This week, the Mithril team continued implementing a new data type for certifying Cardano transactions within Mithril networks. They completed the signature of the transactions set and implemented the aggregator route, responsible for generating proofs of membership for a list of Cardano transactions. Additionally, they finalized the manual workflow to test the NPM client package in the CI and enhanced the resilience of computing the list of immutable files in a Cardano node database. The team also expanded the coverage of end-to-end tests in the CI to accommodate multiple versions of the Cardano node and various hard fork scenarios.

Finally, they completed the enhanced node communications between Mithril and Cardano for retrieving UTXOs and kept working on the threat modeling and risk analysis for P2P networking.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team released the initial version of the Mithril client NPM package, enabling developers to integrate core Mithril features into their web applications running in a browser. They also released a new distribution, 2403.1, which includes support for Cardano node version 8.7.3, a new chain observer based on the Pallas library, along with bug fixes and performance improvements.

The team kept implementing a new entity type for certifying the Cardano transactions set in Mithril networks and made good progress on retrieving transactions and combining them into a Mithril protocol message. Additionally, they finished implementing a mock aggregator and using it in the browser tests for the Mithril client in WASM.

Finally, they worked on enhancing node communications between Mithril and Cardano and continued working on threat modeling and risk analysis for P2P networking.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team completed the implementation of the client in the explorer, enabling direct certificate verification from the browser. They initiated the implementation of a new entity type for signing to certify the Cardano transactions set in Mithril networks. The team also upgraded the devnet to support the Conway era and activated the Mithril era marker reader on the Cardano chain in the end-to-end test. Additionally, they kept implementing a mock aggregator to strengthen Mithril client tests in WASM and continued working on threat modeling and risk analysis for P2P networking.

Finally, they worked on enhancing node communications between Mithril and Cardano, and they started rolling out the Cardano node in the infrastructure to version 8.7.3.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team worked on implementing the client in the explorer to enable direct verification of certificates from the browser. They also addressed the configuration issue in the signer node service, which occasionally resulted in signers not registering their keys after a restart. Additionally, the team kept implementing a mock aggregator to strengthen Mithril client tests in WASM, continued working on threat modeling and risk analysis for P2P networking, and progressed with the devnet upgrade to support the Conway era.

Finally, they worked on enhancing node communications between Mithril and Cardano and completed the upgrade of the Cardano node topology used in the Mithril networks' infrastructure.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team completed aggregator optimizations, enabling the certification of new data types without introducing a new era. They also facilitated the selection of these data types through a simple configuration parameter. Additionally, the team started implementing a mock aggregator to strengthen Mithril client tests in WASM, kept working on threat modeling and risk analysis for P2P networking, and progressed with the implementation of a testing Mithril network for SanchoNet.

Finally, they worked on some optimizations and refactoring of the Mithril client CLI and started upgrading the Cardano node topology used in the Mithril networks' infrastructure.
