Dev Release-227

This release highlights major progress across the BlockDAG Explorer, Blockchain Reward System, and X10 Miner. The focus areas include improving mobile responsiveness for the Awakening Explorer, implementing a scalable reward mechanism for miners, and resolving device synchronization issues within the X1–X10 ecosystem. Collectively, these updates strengthen accessibility, fairness, and stability across the network.

• Explorer: Mobile UI design for the Awakening Explorer was initiated, bringing responsive, accessible, and intuitive experiences to all device sizes.
• Blockchain: Reward distribution logic is integrated to ensure miners are compensated transparently based on their valid share contributions, complete with pool fee handling and wallet integration.
• X10 Miner: Issue identified and under fix for mining session synchronization between the X1 App and the X10 device to prevent stalled or unresponsive mining triggers.

Awakening Mobile View Design

The UI/UX team is currently working on the mobile version of the Awakening Explorer, ensuring full parity with the desktop experience while being optimized for smaller screens. The design approach emphasizes clarity, touch-friendly interaction, and performance optimization.
 

Goals:

• Provide a consistent experience across devices.
• Retain the full functionality of the desktop Explorer in a compact format.
• Optimize navigation, search, and transaction visibility for mobile users.
   

Next Steps:
Finalize responsive layouts, test UI components across major devices, and conduct UX testing before integration into the main Explorer environment.

Reward Mechanism Implementation

The mining pool reward logic is currently under active implementation, with a focus on accuracy, fairness, and scalability. This ensures each miner receives proportional rewards based on their valid shares.

Core Implementations:

• Dynamic Share Validation: Rewards are calculated based on verified shares submitted to the pool.
• Pool Fee Deduction: Automatic deduction of pool fees before distribution to ensure transparent accounting.
• Wallet Integration: Direct connection with the wallet module for on-chain reward disbursement.
• Data Integrity: Reward and contribution data stored and synchronized across pool and blockchain nodes for reliability.
• Comprehensive Logging: Every reward calculation and payout event is logged for auditability and transparency.
   

Impact:
This mechanism enhances trust within the miner community and ensures the network can scale to support thousands of miners without performance degradation.

App-Device Synchronization Fix

An intermittent issue was detected where the X1 app and X10 device occasionally fall out of sync, preventing mining sessions from starting correctly.
 

Issue Summary:

• The device does not always prompt “Start Mining Session.”
• The mining feature remains inactive despite trigger attempts.
   

Planned Fix:

• Review and optimize communication protocols between X1 and X10.
• Add synchronization checks to ensure device readiness before initiating the session.
• Implement retry logic and visual status indicators to guide the user if sync fails.
   

Expected Outcome:
Once fixed, the mining session initiation will be seamless, ensuring continuous operation and eliminating session start failures.

• Continued UX testing for Awakening Mobile Explorer.
• Final validation of miner reward calculations under high-load scenarios.
• Ongoing debugging of device sync between the X1 App and the X10 Miner.

• Finalize and roll out the mobile UI for the Awakening Explorer.
• Complete QA validation for reward distribution and wallet payout logic.
• Deploy the synchronization patch for the X10 Miner after internal testing.

This release demonstrates BlockDAG’s commitment to accessibility, fairness, and reliability. The Awakening Explorer’s mobile version expands reach, the mining reward system promotes transparency, and the X10 sync improvements ensure smooth device performance. Together, these developments move BlockDAG closer to delivering a robust, production-ready decentralized ecosystem that is accessible, equitable, and stable for all participants.
