High-level summary​

This week we merged incremental decommits, and got the latest Hydra Head running, on preview, between the team. We also provided a new NixOs configuration for running a Hydra node. We will be working on incremental commits, followsup to the incremental decommit work, and improvements/tests for our network reliability next.

What did the team achieve?​

• Incremental decommit merged! #1344
• Incremental decommit in the TUI #1518
• Hydra Head, and Hydraw, up and running on preview network
• New NixOS-based setup for a Hydra Head node #1506

What's next?​

• Continued work on incremental commit: Off-chain journey
• Network reliability investigations
• Small followups to incremental decommit work
• Support Hydra demo at Rare Evo
• Have a Head open on preview to see it working through the upcoming hard fork

High-level summary​

This week, the Hydra team made significant progress on incremental decommits by closing the last gaps and cleaning up the specification. They collected scenarios and prepared for incremental commits, updated dependencies for compatibility with cardano-node 9.0.0, and continued tidying up documentation. Work continued on an easy spin-up of the getting-started demo via process-compose. Additionally, the team onboarded a new contributor and held an early design meeting about payment channels and Blockfrost. They also refined the SDK wallet idea.

High-level Summary​

This sprint, the Hydra team updated the node to be compatible with cardano-node 8.11-pre. We continued work on increment decommits, investigating adversarial attacks on the smart contract and preparing it to be merged. We also discussed options for the incremental commit work, including designs for a hydra-ledger.

Next sprint we aim to merge incremental decommits and make further progress on the incremental commit design.

High-level summary​

This week, the Hydra team upgraded the hydra-node networking layer to use a versioned handshake protocol, as well as extensive documentation restructuring and bug fixes to the hydra-tui.

What did the team achieve this week​

• Use versioned hadshake when connecting hydra-nodes.
• Restructure documentation.
• Fixed the transaction envelope type parsing in order to be compatible with cardano-cli and update our docs.
• Show the contestations in the hydra-tui
• Experiment with removing persistence in the reliability layer and adding custom command to Reset the head state to the last confirmed snapshot

What are the goals of next week​

• Provide aarch64-linux docker images for hydra-node.
• Release hydra-node 0.17.0
• Finish new model spec changes related to decommit testing
