Overview​

We are proud to present a new milestone in the development of Kibisis: v1.16.0!

On the journey to fully embrace ARC-0200 assets, the latest version of Kibisis now displays a richer appearance for outgoing ARC-0200 transactions. Not only that, we have also added a few nuggets such as already added assets appearing in the add asset list.

Below you will find more details about what else is new in this release.

Features​

Richer Outgoing ARC-0200 Transactions​

Abstractly speaking, ARC-0200 are assets, however, their underlying implementation is using a smart contract (application). Therefore, they would appear like any other application in the activity list.

With the latest update, outgoing ARC-0200 assets appear as asset transfers, with the amount debited from the holdings.

Already Added Assets​

For assets that have already been added, they will now appear in the asset list when searching for assets to add.

Key Registration Transaction Via QR Code​

Key registration transactions can be parsed and posted by the Kibisis' QR scanner. This enables Kibisis to be used as potential method to register a key without having to store a key on a node.

Furthermore, the QR scanner can now be used to scan other windows on the screen, not just the browser.

⚠️ NOTE: This is still a work in-progress. Stay tuned for more updates on this work as the team is also working on recognizing the URI in the browser address.

Fixes​

• Seed phrase input gaps decreased to fit a full mnemonic (English BIP-39 compatible) word.
• ARC-0200 assets with a large total supply should now appear in the "Add Asset" search.

Closing Words​

Thank you for your continued interest in Kibisis! We hope you are enjoying using it.

Overview​

We are proud to present a new milestone in the development of Kibisis: v1.15.0!

The latest release of Kibisis lays the groundwork for the Voiage To Mainnet.

Below you will find more details about what else is new in this release.

Features​

Earn Rewards With Voi​

As we move from Voi's testnet to mainnet, Kibisis will give users the option to earn rewards through quests performed while using Kibisis. These quests will relate to earning rewards that will be distributed once Voi has launched mainnet in the coming months.

You will be shown a notification when you start up version 1.15.0 for the first time. You can choose to opt into quests, in the form of tracked actions, which is transmitted to a remote server.

⚠️ NOTE: the data being transmitted will contain the account address, for certain actions, the asset ID. This data will be stored until the transition into Voi's mainnet and used exclusively for determining rewards.

Opt-in to quest tracking is completely voluntary, and you can turn it off at any time by going switching off Settings > Privacy > Allow certain actions to be tracked?.

For more information, see this blog post.

AVM Web Provider Support​

It strictly adheres to the ARC-0027 standard that lays out the schema structure for the transport layer, but, more importantly, it allows for communication between multiple wallets and multiple AVM chains.

Fixes​

• Only one background app window opens when attempting to connect to a dApp that is open in multiple browser tabs (AVM Web Provider and Algorand provider implementations only).

Closing Words​

Thank you for your continued interest in Kibisis! We hope you are enjoying using it.

Voi mainnet is upon us!​

Hello fellow Voiagers!

As you may be aware, Voi will soon be releasing mainnet and as a user of Kibisis you have been part of this extraordinary journey. Therefore, we at Kibisis would like to cordially invite you to undertake a few quests to earn rewards that will be redeemable once we enter mainnet.

Repeatable quests​

Repeatable quests are simple, every day actions that have varying reward multipliers depending on the ease of the task. These quests can be repeated as many times as you like and include, but not limited to:

• Sending some VOI to another account
• Sending some VIA (or any ARC-0200 asset) to another account
• Sending some standard assets to another account
• Acquiring an NFT
• ... and more!

"Feat Of Strength" quests​

"Feat Of Strength" quests are hidden quests that include not very well known/used features. These quests have high multipliers and can only be performed once but may earn extra special rewards!

How do I start completing quests?​

With the launch of v1.15.0, you will receive a message that will allow you to opt in to quests. Either press "Yes, I'm in!" or "Cancel" if you wish to start completing quests.

If you missed the message or pressed cancel, and you have decided that you want to opt-in, you can go to Settings > Privacy > Allow certain actions to be tracked?.

You can opt out at any time by repeating the above procedure and toggling off Allow certain actions to be tracked?.

Closing Words​

Thank you for your continued interest in Kibisis! We hope you are enjoying using it.

It has been an epic ride so far, and we could not have got this far without your continued support.

