Alien Base

**ALB 2.0 Contract Migration Progress** Development continues on the core migration contracts for ALB 2.0, following the finalized specifications from previous weeks. **Key Updates:** - Implementation work ongoing across migration contract components - Mothership strategy showing strong performance signals - Migration infrastructure development progressing as planned The team is working through the technical components defined in the migration spec, building out the contract architecture that will enable ALB token holders to transition to the new version.

The development team resolved several critical issues this week: - **Fixed ALB zapping bug**: Community-reported issue where deposits into the esALB vault were recording incorrect amounts has been resolved - **Precision errors eliminated**: Large vault deposits now match exactly what users input on-chain - **Improved transaction handling**: Rejected batch transactions automatically fall back to individual processing instead of throwing errors - **Performance optimizations**: Reduced chart API calls and optimized token balance fetching for faster, more reliable portfolio data The team is currently investigating why balances don't refresh immediately after swaps or triggered orders.

**Alien Base is gearing up for a major platform upgrade** with two significant developments: **ALB 2.0 Contract Migration** - Migration timeline set for 1-2 weeks after Epsilon launch - No fixed end date for the migration period - New contract specifications finalized - First draft of migration contracts completed **Epsilon UX/UI Redesign** - Complete swap form redesign with new layout - Updated review widget with enhanced information pills - Detailed audit icons added to review screens - Design iterations based on user testing and product feedback The platform is refining the user experience before the official rollout.

**Epsilon nears beta launch** with final preparations underway: - **Enhanced routing**: 0x aggregator added alongside OpenOcean for better price competition - **Security upgrade**: Order execution engine infrastructure strengthened - **Real-time alerts**: Instant notifications when orders fill or cancel - **Visual tracking**: Live trigger lines on charts show order positions relative to current price - **USD display**: Open orders table now shows position values in USD - **Order types ready**: Limit orders, DCA, and trailing stops functional for whitelisted tokens The team will checkpoint early next week to determine beta readiness. Epsilon remains the immediate priority.

**Chart Infrastructure Upgrade** The platform migrated candle chart data to Codex, resolving rate limit issues and improving reliability. Navigation improvements now preserve token selections across views, eliminating chart flicker. **UX Enhancements** - Token permit support enables gasless approvals where available, removing transaction steps - Direct swap shortcuts added with USD input option - ETH balance now visible in portfolio section **Mothership Development** Strategy foundation complete after weeks of iteration. Team focusing on optimization once Epsilon wraps. Bunni contract preparation scheduled post-migration, with audit and deployment timeline TBD.

Alien Base is preparing to launch **Epsilon**, a major platform upgrade focused on advanced trading capabilities. **Key Features Coming to Epsilon:** - Advanced order types for sophisticated trading strategies - Redesigned swap interface for improved user experience - Portfolio tracking tools The team plans a checkpoint early next week to determine if Epsilon is ready for **Beta testing**. This follows weeks of intensive development, including: - Completion of audit with all critical findings resolved - First successful end-to-end transaction testing - UX improvements based on user feedback Epsilon represents the team's primary focus before shifting attention back to the **ALB 2.0 token migration** and Mothership platform updates. The migration will allow users to convert existing ALB, esALB, and esLP tokens to new versions with a 1:1 ratio through dedicated migration contracts.

Epsilon has completed a major technical milestone with its order execution engine rebuilt in Go, prioritizing speed and reliability. The platform is now production-ready and scalable. **Key Updates:** - Full backend deployment complete with all order tracking, matching, and execution capabilities in place - Frontend integration progressing smoothly - Audit planning underway with selected auditor - Beta testing preparations beginning with focus on community involvement and quality feedback The team continues development despite challenging market conditions.

**Design Progress** - New APR calculator iterations underway - Epsilon designs handed over to development team - Final design details being finalized **Tokenomics Update** - First tokenomics draft shared with council and DAO - Team collecting feedback and aligning on next steps - Broader community proposal expected next week to begin governance process The platform continues refining its user experience while advancing its economic model through collaborative governance.

The team completed comprehensive testing of the Mothership flow, examining vault creation, modules, factory operations, and liquidity management for potential edge cases. Test scenarios are being documented while specifications are being prepared for frontend implementation. **Key Progress:** - Mothership contracts tested end-to-end - Search initiated for official audit partners - Backtesting infrastructure established, pending refinement - Translator interface in development for cross-strategy data handling The focus now shifts to documentation and preparing technical specifications to enable frontend integration of the new vault system.

**Partnership Progress** Alien Base has made significant progress on liquidity pool partnerships, declining one of three proposals while advancing the remaining two. The team needs to send updated terms for one partnership and review a received proposal for the other, targeting final decisions next week. **Security Infrastructure** After multiple evaluation calls, the team has identified a preferred security monitoring tool and is scheduling a demo to validate compatibility before implementation. **System Status** Current systems remain operational with vaults entering beta phase. The Base ecosystem continues expanding with new strategic alliances forming across the network.
