High level overview​

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.

High level overview​

The Mithril team continued working on decentralizing the signature orchestration of the Mithril network. In this preliminary phase, they kept implementing a buffer store for individual signatures that may arrive before being processed by an aggregator. They also worked on refactoring the state machine of the signer and addressed panics occurring in both the signer and aggregator during rollbacks of Cardano transactions. Additionally, they modified the pre-loading mechanism for importing Cardano transactions, ensuring it repeats indefinitely in the signer.

Finally, the team continued preparing the next distribution and investigated a breaking change introduced in a Hydra CI dependency.

High level overview​

The Mithril team kept working on decentralizing the signature orchestration of the Mithril network. In this preliminary phase, they began implementing a buffer store for individual signatures that may arrive before being processed by an aggregator. Additionally, they moved the broadcast of signer registrations to the aggregator’s epoch settings route. The team also monitored the Chang upgrade to ensure the Mithril networks operated correctly and cleaned up unnecessary code. Additionally, they implemented a seamless transition from unstable to stable features in the WASM client.

Finally, the team activated a feature allowing the selection of the arithmetic backend used by Mithril cryptography in the client and refactored the organization of signer dependencies.

High level overview​

The Mithril team started working on decentralizing the signature orchestration of the Mithril network. In this preliminary phase, they are moving signer registrations to the aggregator's epoch settings route. They also optimized memory usage for signers when signing Cardano transactions and completed a proof of concept for diffusing Mithril signatures with the Cardano network layer.

Finally, they added support for retrieving database snapshots from local files in the client and fixed a bug related to the certification of Cardano stake distribution.

High level overview​

The Mithril team has completed their work on certifying Cardano's stake distribution. They implemented the client library, client CLI, and client NPM package. Additionally, they drafted a CIP for the diffusion of Mithril signatures through the Cardano network, which is available in a PR on the CIPs repository.

They also implemented a mechanism in the client to support evolutive configuration options and initiated a proof of concept for integrating signature diffusion with the Cardano network layer. Finally, they created a new runbook in the documentation and made progress on external contributions to the repository.
