To add to what @Trinitron posted
Trinitron:
Grin is in a pretty chill state, the scheduled hardforks and proof of work changes of its early years are done. It has seen and survived an inflation attack. Protocol wise PIBD is slowly underway, but it doesn’t change anything functionally about Grin it’s just a more robust syncing method. The most activity is on grin-gui which will put the core node and wallet into a gui app which is cool.
Perhaps the most exciting thing being developed atm is CoinSwap, which obfuscates the tx graph, breaking linkability. So a Grin tx could have a similar level of privacy to a Monero tx.
Development progress thread:
Hi everyone, I’m a long-time lurker and experienced developer hoping to get more involved with GRIN.
@tromp ’s CoinSwap Proposal appears the most promising attempt to solve transaction linkability in MW. Sadly it seems GRIN is temporarily short on developers capable of implementing such a complex system. Luckily I’m in a position to dedicate time to this project throughout the remainder of the year.
Grin ++ an implementation of Grin written in C++ is in constant development:
CLI version of Grin++ and improving the Grin++ documentation. By the end of this period the CLI version should be usable connecting to the up-to-date APIs.
Rate: EUR 7.500,00/month.
There’s also a Python implementation being worked on:
But unfortunately development has stalled due to issues around the API Owner API finalize_tx responds with Fee: Missing fee fields error · Issue #635 · mimblewimble/grin-wallet · GitHub we are lacking core devs atm and rely solely on @Yeastplume so we need to fund another core dev.
Grin recently became available on Ledger :
There’s also another ledger implementation being worked on here: Grin ledger hardware wallet progress thread by @markhollis - #72 by Cryptised
