Yagna v.0.16.0: Introducing Deposits

Iago Romero

• 1 min read

We have just released Yagna v0.16.0! Here is a quick summary of the changes from v0.15:

A New Payment Method: Deposits

  • New roles in the Ecosystem: Deposits differentiate between End-users who use and pay for services on Golem, and Requestors (also known as Service Owners) who operate and maintain these services via Yagna.
  • Indirect Payments: End-users can pay Providers through a smart contract, eliminating the need for direct transactions with the Requestor's wallet.
  • Revenue Opportunities: The system allows for optional service fees, offering Service Owners/Requestors an opportunity to create profitable services on the Golem Network.

IMPORTANT: To use the Deposits feature, you need to have Yagna 0.16.0. A new version of the JS SDK, which simplifies integrating this feature, will also be available soon.

  • Minor CLI Enhancements: Several minor fixes have been implemented in the Command Line Interface (CLI) to enhance user experience.
