Retroactive Grant Application - Gleyo

It’s been a tough one on the infrastructure side. Our VPS running the Zcash node and wallet API went down unexpectedly, which meant shielded withdrawals on Gleyo were briefly unavailable. We moved quickly to get everything back online, rebuilt the node infrastructure, restored the wallet, and reconnected everything to Gleyo’s backend. Withdrawals are fully working again.

While we were in there, we also shipped two fixes that had been flagged by users:

  • Fixed a withdrawal connectivity issue that was intermittently affecting the wallet infrastructure.
  • Fixed transaction history to show the actual balance instead of an approximated one, so the numbers users see are now accurate.

Not the smoothest week, but we came out of it with more resilient infrastructure than we had going in, and two real bugs closed out along the way.

Now that things are stable again, we’re shifting focus to iterating on what we learned from the Proof of Privacy campaign, improving reliability, onboarding, and the edge cases that only show up once real communities are using the platform at scale. Our focus going forward is on improving the platform for communities and making Gleyo much easier for communities to use independently.

Still early, still building.
