High-level summary​

This week, the Hydra team conducted the monthly review meeting and investigated a broken head situation. The team slightly improved conway forward compatibility in explorer / hydra-node, enhanced hydra-cluster --devnet which allows e2e testing of kupo, extended smoke test to also include committing ADA into the head, documented the anticipated behavior of incremental decommits, and added decommits to the tutorial.

  • Conducted the monthly review meeting (link to recording already?)
  • Investigated a broken head situation #1374
  • Slightly improved conway forward compatibility in explorer / hydra-node #1373

  • Extended smoke test to also include committing ADA into the head #1377
  • Documented the anticipated behavior of incremental decommits and added decommits to tutorial
  • Another write-up of how the incremental commit/decommit could work (without needing merkle trees or L2/L1 interleaving) on this issue
