High level overview​

The Mithril team started working on decentralizing the signature orchestration of the Mithril network. In this preliminary phase, they are moving signer registrations to the aggregator's epoch settings route. They also optimized memory usage for signers when signing Cardano transactions and completed a proof of concept for diffusing Mithril signatures with the Cardano network layer.

Finally, they added support for retrieving database snapshots from local files in the client and fixed a bug related to the certification of Cardano stake distribution.

High level overview​

The Mithril team has completed their work on certifying Cardano's stake distribution. They implemented the client library, client CLI, and client NPM package. Additionally, they drafted a CIP for the diffusion of Mithril signatures through the Cardano network, which is available in a PR on the CIPs repository.

They also implemented a mechanism in the client to support evolutive configuration options and initiated a proof of concept for integrating signature diffusion with the Cardano network layer. Finally, they created a new runbook in the documentation and made progress on external contributions to the repository.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team continued their work on the certification of Cardano stake distribution. They completed the implementation of new routes for the aggregator REST API and worked on the verification steps in the client library. The draft CIP for the diffusion of Mithril signatures through the Cardano network is nearly complete. Additionally, they finished benchmarking the signer's footprint for Cardano transactions on the SPO infrastructure.

The team also fixed a bug in the transaction importer that prevented some transactions from being imported near the chain tip and resolved an issue on the documentation website

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team released the new distribution 2430.0 which includes support for Cardano node version 9.1.0. They activated the certification of Cardano transactions in the release-preprod and pre-release-preview networks, and also included bug fixes and performance improvements. The team continued their work on the certification of Cardano stake distribution, activated the certification in the test networks, and started working on implementing new routes for the aggregator REST API..

Finally, the team benchmarked the signer's footprint on the SPO infrastructure, thoroughly tested edge cases for Cardano transaction certification, and continued drafting a CIP for the diffusion of Mithril signatures through the Cardano network.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team focused on preparing for the upcoming release of Cardano transaction certification in Mithril networks. They fixed a bug that was preventing the import of transactions close to the tip of the chain, investigated performance issues on imports from mainnet and SanchoNet, refactored some types used for block and slot numbers, and thoroughly benchmarked performance and tested edge cases.

Finally, the team continued working on the certification of the Cardano stake distribution and redacting a CIP for the diffusion of Mithril signatures through the Cardano network.
