Introducing V2 of Canto’s Interface For its Free Public Infrastructure

Since the launch of Canto, the Plex team has been working on improvements for canto.io to provide a better user experience for the community. We've updated all Canto FPI frontends, including the pages for Bridge, LP, Lending, Staking, and Governance. To ensure that these updates meet the needs of the Canto community, we’ve gathered feedback from users and used this feedback to guide our improvements.

The following outlines some of the specific changes we’ve made.

Canto Bridge

  • The Convert Coin page has been deprecated.

    • We’ve merged the Covert Coin webpage and the Canto Bridge into a singular bridging interface, where users can bridge from Ethereum through the Canto Bridge, and into the Canto EVM on the same webpage.
  • A transactions tab has been added to track the status of funds that are being bridged.

    • Users will be able to see funds that are currently being bridged, and all funds of theirs that have been bridged in the past.
  • Capability to bridge directly to the Cosmos Hub.

    • Users can now use the Canto Bridge to bridge directly to the Cosmos Hub, and no longer need to use Gravity Bridge to send funds from Canto → Cosmos Hub.
  • Bridge In and Bridge Out are now individual tabs.

    • The direction of bridging is now two separate tabs, making the flow of assets increasingly clear.

Canto LP Interface

  • Supply LP tokens into the Canto Lending Market in the same modal as providing liquidity.

    • We’ve made it easier to earn rewards for providing liquidity, by allowing users to also supply the LP tokens they receive to the Canto Lending Market on the same modal.

Canto Lending Market

  • Rewards for supplying assets are now more clear.

    • Users can now more clearly see their accrued rewards from supplying in the Canto Lending Market.

Canto Staking

  • Search for validators by name.

    • Users can more quickly find any validator of their choice through a search bar on the validators tab.
  • Filter between active and inactive validators.

    • Users can now filter between active and inactive validators, and avoid accidentally delegating to validators that are no longer active.
  • Better overview of current staking positions.

    • All current staking positions are displayed under the “my staking” tab. Users can now view all validators they are currently staked to and in the process of undelegating from in one page.
  • Staking delegation modal includes separate tabs for delegating, undelegating, and redelegating Canto.

Canto Governance

  • Improved proposal voting experience.

    • Users can now see the impact their vote will have on the governance proposal, as well as an improved pie chart of the current voting status.

    • Proposal details are easier to view since they are now expanded further after being clicked.

Other than these specific changes, the frontends have also received changes in fonts and overall design for an enhanced experience.

We appreciate all of your feedback and will continue utilizing the community's feedback to improve Canto's FPI on an ongoing basis. Please feel free to report any feedback here.
