Behind the Code: Weekly Elastos Technical Update

Welcome to this week’s Behind the Code and understand the engineering beating heart of the Elastos network. From AI-integrated infrastructure to decentralized stablecoin protocols and walletless UX, every commit this week pushed us closer to a SmartWeb run by users, not intermediaries.

This Week’s Major Developments

  • BeL2-NBW conducted deep dives into Issuer decentralization and BTCD protocol edge cases.
  • Elacity Labs brought walletless smart account flows to life, preparing for sovereign identity and embedded IPFS storage in the Puter OS.
  • Infinity Team launched the world’s first full MCP server, giving AI agents like ChatGPT the ability to interact with the Elastos blockchain natively — from identity to DeFi. Developed Elastos BPoS node manager.

Below is the full breakdown.

 

BeL2-NBW Team

Mainchain Security & Maintenance

  • Zero-Penalty Update: Testnet verification completed for ELA node v0.9.9.2, final builds and upgrade scripts compiled across all platforms.

  • Node Sync Stability: Resolved sync issues between ESC Mainnet APIs and the ELA explorer; supported Council and BPoS node uptime and responsiveness.

Stablecoin Protocol (BTCD)

  • Protocol Testing: End-to-end minting flows verified on ESC, including BTC lock, BTCD issuance, and repayment logic.
  • Issuer Decentralization: Explored design for malicious Issuer behavior mitigation and penalty frameworks. Risk modeling and failover scenarios drafted.
  • Frontend Enhancements: Display issues fixed across guide modules, chain selector logic, staking amount previews, and cross-platform wallet compatibility verified.

Partner-chain:

  • BPoS Node testing: Tested block production with node dropouts; introduced fallback producer messaging and SPV sync fixes.
  • Consensus Hardening: Analyzed edge cases where block production halts on group switch; implemented and verified safeguards using a 36-node testbed.

Monitoring, Services & Ops

  • Arbiter & Issuer Monitoring: Integrated monitoring for 10 EF-run arbitrators and issuer endpoints in production.
  • Proof Submission Refactor: Rewrote automation logic, raising submission success rates.
  • Docker Optimization: Improved build times and deployment speeds for signer services.

Elacity Labs WCI

Puter OS Foundation (Decentralized Compute)

  • OS-Level Storage: 80% of file system abstraction modules completed; prepped for local IPFS integration in ~2 weeks.
  • Identity Layers: Identity and storage abstraction now route through local smart accounts, paving the way for Web3-native operating environments.

Smart Account Infrastructure

  • Universal Executor: Abstracted transaction orchestration finalized. Tested batch flows across subscriptions, purchases, and withdrawals — all without user wallet steps.

  • Backend Foundation:

    • Modularized Docker config and scaffolding
    • Ownership and EOA/SA logic integrated
    • Full CI/CD deployment active to staging

  • Frontend Refactor (In QA):

    • Removed wallet login friction
    • Enabled Web2 identity onboarding
    • Unified UI across offers, minting, and pricing flows

Result: Elacity now enables frictionless, walletless transactions through sovereign accounts — no Chrome extension, no key management. Full onchain power, zero Web3 headaches.

 

Infinity Team

MCP Server — AI x Blockchain Breakthrough

Elastos now runs the first fully-integrated Model Context Protocol (MCP) server — enabling AI agents to act natively across:

141 AI-accessible Blockchain Operations:
  • ELA Mainchain (69 ops): Transactions, governance, network stats, balance tracking
  • ESC Smart Contracts (38 ops): Contract deployment, gas estimates, DeFi analytics
  • Decentralized Identity (11 ops): DID issuance, auth flows, credential verification
  • Hive Storage (12 ops): NFT metadata, NoSQL DBs, large file support
  • Cross-Chain Transfers (11 ops): Asset bridging between ESC/Mainchain
Architecture Excellence
  • Fully TypeScript, 15k+ lines
  • 500+ interface definitions, 400+ test cases
  • Natural language command layer for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more

Use Cases Enabled
  • AI-native DeFi bots, identity verification tools, and content automation
  • Developers soon will be able to launch Elastos dApps through AI interfaces alone — little code required

Impact: Elastos becomes the first blockchain designed for the AI-native era — fully composable by both humans and machines.

Elastos BPoS Node Manager

  • 1-Click Deployment tested and fully functional.
  • Node management services under testing phase.
  • Full release is slated for later this week.

What’s Next

BeL2-NBW

  • Watch metrics and prepare mainchain upgrade
  • Continue BTCD security checks and ESC contract tests
  • Finalize PGP consensus enhancements and production rollout

Elacity Labs WCI

  • Merge Web2 front end work to production
  • Begin IPFS installation phase for Puter OS
  • Continue QA on walletless flows and smart account UX

Infinity Team

  • Continue MCP integrations
  • Publish agent SDKs and demo workflows
  • Prepare AI-focused hackathon and marketing assets
  • Launch Elastos BPoS Node manager

This is what building a SmartWeb looks like: onchain transactions without wallets, sovereign storage without servers, and AI agents that can do everything but think for you.
