High level overview
This week, the Mithril team released the 2543.0 distribution, which adds support for the default incremental backend (v2) for Cardano database restoration, introduces enhanced integrity verification that reports any tampered or missing files in case of failure, and includes various bug fixes and improvements.
The team also continued implementing a simple aggregator discovery mechanism and advanced work on the first phase of decentralizing configuration parameters. Additionally, they made progress implementing the SNARK-friendly STM library by designing its architecture and implementing the Schnorr signature scheme.
Finally, the team completed the implementation of a common HTTP client for the aggregator and made improvements to the protocol security page.
