High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team focused on implementing new succinct proofs. The team worked on pre-aggregation SNARK primitives in the STM library, completed bridging between CPU and circuit implementations, and worked on lottery target pre-computation. They also continued to adapt the certificate chain for SNARK-friendliness and to implement signer authentication for SNARK verification keys.

Additionally, the team continued work on the new certification for Cardano blocks and transactions. This included implementing the prover, along with the proof routes in the aggregator REST API, and the diffusion of signing configuration.

Finally, they continued working on static builds for Mithril nodes, fixed some CI bugs, and implemented support for Cardano node v.10.6.2.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team focused on implementing new succinct proofs. The team worked on pre-aggregation SNARK primitives in the STM library, completed golden master tests of the non-recursive SNARK circuit, and worked on bridging CPU and circuit implementations. They also began adapting the certificate chain for SNARK-friendliness.

Additionally, the team continued work on the new certification for Cardano blocks and transactions. This included implementing the signable builder, along with the artifact and proof routes in the aggregator REST API.

Finally, they worked on static builds for Mithril nodes and fixed bugs in the hash-to-curve implementation of the Schnorr signature.

• Worked on the issue Enhance protocol security page on website #2703

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team released the 2603.1 distribution. This version introduces support for the DMQ protocol, preliminary support for decentralized configuration, implementation of the Blockfrost API to fetch stake pool operators' pool tickers and names, and various bug fixes and improvements.

The team also focused on implementing the pre-aggregation SNARK primitives in the STM library and continued work on the non-recursive SNARK circuit MVP, including golden tests.

Additionally, they kept working on the new certification for Cardano blocks and transactions, implementing the signable builder and artifact routes in the aggregator REST API. They also completed documenting proposals for increasing the adoption of Mithril and DMQ nodes in Cardano.

Finally, the team fixed some bugs in the DMQ publisher and follower aggregator and continued updating the protocol security page.

High level overview​

This year, the Mithril team continues to prioritize protocol decentralization through the DMQ network, broader protocol adoption, and the introduction of succinct proofs by evolving the STM library with SNARKs.

This week, they focused on implementing the SNARK-friendly STM library, kept developing the non-recursive SNARK circuit MVP within it, and started working on the pre-aggregation SNARK primitives. They also kept working on the prototype of the recursive SNARK circuit.

Additionally, the team prepared for the deployment of the DMQ network by finalizing its infrastructure and node implementation.

Finally, they worked on documenting a proposal to make Mithril and DMQ opt-out features of Cardano, and continued updating the protocol security page.
