dApp Integration

Integration with HashgreenSwap

The team has been testing dApp integration recently. For those of you who have been anticipating the integration with HashgreenSwap, it will likely be near at hand as soon as there are any further updates. The most immediate one will be deploying HashgreenSwap on the Testnet. You know what to do then. 😌🌕

For Developers: dApp Interface and Transaction

dApp interface has been successfully implemented and the transaction function Transfer is also added for developers who wish to connect Hoogii. If you are a developer and would like to connect Hoogii wallet into your dApp, please feel free to check out developer docs or reach out to us via contact@hoogii.app.

Transfer is used for transferring CAT or XCH to a specified recipient, with the option to attach memos.

Parameters

to: A string. The recipient's Chia address.
amount: An integer. The amount of Chia being transferred, measured in mojo (the smallest unit of Chia, equivalent to 10^-12 XCH).
memos: An optional list of string. Memos associated with the transfer. Each memo is a hex string that can be used to attach additional data to the transfer.
assetId: An optional string. The ID of the asset being transferred, if the transfer involves an asset other than XCH. This field is optional and can be left out for XCH transfers.

interface TransferParams {
  to: string;  // bech32m encoded address
  amount: number;
  memos?: string[];
  assetId?: string;
}

Returns

null: no return value is provided upon success.

Example

const params = {
  to: 'txch1yw8gm66uzmuzj4ezzk7tmpjk7fzacq8n7tgtdq0zshxj978gp6cq6sm5z8',
  amount: '1000',
  // hex string, "hello chia".encode("utf-8")
  memos: ['0x68656c6c6f2063686961'],  
  assetId:
    '73dd418ff67e6079f06c7cc8cee637c7adc314210dca26997d634692f6c16087',
};
window.chia.hoogii.request({ method: 'transfer', params });

User Experience Optimization

One of the focuses aligned with our principles and expectation regarding development is to continue to optimize the user experience and improve upon previous iterations. In this update, we introduce Activity Memo Tooltips and also we have been refactoring code to make sure Hoogii is more stable and runs more smoothly.

Activity Memo Tooltips

In the previous update, we introduced Memo, providing an option to adhere a memo alongside the transaction. In this update, we have made an adjustment and add a memo tooltip to show all the complete information of the memo. Hover your mouse over the info button to see the total memo.

Backend Refactoring

Our team has decided to do code refactoring to improve readability and reduce complexity. You may not feel it but restructuring the code will essentially streamline the effort for code maintenance and Hoogii will be much more efficient and smooth sailing to use.