Overview​

We are proud to present a new milestone in the development of Kibisis: v1.14.0!

It has been a long time coming, but we are very excited to announce the release of NFTs! You can now view your ARC-0072 NFTs under the NFT tab on the accounts page.

Below you will find more details about what else is new in this release.

Features​

ARC-0072 NFT Support​

You can not see all your ARC-0072 NFTs under the NFT tab. Your NFTs should automatically appear under this tab (no need to manually).

And you can see more information about the NFT by selecting one.

Remove Standard Asset​

If like us, you participated in the early access Voi Winter Games, you may have been given a standard asset and wanted to remove it. Well, version 1.14.0 now allows you to opt-out of a standard asset.

⚠️ NOTE: There is a transaction fee associated with "opting-out" of standard assets. This is a protocol requirement and cannot be avoided, unlike ARC-0200 assets.

Minimum Balance Requirement Error Message​

A new error message is shown, if your account falls below the minimum balance requirement for a transaction. Either sending assets, adding assets or removing assets.

Fixes​

• Main app window should launch with focus on Chrome.

Overview​

We are proud to present a new milestone in the development of Kibisis: v1.13.0!

By popular demand, version 1.13.0 now allows you to re-view your seed phrase for any imported or created accounts. Furthermore, as the previous versions brought the ability to import and account via a QR code, now version 1.13.0 allows you to export an account via a QR code.

Below you will find more details about what else is new in this release.

Features​

View Your Seed Phrase​

When you create or import account an account, Kibisis uses the seed phrase to get the private key. This private key is encrypted and stored securely in the Kibisis' on-browser storage. Now you can decrypt the private key and convert it back to your original seed phrase, allowing for you to view or copy it.

Export Account Via QR Code​

With the advent of Kibisis supporting importing an account using a QR code, there is now an option to export an account via a QR code.

Import An Account Via A QR Code As An Add Account Option​

When adding a new account, importing an account via a QR code is now and option in the list.

Fixes​

• When sending assets, the correct error is shown if you incorrectly type a password.

Overview​

We are proud to present a new milestone in the development of Kibisis: v1.12.0!

The latest features of v1.12.0 mostly center around the extended use of the QR code. Kibisis can now utilize your device's camera and scan a QR code! But that is not all, you can also add ARC-0200 assets via a QR code.

Below you will find more details about what is new in this release.

Features​

Scan A QR Code Via Your Device's Camera​

Currently, to scan a QR code, a code would need to be displayed on the active tab of your browser. However, Kibisis can now utilize your device's camera and scan a QR code from any that maybe displayed by the camera.

As shown below, you will be presented with the option to scan using your camera, or the browser window.

⚠️ NOTE: You will need to allow access for Kibisis to use your camera. You can change this permission at anytime by removing it from your browser settings.

Scan QR Code To Add Assets​

Adding assets can sometimes be cumbersome, however, assets can now be added using a QR code! Once you scan a compatible code you will be presented with a modal to confirm you want to add the asset.

Here is an example of adding VIA to Voi testnet:

avm://asset/add/6779767?genesishash=IXnoWtviVVJW5LGivNFc0Dq14V3kqaXuK2u5OQrdVZo=&type=arc0200

What's more, you can visit https://avm-asset-list.agoralabs.sh to easily search and add from a curated list of popular ARC-0200 assets, across all networks (even testnet!).

ARC-0200 Assets Automatically Added Via QR Code Account Import​

When importing an account via a QR code, a new query param can be added to the URI that allows you to automatically add ARC-0200 assets.

Here is an example of importing an account with multiple ARC-0200 assets

avm://account/import?privatekey=...&encoding=hex&asset=6779767,6795477

⚠️ NOTE: The new asset param is a comma separated list of ARC-0200 IDs.

Account Selection Persists Through Restarts​

A small, but nice, feature is that whenever you switch account, this choice persists whenever Kibisis is closed and re-opened. This persistence also extends to the account's tabs.

First Account Is Selected On Enable Session​

When connecting an account, the first choice in the account list is automatically selected.

Fixes​

• Account tabs no longer need to be double clicked.

Overview​

We are proud to present a new milestone in the development of Kibisis: v1.11.0!

