Users: 1. Developers who want to develop a new HTML DApp for Ethereum from scratch 2. Developers of existing HTML DApps that work on desktop with Metamask 3. Users exploring DApps in Status There are a number of bugs preventing this currently. In addition to resolving any known issues, we will provide support for the web3.js library. ### Product Description Developers testing on Status should find that any mobile-optimized HTML DApp is compatible. Users can load, log in to, and transact inside any DApp using the Status browser. ### Requirements & Dependencies - [ ] [#3174](https://github.com/status-im/status-react/issues/3174): Some Android devices can't find web3 library - [ ] [#784](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/issues/784): Contract handler not called after contract deployment - [ ] [#2479](https://github.com/status-im/status-react/issues/2479): web3 filters don't work with Status chat bot - [ ] [#2704](https://github.com/status-im/status-react/issues/2704): Personal sign message support (CryptoKitties blocker) - [ ] [#3131](https://github.com/status-im/status-react/issues/3131): Scrolling glitch in ERC dEX - [ ] [#3823](https://github.com/status-im/status-react/issues/3823): Sync calls are not supported in Status - [ ] [#3824](https://github.com/status-im/status-react/issues/3824): [Blockchain Cuties](https://blockchaincuties.co ) does not load inside Status ### Minimum Viable Product Goal date: Description: - Fix known issues. - Support web3.js library v.0.20.3 Testing days required: ## Exit Criteria - Test cases defined for web3.js v.0.20.3 - Known issues closed ## Success Metrics - All tests pass QA - Every Selected DApp works (loads, logs in, transacts) ## Future Iterations - Support [web3.js 1.0](https://web3js.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/) ## Copyright Copyright and related rights waived via [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/).
