High level overview

This week, the Mithril team continued to implement the first phase of decentralizing the configuration parameters. They also completed enhancements to the client library and CLI, providing access to Cardano database incremental snapshots by epoch. Additionally, they kept working on the design of the snarkification of the certificates.

Finally, the team added a section about compatibility with the Cardano node in the GitHub release notes and worked on adapting to the security changes for NPM package publication.

High level overview

This week, the Mithril team successfully integrated the Haskell DMQ node with Mithril nodes in the end-to-end tests. They continued to implement the first phase of decentralizing the configuration parameters. They also worked on some enhancements to the client library and CLI to provide access to Cardano database incremental snapshots by epoch. Additionally, they updated the signer to ensure it has a unique protocol initializer for each epoch.

Finally, the team fixed some bugs in the CI and completed the first refactoring of the STM cryptographic library that enhances its readability.

This week, the Mithril team focused on integrating the Haskell DMQ node with Mithril nodes and implementing the first phase of decentralizing the configuration parameters. They have also completed the support for multiple proof systems in the STM library. Additionally, they worked on some enhancements to the client library and CLI to provide access to Cardano database incremental snapshots by epoch.

Finally, the team fixed some flakiness in the CI and made progress refactoring the STM cryptographic library.

High level overview

This week, the Mithril team focused on integrating the Haskell DMQ node with Mithril nodes. They also finished the preparatory phase and started the first phase of decentralizing configuration parameters. Work continued on supporting multiple proof systems and developing an implementation plan for Mithril succinct proofs using a SNARK-friendly version of the STM cryptographic library.

Finally, the team replaced vulnerable Rust dependencies for YAML parsing and made progress refactoring the STM cryptographic library.

High level overview

This week, the Mithril team released the 2537.0 distribution, which provides support for Cardano node v.10.5.1, stabilizes commands of the client CLI, provides support for ARM pre-built binaries, and includes various bug fixes and improvements.

The team also completed updating the CIP of the DMQ protocol and its implementation in Pallas and Mithril nodes, introducing changes to the message structure and the n2c local notification mini-protocol. They continued working on the preparatory phase of decentralizing configuration parameters and on supporting multiple proof systems in the STM library.

Finally, a part of the team attended the Node Diversity Workshop #2 event in Toulouse, France, and began testing the integration of the Haskell DMQ node with the Mithril nodes.
