MASQ Network Desktop Widget

MASQ Network Widgets are live on the Desktop screen, allowing users to interact directly with $MASQ utility token access and social engagement for the MASQ ecosystem
They will be used to display network activity and statistics about the $MASQ utility token, using on-chain data from decentralized sources!
(TheGraph, Uniswap, Quickswap and more)
These widgets also allow users to share social proof to support MASQ Network, and get involved with Community Rewards as part of the MASQ Ecosystem Accelerator!

MASQ Hop Selector

The
Hop Selecter
allows users to change speed and privacy levels by adjusting the number of peers being routed across on the MASQ Network -
a world-first for mesh network privacy solutions!
Using the Hop Selecter means that a user can:
  • adjust
    down
    the hop number for more speed which provides
    higher speed
    , with less routing privacy
  • adjust
    up
    the hop number to provide more routing privacy, which will likely
    decrease speed
    in browsing
Changing the Hop count currently requires reconnection to the MASQ Network and a prompt will let you know if that hop level chosen is available to the user when it attempts to connect.
Here is what the Hop Selector looks like for users:

Handshake Domains Support (Phase 1)

Handshake Domains (HNS) will now resolve natively in the MASQ Browser url bar!
Simple type in the HNS domain and end with a
./
and the website should resolve like a traditional web2 website!
(example,
masq./
or
uniswap.frontend./
)
Currently, this feature will work when
MASQ Network is not on for consuming
, meaning the user is browsing over their normal network connection.
