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.

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.

The Mithril team completed the Mithril protocol’s mainnet beta launch: the release-mainnet network is now consistently producing new certificates and snapshots! The team has released a new distribution 2331.1 which includes some optimizations and bug fixes: the bootstrap time of a Cardano node restored from a Mithril snapshot has been significantly reduced, and a bug that made the aggregator produce corrupted archives has been fixed. They also kept working on the implementation of the stress test tool for benchmarking the aggregator: the first phase has been implemented, as well as a monitoring feature. Additionally, they kept implementing the refactoring of the serialization/deserialization of the entities of the cryptographic library, and working on the post deployment of the mainnet infrastructure.

Finally, they completed the rewriting and enhancements of the documentation website, and they completed the runbook for operating a production Mithril network.
