Hello, and welcome to another Greymass progress update! In this edition, we showcase some exciting developments. We have fantastic news regarding Unicove 2.0, updates for Anchor on Android, and we have been working hard to improve the components of Wharf. Let’s dive right in!
Unicove 2.0
Nine months ago, our team began work on the 2.0 version of Unicove — a user-friendly web wallet and block explorer. It is built from scratch using the latest Wharf SDKs, modern web technologies, and utilizes our past seven years of Antelope development experience to offer up new ways to access the blockchain using your favorite wallet.
During this time, Unicove has continually been updated to include many new features, including (but not limited to):
- Sign in to manage an account, an asset, network resources, etc.
- Create, view, and manage multi-sig transactions and permissions.
- Onboarding tools and new wallet integrations.
- View any blockchain data through explorer features.
- Advanced tools to view and interact with smart contracts.
Unicove is a living product and will continue to evolve alongside the needs of the blockchain itself. In our next release, Unicove will support basic token swapping systems and feature an improved asset tracking system — which will be deployed first to support the EOS rebrand into Vaulta. Later this year we’ll be integrating brand new wallets, reshaping the site to be more user-centric, improving onboarding further, and continuing to make it all more accessible.
This open-source platform serves as the foundation for future work as we continue to refine the user experience. Please feel free to reach out with any feedback, feature requests, or issues.

Wharf
Account Kit
The Account kit has undergone three updates and is now at version 1.4.1. Minor fixes and tweaks were implemented.
Session Kit
The Session kit has received three updates and is currently at version 1.5.1.
- Remove the Account Kit from the Session Kit, separating the two to remove the sometimes unneeded dependency while using the Session Kit.
- Revise wallet configuration processing — Some wallet plugins (cleos) did not function when only one chain was supplied because the logic executed only when there was more than one. This revision separates the logic and reorganizes it to resolve configuration overrides.
