Datamine Network Alpha Launch and Ledger Integration Updates
💡 AI Article Summary
Addressing EIP-712 Hardware Wallet Compatibility
As the Datamine Network prepares for the upcoming Alpha launch, our development team is actively addressing hardware wallet compatibility. Currently, Ledger Nano S does not support EIP-712 (eth_signTypedData signing), which prevents these hardware addresses from generating Alpha invitation links directly.
To resolve this, we are implementing a workaround: allowing your delegated minter to sign on behalf of your locked DAM address. This maintains security while ensuring users with hardware wallets can seamlessly participate in the network test.
Alpha Invitation Metrics and Syncing Updates
The Alpha test phase is strictly invite-only, starting with Most Valuable Builders (MVBs) and Community Assistants. To reward ecosystem participation, the number of invitation links allocated to eligible participants scales with their FLUX burn activity, including both burned and received burns:
- Any FLUX amount: 1 Alpha link
- 10 FLUX: 2 Alpha links (2 beta queue spots)
- 20 FLUX: 3 Alpha links (3 beta queue spots)
- 100 FLUX: 5 Alpha links (5 beta queue spots)
- 1000 FLUX: 10 Alpha links (10 beta queue spots)
Additionally, we have temporarily disabled automatic Ethereum syncing for this testing phase. The team will run manual syncs to keep the test environment updated to the latest block.
Hey guys, some updates on Alpha,
eth_signTypedData or EIP-712 is not supported by Ledger Nano S so in beginning you won't be able to generate Alpha links from these hardware addresses: https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/hn7c6p/ledger_support_for_eth_eip712_signtypeddata/
This is going to be my 1 priority tomorrow to find a work-around as we are few days from Alpha launch. Most likely solution will be as follows: Your delegated minter can sign and is counted as the same signature as locked-in DAM address.
Will have to investigate tomorrow but I've been able to get signing to work with Metamask with other addresses just fine. In the future we'll expand the alpha functionality to also consider "burn received amount" as qualification (not just burned amount). So if you are either burning OR someone burned to your address, you will be able to generate alpha links
IF INVITED: The number of links you get is dependent on your burn amount. Alpha dashboard links will function as follows (this will change in the future), the invitation links work as follows:
Burn or have received burn of ANY FLUX amount: 1 alpha link
Burn or have received burn of 10 FLUX(~$20) : 2 alpha links (You technically have 2 available spots in the burn queue at beta)
Burn or have received burn of 20 FLUX (~$40) : 3 alpha links (You technically have 3 available spots in the burn queue at beta)
Burn or have received burn of 100 FLUX (~$200) : 5 alpha links (You technically have 5 available spots in the burn queue at beta)
Burn or have received burn of 1000 FLUX (~$2000) : 10 alpha links (You technically have 10 available spots in the burn queue at beta)
ETH Automatic syncing is disabled. We'll be running syncs manually to catch up to latest block
Alpha is INVITE ONLY, Only MVBs and Community Assistants are invited at the start. These are still very early stages of the network and this is our first network test. We'll send out more invites as the need arises. 🔥
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Ledger Nano S have issues generating Alpha links?
Ledger Nano S currently lacks support for EIP-712 (eth_signTypedData), which is required to securely sign and generate Alpha dashboard links.
What is the workaround for Ledger hardware wallet users?
The team is implementing a solution where your delegated minter can sign on behalf of your locked-in DAM address to validate and generate Alpha links.
Who is invited to the initial Datamine Network Alpha?
The Alpha phase is invite-only, starting primarily with Most Valuable Builders (MVBs) and Community Assistants to conduct the network's first structural tests.
How does FLUX burning affect Alpha invitations?
The number of Alpha links you receive depends on the amount of FLUX you have burned or the burn volume your address has received, scaling from 1 link for any amount up to 10 links for burning 1000 FLUX.
