High-level summary

This week, the Hydra team worked on several fronts, including fixing state machine continuity on-chain, discussing voting project solutions, exploring adding Hydra support to kupo, and improving API navigation with a sidebar. The team also updated dependencies and fixed issues in their test suites. Moving forward, the team plans to hold the next monthly review meeting, address a user issue, prepare for the 0.10.0 release, and work on a dirt road fix for the rollbacks issue with proper test coverage.

What did the team achieve this week

  • Fixed scripts to enforce state machine continuity on-chain #777.
  • Took part in a twitter space on Scaling Cardano.
  • Joined a CBIA meeting to discuss Cardano network protocols & how to specify them.
  • Discussed potential solutions of ensuring vote uniqueness in the voting project.
  • Updated dependencies to match cardano-node master to prepare for upcoming releases and hard-forks
  • Explored adding Hydra support to kupo, a lightweight Cardano chain indexer - some more work required.
  • Improved navigation of the API Reference with a sidebar, see unstable API version.
  • Fixed two things in our test suites (random port conflicts and an arithmetic underflow in smoke test)

What are the goals of next week

  • Monthly review meeting (join via Discord or AddEvent) & report
  • Dirt road fix for rollbacks #784 properly covered by a test.
  • Groom and ideally address user issue #823.
  • Put the spec into the repo #693 and prepare release 0.10.0.
