Veriscope Change Log

Releases

v3.6.0 | 2023-Mar-07 | Support for Multiple Trust Anchors

github.com/ShyftNetwork/veriscope/pull/81

Veriscope now supports multiple trust anchors (MTAs) thus enabling VASPs and Service Providers to deploy a single Veriscope instance and run multiple trust anchor accounts. To learn more, check-out our docs on Multiple Trust Anchors.

To upgrade from an earlier version of Veriscope, run the following commands:

// pull the latest code
cd /opt/veriscope
git pull
cd /opt/veriscope/veriscope_ta_node
npm install
cd /opt/veriscope/veriscope_ta_dashboard
npm install
cd /opt/veriscope/veriscope_ta_dashboard
php artisan migrate
npm run dev

v3.5.0 | 2023-Jan-30 | Node Synchronization Upgrade

github.com/ShyftNetwork/veriscope/pull/78

Several enhancements have been made to streamline how the Veriscope Relay Node (upgraded to Nethermind v1.15.0 as part of this release) synchronizes data from the Shyft Blockchain and how corresponding events are saved to Veriscope. Events in this context are Verified Trust Anchors, Discovery Layer Key Value Pairs, and Attestations all of which are saved to each Veriscope instance.

The expected time for the above processes to complete is now between 4-6 hours, down from 12+hrs before.

For more information, please refer to our note on Node Synchronization.

To learn more about the proofs, please visit Veriscope Address Proofs and/or contact your Veriscope representative.

2022-Aug-31 | Sandbox Environment (aka Robot VASPs)

github.com/ShyftNetwork/veriscope/pull/66

The Sandbox Environment enables VASPS to conduct end-to-end tests as either an oVASP or bVASP without having to coordinate with another node. As such, VASPs no-longer need to run multiple nodes or to coordinate with the Veriscope integration team when testing their flows.

This will save developers a significant amount of time when integrating the Veriscope API and webhook events into their backend server.

For more information, please refer to the Sandbox Environment section of the docs.

2022-Aug-31 | PR65: Removed deprecated Veriscope UI views and functions

github.com/ShyftNetwork/veriscope/pull/65

The Manager Users and Attestation Admin sections of the Versicope dashboard have been removed. These were initially added to illustrate how a VASP could post an attestation (/end-user withdrawal request) to the Shyft network, however, were a constant source of confusion given the need to create a random user(s) for demo purposes.

Veriscope doesn’t store end-user data and attestations should be posted via the Veriscope API. The Veriscope The Veriscope Postman Collection is the preferred & recommended interface to post test attestations.

In addition to the above:

  • Register Jurisdiction has been removed from Manage Organziation

  • UI error messages have been improved

2022-Aug-31 | PR64: Synchronous refresh of blockchain data by block number

github.com/ShyftNetwork/veriscope/pull/64

Synchronous refresh fixes the issue of nodes being out-of-sync after coming back online. VASPs no-longer need to trigger a refresh after being offline for a period of time.

2022-Aug-31 | PR63: Elliptic Blockchain Analytics

github.com/ShyftNetwork/veriscope/pull/63

Veriscope now supports Elliptic Crypto Wallet Screening.

2022-Jun-06 | PR62: State Machine V1

github.com/ShyftNetwork/veriscope/pull/62

Hi Everyone. I am pleased to share with you the latest Veriscope release. This is our largest release since launching on mainnet and includes several key enhancements requested by VASPs during their integration testing phase.

This release introduces the following capabilities:

  • oVASPs can send encrypted KYC/IVMS data along with their signature data

  • Both oVASP and bVASP can accept or reject an IVMS transfer

  • VASPs can subscribe to several new webhook events that trigger an action/response on their side, e.g. when signature data or KYC/IVMS data is requested and when encrypted IVMS data is received or has been accepted. With the webhook events there is no-longer a need for polling statuses.

This is a breaking release and is not compatible with previous versions of Veriscope. As such, it is required for VASPs to upgrade to this version prior to going live on mainnet.

If you have integrated with a previous version of Veriscope, you will need to a) Upgrade to this release b) Delete existing KYC templates, and c) Implement logic to handle new webhook events & statuses

To upgrade, run the following commands:

// pull the latest code
$ pwd
/opt/veriscope
$ git pull

// delete existing KYC templates
$ pwd
/opt/veriscope/veriscope_ta_dashboard
$ php artisan tinker

2022-Feb-11 | PR34" Minor release to improve the generation of the KYC Template

github.com/ShyftNetwork/veriscope/pull/34

Hi Everyone, minor release here. To improve the generation of the KYC Template, TA and User public keys, signatures and signature hashes are now created by nodejs instead of passing the private key from the webapp.

When you load in the TA account, the public key, signature and signature hash are created from nodejs and passed to the webapp.

Further when generating random users for testing, a public key, signature and signature hash is provided by nodejs the same.

To see this update in the webapp please run this following after pulling in the PR

$ pwd
/opt/veriscope/veriscope_ta_dashboard
$ npm run development

Also please restart NodeJS:

sudo systemctl restart ta-node-1 ta-node-2
