Kibisis release 3D pixel icon in space

Overview

We are proud to present a new milestone in the development of Kibisis: v1.18.0!

This version of Kibisis comes with a lot of updates. First and foremost, we have re-skinned a lot of UI elements and with this come a fair few fixes for a lot of old bugs (reported and unreported ones). Furthermore, we have also added the ability to add your own custom nodes so you no longer have to rely on public nodes for your interactions with the network.

As an added bonus (and for us a very exciting feature), we have added support for passkeys for authentication!

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

Features

New UI

Kibisis has had some UI love ❤️.

In a bid to make a lot of the elements more cohesive and to improve elements that are buggy under certain conditions. Wallet-wide, there have been UI enhancements and we hope you enjoy these, and, as always, please feel free to send us some feedback.

Custom Nodes

Kibisis' default node service it uses to communicate with the network is the free node that is provided by the very awesome and fantastic folks over at Nodely. However, you may want to you use your own node.

By going to Settings > Advanced > "Custom Nodes", you can add nodes for each network. You can decide which one to activate or deactivate and all interactions with the network will go through your activated node.

Note Fields Have A 1kb Limit

Transaction notes are limited to 1024 bytes or 1024 characters. Note fields now have a limit and a transaction will not be able to be sent if this limit is exceeded.

With the aforementioned UI enhancements, there is a handy "characters remaining" indicator as you type to let you know how many characters are remaining.

Passkey Authentication

A pain point for most users are passwords. While strong passwords are a necessary evil to ensure strong private key encryption, they are not the only form of authentication.

Passkeys allow for password-less authentication and Kibisis now supports using passkeys in lieu of a password. Your account's private keys are encrypted/decrypted using a passkey making for a far more seamless experience, without compromising on security.

Try it now by going to Settings > Security > Passkey.

Authenticating with a passkeyAuthenticating with a passkey
note

As the passkeys are being used for encryption, they require a certain type of extension (PRF - see BitWarden's excellent blog post for a brief explanation). Currently, only certain passkeys support this type extension, so not all passkeys will work.

caution

This is currently an experimental feature and is still a work in progress.

Minor Features

  • The password timeout now persists when the app is closed.
  • A 32-character limit has been set on account names.
  • Export multiple or all or your accounts via QR codes.
  • When the seed phrase is being displayed, numbers have been added to each word to indicate its positioning in the 25-word seed.

Fixes

  • Removed scroll bars.
  • Added more padding to account items in the sidebar.
  • NFT indexer requests are no longer sent twice.
  • Account details update when an NFT metadata is empty.

Closing Words

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

Remember, if you see any bugs, please report the issue here. If you would like to make any suggestions on new features, you can fill out a feature request here.

Kibisis release 3D pixel icon in space

Overview

We are proud to present a new milestone in the development of Kibisis: v1.17.0!

The latest release from Kibisis brings one of the stand-out & staple features of the AVM: re-keyed accounts. This release also packs an extra feature-punch with watch accounts and quest completion notifications.

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

Features

Re-keyed Account Support

Re-keyed accounts are a core foundation of AVM and one of our favourite features here at Kibisis, therefore, we are proud of the work that has gone into getting this feature implemented.

When you have a re-keyed account, you will now see the re-keyed badges being displayed on the account screen and in the sidebar.

note

In order to use a re-keyed account, you will also need the authorized account present in the wallet.

For accounts that don't have the authorized account present in the wallet, they will also contain a watch account badge.

For a more detailed overview of what re-keying is, checkout Algorand's excellent article on its ins and outs.

Watch Accounts

A happy side effect of re-keying was the need for a watch account. Watch accounts are accounts that can be added without the need of a seed phrase (private key), all that is required is the public address of the account.

Watch accounts will appear alongside normal accounts, but will be displayed with a watch account badge and will have limited functionality (essentially anything that requires signing, i.e. sending assets, adding standard assets).

Quest Completion Notification

Quests have been tracked since their implementation in the last release, however, there was no indication that quests were completed.

The latest release displays a notification (and some confetti for those that love a tada!) when a quest has been completed.

note

For an overview of your Voi completed quests, check out the awesome Voi Rewards Calculator.

Kibisis-specific Key Registration URI

Kibisis already parses a QR encoded key registration transaction URI, but you can now parse a URI from the browser's address bar. Simply prefix the URI with the word "kibisis" and Kibisis will attempt to parse the key registration. For example:

kibisis avm://transaction/send?genesishash=IXnoWtviVVJW5LGivNFc0Dq14V3kqaXuK2u5OQrdVZo%3D&selectionkey=LrpLhvzr-QpN_bivh6IPpOaKGbGzTTB5lJtVfixmmgk%3D&stateproofkey=RpUpNWfZMjZ1zOOjv3MF2tjO714jsBt0GKnNsw0ihJ4HSZwci-d9zvUi3i67LwFUJgjQ5Dz4zZgHgGduElnmSA%3D%3D&sender=TESTKHUQJXXNSDSTCIY35GL3XMLFWNFEYH3HNATVGBURZR7XJP7C6EYM6Y&type=keyreg&votefirst=1&votekey=G_lqTV6MKspW6J8wH2d8ZliZ5XZVZsruqSBJMwLwlmo%3D&votekeydilution=316&votelast=100000
danger

The above URI is an example and will fail when posted to the network.

note

This feature is part of the larger body of work to integrating generating participation keys for nodes. See generating participation keys for more information.

Although a plethora of Kibisis' features are not for the casual user, we have been working hard on these little known features and will continue to push the the boundaries of what blockchain and a wallet can unlock.

Fixes

  • The quest threshold for sending assets has been lowered from greater or equal to 1, to greater than 0.
  • Node URLs are used for network pings to avoid false positive network connectivity issues.

Closing Words

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

Remember, if you see any bugs, please report the issue here. If you would like to make any suggestions on new features, you can fill out a feature request here.

Kibisis release 3D pixel icon in space

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?.

Allow action tracking from privacy settingsAllow action tracking from privacy settings

For more information, see this blog post.

AVM Web Provider Support

Agora Labs has released a new provider, the AVM Web Provider. This new provider allows seamless communication between web-based providers (i.e. wallets) and clients (i.e. dApps).

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.

Remember, if you see any bugs, please report the issue here. If you would like to make any suggestions on new features, you can fill out a feature request here.

Kibisis quest 3D pixel icon in space

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?.

Allow action tracking from privacy settingsAllow action tracking from privacy settings

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

note

We will need to gather and transmit the quests to a remote server and each quest completion will be referenced by the address and/or asset ID that completed it. This is a small deviation from Kibisis' privacy policy and, as such, we have updated the privacy policy to accommodate this new clause. However, this is completely voluntary, and if you choose not to opt-in, no data will be gathered and transmitted.

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.
