This week, the Mithril team updated a proposal for implementing Mithril in a light wallet and created a discussion on implementing Mithril in a light wallet to receive feedback and contributions from the community.

They also completed a proof of concept to run a Mithril client in a browser with WASM and worked on enhancing the explorer UI with SPO tickers displayed next to the pool IDs. Additionally, the team finalized a tool for benchmarking aggregator performance over a range of signer and client loads and for visualizing the results of these benchmarks.

Finally, the team added a root page to the aggregator endpoint, created a status page for the Mithril networks, and added a section about KES key rotation in the signer documentation for SPOs.

The Mithril team has released a new distribution 2337.0, which includes the following enhancements: support for zstandard compression of snapshot archives, support for the Cardano node version in snapshot metadata, and support for recording snapshot download statistics in the aggregator.

They also completed the refactoring and standardization of the errors in the Mithril nodes and published an Architectural decision record on the documentation website. Additionally, they kept working on adding Cloudflare protection to the infrastructure.

Finally, the team fixed a performance issue on the stress test tool for the aggregator and made some improvements to the documentation for SPOs.

This week, the Mithril team has completed the refactoring of the terraform deployment workflows in GitHub actions, and the implementation of snapshot compression parameters in the deployments. They kept working on the refactoring and standardization of the errors in the Mithril nodes. The team also completed the implementation of Cloudflare protection for the aggregator infrastructure and started working on its deployment and activation in the Mithril networks. Additionally, they worked on recording download statistics on the aggregator which will be used to produce usage reports.

Finally, they kept working on the aggregator performance bottleneck that occurs with high client traffic and started creating a new distribution.

The Mithril team has released a new distribution 2335.0 which brings enhancements to the client: support for simultaneous downloading and unpacking of the snapshot archives, support for one line command restoration of the latest snapshot, and availability of machine readable progress information.

They have also worked on snapshots enhancements: implementation of the zstandard compression to produce smaller archives, and providing the version of the Cardano node used to create the archive in the snapshot artifacts. They have completed the second phase of the implementation of the stress test tool to benchamrk the aggregator. Additionally, they have kept working on refactoring and standardizing errors in the Mithril nodes.

Finally, they have worked on adding Cloudflare protection to the infrastructure, and they have fixed some bugs that occurred during restoration of a snapshot by a client.

High level overview​

The Mithril team created an explorer page with the registered signers to give recognition to the SPOs already running on mainnet. They also worked on refactoring and standardizing errors in the Mithril nodes, and they enhanced the clarity and reduced verbosity of the logs for the signer and aggregator nodes. Additionally, they started working on the implementation of zstandard compression of the snapshot archive, and streaming its download and decompression in the client.

Finally, they implemented machine readable progress information in the client, and streamlined the process of verifying the registration status of a signer.
