Temple Wallet Update (v. 2.0.13)

We are rolling out a significant update that elevates the user experience for both the loyal Tezos community and the expanding EVM ecosystem. This latest version introduces powerful new features, including seamless cross-chain swaps for Etherlink tokens, a robust rewards program, and critical performance enhancements. Get ready for a faster, more versatile, and rewarding DeFi journey.

Significant Enhancements: More Power, More Chains

This update is packed with significant features designed to provide a more stable, functional, and interconnected experience.

Bulletproof Connectivity with Tezos RPC Optimization

Users can now enjoy uninterrupted access to the Tezos network at all times. We have upgraded the wallet with an intelligent Tezos RPC node optimization. If the default node experiences downtime, the system will automatically switch to a healthy endpoint. This behind-the-scenes improvement ensures your connection to the Tezos blockchain is more resilient and reliable than ever before.

Expanded Trading with LetsExchange Integration

We have integrated the LetsExchange hub directly into Temple Wallet's DApps section. This powerful addition functions as a DEX aggregator, allowing users to find the best rates and swap a vast array of cryptocurrencies. This integration streamlines the trading process and unlocks a world of new assets for Temple users.

Seamless Swaps and Bridges for Etherlink Tokens

Interacting with the Etherlink ecosystem is now easier than ever. The update enables swaps and bridges for Etherlink tokens directly within the Temple Wallet. This feature enables seamless asset transfers between Etherlink and other networks, enhancing liquidity and convenience for users of this emerging Tezos L2 solution.

Introducing the Upgraded Advanced Features Activity & Rewards System

We are launching an enhanced system to reward its users. Key changes include:

• A Dedicated "Rewards Account": A primary account of your wallet will now be designated for all reward payouts.
• Automatic Setup: For existing users, the first account in your wallet will become your non-deletable Rewards Account. For new users, it will be the first account you create or import.
• Centralized Payouts: Starting next month, all rewards from advanced feature activities, such as engaging with ads or promotional content, will be distributed directly to this Rewards Account. This creates a clear and simple way to track the benefits you earn.

Greater Flexibility for Developers

To better support developers building on Tezos and EVM chains, Temple has adjusted its validation for adding RPC endpoint URLs. The wallet now permits the addition of URLs without SSL/TLS security protocols. This change allows developers to easily connect Temple to their local testnets and custom RPCs for streamlined development and testing.

Side Panel Mode Arrives for Brave Browser

Following its availability on Chrome, the convenient side panel mode is now officially supported in the Brave browser. Brave users can now access their Temple Wallet from a fixed side panel, making it easier to manage assets and interact with DApps while browsing.

Smarter Promo Tracking

The promotional activity tracking system has been improved to include country-specific data. This backend enhancement will allow for more precise and relevant promotional content and rewards for users around the globe.

Minor, Yet Mighty: UI & UX Refinements

A series of thoughtful user experience and interface improvements have been implemented to make your interactions smoother and more intuitive.

Clearer Connection Confirmation

The DApp connection confirmation screen has been redesigned. Users can now more clearly see that they have the option to switch accounts at this stage.

Always-Visible Fees

On the transaction confirmation page, the required network fee is now permanently visible, eliminating the need to scroll down to see transaction costs.

Polished Pop-Up UI

The external confirmation pop-up has been updated, with the removal of a gray line at the top of the page for a sleeker appearance.

Tezos Token Display Fix

An issue where Tezos tokens were sometimes hidden in the swap section when the "All networks" filter was applied has been resolved.

Network Addition Bug Fixed

An error that could occur when interacting with DApps after adding a new network to Temple has been fixed, ensuring a more stable experience.
