Behind the Code: Weekly Elastos Technical Update – August 12, 2025

The BeL2-NBW team has completed production deployment preperation for the BTCD stablecoin on ECO chain, fixed long-standing mainchain security flaws, and pushed forward critical UX upgrades. Meanwhile, Elacity Labs with WCI activated Lit-powered decryption in the player, delivering a truly decentralized DRM stack ready for ELA native media licensing and beyond.

  • Prepared multilingual user guides, FAQs, and full support protocols
  • Balanced decentralization ideals with community confidence through transparency and layered controls

Elacity Labs WCI

Lit Protocol Decryption Now Live in Player on testnet

  • Elacity’s dDRM player now supports Content Encryption Key (CEK) retrieval via Lit Protocol in testnet
  • CEKs are:
    • Pushed by backend Moleculer microservices
    • Mapped via smart contract KIDs (not tokenIds)
    • Decrypted using SIWE-authenticated session signatures

Smart Account & Contract Finalization

  • Verified license flow and minting behavior under abstracted user context

System Integration & Infrastructure

  • Migrated CEK logic into a standalone service
  • Resolved minting reverts from upgrade conflicts
  • Cleaned up vite configs and optimized frontend module dependencies
  • Reviewed final UI/UX elements across:
    • Explore, Channels, Library, Cinema, Subscriptions, Earnings, Homepage

 

What’s Next

BeL2-NBW

  • Officially launch BTCD protocol beta on ECO chain
  • Deploy full monitoring + alerting systems
  • Finalize customer service flow and knowledge base for multi-language support
  • Begin scoping new innovative features and liquidity integrations

Elacity Labs WCI

  • Harden CEK decryption flow with WASM security modules
  • Finish frontend polish and transition Lit integration into production
  • Prepare node and compute extensions for ElastOS deployment
  • Expand token-gated logic for on-chain royalties and media monetization

Why It Matters

This week, Elastos completed its transformation from potential to production:

  • BTCD protocol is near ready for beta launch, with ELA and FIST-backed collateral mechanisms
  • Elacity dDRM is near fully decentralized, from licensing to playback, with no centralized keys
  • Multi-language, multi-chain UX now spans wallet, browser, player, and smart account flows

Elastos is now operating on all layers of the SmartWeb: Consensus. Currency. Compute. Content.
