Is the BitShares DEX UX Still in the Lab? Let’s Reignite Innovation!

Is the BitShares DEX UX Still in the Lab? Let’s Reignite Innovation! ⚙️

The BitShares DEX UX group set out with ambitious goals: to revolutionize the user experience for decentralized trading with a streamlined, server-side rendered interface, minimal dependencies, and a focus on performance. It promised to be a haven for developers — a place where ideas could flourish, code could flow, and the future of decentralized exchanges could be crafted, free of unnecessary bloat. But scrolling through the group, the last sign of life was on September 11th, 2023.

So what happened? Did development stall, or are there just not enough voices to keep the momentum going?

A Framework Full of Potential 🛠️

This project had — and still has — the potential to make the BitShares DEX more efficient, user-friendly, and scalable. The goals are crystal clear:

Minimalist Dependencies: Only core libraries like NumPy, Falcon, and aiohttp.
Server-Side Efficiency: Pypy for speed, with a focus on rendering clean, responsive UI.
No Bloated Frameworks: Keeping JavaScript simple, focusing on vanilla functionality.
Mobile and Desktop Compatibility: Ensuring seamless use across devices.

The vision was to give users a smooth and intuitive experience — whether on a desktop app or a high-traffic web server.

Where Did Everyone Go? 👻

BitShares has always been a place for innovation, but innovation thrives on collaboration. This group was meant to stay developer-focused, yet without active participants, the roadmap risks becoming a relic instead of a revolution.

The decentralized finance world is evolving fast. If you’re a developer, coder, or just a UX enthusiast, this is your chance to contribute. The groundwork has been laid — now it needs your ideas, your code, and your creativity.
