Unfortunately, there was another bug in one of the proposals and, as a result, the cycles ledger was not reinstalled.

We will have to do another round of voting:

  • If proposal 130327 is accepted, the cycles ledger will be reinstalled.
  • If proposal 130328 is accepted, the cycles index canister will be reinstalled.

The cycles ledger and the index have successfully been reinstalled and we reimbursed the accounts that existed before reinstallation.

Hi, I have a question about the current state of the cycles ledger. Is it ready to use it in production right now or it‘s experimental right now?

The reason why i ask is I found different opinions about that.

We just submitted an upgrade proposal for the cycles ledger.

The proposal adds a logo to the cycles ledger and fixes a bug where a newly created canister was controlled by the cycles ledger instead of the principal that asked the cycles ledger to create a canister for it. Thank you very much @chenyan for the bug report.

The CodeGov project team completed reviews for the proposal and voted to adopt it. You can find details on OpenChat

Are there plans for the cycles ledger to make it into the dfx nns extension?

There are currently no such plans. What functionality would you like to see there?

70

To be able to install and import the cycles ledger locally via the dfx nns extension, or a specific dfx install cycles-ledger extension.

This would reduce adoption friction for those that want to test against the cycles ledger without needing to manually set things up by go to the by downloading the latest wasm from the GitHub releases page and then setting that up in dfx.

71

The cycles ledger is pullable, so you can use dfx deps to set it up locally.

Isn’t this sufficient for your use case?

Ah, hadn’t used the dfx deps feature yet :sweat_smile: - that should work great though, thanks :pray:

We just submitted an upgrade proposal for the cycles ledger.

The upgrade only bumps the ic-cdk version in order to patch a security issue. We’ll publish more details about the security issue after all affected canisters are patched.
