Hydro Dev Update 6/8

This has been a productive week for us at Hydro. Noah has been working on reducing gas costs in the API and making them more dynamic. The Ethereum network can have large differences in gas pricing at any given time and we will now be much more prepared for that. The API now allows for low, medium and high priority transactions. All of which have a set percentage of the current recommended gas cost. Alongside this, I am working in the API to integrate websockets. We feel that this will help to make the user experience smoother. This is still a work in progress, but will hopefully be done by our next dev update.For our smart contracts, we have finalized our core Snowflake contract and are working on building out a suite of contracts and dApps that all use Snowflake. Our Snowflake Whitepaper can be seen here and our smart contract code can be seen here. In the future, we will be adding specific resolvers that we want to see from the community and they will be listed in the HCDP.We have been running lots of user testing for our mobile app and are working hard to implement the feedback given to us. Reinaldo has also been working to finish up the Android version of the app (which I am very excited about as an android user).
