High level summary

  • Worked on a Genesis fix for an edge case in chain selection when the node is just caught-up (#1505).
  • Worked on a Genesis fix to correctly disable ChainSync jumping when the node is caught-up (#1492).
  • Discussed next steps on testing nodes via Antithesis in cooperation with the Cardano Foundation, in particular bespoke tooling (see this Discord message).
  • Continued engaging with the Leios research team to help with open questions and decisions that the innovation team is currently handling.
  • Made significant progress on the validators for the CDDL specs we are adding for the Cardano Blueprints (#1422). We are able to test that some of our golden CBOR files conform to the spec. Work is ongoing to extend the tests for the remaining golden files.
  • Opened a PR to use an automatic formatter for ouroboros-consensus, which will help lower the barrier to entry for new contributors (#1500).
