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.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team released the new distribution 2428.0, which includes support for Cardano node version 9.0.0, as well as bug fixes and optimizations. They also continued implementing the certification of Cardano transactions in Mithril networks by calibrating the signature parameters for mainnet, fixing a bug preventing the signature of the last block advertised as certified, optimizing a part of the artifact production that was blocking the certification, and starting removing the code reading transactions from the immutable files.

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

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team worked on supporting Cardano node version 9.0.0 and started working on a new Mithril distribution. They also continued implementing the certification of Cardano transactions in Mithril networks. They fixed some bugs blocking the REST API during transactions import, causing resource exhaustion on the aggregator Cardano node, and creating some exceptions in the explorer. They also kept redacting a draft CIP for the diffusion of Mithril signatures through the Cardano network.

Finally, the team worked on enhancing the artifact production in the aggregator to avoid blocking the certification and finalized enforcing the linting of all the files in the repository with the CI.

  • Completed the issue Upgrade Cardano node 9.0.0 #1787
  • Completed the issue Aggregator/Signer preload transactions when Cardano transactions certification is not activated #1782

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team continued implementing the certification of Cardano transactions in Mithril networks. They completed the low-latency certification with the retrieval of transactions using the chain sync mini-protocol and Pallas and worked on fixing some bugs occurring during the warmup phase of the signer and aggregator. They also worked on supporting the new Cardano node version 8.12 and kept redacting a draft CIP for the diffusion of Mithril signatures through the Cardano network.

Finally, the team fixed a bug that prevented the parsing of some blocks in the SanchoNet network and made some optimizations on the databases of the signer and aggregator.
