Preamble

Idea: 154
Title: Support web3.js library
Status: Completed
Created: 2018-04-09

Summary

Ensure that any DApp that works in Metamask also works in Status by providing web3.js library support.

Swarm Participants

Product Overview

A fundamental step in supporting the developer ecosystem is to ensure that any existing DApp loads and is operable in the Status browser.

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.
