Nov 1, 2025November 2025 — Towns protocol: Delivered WalletLink enhancements to simplify wallet selection, strengthen linking security, and broaden wallet compatibility. Implemented a getter/setter for the default wallet, updated the linking API to accept Address over Signer, and introduced nonce-based signature generation for wallet linking. These changes reduce onboarding friction, improve security posture, and lay groundwork for future wallet integrations across the Towns protocol.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 monthly performance summary for developer work on towns. Focused on strengthening user security, moderation reliability, and pricing logic through targeted refactors, tests, and feature work in the Towns repository. Key features delivered: - Caller Wallet Unlinking in SpaceDapp: added functionality to unlink a caller's wallet from a SpaceDapp, introduced a new test, and implemented removeCallerLink in WalletLink to remove a caller's wallet from the linked wallets list. (Commit: 1c3381f3ecd12584a9fa0821aed4c5178f4bd3fe; PR #1444) Major bugs fixed: - Channel entitlement fix for ModifyBanning: refactored banning permission to Permission.ModifyBanning and corrected entitlement checks so space-level ModifyBanning permissions correctly allow kicking users from channels. (Commit: 8cf0b8f8776e2fa24ef58feb3497201259a71579; PR #1436) - Dynamic pricing module detection reliability: refactored findDynamicPricingModule to independently check for TIERED_PRICING_ORACLE_V3 and V2, eliminating the bug where the first match was always returned. (Commit: dbf1bec34ade7b46904aa660ba47b8c0bda01831; PR #1615) Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened security and user control in SpaceDapp wallet management, reducing risk of incorrect wallet link state. - Improved moderation reliability and policy enforcement, reducing channel abuse risk. - Increased pricing correctness and resilience of dynamic pricing logic, lowering revenue/market risk. - Added and relied on targeted tests for critical wallet operations, improving maintainability and confidence during deployments. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Smart contract refactoring, permission model design, and wallet management patterns. - Test-driven development and test coverage for critical wallet functionality. - Code quality improvements through isolated module checks and reliability fixes. - Effective cross-functional collaboration evidenced by linked commits and issue references. Business value: - Delivers tangible improvements to user experience, security, and pricing accuracy, enabling safer interactions in SpaceDapp and more reliable pricing for dynamic modules.
