Introduction

Metaverse is a public blockchain project that aims to provide decentralized services based on digital assets, digital identity and value intermediaries in order to build an open ecosystem in which digital value can be freely circulated.

Fortnight in Review

Development

**Light Wallet Development Progress** Metaverse has officially released a light wallet beta at https://www.myetpwallet.com/. The wallet is an SPV client and is accessible through your browser. Unlike the full node wallet, the Light Wallet does not require users to sync the entire blocks and has a simple user interface that allows users to easily manage their digital assets while on-the-go. **Metaverse full-node wallet** Enhancement of MVSD, Metaverse’s full-node wallet, continues. The following changes have been developed: - Added an offline transaction signing function. This function is unavailable through the MVSD GUI; it is only available for createrawtx/signrawtx/decoderawtx/sendrawtx RPC calls. - Accounts are no longer created when users input incorrect mnemonic words - Fixed issues with deposit unfreezing estimate date - Optimized performance of the getnewaddress RPC call. Irrelevant to the MVSD GUI. - Add locked_height_range fields during transaction output of RPC calls to recognize the stored transaction **Metaverse Official Website Redesign** Metaverse has redesigned its official website. Two pages have been added: Metaverse Foundation and Development Documents. Please visit the official website at: https://mvs.org ; all related development documents can be found at: http://docs.mvs.org/docs/ ;
