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.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team prepared the pre-release for the 2543.0-pre distribution. This version introduces support for the default incremental backend (v2) for Cardano database restoration, enhanced integrity verification that reports any tampered or missing files in case of failure, and various bug fixes and improvements.

The team also completed the integration of the Haskell DMQ node into the end-to-end tests to enable decentralized signature diffusion. They implemented a simple aggregator discovery mechanism and continued work on the first phase of decentralizing configuration parameters. Additionally, they advanced the design of certificate snarkification.

Finally, they adapted the project to the latest NPM security changes for publishing packages and refactored the aggregator's HTTP client.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team continued to implement the first phase of decentralizing the configuration parameters. They also completed enhancements to the client library and CLI, providing access to Cardano database incremental snapshots by epoch. Additionally, they kept working on the design of the snarkification of the certificates.

Finally, the team added a section about compatibility with the Cardano node in the GitHub release notes and worked on adapting to the security changes for NPM package publication.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team successfully integrated the Haskell DMQ node with Mithril nodes in the end-to-end tests. They continued to implement the first phase of decentralizing the configuration parameters. They also worked on some enhancements to the client library and CLI to provide access to Cardano database incremental snapshots by epoch. Additionally, they updated the signer to ensure it has a unique protocol initializer for each epoch.

Finally, the team fixed some bugs in the CI and completed the first refactoring of the STM cryptographic library that enhances its readability.
