Rena Dev Report #29 — V2

4 min readSep 28, 2023

Significant strides have been made in improving the functionality and user interface of the Rena dApp’s front end. During this development phase, the Rena team prioritized enhancements across its three primary functionalities: rGov, rStaking, and rBonds. Each section saw specific advancements that aimed to enrich the user experience and bring the protocol closer to Beta launch.

The development team also collaborated with a video producer to create a teaser video showcasing the Rena dApp in anticipation of Beta Launch. This process involved onboarding the contractor, allowing limited view access to the protocol and tying up loose ends on the front end to help provide excellent visuals for the video which was successfully produced, iterated and released.

As well, the Rena V2 solidity smart contracts were submitted for audit to SourceHat (formerly Solidity.finance), the results were received, code updates were submitted and subsequently the code base passed the audit. This a massive step forward and the team is highly pleased with the results and grateful to SourceHat for doing such a great job.
