High-level summary
This week, the Hydra team spent significant time opening a head among
themselves on mainnet using the release candidate, revealing and
addressing lurking bugs such as
#1174. Also
required was this change to dynamically calculate the min utxo value
#1176, a
necessary adjustment following the switch to inline datums. The team
engaged with cardano-cli / cardano-api maintainers to discuss recent
changes and collaborated on drafting feature ideas, including providing
Conway support
for the Hydra roadmap. As part of ongoing improvements, they
experimented with writing the specification in markdown instead of
LaTex.
What did the team achieve this week
- Opened head among us on mainnet and uncovered a few lurking bugs like #1174 in the release candidate
- Calculate the min utxo value instead of hard-coding it #1176, which is needed since we switched to inline datums.
- Met with the
cardano-cli/cardano-apimaintainers to discuss recent changes and way forward - Drafted features ideas to provide Conway support on the Hydra roadmap
- Experimented in writing the specification in markdown instead of LaTex
What are the goals of next week
- Have the Monthly review meeting with several demos
- Release version 0.14.0 with this scope
- Complete tidying up chain layer via stateless observation changes in hydra-node #1096
