High level overview

The Mithril team completed decentralizing the signature orchestration of the Mithril network. They also completed refactoring the Prometheus metrics in the signer and started implementing them in the aggregator. Additionally, the team kept working on supporting the new Pythagoras Mithril era and created the new distribution pre-release 2442.0-pre.

Finally, they kept implementing optimizations on the node logs and enhanced the release creation workflow in the CI.

High level overview

The Mithril team continued working on decentralizing the signature orchestration of the Mithril network. They completed the implementation of the autonomous computation of the messages to be signed by the signer and worked on adapting the way some signing configuration is broadcast to the signers. They also kept working on preparing for the new Pythagoras Mithril era.

Finally, they started working on refactoring the Prometheus metrics in the signer, fixed some minor bugs, implemented some optimizations on the node logs and the aggregator REST API, and made the Cardano transaction client stable.

High level overview

The Mithril team continued working on decentralizing the signature orchestration of the Mithril network. They completed the development of a mechanism to support specific configurations for signing Cardano transactions and kept implementing the autonomous computation of the messages to be signed by the signer. They also activated the certification of the Cardano transactions on the release-mainnet network.

Finally, they started creating a new Mithril era and prepared to upgrade to Cardano node version 9.2.1.

Low level overview

  • Updated a dev blog post about the Certification of Cardano transactions
  • Completed the issue Aggregator advertises constant signing configurations for an epoch #1924
  • Completed the issue Breaking change in crane fails Hydra CI #1928
  • Completed the issue Discrepancy of protocol parameters in epoch settings and pending certificates routes #1963
  • Worked on the issue Signer computes what to sign on its own #1925
  • Worked on the issue Aggregator uses stored signing configurations when creating signed entity type #1961

High level overview

This week, the Mithril team released the new distribution 2437.1. This release includes stable support for Cardano transaction certification and stake distribution certification in both the signer and aggregator, a breaking change in the Mithril client WASM related to handling unstable features, along with bug fixes and performance improvements.

The team also continued working on decentralizing the signature orchestration of the Mithril network. They completed the implementation of a buffer store for individual signatures that may arrive before being processed by an aggregator and finished refactoring the signer state machine. They also worked on developing a mechanism to support specific configurations for signing Cardano transactions and focused on the autonomous computation of the messages to be signed by the signer.

Finally, they worked on a refactoring of the service which computes the messages to certify in the signer and aggregator, and fixed the problem preventing the consistent certification of Cardano transactions in the pre-release-preview network.

The Mithril team continued working on decentralizing the signature orchestration of the Mithril network. They kept implementing a buffer store for individual signatures that may arrive before being processed by an aggregator, worked on refactoring the signer state machine, and started developing a mechanism to support specific configurations for signing Cardano transactions. Additionally, they fixed the panics occurring in the signer and aggregator during Cardano chain rollbacks.

Finally, the team continued preparing the next distribution and investigated a problem preventing the consistent certification of Cardano transactions in the pre-release-preview network.
