Welcome to this week’s Behind the Code, your inside look into the engineering teams building the Elastos SmartWeb. This week, NBW strengthened stability and automation of the BTCD protocol and its supporting chains. They completed the Issuer auto-penalty system, auto-unlock mechanism, and the first intelligent proof-submission engine, transforming previously manual workflows into autonomous systems. At the infrastructure level, NBW resolved major SPV synchronization inconsistencies across ESC, EID, and PG chains and completed the coordinated shutdown of the 5-second test chain. Several BTCD and EE Wallet UX issues were fixed — including proof-submission failures, mobile keyboard overlays, and iOS JS-crash bugs — improving user reliability.
This week marks a foundational milestone for the Elacity’s World Computer work. The MCP (Module/Message Control Protocol) is now fully integrated with the Wasmer runtime, enabling AppCapsules to operate as portable, secure execution units across cloud and PC2 hardware. This is equivalent to defining the syscall layer of Linux for Elastos.
NBW Team Major Achievements This Week
1. Advanced Automated Operations (NBW 2.0 Phase 3 Milestone)
- Full Issuer auto-penalty workflow (BTC confiscation, order closure, exceptions).
- Intelligent auto-proof-submission system for keeper + order proofs.
- Issuer auto-unlock BTC mechanism debugged and tested.
- Major reduction in manual operations.
2. Multi-Chain Infrastructure Stabilized
- Fixed SPV inconsistencies across ESC, EID, PGP.
- ESC chain halt identified and patched.
- Node-upgrade announcements + CR support.
3. PGP Chain Ops Optimized
- Smooth shutdown of the 5-second test chain.
- Improved operational playbooks and monitoring.
4. Critical User Experience Fixes
- Fixed proof-submission failures.
- Mobile keyboard overlay issue resolved.
- iOS rendering issues fixed.
- EE Wallet JS crash fixed (malformed URLs).
Advanced Automated Operations
Issuer Auto-Penalty Mechanism — What was accomplished
- End-to-end BTC confiscation workflow.
- Auto-closure of orders.
- Fixed incorrect lockTime calculations.
- Robust error handling + edge-case protection.
Impact: Moves NBW from reactive → proactive risk management.
Intelligent Proof Submission System
- Automated submission for keeper + order proofs.
- Modular targeting logic.
- Fully debugged for new PGP chain.
- Stable proof-ready triggers implemented.
Impact: Drastically lowers operational overhead.
Issuer Auto-Unlock BTC
- Fixed unlock failures from SPV mismatches.
- Improved unlock-flow judgment rules.
- Assisted ELA transfer / BTCD mint fixes.
Impact: Completes BTCD automation: penalize → close → unlock. NBW also focused on making all the blockchains they manage run smoothly and fixing issues across their apps. Several chains had problems staying in sync, but NBW repaired them and checked everything to make sure the systems were stable again. One chain even stopped for a moment, but NBW found the cause and patched it. Their test chain was also shut down cleanly using a new automatic script they created. On the app side, NBW fixed problems in the BTCD app—such as proofs not submitting, phone keyboards blocking important fields, and iPhone display bugs. They also repaired a crash in the EE Wallet that was caused by bad links. After these fixes, NBW tested everything end-to-end, including app builds, chain migrations, and the PGP minting process.
Some of the hardest issues they solved involved mismatched blockchain data, timing problems in the penalty system, cross-platform mobile bugs, and improving their chain-operations tools. Looking ahead to next week, NBW plans to finish improving the penalty system, make proof submissions smoother, upgrade monitoring for the PGP chain, and polish the user experience across BTCD and EE Wallet. They’ll also expand their analytics setup and strengthen tools that help them track the health of multiple chains at the same time.
NBW Conclusion
NBW 2.0 Phase 3: Advanced Automation is now underway. The penalty engine, intelligent proof submission, and auto-unlock system convert BTCD into an autonomously operating BTCFi protocol. Combined with multi-chain stability and UX improvements, NBW is now positioned to scale with high reliability and trust.
Elastos World Computer Initiative (WCI)
World Computer – MCP Integration & Wasmer Runtime Migration
The MCP protocol is now fully integrated with Wasmer, unifying system interfaces and enabling AppCapsules to operate as portable, permissioned processes across PC2 and cloud. This formalizes the “syscall layer” of the Elastos runtime.
1. MCP Mechanism – System Interface Contract Complete. What was completed:
- Full MCP interface definitions.
- System access-point extraction.
- Strong runtime→OS security boundary.
- JSON-RPC / Schema 2.0 integration.
- Validation + auth patterns established.
Why this matters: Defines the Elastos syscall layer, governing:
- I/O
- Storage
- Network
- Identity & authorization
- Future agent interactions
It is foundational for Trusted Digital Twin Runtime (Dimension 1).
2. Wasmer Runtime Integration via MCP. Wasmer apps now:
- Run as isolated AppCapsules
- Interact only through MCP
- Are portable across devices
- Are permissioned + inspectable
This improves security and reduces coupling. Next Steps:
- Add capsule selection to onboarding.
- Split App Market into independent capsules.
- Integrate authentication into runtime layer.
- Prepare PC2 + cloud capsule deployment UI.
Workflow Engine & Background Compute Layer
Advanced the Workflow Event Integration & Job State Machine, powering:
- Transcoding
