High level summary

  • Well-Typed held a new lsm-trees milestone presentation, where they showed the progress in two important features:
    • Snapshots (for persisting ledger snapshots)
    • Table union (for storing more parts of the ledger state on disk)
  • Finished the UTXO-HD code review work. Since this feature could have a performance impact, we need to run a new set of system-level benchmarks before we can merge it. The next steps are detailed in this comment.
  • Submitted a request to the Technical Steering Committee on how the node should handle low apparent participation.
  • Added support for computing and checking CRCs of ledger state snapshots, which increases robustness when loading this data from disk (#1319).
