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.

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.

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
warning

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.
