Cellframe Worklog: February 2026 Highlights
Category: Development Report
Hi everyone!
February 2026 was a busy month for the Cellframe team. We focused on developing key components of the platform, improving the user experience, strengthening security, and preparing several major updates. Here’s a look at what we accomplished over the past month.
Web Development
Cellframe Bridge
In February, one of the key development focuses was the Cellframe Bridge and its integration with the DEX. The team continued working on a new feature that allows a portion of the transferred amount to be automatically converted into the native CELL token during the bridge transaction.
This functionality will be available directly through the bridge interface: users will be able to choose what percentage of their transferred funds should be instantly exchanged for CELL via a market order on the DEX.
The Bridge–DEX integration is primarily designed to simplify the user experience within the network. When users transfer assets into the Cellframe ecosystem and plan to perform further operations, they will often need the native CELL token. Previously, they had to complete the bridge transfer first and then go to the DEX separately to exchange part of their assets.
Now the process will be faster and more convenient. When transferring assets through the bridge, users will be able to convert a portion of their funds to CELL immediately without leaving the bridge interface. This allows them to obtain the necessary native tokens right at the moment of transfer and use them for any further activities within the network.
At this stage, the bridge development is essentially complete, and the infrastructure is ready for launch once the required elements in the blockchain backend are activated.
At the same time, the team carried out significant improvements to security and stability. Transaction processing was accelerated, verification was optimized, and a monitoring system was introduced. These changes increase the reliability of both the Bridge and the DEX and make transactions noticeably faster.
Cellframe DEX
February also marked the completion of a major overhaul of the Cellframe DEX, a process that had been underway since last autumn. The team revisited almost the entire architecture and operating logic of the decentralized exchange, turning it into a truly convenient tool for trading.
The new DEX combines three key aspects:
1. CEX-level functionality: familiar trading tools with fast and convenient execution.
2. True decentralization: users keep full control of their funds at all times.
3. Post-quantum security: protection against quantum threats at the architectural level.
What’s changed in the interface
We completely redesigned the order creation form. It now provides a detailed breakdown of fees, a more convenient trading pair selection, and advanced execution settings.
The order management system has also been updated. Users can track order status and execution percentage, view detailed information for each order, and manage multiple orders at once.
To simplify the buying process, two scenarios are now available: placing an order directly from the list or using a specific order hash.
The order book now works similarly to those on traditional centralized exchanges, with order-type filtering, market depth visualization, and a real-time bid/ask chart.
We also added professional analytics tools, including multiple timeframes as well as candlestick and line charts to help traders make more informed decisions.
The new Cellframe DEX is already available in the desktop version of Cellframe Wallet and supports all node connection modes: Local, Remote, and Ultra-light.
You can download the updated versions here.
Important: If you have active orders in the previous version of the DEX, you will be able to close them or migrate them to the new DEX after updating. All existing orders will appear in the My Orders tab.
Cellframe Wallet
February became a special month for the entire Cellframe ecosystem: Cellframe Wallet officially launched on iOS. The app is now available for download on the App Store.
What’s already available for users
The wallet now includes functionality for working with tokens in a post-quantum secure network, access to the ecosystem, and Shared Funds, secure collective accounts designed for businesses, teams, or DAOs. This makes managing shared assets simple and convenient.
Two operating modes for different needs:
• Ultra-light mode: minimizes device resource usage and automatically connects to public nodes. Ideal for users who want quick and easy access to the network.
• Remote mode: designed for those who value privacy and full control. The app connects to the user’s own node running on another device, providing maximum data protection.
With these capabilities, the wallet becomes more than just a tool for storing tokens: it serves as a central hub for managing assets and interacting with the Cellframe ecosystem. Users can securely trade, participate in network projects, and manage collective funds directly from their smartphones.
Interface and system updates
In February, the team also carried out significant work to improve the stability and usability of wallets. Issues with displaying signature type icons were fixed, and a bug related to deleting multisignature wallets was resolved.
Transaction amount validation was also improved: the system now correctly handles inputs with multiple decimal points. In addition, the issue with restoring wallets that used outdated signature types has been fixed.
Work was also done on the certificate system. Users can now create certificates using a seed phrase in both Remote and Light modes, and error handling has been improved when attempting to import duplicate certificates.
The team also refined several interface elements: descriptions of node operating modes in the Select node mode section were updated, and a tooltip was added for the disabled Get Started button when using Remote mode.
Сellframe Node & SDK
In February, the team actively worked on Cellframe Node and two SDKs: Cellframe SDK and DAP SDK. The main goal was to significantly reduce reliance on third-party components and gain full control over the system architecture.
In DAP SDK, all external libraries were fully replaced with in-house solutions. A similar process is nearly complete in Cellframe SDK, where almost all third-party components have also been removed, with only a few minor modules still remaining.
This work resulted in a significant boost in speed and overall optimization, benefiting both end users and enterprise integrations. For example:
• The hashing function has become one of the fastest in the world.
• The JSON parser now operates at very high speed, accelerating data processing.
• GDB, the distributed data storage used in the Cellframe blockchain and designed for handling large volumes of information, is now even faster and more reliable.
These improvements could be especially valuable for companies working with Big Data, enterprise applications, and high-load systems. Faster data processing and optimized transactions directly reduce resource consumption and improve server efficiency.
Among the additional changes that will also be included in the upcoming 6.0 release:
• VPN and Python modules have been removed from Cellframe Node and will be available as separate plugins;
• a dedicated plugin repository is being created to enable modular feature expansion;
• large-scale optimizations and performance improvements are being implemented across all system layers.
Other Activities
February was a busy month for the Cellframe team. One of the highlights was attending Consensus Hong Kong 2026 from February 10–12, one of the world’s largest blockchain conferences, bringing together leaders from crypto, traditional finance, Web3, and AI.
In Hong Kong, the team focused on networking and building partnerships to grow the Cellframe ecosystem. For a closer look at the trip and key takeaways, watch our video blog here or read the detailed blog post here.
February also marked the end of the first season of the Cellframe Ambassador Program. We thank all participants for their contribution to the community, and the next season is starting soon, stay tuned for updates.
The team hosted the first AMA of 2026 with Dmitry Gerasimov, providing a great opportunity to answer community questions, discuss plans, and showcase new features. The recording is available on YouTube here and the text version is here.
Social media activity was also strong, with educational shorts and videos covering major crypto trends. Users especially enjoyed the video on real-world asset tokenization (RWA) watch here, one of the hottest topics right now.
Overall, February showed that Cellframe is not just building technology but actively growing a community, sharing knowledge, and attracting new participants. Thank you for being with us, there’s even more exciting progress ahead!
