High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team completed the prover input preparation and SNARK proof verification for the recursive SNARK aggregation primitives and adapted the certificate chain to support recursive SNARKs. They continued work on creating the SNARK proof with the circuit, wiring the SNARK proof in the aggregate signature, refactoring the preparation of the prover input, adding the missing ancillary data for the IVC aggregate signature creation, and updating the Midnight ZK library audit status for SNARK.

Additionally, they completed the optimization of the end-to-end tests for SNARK, updated the ledger state snapshot selection in artifacts, upgraded to Pallas 1.1.0, and enhanced support for discontinued signed entity types in the aggregator.

Finally, the team continued work on shipping the Mithril signer node binary in the Cardano node bundle, the release of the 2625 distribution, and the fix for the aggregator switch in the explorer.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team completed the implementation of the SNARK-friendly genesis certificate and the type-consistency and naming-alignment refactoring for the SNARK recursive circuit. They continued work on the prover input and the SNARK proof verification of the recursive SNARK aggregation primitives, and on adapting the certificate chain to support the recursive SNARK.

Additionally, they completed support for DMQ ledger peers, enforcement of the DMQ message ID format, and a prototype for Cardano node ledger state certification. They also continued shipping the Mithril signer node binary in the Cardano node bundle and updating the ledger state snapshot selection in artifacts.

Finally, the team completed the upgrade of the DMQ node to 0.6.0.0, removed support for Mithril nodes in the devnet, and continued work on optimizing the end-to-end tests for SNARK.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team completed caching of circuit keys for the SNARK circuit in the STM library and removed the helpers module for the SNARK recursive circuit. They continued work on the type consistency and naming alignment refactoring of the SNARK recursive circuit, the prover input of the recursive SNARK aggregation primitives, and the implementation of the SNARK-friendly genesis certificate.

The team also completed enhancements to support the genesis verification key in the explorer. They continued work on shipping the Mithril signer node binary in the Cardano node bundle, enforcing the DMQ message ID format, prototyping the Cardano node ledger state certification, and removing Mithril node support in mithril-devnet.

Finally, the team worked on optimizing the end-to-end tests for SNARK and fixing flakiness in the CI.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team completed the analysis of the impact of the recursive SNARK on the security of the Mithril protocol, implemented benchmarks for the non-recursive SNARK, and refactored the error handling of the SNARK recursive circuit. They continued work on circuit key caching for the SNARK circuit in the STM library, the removal of the helpers module for the SNARK recursive circuit, the prover input for the recursive SNARK aggregation primitives, and the implementation of the SNARK-friendly genesis certificate.

They also enhanced the synchronization of immutable files in the Cardano database, implemented robust support for unknown and in-progress signed entity types, removed the Cardano database v1 backend, and continued working on the prototype for Cardano node ledger state certification. Additionally, they enforced the DMQ message ID format and enhanced the support of the genesis verification key in the explorer.

Finally, the team completed the update of the protocol security page on the website and continued work on shipping the Mithril signer node binary in the Cardano node bundle.