The latest features of v1.11.0 has been shaped based heavily of user feedback. As has been requested, you can now choose to enable a password lock, so you do not have to keep entering your password on sensitive operations. Also, by popular demand, is the ability to select one of your wallet accounts when sending an asset.

Below you will find more details about what is new in this release.

Features​

Password Lock​

This feature has been added due to popular request. By default, Kibisis asks you to enter your password whenever you do a sensitive operation; operations that require access to the encrypted private key. However, you can now enable this in the settings:

1. Open the Settings by click the "⚙️" button:

2. Select the "Security" settings:

3. Enable the password lock (you will first be prompted to enter you password):

You can set the timeout to lock the extension in 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or "Never".

⚠️ NOTE: The password lock timeout starts when the extension window loses focus, however, a password will always be needed if you close the extension window, regardless of timeout duration.

Select A Known Account When Sending Assets​

Another feature that has been a popular request, is the ability to quickly select an account for the "To" address when sending assets.

Clear The Seed Phrase Input​

When importing a new account, you can quickly clear the whole input with a new "Reset" button.

Import An Account Via A QR Code​

Starting with v1.11.0, Kibisis will slowly develop, in close collaboration with LeslieOA, a new way to connect and interact with Kibisis: URIs and QR Codes.

A new ARC-0300 is underway to develop this specification further and Kibisis is one of the testing grounds for the proposal. To start, you can import a wallet via a QR code.

⚠️ NOTE: This feature is still in development and please use at your own risk as the QR code, in its current form, holds an unencrypted private key. While Kibisis does not display the QR code, it currently only reads the code, we must remember to keep our keys safe.

Fixes​

• Copy and pasting comma separated seed phrases should fill all inputs correctly.
• Fix issue with a stuck screen when importing an account on registration.
• Background requests from dApps should correctly open Kibisis on first prompt.
• A zero is no longer padded to the amount of the send asset input.
• Fix an issue that caused a crash when attempting to sign a transaction with zero amount and zero fee.

Thank you for your continued interest in Kibisis! We hope you are enjoying using it.

Overview​

We are proud to present a new milestone in the development of Kibisis: v1.10.1!

This new update mainly focuses on some underlying infrastructure work that allows Kibisis to more robustly connect with dapps.

Below you will find more details about what is new in this release.

Features​

UseWallet Support​

The star feature in this release is support for the popular provider connector UseWallet, produced by the excellent team over at TxnLab.

Kibisis will now be integrated as a provider with UseWallet, which means a lot of existing dapps will be able to support Kibisis as a wallet to sign your transactions.

For the dapp developers out there, all that is needed to allow Kibisis is specifying the Kibisis provider ID:

import React from 'react';
import { PROVIDER_ID, WalletProvider, useInitializeProviders } from '@txnlab/use-wallet';

export const App = () => {
  const providers = useInitializeProviders({
    providers: [
      // ... other providers
      { id: PROVIDER_ID.KIBISIS },
    ],
  });

  return (
    <WalletProvider value={providers}>
      <div className="App">{/* ... */}</div>
    </WalletProvider>
  );
};

import React, { FC } from 'react';
import { PROVIDER_ID, SupportedProviders, WalletProvider, useInitializeProviders } from '@txnlab/use-wallet';

export const App: FC = () => {
  const providers: SupportedProviders | null = useInitializeProviders({
    providers: [
      // ... other providers
      { id: PROVIDER_ID.KIBISIS },
    ],
  });

  return (
    <WalletProvider value={providers}>
      <div className="App">{/* ... */}</div>
    </WalletProvider>
  );
};

A MASSIVE thank you to Doug Richar for their invaluable support in getting such an important milestone for Kibisis over line.

Hide ARC-200 Asset​

A new button is now available on the asset page that allows you to "hide" an ARC-200 asset. This simply hides the asset from the asset holdings list.

You can re-add the ARC-200 asset at any time without any impact to your funds.

Credit goes to the ever awesome D13 for their work in suggesting and implementing this feature.

Pera Explorer Integration​

With the release of Pera Explorer for Algorand MainNet and TestNets, it will now appear as an option in preferred block explorer list, and, in the case of Algorand TestNet, the default block explorer.

Remove Downloads Permission​

We have moved the Strong Password Policy (the policy that sets out guidelines for passwords) to the external Kibisis website here: https://kibis.is/strong-password-policy.

