For those that follow my blog, here are some upcoming announcements and updates from behind the scenes at GraphLinq. The chat and team has been quiet recently but our GitHub repositories have been very active. Unfortunately, my hands are often tied where I can't make an announcement until the new partner is ready to announce. I know you guys are waiting for some updates so I'll give some updates here.

Top repositories on https://github.com/GraphLinq have all received updates recently. A lot of things are going on behind the scenes.

New Blockchains

The Avalanche Blockchain has been added to the IDE. This allows you to use a web socket connection to monitor for new Blocks and Transaction. We also added support for Avascan and SnowTrace. At the moment, we are in touch with these teams and working to see if we can do a cross-promotional post with their community to announce this new addition to the GraphLinq platform. Since Avascan and SnowTrace are not partnerships and just a cross-promotional post, there is a chance that these groups aren't interested in posting with us. But we will still announce the integration no matter what.

A connector for the Polygon network has been added and blocks for the QuickSwap Exchange. We will be announcing a partnership with QuickSwap once our teams finalize the announcement post text.

WIP (Work In Progress)

I've started work on an idea that was discussed in the Telegram Development chat a few times. It is called GraphLinq.ScrapperAPI in GitHub. The goal of this repository is to create an API service for our App and IDE that lets you quickly lookup token addresses, contract addresses, pair addresses, token names, etc. This service would be directly integrated into our App and IDE. The hope is to reduce the need of opening a new tab and leaving our site to get this information. There is no estimated date of when or if this will be integrated. It's kind of a side project that I'm working on because I think it will be useful.

Documentation and 2022 Roadmap

I've upgraded the Documentation code to a newer version and I'm in the final stages of putting together a roadmap for 2022. Once the roadmap is finalized by the team, we will upgrade the documentation website with the new version and roadmap. I know you guys are asking for this one....

Translations

The translation files for the GraphLinq website have been added to a new repository called GraphLinq.Locales and if you would like to add a translation for your language there are instructions included there.

New Blockchain

We are working very hard to get a testnet up and running for us all to play around with. This is a top priority for the team. Our goal is a layer zero blockchain which is considered an Application Specific Blockchain (ASBC).

Other

Code Refactoring has been done on some of the repositories. While you guys don't see any change from this, it's a good practice to keep our code clean, lean, and mean.

Experimental Ideas - I have two ideas that are in the very early stage of seeing if these can be added to the GraphLinq IDE. No information on these will be released until they are launched.

Marketing - Marketing budget incoming and will ramp up with the new releases that are coming out....
