User reviews

After the introduction of the permissions system, everything started working terribly. As a developer, I felt this in the strongest possible way. Please fire the very architect who pushed for this functionality. It works terribly—or rather, nothing works at all. To apply changes, you have to reload the browser—this is simply laughable. Should I also restart my router along with my laptop? This is a horrendous architectural and technical decision. I’d even say the application has become less user-friendly. I would call this shooting yourself in the foot. At my previous job, there was an architect with a similar proposal regarding security and implementing a permissions system. Thankfully, my team and I managed to get him kicked out of the company. Please either remove this disgrace or completely redesign it. Thank you!

Merhabalar; Yaklaşık 15 gündür işlem yapmak istediğim platformlarda ağlar arası geçiş yapamıyorum. Yapmak istediğim izin gerektiren işlemler (bridge, swap, supply vb) metamask o anda devreye giremediği için askıda kalıyor. Metamask üzerinde bekleyen onlarca izin bildirimi görünüyor ve bu bildirimleri iptal edemiyorum. Bu nedenle bir çok işimi halledemez durumdayım. Konsol üzerinde tonlarca hata görüyorum. Umarım en kısa zamanda bu sorunlar çözülür. İyi çalışmalar.
