Diode Collab Update - July
by MNJR | July 31, 2025 | Category: Diode
July brought a new round of improvements to the Diode Collab app - the following updates are live in versions v1.17.10 to v1.17.13!
ICP Support for Join & Chat Attachments
Diode now uses Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) canisters and vetKeys to enable secure Zone joining and chat attachment syncing, even when no existing members are online, by validating membership through ChainFusion and providing decryption keys through the Zone smart contract. You must be using a paid Zone to add Canister support - contact Diode to enable.
“View All” Conversations
A “View all conversations” link now appears in DMs, letting you see all chats with a contact across Zones and jump to the right one.
Visible Zone Owner
The Discover page Zone cards now show the Zone owner’s username so interested members have more context on the Zone.
Fast Join if Zone Has a Canister
The time to join a Zone will be reliably much faster (order of seconds) if a Zone has been configured with an Internet Computer Protocol Canister.
Shuffle Top Performing Nodes Faster
Regional nodes are now shuffled every 60 seconds, keeping the top five performers to ensure optimal connections and seamless fail overs.
Auto-Download Chat Files on View
When a user clicks on a chat file to view it, the sync/download process of the file is now automatically started.
Word Doc Icon
Word docs now show an icon in the preview page instead of “No preview or settings available for this file type.”
Bug Fixes
The team addressed various bugs including fixing a PIN entry issue, accidental pause of filing syncing, restricted push notifications to active members of a Zone, and sped up validation of join codes.