This means that we have removed the feature that allowed you to download the document locally, which, in-turn also removes the downloads permission.

Implementation Of The Proposed ARC-0027​

A new ARC has been proposed: ARC-0027. This ARC proposes the use of BroadcastChannel to securely handle communications between a browser extension and a webpage.

Version 1.10.1 has revamped its underlying infrastructure to move away from script injecting and to use the proposed ARC-0027.

Fixes​

• When importing an account on registration, the registration app should close and open the main app.
• Allow MainNet for Algorand correctly enables when confirming.

Overview​

We are proud to present a new milestone in the development of Kibisis: v1.9.0!

A Happy New Year from the team here at Agora Labs!

As we enter the new year, we have but a humble update as version 1.9.0 is all about the little things. We have been working on improving some quality of life features that may not be big or bold, but do pack a punch; because we all know it is the little things that count 😉

Below you will find more details about what is new in this release.

Features​

Rename Your Account​

A feature that has been requested a few times is the ability to rename your account, and so, we are happy to announce this is now possible!

On the account page, you will now notice an edit button next to the account address:

Pressing this will allow you to edit your account name until your heart is content. Give it a go!

About Settings​

A new option is now available on the settings page: About.

This page will provide information about the Kibisis extension, such as the extension ID and the version. The About page will be updated from time to time with new information that maybe helpful for you throughout your use of Kibisis.

⚠️ NOTE: the version was previous at the bottom of the main settings page, this is no longer the case and has been moved to the "About" settings page.

Debug Logging​

For the tech savvy, there is now an option in the "Advanced" settings that allows you to turn on debug logging. This will output a lot of useful information to the browser console.

This is also quite useful for us in terms of support, as the log is a breadcrumb trail of what happened before an error occurred and will help us identity an issue.

Re-focus Extension Window​

A small but nifty feature is the ability to re-focus the extension when the Kibisis button is pressed again.

Pressing Enter On Password Submission​

Us humans have made the keyboard ubiquitous to our lives, as such we are now compelled to press the Enter/Return when we finish typing input, especially when inputting our password.

To embrace this new natural human function, in Kibisis, pressing the Enter/Return key after you have typed out your password will now submit it!

As we said, the little things.

Fixes​

• Native currency will no longer show as a "ASA" type on the send asset summary screen.

Overview​

We are proud to present a new milestone in the development of Kibisis: v1.8.0!

First and foremost, a Merry Christmas 🎄 from the team here at Agora Labs! The new version of Kibisis, version 1.8.0, is all about supporting ARC-200 tokens, the sexy new type of AVM assets. But that's not all, we have also brought in Standard Asset opt-ins as well as various fixes that squash some annoying bugs.

Below you will find more details about what is new in this release.

Features​

ARC-200 Support​

The new ARC-200 token standard represents a major upgrade for assets on the AVM (Algorand Virtual Machine). They allow assets to utilize the power of smart contracts, by actually being a smart contract!

ARC-200 tokens have been inspired by the equivalent ERC-20 on EVM chains. ERC-20 tokens underpin almost all tokens on EVM and so it is only fitting that AVM also has an asset of similar standard.

The team here at Agora Labs have been working hard over Christmas to get ARC-200 support ready. With version 1.8.0, you can not add an ARC-200 asset, if you know the application ID:

The beauty of ARC-200 is that it is free to opt-in, yes that is right, ARC-200 does not require a fee to opt-in!

Once the ARC-200 asset has been added, it will appear in your asset holdings, and you will be able to check your balance, send and receive!

To learn more about ARC-200, make sure you check out the specification here.

Standard Asset Opt-in​

Although there is a lot of talk about ARC-200, let us not forget one of the most powerful features of the AVM: Standard Assets. These assets are baked into the very heart of the AVM protocol and are a feature that makes AVM chains the best in class.

The new version of Kibisis allows you to opt-in to standard assets, using an opt-in transaction, which, at the time of writing will cost you 0.01; the standard fee amount.

Fixes​

• The amount field on the sending asset screen now correctly handles decimals.
• The send asset screen no longer shows a blank screen when coming from the settings page.
• Minor fixes.

Closing Words​

Thank you for your continued interest in Kibisis! We hope you are enjoying using it.
