[open discussion] Does anyone have experience using viem?

[arthurgousset]

Thanks for chiming in here @jxom ! Appreciate the updates.
Out of curiosity, can I ask how you found this Github Discussion?
Do you use some form of "viem" search across Github?

[jxom]

Lol yep! 😂

[arthurgousset]

Love it 😄 @jxom what's the tool (how do you do it) if you don't mind sharing?
Very interested in doing something similar!

[jxom]

Just GitHub search at the top of page!

[arthurgousset]

Ah, that makes sense :) I recently saw that Github had "advanced search" and a new Github search API so I thought it might be something fancy like that.

[update] Native safe launch at app.safe.global

[Multisig] Native Safe launch (migration guidance)

[arthurgousset]

Meeting notes:

• Jean was interested in adding Safe in the dapplist in Valora (there is an error message that warns that only Metamask is supported, when actually WalletConnect works well).
• Next step: Connect Jean with uxiof at Safe.

[releases]

• @celo/contracts has source code of all core contracts
• new @celo/abis has ABI (JSON) and TS types for core contracts
• @celo/contractkit has new core contracts release 9 changes

[arthurgousset]

Meeting notes:

• Charlie:
  • can be tricky to use generic EVM libraries on Celo because they don't support fee currency by default
  • Charlie set up automatic releases using semantic-release in Valora (used it in open source fiatconnect repo). It's been very useful because there are more community contributions. Also use renovate set up which manages downstream dependencies.
• Jean:
  • Sometimes long delay between PRs merged and NPM releases. For example with contractkit changes.
• Ask: Import only specific ABIs instead of importing all ABIs.

Discussion about usefulness of the meeting:

• generally very useful re being in the loop about what happens at cLabs, hear about concerns from others. Maybe we need to advertise it more.
• we need a regular touch point, but we could scale it up/down depending on need, maybe we need to do more advertising. It's like the coffee machine meeting.
• sending out an agenda in advance could be useful ("Hey, we are talking about these things, join if you're interested"). If you attend and don't know what you get out of it.

Getting some feedback on upcoming account abstraction for EVM blockchains (ref: https://docs.celo.org/blog/tutorials/erc-4337-overview-protocol#goals-and-benefits-of-erc-4337)

Meeting notes:

• Jean: Valora used MetaTransactionWallet.sol to automate decentralised phone number verification in the early days. It came with a lot of complexity and has been removed slowly over time. This was very use case specific.
• Arthur: Safe {core} has very interesting AA SDKs
• Frederic: Interesting "gas bootstrap" problem that AA might solve with relayers. E.g. receiving cUSD but not having CELO for gas.
