The candle chart indexer has been upgraded to support v2 and the frontend team has taken over to integrate it with our new UI (check to-dos in this sprint to learn more).🐝 Keeper Modification for V2
The team keeper bot was upgraded to support v2. Specifically, it’ll trigger funding payments and liquidate undercollateralized positions like it’s been doing for v1, as well as cancel orders, which is implemented to mitigate liquidation risks for makers.

To-dos in this development sprint
📑 Smart Contracts
Building and Researching V2 (🏁 finish line in sight!)
All of the functions for v2 are now done. In this sprint, we’ll refactor the code for Clearing House, fix the bugs reported by the Consensys Audit, and prepare for the next audit in the coming weeks from ABDK, the auditor for Uniswap v3.
🛢 Backend
Subgraph Support for V2 (🏁 finish line in sight!)
We’ve implemented the interfaces for most events from our smart contracts on our subgraph, and we’ll finish the rest in this sprint.Prepare Test Scripts
In this sprint, we’ll work on test scripts, which will run several test cases before each deployment to test that the system is working properly.
💻 Web
Web UI for both Mobile and Desktop (🏁 finish line in sight!)
Almost all of the trader-facing functions for both desktop and mobile versions are done. We’ll integrate a basic TradingView chart into the site in this sprint and also fix some minor issues. If you can’t wait and want to trade on the go now, you can use lite mode or trade.apex.win instead (note apex.win uses Perpetual Protocol on the back-end, but positions will not show across perp.exchange and apex.win).
