According to a blog post detailing the team’s progress, Cardano developers devoted their energy this week to working on ledger, consensus, and networking improvements.
Developers highlight key achievements this week, and they include the finalization and benchmarking for SECP primitives and for the upcoming node v.1.35.6 release. The team registered progress in benchmarking runs for UTXO-HD. The team is now focused on developing tooling and infrastructure.
The benchmarking team finalized benchmarking runs and analyses for the new SECP primitives and for the upcoming node v.1.35.6 release. The team also performed their first benchmarking runs for UTXO-HD and are currently refining the setup. To improve accessibility, they added introspective capabilities to the new tracing system. More work is ongoing on infrastructure and tooling improvements.
The Hydra, Adrestia and Daedalus team have all recorded significant progress in development activity
The Daedalus team is also working on adding support for Ledger v.6.0.3, and the developers are also working on the Lace desk development, as the team improves on the DApp browser.
Meanwhile, the Adrestia team is still focused on the extension of the multi-signature feature with delegation functionality in cardano-wallet. The team is also working on cardano-js-sdk for production release.
On the other hand, the Plutus team worked on script capacity increase and enhancing Pluto’s debugger. Indexers for side chains were built, and a reduction of technical debts through the provision of support for cardano-api, the emulator, was successfully carried out.
This week, the Marlowe team fixed the traversal of parties to extract roles and public keys and some incorrect asset records for marlowe-chain-indexer. They also handled the epoch-boundary block in chain-indexer tests, ensured that coin selection respects collateral rules, and defined the Marlowe Runtime scaling strategy. The team worked on the creation of a first draft of the Marlowe Starter Kit for demeter.run, added unit tests for buildApplyInputConstraintsV1, and made some table modifications in Marlowe Explorer.
In the same week, the Hydra team closed many gaps and aligned the implementation of the Hydra Head protocol logic with the specification.
Minting policy implementation was also finalized and message authentication with researchers was clarified. Plans for further activities for mainnet compatibility have also kicked off. Progress was made on the internal audit and developers have proceeded to publish auditing guidelines so as to receive feedback from the community.
