PEAK VAULT - A NEW HIVE WALLET
Yes the announcement posts are coming fast and furious and we'll have yet another one early next week about a completed feature.
INTRODUCTION
A core foundation of the Hive community is the ability to choose from multiple tools to get the job done. We have multiple block explorers, multiple content publishing platforms and multiple nodes... this is a part of the concept of decentralization.
Until now there has only been ONE wallet that could be used to safely store keys and interact with various apps throughout Hive. Our entire team uses Hive Keychain extension and are very happy it exists, however for the health of the Hive ecosystem we believe it's VERY important there is a decentralization in choice. Also we believe we have some unique ideas and UX experience to bring to the table.
And that's why today we are announcing that not only do we intend to have a fully functional wallet for Hive but that we are already well on our way with a functional prototype already working as part of the PEAK OPEN PROJECTS.
Let us share with you the progress of Peak Vault and what is in store for the Hive community.
Layout, Signing Basic Transactions, and Sending HIVE
The team has been laying the groundwork needed for Peak Vault. The initial layout of the wallet extension is already complete, along with some backend work needed for the project.
Aside from these, Peak Vault has also recently accomplished a huge development milestone.
MILESTONE: SIGNING BASIC TRANSACTIONS AND SENDING HIVE FROM THE WALLET
Peak Vault now has the functionality to sign basic transactions and send HIVE from the wallet. Check out the illustration below to see Peak Vault in action.
This is just the start of many more developments that will be done. Here is a list of things that was already added to Peak Vault.
Completed activities:
- Key encryption and log in
- Dark mode and light mode option
- Load and view tokens on the extension
- Sign basic transactions from wallet interface
- Send & transfer HIVE from wallet
WHAT'S NEXT?
There's more that will be developed on Peak Vault. We have shared an overview of various functionalities that will be added to the project moving forward.
CORE
- ✅ Encryption
- ✅ Ability to sign transactions
- Account import
- Integration with Hive nodes
STAGE 1
- ✅ Show balances
- ✅ Send HIVE/HBD tokens
- Rework the core
- Allow importing account/keys
STAGE 2
- Other wallet operations (e.g., stake, unstake, claim rewards, savings, delegate, undelegate)
- Account History
STAGE 3
- Allow website integration with a single generic "broadcast" operation
- Settings to allow users to save preferences (to not ask to verify every single transaction on the website if only posting key is used)
STAGE 4
- Governance votes (witnesses/proposals)
- Ledger wallet integration
STAGE 5+
- There are lots more unique features that will be added to Peak Vault... stay tuned.
- This is where the fun starts
