April 2026 — decentraland/auth: Mobile onboarding and production readiness improvements. Key deliveries: (1) Mobile Email-based Authentication with OTP: added a mobile-specific login modal and routing to reuse the existing Thirdweb OTP flow, enabling email-based login with OTP on mobile; backend validates the exact email and a fixed OTP, posts identity through the standard postIdentity path, with a transparent fallback to Thirdweb if the backend rejects the email. Included Apple test routing to support App Store review. Commits: 6233a07b6344e1637cf04b08f4496aab803a0a7a (feat on mobile flow). (2) Production-ready Mobile Backend URL Configuration: updated MOBILE_BFF_URL from localhost to a production URL to ensure reliable mobile backend connectivity; commit: ac89d9efceeb1be47ba7a248dca86987314f4387 (fix url). Benefits: improved mobile onboarding experience, consistent UX with desktop flow, enhanced security with OTP verification, reduced production risk, and smoother App Store review and deployment." ,

March 2026 monthly summary: Key deliveries include (1) Mobile Identity Creation and Authentication Reliability in decentraland/auth, fixing private-key handling, removing double-encoding, and adding mobile-owned identity utilities to pass viem keys directly. (2) OAuth2 Canary Dependency Update, upgrading @magic-ext/oauth2 to canary for experimental features and early fixes. (3) Platform Detection and Environment Tailoring in decentraland/js-sdk-toolchain, introducing a module with isMobile/isDesktop/isVR/isWeb helpers, error handling, and platform normalization.

July 2025 Performance Summary: Focused on reliability, rendering flexibility, and developer workflow improvements across three repos. Real-time synchronization reliability was significantly enhanced by introducing CRDT state chunking (12KB-safe chunks) to reduce update fragmentation. Rendering capability expanded with GLTFNodeModifiers and AvatarShape visibility controls, enabling more flexible scene and avatar visuals. Build tooling was optimized to avoid unnecessary rebuilds for non-TypeScript changes and to speed up development via debouncing and caching. In creator-hub, write_file updates for .crdt and .composite files were debounced to cut network traffic, and preview stability improvements were implemented to prevent termination on flag changes while improving deep-link handling. A new GLTF customization capability was introduced in protocol via the GltfNodeModifiers component, enabling richer entity rendering.
