High level overview​

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.

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.

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.

This week, the Mithril team created the pre-release for the 2537.0-pre 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.

They kept 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 also completed the prototyping of a SNARK proving circuit for Mithril certificates in collaboration with the innovation team. Additionally, the team completed a prototype of a Mithril/Cardano bundle within a Docker image, which allows for a seamless start of a Mithril signer when starting a Cardano node in block producer mode.

Finally, they began working on the preparatory phase of decentralizing configuration parameters and started implementing support for multiple proof systems in the STM library.
