Thank you for the delivery, Amar. We will look into it as soon as possible.

Thanks again for the delivery. I quickly looked into it and everything seems to work. However, the UI only provides an overview of the current staking initiatives and doesn’t actually let you participate in the staking. Is this on-purpose? I know the deliveries were unspecific in the contract, but I would have expected that you can also stake via the UI.

OK, we will add this functionality, but it will require another 2 weeks. I'll let you know as soon as it is done.

Our perspective was that the deliverable needed to display meaningful statistics to educate user staking through whatever custom UI is provided by the implementation. For moonbeam/moonriver, we prefer users use the staking dapp provided by PureStake (https://apps.moonbeam.network/moonriver).

[Noc2]

Thanks for the quick reply. I think it would be beneficial if you add it directly to the UI. Alternatively you could also link to your own staking dapp, to at least inform users about how they can participate.

@4meta5 any updates?

[4meta5]

@alxs We decided to add the delegate feature to the UI dashboard but it is currently in progress and will be done soon. Our best TS dev @joelamouche is working on it. He was busy with tasks for Moonbeam launch, but is back on this now.

[alxs]

@4meta5 @joelamouche checking in again. Could you provide an ETA?

[crystalin]

@alxs Sorry, @joelamouche is not working on this project anymore.
Our team took over and I believe it is close to completion. Let me come back you today

[purestaketdb]

I am onboarding @fxgamundi to the project this week, he'll need to get up to speed on the Polkadot.js libraries but is the developer on our own staking dapp. I'll have more clarity about timelines next week. Note, basic staking is working but the pallet was extended in December and those changes need to be rolled in.

[alxs]

Thanks @crystalin @purestaketdb, sounds good. Please keep us posted.

[fgamundi]

Hi! Nice to meet everyone. I'm currently working on this and will be able to provide an update on the status and an ETA later in the week.

[Noc2]

Perfect. Thanks for the update

[fgamundi]

Hey! Progress is going well and we should have a it ready for review by the end of next week.

[Noc2]

That’s great to hear.

[fgamundi]

We're doing a final internal review before submitting the updated code. We'll follow with the PR later today

[Noc2]

Sounds good. It’s not super urgent. I’m currently sick (covid) and can not work much anyway ;-)

[fgamundi]

Sorry to hear that, get better! In that case I will take some additional time to clean a couple of things.

[fgamundi]

Hi! The PR for the parachain staking page is up! polkadot-js/apps#7275. This PR replaces the previous one.

[Noc2]

Sorry for the late reply here. I’m happy to tell you that the milestone is a pass and thanks for all the extra effort you put into this. I will forward your invoice internally.

[meldien]

Hi all, is it possible to update the invoice date?

[4meta5]

@Noc2 @meldien the invoice was submitted via the google form from what I remember? would you like us to submit a new invoice via the google form?

[meldien]

@4meta5 @Noc2 yes that would be great if you can submit a new invoice during google form. because the date is from 2021 and the approval are done in 2022.

[meldien]

@4meta5 any update?

[4meta5]

@meldien we have assigned the task of sending the new invoice to someone else internally and will submit it soon cc @crystalin

[fededubbi]

Federica
