High level overview

This week, the Mithril team updated the CIP of the DMQ protocol and its implementation in Pallas and Mithril nodes, introducing changes to the message structure and the n2c local notification mini-protocol. They also worked on preparing the pre-release of the following distribution and continued collaborating with the innovation team on prototyping a SNARK proving circuit for Mithril certificates. Additionally, the team continued to prototype a Mithril/Cardano bundle within a Docker image.

Finally, they enhanced the CI workflows used to verify the integrity of a restored Cardano database and made progress refactoring the STM cryptographic library.
