    Project Updates

    Vite App
    A major Vite App update, v3.8, is under development and will be released soon. The new release will have a significant user experience improvement close to centralized exchanges.

    Vite App v3.8 will have the following new features and enhancements

    • Improve the layout of asset page. Replace “My Account” with “Exchange Asset”, which is sub-categorized into “Wallet Account” and “Trading Account” to facilitate users to check asset portfolio;
    • Move the “Account” page to the upper left corner of the app;
    • Separate “Wallet” and “Exchange” to avoid confusion. In the previous version, users can view “Wallet Asset” and “Exchange Asset” on the homepage, and switch through in a secondary tab opened. The new version will only display “Wallet Asset” on the homepage and “Exchange Asset” will not show up anymore;
    • Enhance connection performance. Improve the data loading speed on slow internet.

    Desktop wallet
    New Vite desktop wallet version 1.4.2 was released, with security optimizations.

    Compared to the web wallet, the desktop wallet has more strict security settings and is recommended for use.

    • Hummingbot (https://github.com/CoinAlpha/hummingbot — Connect to preview ) integration. After the integration is complete, you can run a trading robot through Hummingbot for strategic trading or liquidity mining on ViteX.

    Recently, we have carried out an important network upgrade to Vite’s websites and API services under vite.net and vitex.net, to improve connection performance and prevent large-scale DDoS attacks. The optimization includes:

    • Optimized network routing and improved the access speed from major countries in the world;
    • Deployed CDN services to improve the loading speed of static resources;
    • Enabled caching to reduce API latency and prevent from DDoS attack;
    • Added firewall rules against DDoS attack.
