The Casper Developer Community call on August 27th featured key speakers Karol Marter, Blockchain Developer; Michael Steuer, CTO of MAKE; Dylan Ireland, Developer Advocate at Casper Association; and Maciej Zielinski, Founder of Odra.dev.
This recap is intended for those who missed the call or re-visit the updates shared.
We also recommend signing up for our biweekly newsletter to receive early updates and stay up to date.
Dylan Ireland took the stage to provide an update on the Fondant tool, which was developed by one of the grant teams last year. He explained, "Fondant is a tool that packages CCTL into a local bundle, enabling you to run your own Casper network locally with a front-end interface instead of the command line."
Fondant has now been brought in-house for development and is being prepared for integration with Casper 2.0 (Condor). Dylan emphasized that the tool is fully open-source and available on GitHub.
You can learn more about Fondant in our blog post.
Michael Steuer shared extensive updates on the ongoing Condor integration and related product developments. He began by highlighting that the development team is busy with Condor integration across the entire suite of products and developer tools.
He also noted that the SDKs have been updated to support Condor, and similar updates are underway for CSPR.cloud.
Regarding CSPR.live, Michael announced, "We released version 1.25 last week, which includes new functionality like centralized account information and the upcoming CSPR.name. He also mentioned the forthcoming release, version 1.26, which will include "holder information for fungible and non-fungible tokens, important for those with token-based projects."
Michael reminded the community about the deprecation of Torus Wallet and Casper Signer, urging developers to migrate their applications and users to move their accounts to the Casper Wallet.
“We’ve added human-readable transaction information to the Casper Wallet, making it easier to understand what’s happening in a deployment,".
- Michael Steuer, CTO of MAKE
"Torus and Casper Signer will be removed from the ecosystem by the end of September. Developers need to transition to the Casper Wallet before September 30th, 2024."
He urged developers to update their applications accordingly, reminding them that post-September 30th, developers should stop including Signer and Torus in the available wallets.

Continuing with CSPR.cloud updates, Michael assured the community that they are actively working on Condor integration to ensure minimal disruption to existing applications.
He highlighted a new feature: "This week, we released a version of CSPR.cloud that enables APIs for off-chain resolution of CSPR.name," which is a domain name system expected to launch in early October. Michael noted that this allows for seamless resolution via CSPR.cloud, both on-chain and off-chain.
Michael then introduced the CSPR.Build version 1.0, which includes "detailed analytics now available to every Casper developer." He demonstrated how the new statistics tab allows developers to monitor various aspects of their applications, such as "total request counts, success rates, error rates, and real-time request logs."
This tool is accessible through the Casper Build console and aims to help developers ensure their applications are running smoothly.
