High level overview
This week, the Mithril team continued implementing the certification of Cardano transactions in Mithril networks. They focused on scaling the signature and proof generation for mainnet, completed UI improvements for the explorer, provided metadata about the point of the chain used during the verification process, and investigated a bug in the block parser that prevents some Conway transactions from being signed. Additionally, they began prototyping the implementation of a more versatile beaconing mechanism to sign transactions with low latency.
Finally, the team started implementing some community-requested features to verify the output folder structure made by the client, and fixed a source of flakiness in the CI end-to-end test.
