Polkadot-API updates thread

Tech Talk

Hello community :waving_hand:

We’re excited to share that polkadot-api@0.8.0 was released on May 30, 2024 :tada:. This update is fully compatible with previous versions, so we encourage all PAPI users to upgrade soon!

Updates

This week brought several enhancements:

  • We’ve further refined our documentation, particularly the events and tx sections.
  • We’ve added support for the CheckMetadataHash signed extension in PAPI, and the pjs-signer has been updated as well to accommodate this feature. Chains implementing this extension are now automatically supported in PAPI. For more insights, see this detailed post by @bkchr. This feature enhances security and safety, particularly for users of air-gapped signing solutions like Polkadot Vault or Ledger. A big thank you to everyone involved in this!
  • The blockNumber has been added to the tx payload, a direct response to feedback from our valued early adopters!

Decoded 2024 @ Brussels

We are pleased to announce our participation in this year’s Polkadot Decoded, where we will be presenting as well! It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet with fellow members of the ecosystem and some of our early adopters. We look forward to seeing you there! :rocket:

Enjoy your weekend!
