Welcome to this week’s Behind the Code, your clear window into the engineering progress powering the Elastos SmartWeb. This week marked a defining moment for the Elastos ecosystem. The BeL2-NBW team completed the PGP chain plan, stabilizing consensus, refining gas fees, and validating cross-chain flows through multi-environment testing. A critical BTCD issue blocking proofs was resolved, restoring operations and strengthening network trust.
CertiK’s audit review reached near completion with precise code refinements, updated permissions, and a new Foundry testing suite to harden every contract. The Essentials Wallet v3.2.9 release was finalized, introducing smoother UX and full PGP chain support. Meanwhile, backend migrations, node monitoring, and explorer upgrades brought sharper performance and leaner infrastructure ahead of PGP mainnet.
Across the SmartWeb, two breakthroughs stood out. BeL2-NBW locked in its upgrade and achieved audit-grade resilience. Elacity Labs reached full decentralization, transforming its licensing, playback, and royalty systems into a self-governing Web3 revenue engine. Every transaction, from rights tokenization to instant settlement, now executes entirely on-chain, removing every centralized barrier. The Elacity LaunchPad also achieved full bonding-curve issuance for decentralized asset creation, with refinements and testing for the best economic model to apply.
Next, Elacity begins its next evolution: migrating transcoding, encryption, and packaging into user-owned clouds powered by DePIN nodes and PuterOS. With two new engineers joining, Elacity is delivering a fully autonomous commerce layer through the architecture of the Elastos World Computer.
The detailed section below covers how this is done.
BeL2-NBW Team — Executive Summary
PGP Chain Upgrade Finalized
- Upgrade Plan Locked: Consensus optimized, gas-fee distribution refined, and ERC-20 ELA deposit/withdrawal flows hardened.
- Dynamic Sensing Fixes: Resolved fork risk during producer switching and stabilized cross-chain coordination between ESC and EID.
- Comprehensive Testing: Private and public testnets verified block production, deposit validation, and rollback safety.
- Deployment Preparedness: New node.sh and automation scripts enable one-click upgrade and rollback for operators.
BTCD Protocol Stability
- Critical Issue Resolved: Fixed a production bug blocking proof-submission orders; restored normal mint-repay cycles and safeguarded user assets.
- Issuer Auto-Signing Enhanced: Added penalties for non-repayment, automated overdue detection, and asset-confiscation logic for risk control.
- Interface Refinements: Order details now show live collateral status, BTC-address explorers, and cleaner progress indicators.
Contract Security & Audit Response
- Certik Follow-Up: Implemented code-flow documentation, re-analyzed permission roles, and optimized PGAPair and PGARouterV2 logic.
- Testing Framework: Built a Foundry-based suite covering order-state transitions and Schnorr-signature stability.
- Result: Contracts now have traceable logic, complete test coverage, and minimized audit findings.
EE Wallet v3.2.9 Ready
- Version Complete: New release adds PGP chain support, app-list cleanup, and UI/UX fixes across iOS and Android.
- Performance Boost: Smaller build size, smoother approve flow, and verified multi-chain operations.
Infrastructure & Monitoring
- API Migration: Retired legacy AWS and Tencent instances, rebuilt clean dependencies, and reduced cost overhead.
- Explorer Upgrade: PGP testnet explorer online with faster indexing and improved query accuracy.
- Node Health: Updated CR monitor scripts and alert thresholds for faster anomaly detection.
→ Impact: A production-ready PGP chain, stronger BTCD resilience, audited contracts, and a stable wallet experience set the stage for Bitcoin-native finance on Elastos.
Elastos World Computer Initiative (WCI) — Elacity Labs Summary
Full On-Chain Decentralization Achieved
Every critical subsystem — copyright indexing, rights tokenization, license retrieval, and royalty distribution — now operates fully on-chain or through distributed protocols.
Elacity’s smart-account dDRM engine synchronizes with 14+ blockchains and stablecoin rails, forming a unified programmable revenue layer.
Lit Protocol Integration (Complete)
- Before: WASM player validated access tokens locally but fetched encrypted licenses from Elacity’s API keystore.
- Now: The same player retrieves decryption keys directly from Lit’s distributed key network, eliminating the API bottleneck.
- Result: Each playback session is self-authenticated, self-decrypting, and entirely non-custodial — a pure cryptographic rights system.
LaunchPad Market Mechanics
- Implemented sell-side bonding-curve logic with refined exponential pricing.
- Added tracker services for live analytics and holder visibility.
- Finalized graduation-threshold simulations and unit tests.
- LaunchPad now handles the entire lifecycle of decentralized asset issuance — creation → pricing → trading → analytics — all on-chain.
From On-Chain Autonomy to Off-Chain Freedom
- Off-chain tasks (transcoding, encryption, IPFS embedding) are being re-delegated to user-owned nodes.
- Upcoming phase: creators process, encrypt, and mint directly from personal hardware, storing IPFS capsules with embedded royalty contracts.
- Each participant becomes their own distribution node — a sovereign publisher in the programmable economy.
DePIN + PuterOS Integration
- Training Under Way: Two engineers embedded in Elacity Labs to build PuterOS backend extensions for Web3 Auth & IPFS.
- Objectives: runtime modules, P2P networking, and event systems connecting personal clouds through ElastOS.
- Framework aligns with WCIs four-system architecture — Trusted Computing, Agent Operations, Transaction Consensus, and Agent Routing.
Looking Ahead
- PGP chain rolls toward mainnet launch with full upgrade readiness.
- BTCD protocol enters its most stable phase yet.
- EE Wallet 3.2.9 expands access to all Elastos chains.
- Elacity demonstrates the first self-sovereign, cross-chain dDRM marketplace.
Every release moves Elastos closer to a world where computation, ownership, and identity belong entirely to users — the foundation of the SmartWeb.
