We’ve reached a major milestone.
Hoops Finance Dashboard v0.5.0 introduces a unified identity and wallet layer, setting the foundation for seamless onboarding and secure participation across the Hoops ecosystem.
This release brings together everything we’ve been building toward: trustless login, onchain identity, and frictionless access for users and developers alike.
Our mascot, Hoopy, celebrating v0.5.0 release!
🔐 Unified Identity
Security and usability are no longer trade-offs.
With WebAuthn passkeys and zero-knowledge SRP authentication, users can now log in, link, and verify without ever exposing their credentials.
Every session is encrypted end-to-end, every refresh token rotated, and every device managed from a dedicated Passkey Manager.
This new identity system allows users to:
Register and log in using passkeys or traditional credentials.
Enable 2FA without SMS or email codes.
Link their Stellar wallets via SEP-10 authentication for transaction signing directly within the dashboard.
💼 For Developers
We’ve expanded the developer experience to make integrating with Hoops easier than ever.
API Keys: Create and manage API credentials directly in your profile.
Token Logos: All assets are now mirrored locally at build-time for reliability and speed.
Data API Updates: Standardized endpoints for metrics and token info, with real-time freshness options.
Together, these updates make the Hoops API faster, cleaner, and ready for third-party dashboards, bots, and analytic tools.
⚙️ Performance and Reliability
Refactored routing and caching for consistent daily data refreshes.
Replaced animation libraries with native CSS for smoother rendering and smaller bundle sizes.
Strengthened session management, OAuth callbacks, and CSRF protection.
Introduced client fingerprinting for enhanced security monitoring.
The result: a faster, safer, and more predictable experience across every environment.
🌍 Why It Matters
Version 0.5.0 completes our foundation layer — uniting identity, wallets, and data access into a single, secure platform.
It’s not just an update.
It’s the infrastructure that will power what comes next: Smart Accounts, Vault Rewards, and the onchain risk algorithm behind the Hoops ecosystem.
Special thanks to our community and ecosystem collaborators for continuous feedback and testing.
📈 The Road Ahead
Our next releases will focus on:
Expanding Smart Account functionality
Public API metrics and developer portal improvements
Early integrations with our onchain reputation system
We’re building toward a world where identity, liquidity, and yield move together — securely, transparently, and on Stellar.
