Hydro Dev Update 6/15

Hi everyone! We’ve been pursuing a lot of projects this past week:

1. Integrating QR codes into Client Raindrop. We’re excited about the possibility of adding QR code functionality into our mobile app, SDKs, and implementation guides for Client-Side Raindrop, our blockchain-based MFA solution. We’re even considering using Branch Metrics or a similar service to go above and beyond typical QR code functionality, and offer native deep linking. Briefly, deep linking allows QR codes to intelligently route users to the correct destination depending on their environment. For example, scanning the code on a mobile device might take existing users directly to our mobile app, whereas new users would be directed to the appropriate app store.
2. Building out Snowflake resolvers. Resolvers are at the core of our identity protocol. They’re third-party DApps which implement a shared interface, allowing them to seamlessly manage user accounts with Snowflake! Andy and I have both spent a lot of time developing DApps at work and in our free time, so we’re pretty well-versed in the landscape, and feel very confident in our ability to construct a robust, dev-friendly framework. Current and aspiring DApp developers: look out for resources on how to integrate your smart contracts with Snowflake soon!
3. Revamping our web wallet. We’re building a wrapper for MetaMask that provides a lot of Hydro functionality above and beyond the basic interface. We’ll be rolling this out on our developer portal soon. It’s been fun to take a break from backend work and implement a wallet UI in Javascript! We’ll be open-sourcing this code soon.

Thanks for reading, until next week!We’d love to hear from you! Please get in touch via Discord, Reddit, or Telegram.
