# Litecoin’s Pivotal MWEB Upgrade is Now Released

David Burkett, the lead developer behind Litecoin’s Mimblewimble Extension Block (MWEB) upgrade, has confirmed that MWEB has now been officially released as a 'RC', following an intense multi-year process of development, testing, reviewing, and auditing, along with the help of dozens of key contributors. MWEB will be included as part of the Litecoin Core 0.21.2 release candidate, which also includes the security and privacy-enhancing Taproot upgrade.

This release comes after Quarkslab, a respected security and code auditing company, completed a review/audit of the MWEB code, commenting, “The protocol provides valuable new security enhancements about the privacy of transactions on the blockchain,” in addition to months of further review and testing by Litecoin developers.

**MWEB Activation**
With MWEB now being available, it is time for the Litecoin community to begin the signaling process. Once miners receive the completed code, they may begin signaling for MWEB activation right away. Once the threshold is met, the activation date will be locked in, and as a result, MWEB will go live.

This process will occur via BIP8. As explained by Burkett, each block has a 'version' field, which miners can use to “vote” for soft forks. Miners will be using a small part of the 'version' field to signal for MWEB activation.

Every 8,064 blocks, a new “window” is started. At the end of each window, nodes tally up all of the blocks that signal for a feature, and if the total meets the defined threshold, MWEB will “lock in” for activation in the following window. For Litecoin, the threshold is defined as 6,048 blocks or 75% of the blocks in the window.

**What MWEB Means to Litecoin and the Digital Currency Space**
Presently - on the vast majority of blockchains - amounts sent between wallets (users) are publicly displayed, allowing anyone to see how much is being sent, received, and held; making the users’ ‘privacy’ impossible to protect. This poses a significant problem for a currency, particularly when confidentiality is required. For example, if a company were to pay five employees in cryptocurrency, and one of the recipients decides to check the outflow of coins from the origin address (the company’s), their colleagues’ earnings - and holdings, savings - would be clearly visible. Posing ethical and privacy issues for the employee and company. Once someone has their paycheck and wants to spend it, the recipient can choose to see the sender’s balance. So fungibility gives that level of security and dispels the fear of leaking financial information about yourself. An important property of good money that is currently missing from Litecoin and Bitcoin.

Until now, cryptocurrency has been lacking these basic privacy measures offered by traditional banking systems - which, for the most part, afford individuals privacy concerning their finances - but that’s all changes with Litecoin’s MWEB upgrade. Users may not require this level of ‘privacy’ for all Litecoin transactions, which is why using MWEB is optional, allowing users to ‘opt-in’ at their discretion, based on their needs.

MWEB is opt-in and therefore, using it is optional. Due to its built-in features, by deciding to use the MW chain, you receive the benefits of improved fungibility and privacy as opposed to the main chain’s more see-through nature.

This is where MWEB comes into play and helps fill the void that’s been lacking in the cryptocurrency space, one in which personal privacy has been significantly ignored. Interestingly enough, this is occurring on one of the most highly liquid and transacted-with cryptocurrencies. MWEB will be included as part of the Litecoin Core 0.21.2 release candidate, which also includes the security and privacy-enhancing Taproot upgrade. With MWEB, Litecoin will become the most fungible, cash-like, cryptocurrency in the space - warranting its position as one of the most used digital payments instruments.

To illustrate, after being added onto BitPay just a few months ago, Litecoin has already outpaced Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Bitcoin Cash payments, all of which were added long prior to Litecoin.

With the addition of MWEB, and taking into account Litecoin’s other attributes (e.g. low fees, network reliability, and high integration on 3rd party platforms), people have found value in Litecoin’s use as a means of exchange. In the past 10 years, Litecoin has accrued over 1 trillion dollars in money sent over the network and with the addition of MWEB, its payments use case will likely become much more attractive. After several years of vigorous work, the time has finally come.

**Congratulations to everyone who contributed towards making MWEB a reality, and stay tuned for news on the Litecoin community’s MWEB and Taproot signaling process!**

Litewallet


## Embark on a Mission with Litewallet

Litewallet, powered by the Litecoin Foundation, is a user-friendly and secure crypto wallet enabling users to manage their Litecoin assets efficiently. However, a critical issue has been identified in our iOS application, related to the loafwallet-core module/library. When opening the transaction history, certain types of addresses are not being displayed due to a bug concerning UnsafeMutablePointer. We're inviting proficient developers to dive into this challenge, ensuring a seamless user experience for our global user base.

### Delving Into the Core Issue

The heart of the matter lies in the display of certain types of addresses within the transaction history. The regular addresses are shown as expected, but others (specifically those with ltc1, M or ltc1 prefixes) are not visible. The suspected root cause circles back to changes in the standard of handling UnsafeMutablePointers.

### Bounty Objectives:

**- Investigate and Understand**: Scrutinize the existing setup of loafwallet-core and its interaction with Litewallet-iOS, particularly around Transaction.swift class line 174.

**- Identify and Fix**: Address the exact cause of the UnsafeMutablePointer failure, implement necessary changes to rectify the unwrapping of addresses, ensuring all types of addresses are displayed correctly in the app.

**- Validation and Verification**: Conduct thorough testing to ensure the problem is resolved with no regression issues, and the rest of the app functions as desired.

**- Documentation**: Create clear and comprehensive documentation outlining the changes made, ensuring future developers understand the modifications.

### Skills and Expertise Required:

- Proficiency in C, Swift, and SQLite.
- Familiarity with loafwallet-core library.
- Experience in iOS app development.

### Reward and Recognition:

- You will be rewarded from the LTC donated to the bounty.
- First successful submission wins the bounty
- Your contribution will significantly impact the Litewallet user experience, making a direct positive impression on a global user base.

### The Road Ahead:

## Enhancing Litecoin with Mimblewimble Extension Blocks (MWEB)

MWEB, inspired by the Mimblewimble protocol, enhances Litecoin by achieving two critical goals:

**Confidential Transactions:** MWEB introduces confidential transactions, concealing transfer amounts for heightened privacy and protection against certain types of spam attacks.

**Scalability Improvement:** MWEB addresses blockchain scalability by efficiently pruning old transaction data, reducing blockchain size, and ensuring a more scalable network.

Mimblewimble Extension Blocks work alongside the main blockchain, accommodating confidential transactions and pruning, while maintaining compatibility with existing wallets and services. This enhances interoperability and security without compromising Litecoin's robustness.

By leveraging Mimblewimble, MWEB strengthens Litecoin's privacy and scalability, advancing its overall efficiency and security.

#MWEB


MWEB improves privacy and scalability on the Litecoin blockchain. Based on the Mimblewimble protocol, it promises confidential transactions and efficient pruning. We need YOUR support for its continued development.

MWEB improves privacy and scalability on the Litecoin blockchain. It leverages the Mimblewimble protocol to enable confidential transactions, which obscure the amounts being transferred, while also allowing for the pruning of old data from the blockchain, thus improving scalability.
