ARK Scan Weekly Report

This week, we continued working on the Inertia migration and improved the Export feature to support additional data exporting capabilities. Work done included:

• •
  Reworked the Transaction Export feature for compatibility with Mainsail, improved responsiveness, and updated the design for a smoother and more user-friendly experience.
• •
  Refactored the transaction filtering system to use Inertia-driven state management across views. Filter changes now persist during navigation and browser refreshes while avoiding redundant API calls.
• •
  Adjusted wallet table column alignment in Inertia to ensure the “Amount” column displays correctly in the center on medium-sized devices (≥640px and <768px). Fixed the loading state for wider screens (>768px) so that table columns remain hidden until data fully loads, reducing layout shift and improving consistency.
• •
  Expanded testing coverage by introducing new tests for the WalletController. Added browser-level tests for the wallet since the existing suite only covered the Monitor page.
• •
  Removed Exodus from the list of compatible wallets on the wallet page, as it no longer supports ARK.
• •
  Updated default wallet routes to point to Inertia (/addresses/ADDRESS), keeping the Livewire version accessible under /addresses-old/ADDRESS.
• •
  Added a table header to the loading state to preserve a consistent layout and improve clarity while data loads.
• •
  Updated pagination behavior so it only appears when multiple pages are available, matching the behavior of the previous implementation.
• •
  Restored proper padding on the Monitor page for mobile devices, fixing layout issues introduced by prior Wallet page adjustments.
• •
  Enhanced the Export feature by introducing a modal for block exports, enabling users to export blockchain data by specific blocks.
• •
  Added browser-level tests for the Export feature to ensure full end-to-end coverage and prevent regressions.

Next week, we’ll continue progressing with the Inertia migration to make ARK Scan even faster and more responsive while also implementing additional fixes and improvements.

ARK Vault Weekly Report

This week, we focused on Side Panel updates, improving pending transaction handling, and implementing various fixes. Work done included:

• •
  Fixed the addresses side panel so it can now be closed even when all addresses have been removed, improving usability and preventing it from becoming stuck open.
• •
  Enhanced the transaction details side panel by linking it with other panels, fixing issues with opening minimized panels, updating panel management to use ResetWhenUnmounted, and applying several minor UI improvements.
• •
  Improved pending transaction handling by preventing direct removal from the main list. Confirmed transactions are now excluded during merging, and a scheduled job manages cleanup from local storage for better consistency.
• •
  Fixed the transactions table to properly respect the transaction limit properly when displaying unconfirmed transactions, ensuring consistent table behavior.
• •
  Resolved a mobile layout issue where the collapsed sidebar appeared beneath the floating send bar. It now correctly displays above it for proper layering and accessibility.
• •
  Added tests to expand coverage for migration-related code, improving reliability and reducing the risk of future regressions.
• •
  Fixed the exchange flow by updating the sign transaction modal to ensure it displays correctly and functions as intended.
• •
  Corrected transactions table overflow and skeleton display for the 1024–1280px breakpoint when multiple addresses are selected, ensuring layout consistency and smoother visual performance.

Next week we’ll continue working on general fixes, testing all new features, and implementing additional UI updates.

Mainsail Weekly Report

This week, we have worked on improving processing performance, expanding statistics support, and implementing other general enhancements. The work completed included:

• •
  Dropped unused symbol support in EventEmitter; events and event listeners can now only emit and listen to strings.
• •
  Added support for publishing from local files in config:publish:custom, which will be used in e2e tests.
• •
  Bound all routes and controllers as singletons in the P2P server, enabling easier controller logic and per-endpoint analysis.
• •
  Improved prevote and precommit processing performance by validating signatures only once, even if broadcast from multiple peers; if a signature is invalid, all peers broadcasting the message are banned.
• •
  Added P2P statistics for pings (other nodes calling our node endpoints), including endpoint success rate and response time metrics.
• •
  Updated EVM dependencies to the latest stable releases.
• •
  Replaced deprecated actions-rs/toolchain with dtolnay/rusttoolchain in GitHub workflows.

Next week, we’ll continue with performance analysis and P2P improvements. We will also perform another Public Testnet reset with the latest updates and enhance the CI Testnet sync workflow.
