High-level summary​

This week, the Hydra team made significant progress on incremental decommits by closing the last gaps and cleaning up the specification. They collected scenarios and prepared for incremental commits, updated dependencies for compatibility with cardano-node 9.0.0, and continued tidying up documentation. Work continued on an easy spin-up of the getting-started demo via process-compose. Additionally, the team onboarded a new contributor and held an early design meeting about payment channels and Blockfrost. They also refined the SDK wallet idea.
