This report summarizes the key development contributions and progress made by PIVX Labs across various projects, with a focus on enhancements to wallet functionality, synchronization efficiency, and supporting tools.

MyPIVXWallet (MPW)
Implemented a fix to ensure webpack builds compatibility with newer Node versions.
PR #609

MPW Tauri
MPW Tauri is the native desktop and mobile version of MyPIVXWallet, built using the Tauri framework — the same one powering the Vector application. This enables lightweight, fast, and secure native installations: downloadable installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as APK files for Android.

Once complete, users will be able to install and run MPW directly on their devices. Distribution through official app stores (e.g., Google Play or Apple App Store) remains a separate challenge, requiring formal legal frameworks or delegated publishing.

Significant improvements were made to enhance user experience, synchronization speed, and development efficiency:

  • Updated Italian language translations for improved localization support.
    PR #39

  • Extended wallet functionality to support multiple accounts.
    PR #40

  • Added estimated time of arrival (ETA) display to the synchronization progress bar.
    PR #41

  • Introduced a development script to simultaneously run the MPW development server and the Tauri application.
    PR #42

  • Ensured [PRoper termination of the pivxd process upon receiving a shutdown event.
    PR #43

  • Optimized shield synchronization by utilizing the binary shield syncer.
    PR #44

  • Configured GitHub Actions to export Tauri bundles as workflow artifacts.
    PR #45

  • Implemented automatic downloading of blockchain checkpoints.
    PR #46

  • Made checkpoint handling asynchronous to avoid blocking file downloads to disk.
    PR #47

  • Added logic to skip checkpoint downloads when existing synchronization data is present.
    PR #48

  • Adjusted checkpoint download timing to occur after explorer instance creation.
    PR #49

  • Resolved Cargo Clippy warnings for improved code quality.
    PR #51

  • Updated synchronization progress to reflect checkpoint download status.
    PR #50

  • Enhanced the frontend loading bar to display the checkpoint downloading state.
    PR #52

Blockbook Explorer

  • Improved parsing of Sapling transaction bytes specific to the PIVX cryptocurrency implementation.
    PR #1361

Vector Bot SDK

  • Reorganized the example repository by adding a dedicated groups folder containing an initial group-based bot implementation and restructuring other examples for clearer organization.
    Repository

  • Continued development on group support features (MLS groups branch). Substantial effort was dedicated to research and implementation, with the current beta work available for review on the feature branch.
    Feature Branch

PivCards

  • Addressed and resolved several backend issues. Impact on users was minimal, and all identified problems have been fully patched and stabilized.

These updates demonstrate steady progress in enhancing wallet performance, privacy features, and supporting infrastructure, reinforcing PIVX Labs’ commitment to robust and user-friendly tools for the ecosystem.
