell you about his achievements and developments. But anyway, Ivan is not presenting on our news today. We have a good news about dVRF and about the article he did that this article was submitted for the review to the conference in Kuwait and it was approved. So Serge please tell us more about it.

Serge: [00:01:38] So. I think it's not submitted but accepted for the participants finalist. We already got two reviews and these reviews are positive, so we are waiting for the third review. But now the status of the article is accepted. We have several recommendations from reviewers how to make the article more clear and easy to read. So we will update it according to these commentaries and the conference will take place in October in Kuwait. So if everything will go fine and they will be.

Serge: [00:02:48] Someone from our team will present the article, but. I don't know for now exactly how it will go, but we'll hope for the better. So. They think they're soulful about this.

Roman: [00:03:09] Yeah, thank you Serge. Let's move to the next news and it's about to update and currently we have a release candidate that is under testing now and Serge tells more about this about future update of PWA and browser extension and Android and iOS app.

Serge: [00:03:34] So so yeah, we we take a little bit more time for testing because bugs that were fixed they, they are.... or introduced in the last update. So we decided not to rush with it. And if someone wants to test this build, you are welcome. Please contact Roman and receive version for extension or Android, or for iOS. It is a bit harder to participate I think. We are not... not ready for protesters yet, but we will think about it. So this build contains fixes mentioned last last week about stability in case of reject and reject all buttons pressed and also biometric authentication issues also resolved. Thank you.

Roman: [00:05:06] Yeah. And how Serge said if you want to take part in this test, please contact me. I will send you the actual build for testing.

Yeah. And let's move. To the bridge, I think. And here we have some information to share about this.

Serge: [00:05:33] And so unfortunately, we don't have working with Bridge as we expected and hoped last week. And one one of the reasons behind this is an update from Web3 library that was very large. That introduced a lot of changes in the Web3 library behavior. It was from version one to version four. These versions were in parallel for several years and we not ready for release like several days ago. So this release broke Bridge functionality with Metamask Chrome browser extension. But as it is one of the most popular browser extension wallets, we need to fix this and update our code to support latest web three in version.

Roman: [00:07:00] Yeah. Thank you Serge much for the explanation and hope we will. Yeah.

Serge: [00:07:06] So I think it is worth to add that the free library is used to interact with Ethereum blockchains so it is needed for a part of space bridge that works with. Okay. That's all.

Roman: [00:07:24] Yeah. Thank you. So hope soon we will share with you great news and I guess that we maybe will have some special guests next week. So let's see. We will announce it a bit later. And thank you for participation. Thank you Serge for the explanations and have a great weekends. Bye bye.

Serge: [00:07:49] Bye bye.
