This week, the NBW team delivered concrete progress across BPoS governance infrastructure, node incentive mechanisms, and chain stability. A full BPoS testing environment is now operational, the block production revenue distribution contract has entered active development, and a critical ESC chain block production issue was resolved rapidly. Together, these advances materially strengthen decentralised governance readiness and operational resilience across the Elastos Ecosystem and it’s partner PG Community.
BPoS Governance & Incentives for PG Chain
BPoS Contract Testing Environment — Complete
- End-to-end BPoS testing environment deployed (chain, contracts, Oracle)
- Registration, deregistration, and DAO/BPoS data flows fully tested
- Resolved miner registration signature verification issues
- Validated contract state correctness across edge cases
Node/Staker Revenue Distribution Contract — Major Progress
- Finalised architecture and revenue distribution algorithm
- Core smart contract code completed
- Unit tests written and under active expansion
- Signature message format updated to support distribution logic
BTCD Keeper Signature Scheme
- In-depth discussion of Keeper signature models
- Revenue impact scenarios analysed
- Clear technical direction established for protocol optimisation
ESC Chain Stability
Emergency Block Production Fix
- ESC chain block production failure identified and root-caused
- Fix implemented, tested, and deployed
- Node upgrades coordinated successfully
- Post-upgrade monitoring confirms stable operation
This incident reinforced the importance of production-grade resilience for BTCFi systems operating under adversarial conditions. For broader ecosystem context, see BTCFi: A Sleeping Giant.
Elastos Essentials Wallet Improvements
User Experience Simplification
- Removed Account Abstraction wallet creation entry to reduce confusion
- Simplified wallet onboarding and flow
BTC Transaction Flexibility
- Added custom BTC transaction fee rate support
- Users can now adapt fees to network conditions
Product Quality Assurance
- BTCD dApp fixes verified and regression-tested
- Essentials wallet issues validated; new findings logged and tracked
- Ongoing local compilation and verification workflows maintained
NBW 2.0 Progress Snapshot
This week represents a meaningful step forward in NBW 2.0 decentralised governance:
- BPoS integration in PG chain testing infrastructure fully operational
- The new BPoS integration to PG Chain revenue distribution contract underway
- BTCD Keeper signature optimisation path clarified
- Chain stability and response processes validated in production conditions
Next Focus
- Expand revenue distribution contract testing and audits
- Advance Keeper signature scheme implementation
- Prepare BPoS components for testnet deployment
- Continue EE wallet and BTCD dApp optimisation
- Strengthen ESC chain monitoring and alerting
Closing
This week strengthened the technical foundations required for decentralised governance at scale. With BPoS infrastructure maturing, incentive mechanisms taking shape, and system stability reinforced, NBW continues to move from architectural readiness toward production-grade decentralisation.
