Mithril Team Update

High level overview​

The Mithril team completed the Mithril protocol’s mainnet beta launch: the release-mainnet network is now consistently producing new certificates and snapshots! The team has released a new distribution 2331.1 which includes some optimizations and bug fixes: the bootstrap time of a Cardano node restored from a Mithril snapshot has been significantly reduced, and a bug that made the aggregator produce corrupted archives has been fixed. They also kept working on the implementation of the stress test tool for benchmarking the aggregator: the first phase has been implemented, as well as a monitoring feature. Additionally, they kept implementing the refactoring of the serialization/deserialization of the entities of the cryptographic library, and working on the post deployment of the mainnet infrastructure.

Finally, they completed the rewriting and enhancements of the documentation website, and they completed the runbook for operating a production Mithril network.
