Dear Community! 

We hope everyone had a good break and is already settled back in the work mode. We certainly all have and are ready to climb new mountains this year.

Login system
One big feature which is nearing its completion is the Login system. Currently we are working on adding multi-account functionality so you can add different accounts and tie them with different wallets. This is an important feature and we have to make sure it is well done and secure. Among other security measures we are also creating brute force protection and local password encryption. We will have the Login functionality QA'd and tested by a few Komodo team members to ensure it is thoroughly checked before we release it.

Website re-design
We are also working on website re-design, as our current website does not communicate well what we are trying to achieve. It will include information for individuals, businesses and developers. We will create integration tutorials for developers and will give examples of business use cases that businesses can implement.

Time Lock transactions
We will be modifying wallet design to take into account that some funds can be time locked.


Following are the features we want to work on in this sprint, but it depends how the above goes.
Localization
As per your requests we will be adding support for different languages.

App support and maintenance
There are various repeating errors haunting the dApp, which we will address as soon as we have capacity for it. If you experience an error, please have a look in github if it is already tracked and if not, please report it.

For anyone running a Tokel full node, please update as soon as you can. We have incorporated many changes to the Tokel daemon code, including a planned hard fork on roughly the 24th of February (block 286359). You must update to the latest code in the tokel branch to ensure you will not be hard forked off the network. If you do not update shortly, you may find your node is down, simply update and restart.

You can find the correct repository and branch below:
https://github.com/TokelPlatform/komodo/tree/tokel

If you are only using the Tokel dApp, then you don't need to do anything! If you are experiencing problems with your tokens not showing, you will need to join the discord and download the files linked there:
https://discord.com/channels/774497890025472010/875587529057906708/933635547921010718

During this time, we have asked dex-trade to halt deposits/withdrawals until most nodes have updated and the network is running smoothly. There are no problems using AtomicDEX during this time.

You can expect that mining pools will also be updating shortly and may go down for a short period of time to do so.

We thank you for your patience and cooperation as we continue to make core blockchain improvements and fixes.

As many of you know we have conducted our first community testing session prior to releasing Token Creation Tool at the end of 2021! :UFO:

We will continue to put out security patch releases as soon as we are aware of any issues that need to be addressed. This particular issue was of low severity, but we stand by making sure the community is safe and protected, hence the need to make it a mandatory update. We appreciate the community members that are assisting us with all development related issues.

In progress regardless of sprint plans:
Since our team has expanded now we have more people, more heads and we can do more cool things. We are working on Token Creation page parallel to bug fixes, improvements and other features. You can see a little teaser below 😉
