Mithril Team Update

· 2 min read
Jean-Philippe Raynaud

High level overview​

The Mithril team created a new 2327.0 distribution. They focused on preparing the beta launch on the mainnet: they tested the new production signer deployment model with the pioneer SPOs, they prepared an SPO on-boarding guide, and they kept working on the deployment and monitoring of the mainnet infrastructure. The team also worked on the implementation of a simple stress test tool for benchmarking the aggregator. Additionally, they completed the refactoring of the interface to the cryptographic library.

Finally, they fixed a bug that sporadically prevented the latest signer registration of a SPO to be used in the associated signing epoch, they fixed a bug in the epoch gap detection of the certificate chain in the aggregator, and worked on multiple other optimizations and bugs.
