V1.2a
Alpha Log #3 - V1.2a

Alpha Log #3

As we gear up to bring White Walls to a more public audience, we have taken a good bit of time to re-optimize some previously released features. But, what fun would an update be if it was just about how we made a few old things better? Today we're excited to release our largest update to the infrastructure since Day 1, which will finally allow you to access those vaulted assets you've been dreaming about viewing in your space! Let's get into it.

The v1.2a update focuses on security and infrastructure:

MULTIPLE WALLET SUPPORT

At long last, you can now connect multiple ETH wallets from either your Assets page wallet dropdown or directly from your wallet settings.

WALLET SECURITY

Where we previously maintained an active connection to your wallet, we have rebuilt this process with security in mind. Now, when you verify ownership of a wallet via logging in, we immediately switch to a read-only view of that wallet, pair it with your White Walls account, and disconnect from it entirely.

This not only enhances security, but also the user-friendliness of the overall experience. A big step in the right direction!

DELEGATE (v2) ACCESS

Now, for the main event! We know everybody has been eager to access the incredible work they have vaulted safely in cold storage. Now, when adding any wallet to White Walls, we automatically check for any Delegate wallets that may be associated with the connected wallet and add them to your account by default! Delegate wallets will have a Delegate logo badge so you know which is which.

This furthers our initiative to build with security in mind, and hopefully will heighten the experience for every user as they bring their most coveted assets to their living spaces.

LAYED GROUNDWORK FOR MULTI-CHAIN SUPPORT

This has not yet been rolled out, but all wallet infrastructure work has been done with future support of additional chains in mind. This is wildly exciting and we can't wait to experiment more with SOL, BTC, and XTZ.

RE-OPTIMIZATION

After releasing a majority of the features, we often look back and re-build with the intent of optimizing them further. This past few weeks has been a solid effort to prepare as many of our core viewing features for Beta as possible.

You can expect to see improvements to:

  • GIFs: Rebuilt the entire gif support flow from the ground up.
  • Info Panel: Fixed character counts, offset, and placement of the Info Panels
  • Fit/Fill: Adjusted sizing, offset, and borders for fit/fill across most token sizes
  • Vertical Orientation: Adjusted sizing, offset, and borders for vertical and vertical inverted

We're rapidly preparing for Beta where we will make White Walls more publicly accessible. We've got a few more exciting features and fixes planned before we get there, but we're closer than we've ever been.

Please have some fun enjoying Delegate access and make sure to share some incredible photos as you appreciate your favorite vaulted pieces!
