High level overview

This week, the Mithril team focused on signing ancillary files in the Cardano database snapshots using an IOG key and on the proof of concept for the Mithril/ALBA aggregation proof system. They also worked on simplifying the aggregator’s command configuration and dependency injection. Additionally, they kept refactoring the STM cryptographic library to improve clarity.

Finally, the team investigated a communication problem in the signer when the attached Cardano node is restarted, and worked on accelerating the compilation time of the Rust nodes and libraries.

High level overview

This week, the Mithril team started rolling out incremental certification of the Cardano database (also known as Cardano node database v2), which has been activated on the pre-release-preview test network.

They also completed adapting the infrastructure to support the aggregator’s prototype ‘follower’ mode and focused on signing ancillary files in the Cardano database snapshots using an IOG key. Work also continued on the proof of concept for the Mithril/ALBA aggregation proof system.

Finally, the team continued refactoring the STM cryptographic library to improve clarity and started refactoring the aggregator’s command configuration.

High level overview

This week, some members of the Mithril team attended a workshop on the Cardano node diversity in Paris.

They continued adapting the infrastructure to support the aggregator’s prototype ‘follower’ mode and focused on signing ancillary files in the Cardano database snapshots with an IOG key. They also completed the implementation for recording the origin of requests made to the aggregator API.

Finally, the team continued refactoring the STM cryptographic library to improve clarity and maintainability and started implementing a proof of concept for the Mithril/ALBA aggregation proof system.

High level overview

This week, the Mithril team released the 2513.0 distribution, which supports Cardano node v.10.2.1 and includes various bug fixes and improvements.

They continued adapting the infrastructure to support the aggregator’s prototype ‘follower’ mode and focused on signing ancillary files in the Cardano database snapshots with an IOG key. They also worked on recording the origin of requests made to the aggregator API.

Finally, the team updated the CIP-0137 mini-protocols and implementation plan and kept refactoring the STM cryptographic library for improved clarity and maintainability.

High level overview

This week, the Mithril team created the pre-release for the 2513.0-pre distribution, which provides support for Cardano node v.10.2.1 and includes various bug fixes and improvements.

They implemented the aggregator's prototype 'slave' mode to support signer registration across multiple aggregators and started adapting the infrastructure to support it. They also focused on signing ancillary files in the Cardano database snapshots with an IOG key and worked on recording the origin of requests made to the aggregator API.

Finally, the team enhanced the handling of some aggregator functional errors to improve the accuracy of the signer metrics and kept refactoring the cryptographic library to improve clarity and maintainability.
