High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team defined the progressive rollout strategy of the IPFS distribution, documented the replication of the immutable archives with a Kubo node, and created the new mithril-setup crate. They also addressed the findings of the M1.1 and M1.2 milestone audits.

The team kept working on the deterministic resolution of the SNARK verification key collisions in the key registration, the activation of the snark feature by default, the implementation of a ratio for IPFS downloads in the client, and the prototype of the orchestrator of the setup command.

Finally, they fixed the blocks and transactions verification failure on the testing-preview network, cleaned the mithril-test-lab directory, fixed the dependencies with security advisories, and worked on the upgrade to Cardano node 11.2.
