High-level summary​

The team has been working hard on some bugfixes and investigations, as well as a new feature that can be used to "un-stuck" a Hydra head: side-loading snapshots. We're working on some documentation of this feature, and in the coming weeks we will merge several bugfixes, and an implementation of the "Withdraw 0" trick, which will turn out to be very convenient for those wishing to use custom plutus operations on the L2 ledger but still retain the ability to fanout.

What did the team achieve?​

  • New --advertise option to bind to public IPs #1874
  • New feature: Side-loading of a snapshot #1858
  • Mirror node investigation #1859
  • Bugfix for memmory reduction #1917

What's next?​

  • Documentation for the side-loading snapshot feature #1912
  • Tighten security options of the networking layer #1867
  • Publishing scripts with blockfrost #1668
  • Withdraw 0 trick in L2 ledger #1795
  • Various bugfixes #1916, #1924, #1913, #1915
  • More work on Blockfrost and continued support of Hydra users
