🆕 Major zkBob Releases
ZkBob is made up of multiple components. In the latest release on January 2nd, updates were made to the relayer (v2.2.0), UI (v1.0.0), and JS library (v1.2.1). These updates included an integration with Li.Fi, support for ID functionality, and faster sync. For more information on the upgrades and how they improve zkBob functionality, see the release notes at https://docs.zkbob.com/resources/release-notes/january-2-2023.
New releases are occurring on a regular basis as we continue to make improvements to the application. The next release is scheduled on Monday, January 16th at 12:00 UTC. The upgrade can take several hours, though it is typically much faster. During that time zkBob will not be available. We will send out a reminder before the update.
🔐 Security Audit Completed
ChainSecurity delivered their final audit report on January 5, 2023 covering the zkBobPool, BOBToken, and BobVault contracts along with relevant dependencies. We worked closely with the ChainSecurity team to address potential issues and are happy to report we’ve corrected or accepted risks for all findings from the report.
Based on the findings the working governance group has updated and released v1.0.0 of the BOB and zkBob protocol contracts. For more information on this multi-sig process and what updates were completed, see this post in the zkBob docs.
