Good morning, this is your Agora Next Updates for January 28th, 2026.
Yesterday saw two important merges to the Agora Next repository. Galo13eth merged a significant security fix for the PWA push notification system. The update introduces SIWE JWT authentication requirements for notification subscriptions, preventing unauthorized users from registering push notifications for arbitrary wallet addresses. The changes also add tenant gating through feature toggles and implement proper address validation with regex checking and lowercase normalization to prevent recipient ID mismatches. This affects both the subscription API endpoint and the client-side push notification hooks.
SudheerDev merged a data quality improvement that addresses duplicate entries in the non-voter list. The fix ensures proper deduplication by considering both wallet address and citizen type, preventing the same voter from appearing multiple times in proposal vote archives.
Both changes represent important infrastructure improvements - the notification security fix prevents potential abuse of the push notification system, while the deduplication fix ensures accurate voter participation data.
What's next: Monitor the authentication flow performance with the new security requirements, and validate that the deduplication logic properly handles edge cases in voter classification.
That's your Agora Next update for today. We'll be back tomorrow with the latest from the development team.
