Developer weekly update April 23, 2025

Hello developers, and welcome to this week's developer weekly update! This week, there is a new release of Motoko, an update to the community project CycleOps, and a reminder about OISY wallet. Let's get started!

Motoko v0.14.8

A new version of Motoko is available in the latest beta release of dfx (0.26.1-beta.1).

This release concludes the beta testing of enhanced orthogonal persistence and adds random-access indexing of Blobs. This update also includes some parser and type checker improvements implemented by the Serokell team.

Lastly, autogenerated Candid now compiles into more readable JavaScript/TypeScript thanks to fewer type synonyms and preservation of named function arguments.

CycleOps update

The CycleOps team has released an exciting update for topping up your canisters: ICRC deposits! Now, you can fund your canister's automated top-ups directly from an SNS's treasury funds.

You can read the full details on the CycleOps changelog.

OISY wallet

Have you created an OISY wallet yet? OISY is a fully onchain, browser-based wallet designed for seamless access to DeFi. Learn more about how to create an OISY wallet, how to use it, or how it works on the OISY documentation.

That'll wrap up this week. Tune back in next week for more developer updates!
