High-level summary

This week, the Hydra team achieved notable progress in various aspects of the project. The team updated the use case section for auctions on the /unstable branch of the website, improving the understanding of Hydras applicability.

From the development side, the team successfully completed event-sourced persistence, a key enhancement in the projects architecture which improves off-chain transaction processing performance. They also added a submit-transaction endpoint to the API.

In addition to project-related progress, the team actively engaged in community reviews for several catalyst proposals related to Hydra and Mithril, contributing to the wider Cardano ecosystem.
