We continue to refine our model for reward distribution and are currently working on explainability.

The feature will allow users to understand why they are receiving a certain reward 🎁 in their wallet. These explanations can be translated into various regional languages.

Rewards are calculated based on funds held in a user’s Cardstack Wallet — with both the amount and the duration being considered — as well as user activity.

We are making improvements to the private key management module for Cardstack Wallet. The wallet will soon support multi-sig transactions for safes controlled by multiple parties.

The safes in the wallet are currently limited to one user. We are working to extend the wallet to support transactions involving safes owned by multiple users that require more than one private key to authorize a transaction.

Multisig support at the wallet level will help coordinate time-sensitive business workflows including approvals, settlements, and payments.
