Behind the Code: Weekly Elastos Technical Update August 5, 2025

This week, Elastos engineering teams advanced both strategic preparation and technical milestones—building the foundations for a multi-scenario stablecoin ecosystem and a fully decentralized media economy.

The BeL2-NBW team focused on preparing diversified solutions around Elastos DAO Proposal #196, enhancing Gold-Silver Minting (GSM), and designing the USDT-to-BTCD exchange mechanism. Meanwhile, Elacity Labs reached smart account compliance with Particle Network and made major progress toward Lit Protocol–powered decentralized licensing, paving the way for a censorship-resistant, serverless media stack.

 

BeL2-NBW Team

Strategic Multi-Scenario Planning

  • Prepared technical solutions for future paths of DAO Proposal 196, including ECO chain dual gas fee design
  • Explored merge mining → independent public chain transitions for long-term network autonomy
  • Optimized fee distribution logic:
    • 7% annual stablecoin fee with 1% for risk hedging options
    • 70% to project team, 30% to Elastos Foundation
  • Gas contract automation for revenue and ELA buyback-burn

Stablecoin System Enhancements

Gold-Silver Minting (GSM)

  • Completed testing of simultaneous ELA and FIST staking
  • Optimized collateral ratio flexibility, from 40% to 65%
  • Updated GSM user guides and staking contract parameters for risk control

USDT-to-BTCD Exchange

  • Developed and tested BTCDVault contracts for 1:1 USDT → BTCD minting
  • Designed cross-chain bridging for multi-chain USDT access
  • Enhanced liquidity management and risk mitigation mechanisms

Automated Services

  • Advanced Issuer auto-signing service to auto-seize BTC after overdue repayment (in progress)
  • Tested 30% interest extraction and distribution during repayment events

Mainchain Security & ECO Chain Research

  • Fixed illegal proposal bugs in mainchain BPoS nodes
  • Strengthened abnormal event detection and handling for consensus nodes
  • Researched ERC-4337 account abstraction on ECO chain for dual gas fee support (PGA as gas, ELA as final settlement asset)
  • Designed gas proxy payment + auto-exchange mechanism to improve UX

Infrastructure & Community

  • Deployed backup browser nodes (ELA, ESC, EID) with rapid recovery setup
  • Cleaned and optimized AWS resources, reducing costs
  • Participated in DACA hackathon, providing tracks, review processes, and developer documentation
  • Recorded BTCD protocol operation videos and updated PGP + BTCD deployment guides

Smart Account Compliance & Lit Protocol Integration

Smart Account Breakthroughs

  • Achieved full ERC-4337 compliance for minting, approvals, and license flows
  • Fixed _msgSender context issues and signature validation for abstracted ownership
  • Deployed updated Operative and Channel contracts to support bundled transactions

Lit Protocol CEK Integration

  • Progressing toward serverless, decentralized key handling for media playback
  • Defined push + retrieval phases for CEKs via Lit nodes
  • Scoped C/WASM player security layer to handle session-signed CEKs
  • Planned legacy crypto fallback for backward compatibility

Repository & Infrastructure

  • Resolved staging and live server instabilities
  • Advanced global code review for frontend, backend, and smart contract alignment
  • Prepared CI/CD and repo migration for elastos.pc2.net

Weekly Highlights

  • Smart account license flows now work end-to-end for abstracted accounts
  • Signature and ownership validation stabilized
  • Lit CEK push and retrieval workflow defined
  • Hardened WASM decryption path scoped for player core
  • Infrastructure and code review aligned across the stack

What’s Next

BeL2-NBW

  • Deploy Issuer auto-signing for overdue BTC liquidation
  • Deepen GSM testing and USDT-BTCD liquidity optimization
  • Complete ERC-4337 contract feasibility verification on ECO
  • Prepare mainchain illegal proposal fix for production rollout

Elacity Labs WCI

  • Implement player-side Lit CEK retrieval + WASM decryption
  • Finalize bundled transaction stability for smart accounts
  • Progress repo migration + CI/CD for ElastOS integration
  • Continue frontend UX refinement for universal accounts

Why It Matters

This week’s progress fortifies the Elastos ecosystem on two fronts:

  1. Stablecoin System Evolution
    • Multi-token collateral and USDT conversion open liquidity floodgates
    • Dual gas and cross-chain prep ensure resilience under all governance outcomes
  2. World Computer & Elacity Media Sovereignty
    • Smart accounts abstract wallets for frictionless access
    • Lit Protocol removes the final centralized key dependency for DRM
    • Infrastructure aligns for an unstoppable, self-sovereign digital economy
