• Like Tweets: Engage with the community by liking tweets.
• Scroll Through Feeds: Enjoy a seamless scrolling experience through the latest updates and discussions.

This integration aims to enhance user engagement and keep our community informed about the latest happenings in the BlockDAG ecosystem.

In addition to the BDAG posts integration, our team has been working tirelessly to improve the overall user experience of the BlockDAG X1 application. Our goal is to make the app smoother and more intuitive for our users.
Upcoming Features and Enhancements
We have several exciting features and improvements lined up in our backlog as the next steps for enhancing the BlockDAG X1 application. Here are a few key items:

Google and Apple Sign-In
We are planning to allow users to sign in through their Google and Apple accounts. This will provide a seamless and secure login experience, leveraging the robust authentication mechanisms of these platforms. Users will be able to:

• Quick Sign-In: Easily access their accounts without needing to remember passwords.
• Enhanced Security: Benefit from the strong security features offered by Google and Apple.
  
  Sign-Up and Sign-In via Email

We are enhancing our sign-up and sign-in process by allowing users to create and access their accounts via email. This will:

• Simplify Account Management: Users can easily create an account using their email address.
• Improve Accessibility: Make it easier for users who prefer using email over other sign-in methods.
  
  The new introduced sign up methods will help the user to recover their account in case they have lost it. 
   

Mandatory Email Linking
Following the implementation of Google and Apple sign-in, we will make email linking mandatory for all existing users. This step will help:

• Enhance Security: Adding an extra layer of account protection.
• Improve Communication: Ensure we can effectively communicate important updates and notifications to all users.
   

Backend Enhancements
Our backend team is also working on several critical tasks to improve the performance and functionality of the BlockDAG X1 application:

• Notification Module Enhancement: We're enhancing our notification module to ensure timely and relevant updates are delivered to users.
• Frequent Balance Updates: Updating user balances every 3 seconds to provide real-time account information.
• Leaderboard Flow Optimization: Changing the logical flow of the leaderboard to improve its accuracy and performance.

These tasks are in progress, and their timelines will be discussed and disclosed soon.
 

Our blockchain explorer team has started working on listing transactions inside each block, taking inspiration from platforms like Etherscan. This feature will allow users to:

• View Transaction Details: See detailed information about transactions within a block.
• Enhanced Transparency: Improve the transparency and traceability of transactions on the BlockDAG network.

Additionally, the team is conducting research and development on UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) transactions. This R&D effort is crucial for understanding and implementing UTXO-based transaction models in our blockchain explorer.
