Ren Releases RenBridge 2.1, Focuses on Decentralizing User Interface
The Ren Blockchain project announced the launch of its RenBridge 2.1 on Thursday. The new update introduces some improvements to RenBridge and its codebase. One of the key enhancements introduced by RenBridge 2.1 is the transition to a more decentralized user interface. In the future, the user interface will no longer depend on a centralized system for order storage. This is made possible by Firebase’s removal of “transaction persistence”. Instead of Firebase, RenBridge will now rely directly on RenVM storage. Ren explained: This essentially works by addressing the gateway that generates a nonce. The nonce is calculated from a 24 hour window and the user’s wallet address, so “storage” is achieved by scanning the gateway addresses, one address for one day. In general, this results in a more decentralized dApp, as it does not depend on an external single-entry API like Firebase. In addition to the UI improvement introduced by RenBridge 2.1, the removal of Firebase makes the new codebase easier to fork. As of press time, the team had yet to reveal a set date for the RenBridge 2.1 rollout. However, it is expected to be operational before the end of April. Continue reading on BTC Peers
