High level overview​

The Mithril team launched Mithril protocol’s mainnet beta: the release-mainnet network is now open for signer registrations, and its genesis certificate has been created. The team is monitoring the network, and expects it to start producing certificates during the next Cardano epoch.

They have released a new distribution 2329.0, which is running on the release-mainnet network. They also kept working on the implementation of the stress test tool for benchmarking the aggregator. The team kept working on the refactoring of the serialization/deserialization of the entities of the cryptographic library. Additionally, they completed the cleanup of the legacy store adapters in the aggregator.

Finally, they have worked on enhancing the documentation for onboarding SPOs and setting up a Mithril signer, and fixing installation bugs of the binary artifacts produced in the CI.

High level overview​

The Mithril team created a new 2327.0 distribution. They focused on preparing the beta launch on the mainnet: they tested the new production signer deployment model with the pioneer SPOs, they prepared an SPO on-boarding guide, and they kept working on the deployment and monitoring of the mainnet infrastructure. The team also worked on the implementation of a simple stress test tool for benchmarking the aggregator. Additionally, they completed the refactoring of the interface to the cryptographic library.

Finally, they fixed a bug that sporadically prevented the latest signer registration of a SPO to be used in the associated signing epoch, they fixed a bug in the epoch gap detection of the certificate chain in the aggregator, and worked on multiple other optimizations and bugs.

High level overview​

The Mithril team completed the design of the signer deployment model for the SPOs to run Mithril on their Cardano mainnet infrastructure, and implemented the associated Mithril Relay in the Mithril networks. They started working on the design and implementation of a stress test tool for benchmarking the aggregator performances. They worked on the refactoring of the Mithril Stake Distribution entity and the uniformization of the date types in the nodes. They also worked on implementing a new tool command in the aggregator and its first sub-command that helps avoiding re-genesis of the certificate chain when the structure of the certificate is updated. Additionally, they worked on implementing some monitoring for the Mithril infrastructure, and worked on a retry mechanism for the artifact creation of the aggregator.

Finally, they fixed some bugs, and they completed the upgrade of the Mithril networks to Cardano node v.8.1.1.

High level overview​

The Mithril team completed the implementation of the new sub-command for restoring a Mithril stake distribution in the client. They also updated the client’s developer documentation and architecture documentation, and did some refactoring on the client and its dependency injection mechanism. Additionally, they completed and deployed infrastructure enhancements on the test Mithril networks. They also completed the performance tests of the new stake distribution computation on the Cardano mainnet.

Finally, the team worked on fixing a bug on the client multi-platform test, a bug on the aggregator state machine, and some flakiness on the CI.
