July 2025 – Cake Wallet (cake-tech/cake_wallet): Implemented a major API integration update for the Chainflip exchange provider, upgrading to the new endpoints for quotes and swaps. The changes revise the swap quote path and incorporate new parameters (numberOfChunks, chunkIntervalBlocks) into swap requests, plus a refined selection algorithm to consistently use the highest quote. This work aligns the wallet with external API updates, improving pricing accuracy, swap reliability, and resilience to upstream changes, ultimately delivering faster, more competitive trades for users.

Month: 2025-01 — Summary of work on shapeshift/web focusing on feature delivery, bug fixes, business value, and technical achievements. Key features delivered: - Chainflip Swap Retry Timing Alignment: Aligned retry behavior with the main Chainflip UI by increasing the default retryDurationInBlocks from 10 to 150 to ensure consistent swap retries across the app. This change reduces cross-component discrepancies and improves user experience during Chainflip swaps. Commit: bf7ed3f38ed0b46ecaf322cfa4f2bdf40c69b4fb (fix: bring retry duration in line with main chainflip UI (#8470)). Major bugs fixed: - Fixed misalignment of retry timing between shapeshift/web and the main Chainflip UI, addressing an inconsistency that could lead to unreliable retries. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Consistent swap retry behavior across frontend and backend, leading to more reliable Chainflip transactions and fewer user-facing failures. - Improved user trust and reduced support tickets related to swap retries. - Demonstrated end-to-end alignment work between UI and underlying retry logic, reducing fragmentation in swap flows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - TypeScript/JavaScript engineering, Git versioning and commit discipline, cross-team collaboration for UI-logic alignment, and effective change management through a focused PR.

Delivered two high-impact updates to shapeshift/web in December 2024, focusing on reliability, automation, and user visibility for Chainflip-based swaps. A clearer minimum-sell error reduces user confusion, while Chainflip DCA support enables scheduled automated swaps and real-time progress UI. The work includes a refactor of the swapper to support DCA and new status/quote models, paving the way for scalable automated trading and improved business outcomes.
