Introduction

Two weeks ago, we announced the release of MCD v0.2.2 on the Kovan testnet. The release was met with great response from the community! Thank you to everyone who tested and provided feedback.

As promised in the announcement, updates will be posted here as we continue testnet releases on our road to the mainnet release of the Multi-Collateral Dai core contracts and their interaction with Maker core products and tools. As we progress, our goal is to be as transparent as possible with the community and consistently clarify the scope of releases.

This post provides an update on the second release, MCD v0.2.3, the details of which include development updates to the following areas: 

• Core Contracts
• Governance Process (Deployed)

User Interface Changes

Governance Dashboard

• Improved on-boarding process by incorporating the Maker UI components library, and guiding vote proxy setup more intuitively.
• Added the ability to vote with a single wallet without a vote proxy.
• Kovan MCD contracts and tokens are now added from the client using the SDK addContracts feature.
• Updated Kovan MCD addresses for latest contract deployment.
• Various bug fixes.

Release Details

CDP Portal 

• App navigation tweaks (such as the left nav bar now displays CDPs owned by you).
• The CDP details now reveal the real data of your CDP (Note that some of the data exists as placeholders).
• Enabled users to connect to the CDP portal with new wallets, such as Ledger and Trezor.
• CDP Page improvements.
• CDP Actions initial implementation.
• SDK Updates.
• Dashboard UI improvements.

Release Details

Dai.js

• Pause was added as part of the ‘Governance Security Module.’ Pause works by adding a time delay from when a spell is lifted to become the hat until the point it can be ‘cast’ (otherwise referred to being executed). As per this release, Pause will implement a 5-minute delay.
• Note that Pause will only affect the Governance UI, in that the Governance votes cannot be cast until the time has passed. 
• Since the DAI token is a regular ERC20, there are no changes on the frontend side of its development. 
• Fixed a bug in the GasService that caused incorrect gas prices to be included with transactions.
• Note: The master branch is the most updated version of the contracts.
