High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team continued optimizing the SNARK test suite by caching the recursive circuit test fixtures on disk and by consolidating the halo2_snark slow proof tests around shared and golden proofs.

They continued creating the new chain adapter that reads the on-chain configuration parameters, adapting the infrastructure and writing the runbook for these parameters, and worked on the deterministic immutable compressed archives.

Finally, the team anticipated the clippy warnings of the upcoming Rust 1.98 release, and worked on the update of the ed25519-dalek dependency.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team completed the aggregator CLI commands for the on-chain configuration parameters, the combination of the dual MSM and accumulator pairing checks in the IVC proof verification, and the reuse of the cached unsafe SRS in the SNARK test setups.

They continued creating the new chain adapter that reads the on-chain configuration parameters, implementing the missing IVC off-circuit checks, and creating deterministic immutable compressed archives in the aggregator.

Finally, the team completed fixing the flakiness of the end-to-end tests in the CI, deployed the on-chain configuration parameters reader on the test infrastructure, and continued working on the runbook documenting these parameters.

This week, the Mithril team released the 2630 distribution. This version promotes the DMQ node 0.7.0.0 as beta on the release-mainnet and release-preprod networks, activates the testing phase of the Cardano blocks and transactions certification on the pre-release-preview and release-preprod networks, removes the support for the CardanoImmutableFilesFull certificate type in the Mithril signer and aggregator, and includes various bug fixes and improvements.

The team also completed the assessment of the catchup from the genesis certificate for a SNARK follower aggregator and the encoding of the aggregate signature of the certificate message as bytes, and stopped forcing the rustls TLS backend in the future_snark feature of the STM library. They continued combining the dual MSM and accumulator pairing checks in the IVC proof verification, and reusing the cached unsafe SRS in the SNARK test setups.

They also completed the creation of a local IPFS network for a proof-of-concept of decentralized delivery of Cardano database artifacts, and continued implementing the aggregator CLI commands and the new chain adapter for on-chain configuration parameters, as well as the runbook documenting them.

Finally, the team upgraded the documentation website to Docusaurus 3.10.2 and tailwind v4, completed shipping the Mithril signer node binary in the Cardano node bundle, and continued upgrading to Cardano node v.11.1 and fixing the flakiness of the end-to-end tests in the CI.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team completed benchmarks for the IVC SNARK recursive circuit and analyzed and optimized the testing strategy for the STM SNARK modules. They also worked on encoding the aggregate signature of the certificate message as bytes, which significantly reduces the size of the certificates.

The team also continued implementing the aggregator CLI commands and the runbook for on-chain configuration parameters, and began creating a local IPFS network for a proof-of-concept distribution of Cardano database artifacts.

Finally, they completed the repository transfer to the IntersectMBO organization. They also continued working on shipping the Mithril signer node binary in the Cardano node bundle, preparing the 2630 distribution release, upgrading to Cardano node v.11.1, updating the DMQ node to 0.7.0.0, and upgrading the documentation website to Docusaurus 3.10.2 and tailwind v4.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team completed the refactoring of the non-recursive SNARK proof to remove the circuit verification key, upgraded the midnight-zk library to 2.3.3, enabled the Plutus-friendly hash for IVC proving, and refactored the error handling in the Midnight library. They also continued analyzing and optimizing the testing strategy for the STM SNARK modules.

The team also continued implementing aggregator CLI commands for configuration parameters and creating a runbook for on-chain configuration parameters. They completed the simplification of the SignersRegistrationRetriever trait and continued work on shipping the Mithril signer node binary in the Cardano node bundle, the 2628 distribution release, the upgrade to Cardano node v.11.1, and the update of the DMQ node to 0.7.0.0.
