Tezos Insight 17: Updates of Tezbox; striving for Tezos Ecosystem
Hi All,
It's Rooney with this week's Tezos Insight for you.
I have brought some news of Tezbox, one of big Tezos Wallet service providers, that I also introduced before on our Steemit.
First, ever since last October when they received the grant from Tezos Foundation, they have been working on some projects for Tezos ecosystem and recently have published an article detailing their works that you can check it out below if you want.

Secondly, they have released their alpha version of fi which is its own smart contract language for Tezos. They said they spent a lot of times and resources on tools and apps to assist users and developers in Tezos ecosystem. fi is one of the tools they started back in 2017. Below are introduction and information why fi, a solidity like high-level smart contract language that compiles down to Michelson, is important that Tezbox is proud of.
I am going to quote a few crucial paragraphs that articulate fi straightforward from their Medium hereinafter.
[How does fi work?]
Our compiler reads your fi code and converts it to valid Michelson by utilizing the low-level stack in a way where we can implement “building blocks” of code. Using some simple utility functions, we can manipulate the stack safely and add additional functions (which are made up of individual low-level instructions) in a very modular way.
Another benefit of this method is unit testing — we can independently write and run tests on small parts of our codebase to make it easier to identify compilation errors and bugs.
[Why fi?]
Fi is designed to make it easier for developers who come from an object-oriented background to build with Tezos. Fi is a ECMA/Javascript/Solidity like language that is statically typed and compiles down to valid Michelson code.
[The future of fi]
We are currently working on some very interesting features for fi, including a JS like promise system to allow for communication between smart-contracts on-chain (which isn’t currently available without complex solutions), internal and library functions (via includes) and more.
If you want to know more on fi, just figure out in the URL below!

Alright, It's all I've prepared for this week!
Hope you enjoy the rest of this week!
See you very soon(:
