High level overview

This week, the Mithril team kept implementing the data type for certifying Cardano transactions within Mithril networks: they worked on adapting the Mithril explorer to support Cardano transaction verification, started implementing a more efficient transaction signing scheme, stabilized the type names in the API, and kept investigating a bug that prevents the signature of some Conway era transactions. Additionally, they have completed the first version of the Prometheus monitoring endpoint for the signer.

Finally, the team fixed a bug occuring in the publication of the npm packages of the client, enhanced the HTTP tests of the aggregator, and kept working on the KES period computation in the Pallas chain observer.

High level overview

This week the Mithril team announced the release of a new Mithril distribution 2408.0. This release includes several critical updates and enhancements, such as improved support for stake distribution, Mithril era markers retrieval in the Pallas chain observer, enhanced support for the Conway era and Sanchonet network, as well as various bug fixes and performance improvements. In addition, the team has made changes to the Mithril client CLI, changing the log output from stdout to stderr from v0.7.0. This announcement was made in the developer blog post.

The team kept implementing the data type for certifying Cardano transactions within Mithril networks: they completed the support for the verification in the browser with the WASM client, they worked on enhancing the associated client CLI API, and implemented smoke tests. Additionally, the team has activated the signature of Cardano transactions on the testing-sanchonet network, and they have investigated a bug that prevents the signature of some transactions on this network.

Finally, the team worked on reorganizing the repository structure, fixed an issue with test folder generation on MacOS, and worked on some documentation improvements.

High level overview

This week, the Mithril team kept implementing a new data type for certifying Cardano transactions within Mithril networks. They worked on enhancing the client CLI output and almost completed the support for the verification of Cardano transactions in the browser with the WASM client. The team also worked on a new feature of the Pallas chain observer to support stake distribution retrieval, and fixed the majority of the flakiness occurring in the CI end-to-end tests. Additionally, they have deployed the new Mithril network running on SanchoNet.

Finally, the team created a new example crate for using the client library to verify Cardano transactions, kept working on the threat modeling and risk analysis for the Mithril network, and completed their new tool for automatic documentation generation for the CLIs.

This week, the Mithril team kept implementing a new data type for certifying Cardano transactions within Mithril networks. They completed the upgrade of the client library and the CLI to support the verification of Cardano transactions. They also released the new Mithril network running on SanchoNet. Additionally, the team rolled out a new feature of the Pallas chain observer (that now supports the retrieval of Mithril era markers), and kept investigating some flakiness occurring in the CI end-to-end tests.

Finally, the team kept working on the threat modeling and risk analysis for the Mithril network and updated the Mithril network architecture documentation.

High level overview

This week, the Mithril team kept implementing a new data type for certifying Cardano transactions within Mithril networks. They completed the aggregator routes responsible for generating proofs of membership for a list of Cardano transactions and for listing produced artifacts. Additionally, they worked on extending the Mithril client library to support the verification of Cardano transactions, and on the creation of the new Mithril network running on SanchoNet.

Finally, the team kept working on the threat modeling and risk analysis for the Mithril network and investigated some flakiness occurring in the end-to-end tests in the CI.
