In this article, we’ll walk you through our collective journey within Kadena’s extensive open-source ecosystem. We’ll share insights and experiences from across our team who are actively engaged in different projects. Although we have numerous projects underway, this article will focus on Kadena Client, Chainweb Stream, Kadena Tools, and our new Kadena React UI Components.

Whether you’re already familiar with Kadena or just learning about it for the first time, the Kadena Tech Bulletin provides a short technical overview of how we are revolutionizing the industry one block at a time. From Pact and Chainweb to how we are refining our builder onboarding process, we’ll be providing our community of builders and developers with all the updates and tools to help grow and scale the entire ecosystem.

I knew I had a tough challenge ahead when I joined the Kadena team in April 2022 with the goal of creating a unique Dev Experience team. I was new to crypto and had to learn the ins-and- outs of a wildly complicated industry. I also knew I could bring great value because of my extensive engineering background and passion for front-end development.

We have been steadily growing an all-star team as our team needed to be up to par with our all-star core Haskellers at Kadena. We currently have a team of 7 developers working on dev experience, which will grow to 12 by the end of the year. Growing this team this fast already points out the importance of the developer experience for Kadena. There is a lot of great stuff coming to our ecosystem, so fasten your seatbelt because next year will be like “The Fast and the Furious — K-orbit” 🚀!!

We are thrilled to announce that PactNumber is now released in Kadena.js. What is PactNumber and how is it used? PactNumber is a typescript class that provides useful number functions for frontend builders to generate Pact Code conveniently with accuracy. In this article, we’ll take a look at the use of numbers in KDA transfer functions and introduce the usage of PactNumber.

We’re on the verge of a new and improved front-end experience at Kadena! It’s time to let the community in on how our innovation network, Kadena Eco, is turbocharging R&D efforts to improve our front-end ecosystem and what lies ahead in the coming months. Because we believe that our community members can best help us when they are informed. So along with developing a stellar new front end, another key job is keeping our community apprised every step of the way.
