October 2025 focused on strengthening offramp reliability, cost transparency, and cross-chain fee correctness for the bob project. Implemented gas cost estimation with necessary token allowances and balances in quote flows, and added LayerZero gas estimation to improve cross-chain swap cost visibility. Hardened offramp order creation by defaulting missing address parameters to prevent failures. In parallel, simplified the cross-chain fee model by removing gasFee from the fee breakdown, correcting presentation and reducing user confusion. These changes enhance end-user trust, reduce order failures, and support clearer, data-driven decision-making for on/off-ramp and cross-chain activity.
